LSU vs Auburn Preview
LSU is coming off a 52-24 win over South Carolina. Their offense isn’t the same high-scoring affair it was when Joe Burrow was there last year, but the Tigers have still managed to continue to put points on the board. LSU is averaging 42 points a game, and they may have found a hidden gem on their roster last week.
In his first start filling in for injured starter Myles Brennan, freshman quarterback TJ Finley went 17-21 for 265 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in relief. He also had a rushing score.
“I enjoyed the TJ Finley show Saturday night, I hope I see it again,” LSU head coach Ed Orgeron said this week. “One of the best freshman performances I’ve ever seen so let’s see what he does this week. I think he’s only going to continue to get better.”
The Tigers have been just fine on offense, but they are giving up 30 points a game through their first four games on the defensive side, and they’re about to be challenged in a big way against Auburn.
Still, Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn said that he’s not trying to overlook LSU’s defense this week. “I think you’ve seen that their defense is fine,” Malzahn said. “They’re better each week. They do have a bunch of young guys, new guys, so just trying to get that experience, but they’ve seen that the last couple weeks, they’ve improved. We’ll see what their plan is, but they definitely have improved.”
Auburn is fresh from a 35-28 win over Ole Miss. Quarterback Bo Nix went 22-30 for 238 yards and a score. It was his best performance since Week 1, and he’ll need to take advantage of a leaky LSU defense.
Nix leads a Tigers offense that’s averaging 24.4 points a game, and they’ve displayed a nice balance on offense over the last two weeks in particular, netting over 200 yards both receiving and in the running game. Running back Tank Bigsby is a big reason why; he has three straight 100-yard games.
On defense, Auburn is giving up 25.2 points and over 385 total yards a game. They’ve been a bit more porous against the run than they’d like, surrendering 180.4 yards and nine scores on the ground in five games this season.
This has all the makings of a classic SEC shootout, and if previous matchups between these two are any indication, it should be a back and forth battle that could come down to the final possession.
