Don't judge Auburn just on the Arky game.

AU has real weaknesses just like LSU does. Arky is a mess. LSU has sound special teams coverage, returner and kicker. Sure the defense is great. But, this game will come down to turnovers and big plays. Newton reminds me of Vince Young carrying the Longhorns.


One thing i noticed though about Auburn is that they are very physical. Both in the Clemson and So. Carolina game, there was some pads popping.

Ask Andre Debose about this. I think our coverage is a bit sketchy at time

It's definitely gotten worse lately. Needed to tighten that up.

Fluke, Debose is legit. Auburn has nobody close to Debose.

Yeah god forbid our ST breaks down in kick coverage once to one of the best pure athletes in college football.

Dubose may be legit, but Jarrett Lee would have scored on that kickoff return.
Coverage was awful on that play...

all LSU has to do is be physical and get into a sloppy game with Auburn. The more dysfunctional and quirky the game is, the better for us

Look at the UK game which the cats should have won. Look at the Clemson game that AU had to go to OT to win. This is not a great team.

Karnell Hatcher was held and blocked in the back on that play and he was in Debose's lane.

The dam point is that overall LSU Special Teams is a strength, and that LSU can kick field goals and score points other than on offense.

It's a very good team with a great offense.

Also Moo-state could have beaten Auburn. It was a very close game that MSU feels like they gave away. Auburn is very good offensively but Ark. is just plain awful on D.

It's going to be physical and this game has been shaping the SEC (except for last year) race. LSU needs to stay focused. Chavis has an All-American at all 3 levels of defense (Nevis, Sheppard, Peterson), and will have a good plan. The O needs to step-up.

However, something bizzare will happen in this game.....it always does.

coverage was awful because it was a low, short, line drive kick

So we're gonna do this?

-Look at the UNC game against their JV squad
-Look at the Tennessee game who is hot garbage
-Look at the Florida game who is hot garbage

Their resume so far is substantially more impressive than us.

I don't think so but you are entitled to your (wrong) opinion.

I'm assuming you mean their defense, because that's who was missing the most, starting players. If that's the case, that JV squad is still better defensively than Auburn's varsity squad.

I thought that Auburn was good 30 seconds ago; now, I'm pretty sure they're garbage.
