Monday press conference with Aub coach Hugh Freeze was interesting to say the least. Reagarding Daniels , if he’s not in the Heisman discussion, there’s a problem. He’s playing at an incredibly high level. There is not a weakness on that (LSU’s) offense. It’s impressive to watch.

Freeze was impressed with his team’s performance vs Ga, talked about his quarterback’s incompletions vs Ga. Freeze was explaining that the majority of the time in this league DB’s are going to contest passes, “except maybe LSU” LOL Yes, he stated exactly that!

Also despite having a bye week, Freeze listed many Aub players hurt especially on defense and noted will have to have some young players step up.

TTT - For this game, Vegas puts the o/u at 65.5, take the over. Lock of the week.

Sadly, I can't argue.

I'm not going to touch this O/U. It was easy to smash the over Saturday against Mizzou, but this one going under has a legit shot of happening.

He’s not wrong.

Thankfully Aubbie’s QB sucks

Freeze is going to Hv his offense decimate our defense.

If we can keep them to 35 or less I like our chances

Originally I had a very similar view as yours, I was impressed with Aub’s defense even before they played Ga close. But now with their defense hurting, and some new players starting, my view has changed. LSU’s offense will take advantage of any weakness. This potent LSU offense is not one you want to have on the job training as a defender.

It's not that I doubt LSU's offense. It's actually Auburns offense I doubt.

40 seems like a good number for LSU to still dominate on offense, but Auburn has a few stops.

20 seems like a good number for Auburn. Their offense is putrid, and so is our defense. So something has got to give, and I (probably stupidly) have more faith in our defense to keep it at 20.

That’s because you want to believe LSU defense can’t be that bad against one of the weakest offenses in the SEC. You are exactly right, something’s gotta give.

I mean he isn't lying about the dbs. Non of them look back for the ball it's really sad. This is all on coaches at this point.

Freeze is going to try to slow the game down using ToP in the running game and keeping the ball away from the LSU offense. Not sure I’d take the over in this one.

I guess Freeze fancies himself a regular Lane Kiffin now.

I thought about that, it’s definitely the smart move as a coach, but LSU scores so damn fast on offense and Aub’s hurting defensively. Aub vs LSU games are notoriously close, so you may be right.

So when LSU wins 38-17 you'll be out of $20. Congrats

Not saying that won’t happen but with LSU’s defense such a liability Kelly’s going to want to pour it on offensively plus Kelly knows the high numbers help Daniels Heisman hopes.

Hell no, Auburn's secondary is pretty good and with Daniels' injury, I think LSU will try to run the ball to win.

On the other side, Auburn will definitely try to run the ball. Their quarterback play has been atrocious, missing wide open passes constantly.

I think it'll be like a 30-20 type score.
