LSU is the nation’s number one team, but they have some chinks in the armor and Auburn, with a first year quarterback and a good defense, both showed that they were almost capable of beating this LSU squad.

Those War Eagles showed a clear path to victory from a defense standpoint. Auburn held LSU to about half their season average in scoring and showed LSU’s problems in the red zone when they tried to run it in.
