War Eagle, everybody! It’s time now for the Acid Reign report, on Auburn’s humbling 45-21 loss to the LSU Tigers. Last week, Auburn faced a spirited FCS bunch that gave a good battle. This week, Auburn was physically humiliated by a team that was obviously way stronger. These Tigers are a long, long way from the bunch 21 months ago that imposed their will on the SEC.
For all the hype about LSU running back Leonard Fournette (deserved, too.), this game was won in the trenches. LSU linemen squashed the Auburn running game, and sacked Jeremy Johnson 5 times.
