War Eagle flies to Baton Rouge this week to take on the talented but inconsistent LSU Tigers. Indeed, there is nothing in college football like a Louisiana Saturday night.

First-year head coach Hugh Freeze wastes no time in getting Auburn back up to speed. To nearly defeat the 2-time defending national champions is a sign of progress. But at Auburn, there are no such things as moral wins.

But it was not to be. Auburn’s final drive was halted with a fourth-down interception by Malaki Starks just across midfield. In sum, Payton Thorne passed for 82 yards with an interception.

LSU Tigers Team Overview
Last game, the LSU Tigers won 49-39 against the Missouri Tigers as 6.5-point road favorites. The game went over the total of 63.5. LSU has a record of 4-2 straight up, 3-3 against the spread, and 6-0 over/under the total. LSU ranks 3rd for total offense, 7th for passing, 15th for rushing, and 5th for scoring. Defensively, they rank 124th overall, 121st against the pass, 97th against the rush, and 112th for points allowed.
Also, LSU ranks 51st for the fewest turnovers lost and 52nd for takeaways. Jayden Daniels threw for 259 yards and three touchdowns, ran for 139 yards and another score, and, despite playing with banged-up ribs much of the second half, rallied No. 23 LSU to a victory over No. 21 Missouri on Saturday.
Logan Diggs added 134 yards rushing and a touchdown. While Malik Nabers caught six balls for 146 yards and the go-ahead score with 2:58 to go. Hence, LSU escaped a shootout in which defense appeared optional. The teams combined for 46 first downs, 1,061 yards total offense – and 22 penalties for 145 yards. Missouri had two chances, trailing 42-39 down the stretch. But a false start and fumble led to a failed fourth-down attempt. Following the beleaguered Missouri defense forcing a quick punt, LSU safety Major Burns picked off Cook for a Pick-6.
