Auburn is 0-2 in the SEC after consecutive losses to Texas A&M and No. 1 Georgia.
After a week off, Auburn football is back as it arrives in Baton Rouge to face No. 22 LSU on Saturday.
On Monday leading up to this game, head coach Hugh Freeze said it’s going to be tough to stop LSU’s offense. He went as far as to mention it in the same sentence as the 2019 LSU offense. Auburn is also going to need some health on its defense. Defensive back Keionte Scott won’t be back yet due to his ankle injury,
So it comes down to two factors: Can Auburn have enough health in its experienced secondary, and can the defense, which has been very good this season, step up to this challenge of the best offense it has faced, even if stepping up just means holding LSU to below 40 points?Auburn’s offense has scored 17 points in two road games this season. Well, technically Auburn has scored 24 but there’s a touchdown from linebacker Eugene Asante in there from the Texas A&M loss.
But, it also could be a get-right game for LSU’s defense against a bad Auburn offense. If Auburn is going to figure it out on the road, this is the defense to do it against. But it’s still a group that is talented on paper and nighttime in Baton Rouge is a very difficult environment. It’s still going to be a challenge getting things going on the road.Is it fair to call Ashford the cliche X-factor? It might be.
