Second-ranked LSU visited Auburn. The good Tigers were three touchdown underdogs. We always win the pregame:
Auburn played LSU extremely tough. The defense moved faster and forced a few key turnovers. Our Tigers were leading at the half, despite a still-struggling offense:
Some odd play calling and an offense that can’t move the ball means LSU wins, every time, despite an Auburn defense that refused to give in. LSU won 12-10, but it felt a lot like Auburn should be able to take the victory, so the gratification of not watching them get beaten up was replaced by the frustration of what should have been.
At least we got to enjoy the Golden Band from Tigerland.
Up next for Auburn is a bye week, and then Arkansas, who lost at home to Rutgers tonight. Elsewhere, Alabama defeated the mighty Florida Atlantic 40-7. UAB almost ruined Ohio State’s season. Looking at the stats, it is hard to see how the Buckeyes managed to win, but they held off UAB 29-15. Samford, meanwhile, came from behind on the road to beat Western Carolina 25-21, giving them a 4-0 start for the first time since 1995.
