A big matchup this Saturday night in Death Valley. The Auburn Tigers come into this game as the No. 22 team in the country with a 3-1 record. Their lone loss came two weeks ago against the Penn State Nittany Lions. For their second road game of the year, it also comes in hostile territory.
The LSU Tigers are gearing up for their third home game of the season, this time it’ll be against a Power Five opponent, Auburn. After victories over McNeese and Central Michigan, LSU looks to step up the level of competition with an SEC West foe. For the first time in their careers, Ed Orgeron and Bryan Harsin go head-to-head as head coaches.
Ironically enough, this is the team that gave him the opportunity to become the head coach at LSU. Following the loss to Auburn in 2016, Orgeron was elevated to interim coach when Les Miles was relieved of his duties.
