It wasn’t exactly the performance Tigers fans wanted to see on Saturday night on the road against Auburn. But you can never look a gift horse in the mouth when it comes to winning at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
LSU’s 21 unanswered points to overcome a three-score deficit moved its record in SEC play to 2-0 and earned it the final spot in the AP Top 25 (though it still sits just outside the top 25 in the Coaches) as it welcomes the No. 8 Tennessee Volunteers to town in what will now be a ranked matchup.
The Volunteers come into this game fresh as they were on a bye in Week 5 after earning a huge win at home to end a five-game losing streak to Florida. They’re undefeated, boasting a pair of ranked wins, and home to contend with a Georgia team in the East that has looked vulnerable the last two weeks.
UT’s calling card is a high-octane passing offense that is one of the most productive in the country, and it could have a lot of success against an LSU defense that took a bit of a step back last weekend.
It’s likely due to this concern that the Vols open as a slim betting favorite heading into a rare 11 a.m. local kick in Death Valley.
