LSU-Auburn: Defensive keys to an LSU victory

As LSU faces Auburn on Saturday, the Tigers defense looks to continue the success it had last week against South Carolina.

Control the line of scrimmage

On defense, LSU has to win the battle at the line of scrimmage. Getting into the backfield on first and second downs are key to getting enough three-and-outs from Auburn to pull away in the second half.

The Tigers have big bodied players that can bulldoze over Auburn offensive lineman to stop the ball carrier or get pressure on Nix. Expect a big game statistically from the LSU defensive line on Saturday.
