Just about anything that could go wrong for LSU against Auburn went wrong.
LSU was dominated by Auburn in a 48-11 setback on Saturday that dropped LSU to 2-3 as the month of October came to a close.
With such a decisive loss, there is plenty of blame to go around. Let’s hand out some grades for this week’s performance as LSU wraps up the midway point of its season.
Quarterbacks: D
Young quarterbacks will tend to have some growing pains in new situations. This was one of those for TJ Finley. A week after impressing against South Carolina, Finley got a rude dose of reality from an aggressive Auburn defense. Finley completed just 13 of 24 attempts for 143 yards with two interceptions and a fumble, which was returned for an Auburn touchdown.
Max Johnson came in to deliver Finley in the second half and ended the game with 172 yards and a touchdown. After the game, Ed Orgeron made it clear that Myles Brennan will still be LSU’s quarterback when he is ready to return to the field.
