LSU vs Auburn Game Preview

Why LSU Will Win

Shhhhhhhhh, LSU is actually pretty good.

Forgotten about by the college football nation after the weird loss to Florida State to kick things off, Brian Kelly’s club came up with easy wins over Southern and New Mexico, and it rallied back late in a strong win over Mississippi State.

The passing game has been great – more on the problems with that in a moment – and the running game stepped up with over 200 yards in each of the last three games.

The defense held up against the Mississippi State passing game, the run defense wasn’t bad against Florida State, and now it gets to go against an Auburn offense that can’t move the chains, can’t get the passing game going, and it isn’t getting enough production from the offensive line.

The LSU D line should be able to take over, but …

Why Auburn Will Win

Is Jayden Daniels okay?

The Arizona State transfer quarterback has been great so far for LSU. He almost pulled the Florida State game out of the fire, he came through in the fourth quarter against Mississippi State, and he did whatever he wanted against New Mexico before getting knocked out with a back injury.

He’s supposed to be fine, but the LSU offense needs him to shine on the road in what should be an interesting environment.

The weather isn’t supposed to be horrible, but it’s likely going to rain with just enough wind to matter – that might be a bit of a differentiating factor for a team that’s struggling so much offensively.

Keep the score low, rely on a run defense that had problems against Penn State but has held up okay overall, and …

What’s Going To Happen

The LSU running game should take over.

Auburn’s defense has been fine, but Penn State was able to rumble well, and Missouri almost-and-should’ve come up with the overtime win last week before the unfortunate fumble near the end zone saved Auburn’s day.

Auburn has to win the turnover battle, but it won’t. It has to outgain LSU on the ground, but it won’t.

It’ll be a low scoring and interesting fight, but LSU will come up with the key plays the home side won’t.

College Wire editors predict the winner from each SEC game in Week 5

The College Wire’s SEC editors lay out their predictions in each of the conference’s seven games in Week 5.

Week 5 in the SEC has arrived with two teams enjoying the open week. The Tennessee Vols (4-0) and Vanderbilt Commodores (3-2) will return to action in Week 6.

In Week 4 the conference finished 6-0 in nonconference play. Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi State, Texas A&M, and Auburn enjoyed winning their SEC matchups. For Week 5 there are a total of seven games featuring SEC teams and only two are of the nonconference variety.

South Carolina will host South Carolina State and Florida will host FCS opponent Eastern Washington on Sunday. The game was moved due to Hurricane Ian. Ole Miss is the final SEC team that will play a conference game, every other squad has at least one game under their belt.

A quick look at the SEC standings heading into this game:

West Team Conf Overall East Team Conf Overall
Alabama 1-0 4-0 Georgia 1-0 4-0
Auburn 1-0 3-1 Kentucky 1-0 4-0
LSU 1-0 3-1 Tennessee 1-0 4-0
Texas A&M 1-0 3-1 Florida 0-2 2-2
Ole Miss 0-0 4-0 Missouri 0-1 2-2
Arkansas 1-1 3-1 South Carolina 0-2 2-2
Mississippi State 0-1 3-1 Vanderbilt 0-1 3-2

As we do each week, the SEC editors on the College Wire network make their predictions for each conference game on the schedule.

A quartet of LSU football games named among top 100 of 2021

Which LSU games land on ESPN’s top 100 of 2021?

Four of the LSU Tigers games from the 2021 campaign made the list for the top 100 games of the season (subscription required). Not all of them are on the winning side of things.

No. 61: Auburn 24, LSU 19

Scott Clause-The Daily Advertiser/USA TODAY Sports

LSU came into the game at 3-1 and looking to continue their winning ways against Auburn in Death Valley. However, they had other ideas as the Purple and Gold forgot how to sack Bo Nix. He was able to get his team off the losing end in Baton Rouge for the first time this century.

What ESPN Says…

The Bo Nix game. Auburn won in Baton Rouge for the first time since 1999, thanks in part to … whatever this was.

No. 59: Alabama 20, LSU 14

Butch Dill-USA TODAY Sports

LSU came into the Alabama game reeling. Losers of three of the last four games and needing to get two wins in their final four to become bowl eligible. The defense came after Bryce Young, Orgeron called for fake punts to the backup tight end. They laid it all out on the line but failed to pull off the upset with multiple chances late in this game.

What ESPN Says…

Coming off of a bye week and playing with nothing to lose, LSU threw things at Bryce Young that it hadn’t shown all year, and it worked. Alabama scored 20 points in a five-minute span midgame but was otherwise held scoreless, and LSU twice had the ball in Bama territory with a chance to take a late lead but couldn’t get the job done.

Five questions with Zac Blackerby of Auburn Wire

Behind enemy lines with Auburn Wire.

LSU will finally begin conference play later this week as they travel to Auburn. A road test at Auburn may be the toughest game the SEC has to offer right now.

LSU will have to hit the ground running right away.LSU won its lone meeting with Auburn last year. That game was in Baton Rouge. The last time LSU traveled to Auburn was almost two years ago when Auburn won a thriller in overtime.

We sent some questions to Auburn Tigers Wire to help get a better understanding of what LSU is up against on Wednesday and how the two Tigers match up with each other.

LSU vs Kentucky: Quarterback tale of the tape

A look at Max Johnson vs Will Levis in this week’s QB Tale of the Tape.

After a demoralizing loss to Auburn on Saturday night in Death Valley, we’re onto Lexington with an SEC cross-divisional matchup with Kentucky. These teams haven’t played each other since the 2014 season. LSU 41-3 in Death Valley. In their last two matchups, the Tigers have won by a combined 76-10 margin. This marks the first LSU trip to Lexington since 2007, a loss to the Wildcats.

These are your typical LSU Tigers and definitely not your typical Kentucky Wildcats. Head coach Mark Stoops has his defense playing at a very high level. They look more like the LSU Tigers than the Tigers do. They run the football and play good defense. Kentucky could be in line for a letdown game after knocking off Florida in Lexington for the first time since 1986.

The two teams feature two quarterbacks who play a different style. Levis is more of a game manager, who throws if the situation calls upon it but they like to run the ball. Johnson is more of the gunslinger, who throws the ball for an average of 36.2 times a game. Levis has an average of 23.6 pass attempts per game.

Studs and duds from LSU’s 24-19 loss to Auburn

One final look back at the Auburn game with our studs and duds from Saturday night.

Two days removed from LSU’s disappointing loss to Auburn at Tiger Stadium Saturday night, we thought we would take a look at some bright spots and not so bright spots that showed up on the field. There were a few studs and more duds both on the field and on the sidelines.

Duds: All four LSU running backs

SCOTT CLAUSE/USA TODAY Network

Continuing a season trend that looks uglier each week, LSU’s running attack will be an eyesore for the rest of the season if the offensive line is not able to get a push and the running backs continue to struggle. LSU’s 13 designed runs went for 46 yards.

If you include Max Johnson’s 11 runs for -12 yards, it’s even uglier. LSU is averaging less than 3 yards per carry. In SEC play, it’s gaining less than a yard before first contact.

The blame can’t be put solely on the four running backs Corey Kiner, Tyrion Davis-Price, Armoni Goodwin, and Josh Williams, but they need to be mentioned until things start to turn around.

Next, the standout receiver

Social Reax: Fans take to Twitter following loss to Auburn

Social media went right after the head coach following the 24-19 loss.

Early in the game against Auburn, LSU looked as if it came to play. The passing game from Max Johnson to Kayshon Boutte and Jack Bech was working. The only problem: Not much else was.

The defense did its job early, holding Auburn scoreless despite trips into LSU territory. Auburn didn’t find the scoreboard until 4:53 remained before halftime. Auburn then outscored LSU 24-6 from that point to win 24-19.

Cade York did his job with four made field goals, including one from 51 yards. At this point, it is almost automatic when it comes to the All-American kicker.

York isn’t the only thing that is automatic on the LSU Tigers team this year. It is almost automatic that the team can’t run the football, protect the quarterback or prevent the explosive plays on the defensive side of the ball.

It was a rough outing and disappointing as head coach Ed Orgeron stated following the game.

Instant Analysis: Five takeaways from LSU’s embarrassing loss to Auburn

Five quick takeaways from the LSU-Auburn game

The game lived up to the hype of the LSU-Auburn matchup that we have seen over the years. Would the home team get redemption or would War Eagle snap the streak?

It was a tale of two different halves for the LSU football team. They held two different two-score leads in this game. They were up on Auburn 13-0 in the first half, then again 19-10 early in the fourth quarter.

The Tigers wanted redemption for their loss last season at Auburn, but it was the redemption story for Bo Nix in this game. The Auburn defense was also able to keep LSU off the scoreboard in the final 18:26 in the game for the win 24-19. It was a Max Johnson poor decision that ultimately ended the game for LSU.

WATCH: Kayshon Boutte and LSU strike first against Auburn

Kayshon Boutte proving he is the top touchdown producer at the WR position.

After forcing Auburn and Bo Nix to punt the ball to LSU at the nine-yard line, it was Max Johnson’s turn. The combination of Johnson and Kayshon Boutte would help the offense strike first.

The first play from scrimmage for LSU was a 55-yard catch and run to Boutte, that took them into Auburn territory. Boutte caught another pass for 13 yards and a first down as they marched right into the redzone. On first and goal from the 10, a bad snap put the offense all the way back on the Auburn 31-yard line. The very next play was Johnson to Boutte once again.

LSU was able to strike first, due to penalties and a bad snap, Johnson was able to throw for over 100 yards on the drive. It was a remarkable effort by the Johnson and Boutte connection on this drive, LSU can use a lot more of that moving forward.
