What to watch for in LSU’s Week 5 contest vs. Auburn

Here’s what to keep an eye on when LSU takes the field against Auburn

LSU and Auburn are slated to meet Saturday night for the 57th time in the history of the two programs.

Auburn has won the last two meetings, after delivering a blowout loss in 2020 and riding Bo Nix to a win in Baton Rouge in 2021. This will be Brian Kelly’s first taste of the series and could very well be Bryan Harsin’s last.

LSU lost its opener to Florida State but has since rebounded well. [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] has started to settle in, and LSU’s defense has strung together dominant performances.

Auburn started 2-0 before getting blown out by Penn State at home. Last week, Auburn welcomed Missouri to town and won in overtime, but it was an ugly game.
