This is about as good an atmosphere as it gets in the SEC. Auburn renews its rivalry with LSU and does so in a night game at Tiger Stadium.

After a bye week, Auburn comes to Death Valley in a two-game losing streak to open SEC play. Auburn lost last year’s game to LSU but has won two of the last three in the series.

Auburn has yet to put together a convincing display of offense on the road this season, and while LSU’s struggling defense may seem like a game to get right, doing so in the Tiger Stadium crowd is always a challenge.

Depending on the platform, most oddsmakers have Auburn listed between a 10.5 and 11.5 point underdog. Kickoff is set for 6 pm and the game will be aired on ESPN. Make sure to refresh the page for live analysis from Baton Rouge.

Pregame

– Kickoff has been pushed back to 6:10 due to the Oregon-Washington game on ESPN

– Auburn appears generally healthy all things considered. All of the questionable players other than Damari Alston (Ja’Varrius Johnson, Malcolm Johnson, Jaylin Simpson) all appear to be good to go. Alston doesn’t appear to have made the trip. He was not spotted on the sideline. He is dealing with a shoulder injury.

– Auburn won the kickoff and deferred to the second half.

1st Quarter

– LSU just put on a show with its offense. It’s not hard to see why Hugh Freeze spoke so highly of them. LSU takes fewer than two minutes to score, driving 75 yards in four plays for a touchdown. It’s loud in Baton Rouge.

LSU leads 7-0

– Auburn looks just the same as how Auburn has looked on the road all season on its first drive. Auburn goes three-and-out, picks up a penalty, has to burn a timeout because it couldn’t get lined up and then has an errant snap. That was a mess. It’s the way Auburn’s offense has come out on the road every time this season.
