Auburn football: Tigers have an opponent they can focus on rather than coaching change
Auburn and LSU have a heated rivalry that dates back to 1901. The teams will meet on Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium at 6 p.m. CT. Auburn is 24-31-1 all-time against LSU, but 13-8 against the Bayou Bengals. LSU is an 8-point favorite. Brian Kelly is the new head coach at LSU. He has an identical 3- 1, 1-0 record. He will get his first experience of SEC play on the road. A win will ease some of the pressure on head coaches Bryan Harsin and BrianKelly.
Auburn has a new opponent to focus on.
Auburn has scored in 121 consecutive games. Tank Bigsby has 2,214 career rushing yards and 19 touchdowns. Robby Ashford scored his first career touchdown last week against Missouri. John Samuel Shenker needs 4 catches on Saturday to become Auburn’s all-time career receptions leader for tight ends. He needs 60 catches to surpass the mark set by the late, great Philip Lutzenkirchen (2009-12).
