Comments
The battle of the Tigers part II. Auburn scratched away a win because of Missouri Tiger’s poor coaching decisions and a reckless player’s pitiful ball security. This week I expect LSU to be fully in control by midway through the third quarter. Late blunders and poor coaching won’t matter. And Bryan Harsin’s seat will sizzle once again.
