Comments
This should be one of the better games for Saturday. Auburn is coming off of a tough win at Ole Miss while LSU absolutely destroyed South Carolina in their recent game. I think these two teams are about even. Auburn is probably a little more stable. Their starting QB Bo Nix should be playing on Saturday. Meanwhile, LSU quarterback Myles Brennan is unlikely to play against Auburn. Brennan is listed on the LSU depth chart for this week, however, TJ Finley, who filled in for Brennan against South Carolina, did a terrific job against the Gamecocks. So maybe LSU will go with Finley first to see if it was just beginners luck last week. If Brennan is able to play put him in to place Finley. I think Auburn wins at Auburn. It’s hard to win at Auburn, just ask Alabama.
