I'm curious for the reasons why so many of you like LSU today. I don't see it and am just interested in seeing the opposing viewpoint in the event that I am missing something. My reasons for Auburn are below
I think this is the best offense that LSU has faced, I think Auburn has faced a much tougher schedule and in that some quality offenses (Kentucky and Arkansas) and solid D's (South Carolina and at times Clemson). Auburn's defense has struggled at times but that was against better offenses and more specifically accurate pocket passers. LSU doesn't have that and I think they will struggle to keep up with Auburn. Auburn won't just roll up on LSU but I think Newton will show his passing ability (if he is smart enough to stay away from Patterson) and should have lanes to through if LSU attempts to stop the run. On the other side I like how Auburn has the ability to create turnovers and Jefferson is prone to giving it up. If Lee gets more of the time he has passing skills but he isn't nearly as talented as Arkansas's qb's. And if Auburn is up 3-7 in the late going I don't expect Les Miles to have all of a sudden mastered the art of clock management. I think LSU's clock strikes midnight in a big way with a DD loss here.
