<h2>
Tigers-Tigers Match-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Auburn opened its season with a sweet 21-16 victory over a ranked Washington Huskies outfit, and last week dispatched of Alabama State 63-9. The Tigers, favored by a ridiculous 61 points last week, led the Hornets at the half 42-2, then basically called off the dogs from there and came up two scores short of cashing in.
</p>
<p>
Two weeks ago the Tigers led nearly the entire game against Washington, fell down by a point early in the fourth quarter but won it on a score with six minutes to go. On the night Auburn outgained the Huskies 420-398, hit 9/18 on 3rd-down conversions and covered as a two-point favorite.
</p>
<p>
Louisiana State, meanwhile, opened its season with what we thought was a surprising 33-17 victory over a ranked Miami Hurricanes. Then last week the Tigers blanked Southeastern Louisiana 31-0.
</p>
<p>
LSU grabbed a quick 14-0 lead on the Lions last Saturday, bumped that to 21-0 by the half and cruise-controlled it from there. But they did not deserve or attain the cover as 40-point favorites.
</p>
<p>
Louisiana State actually got outgained by Miami two weeks ago 342-296 but won the ground battle 156-83 and the turnover battle 2-0.
</p>
<p>
Comparably speaking, Auburn's win over Washington is probably more impressive than LSU's win over the Hurricanes.

<h3>
The Rivalry/Recent History<br />
</h3>
<p>
LSU is 8-3 over the last 11 meetings with Auburn, but Auburn has won two of the previous four encounters and covered four of the last six. Last year, though LSU pulled a shocker, rallying from down 20-0 in the second quarter to beat what was a hot Auburn team at that moment 27-23, winning outright as a six-point home dog.
</p>
<p>
The key play in that game was a 75-yard punt return by LSU's DJ Chark early in the fourth quarter that closed the score to 23-21.
</p>
<p>
Also, that game played over a total of 47 when LSU kicked an insurance field goal with 30 seconds left.
