Auburn-LSU, keys to the game

  • The quarterback battle will be one that most people are watching Saturday. Auburn QB Jarrett Stidham is healthy, looks calm in the pocket and is making good decisions. He’s throwing darts. He’s also shown that he learns from mistakes. He went 9 for 26 against LSU last season and was non-existent in the second half. Stidham remembers and won’t let that happen again. Plus, he has a lot of playmakers surrounding him.
  • On the other side, Ohio State transfer Joe Burrow is 2-0 as a starter after LSU beat Miami and Southeastern Louisiana. He’s completed 21-of-44 passes with two touchdowns and without an interception. Is Burrow ready for his first SEC game — on the road, no less?
  • The Auburn football running game is starting to take shape. After being contained to less than 150 rushing yards by a solid Washington defense, JaTarvious Whitlow and freshman Shaun Shivers went past 100 yards last week against Alabama State. But that’s not the same defense the Tigers will face Saturday against LSU.
  • Nick Brossette is 13th in the nation in rushing, averaging 131.0 yards per game with two touchdowns. He will have Auburn’s full attention.
