Here are five takeaways from Auburn’s 18-13 win over LSU.
Auburn will have to continue to win with defense
Auburn’s offense didn’t get in the end zone, with all 18 points coming on field goals, but it did part of its job: It controlled the ball and the clock, and kept the defense rested. The field goals came at the end of drawn-out drives that gave the defense some time to breathe. The days of Auburn strictly outscoring opponents are over for the foreseeable future. Luckily for the Tigers, the defense is the best it has been in a long time.
