The ninth-ranked Tigers (2-1, 0-1 in SEC) lost last week to LSU. The Razorbacks (1-2, 0-0) have lost back-to-back games against Colorado State and North Texas.
Auburn has this week and next week (against Southern Miss) to iron out their issues on both sides of the ball.
Against LSU, the Tigers failed to put together much of a pass rush as LSU used maximum protection most of the game to protect Joe Burrow — and it worked. On offense, Auburn again went through a long stretch where it couldn’t get anything going.
Auburn is favored to win this game by more than four touchdowns, so it should have an opportunity to work on things.
