Saturday night marks another chapter in one of college football’s most historic rivalries. The LSU Tigers travel to The Plains to take on Auburn in a game that has quite a bit riding on it. For LSU, Les Miles and the #18 Tigers will look to prove that early-season struggles are behind them and the team is ready to move forward and contend for a conference title. Meanwhile, for Auburn, Gus Malzahn’s 1-2 Tigers desperately need a win to get back on track and prevent another disappointing season.
One team is looking to take steps towards contending for a title, and the other is just trying to put up an acceptable season, but both coaches need this game.
