Tiger Defense Adjusts to Slow Auburn at Key Spots
Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports LSU quarterback Joe Burrow said in his post game press conference that this LSU team is about the balance between the offense and defense. When one phase isn’t playing to its potential, the other picks them up.
That was the story of the Tigers during their 23-20 win over Auburn Saturday afternoon, when the offense scored almost 30 points below its season average and the defense made key adjustments throughout the game in order to come up with big red zone stops.
“(Big plays) can be very detrimental to what you’re doing, but it’s all about putting that play behind us,” said LSU linebacker Jacob Phillips. “Everybody is working hard, trying to do their job.”
