Call Saturday's high-profile showdown between the No. 18 Auburn Tigers and No. 13 LSU Tigers a tale of two programs.
LSU took care of business on the road against then-No. 25 Mississippi State, 21-19, behind the wheels of Leonard Fournette, who ran for 159 yards and a trio of scores.
Auburn, on the other hand, looked shaky in a season opener against Louisville, just hanging on for a 31-24 win. Speaking of just hanging on, Auburn then needed overtime in a 27-20 escape against Jacksonville State to avoid one of the biggest upsets in the sport's history.
