“He could be re-joining the team very, very soon.”. By no means is the Auburn vs Mississippi State game more important than the Iron Bowl, but consider that until 2013, the Iron Bowl never had major implications about who would represent the SEC West in Atlanta. “It’s the only way I know how to go at it”. We answer some questions over there too, which we’ll post a link to once it’s live. Tailgating at LSU is a science and it’s a religion, and in the fall, it’s nearly better than the game…When we went up there we said, ‘Oh this is going to be interesting. Are you guys in favor of a trip to New York, or would you rather non-SEC contests stayed within driving distance? Thank you coach. This is what we stand for and I thank LSU Athletics. Although the 3-0 start has certainly helped open eyes a little bit.

Prescott is playing his best football of the season. It’s early, but where is he stacking up in terms of all-time great Tigers in your minds right now?
Fournette has proven himself as the premier running back in the country after slashing through Auburn’s seemingly non-existent defense last week. He brought several of his State friends, we had one of our best tailgates ever, and that is saying something. Plus, he’s doing it all alongside a less-than-prolific passing attack. I made the weight some games, and didn’t some games. The running back limped to the sideline after taking a helmet to the knee on his third touchdown against Auburn last Saturday, sending a scare through the Tiger Stadium crowd and fans on social media. However, they will likely be without quarterback Eric Dungey who suffered a head injury in a vicious helmet-to-helmet hit in the win against Central Michigan.
LSU’s defense is fairly straight forward.
LSU quarterback Brandon Harris has thrown just 32 times through two games this season – 14 in the opener at Mississippi State and 18 last week against Auburn. The secondary is pretty loaded. Only LSU and South Carolina average less than Auburn’s 157.7 yards per game. A single game hasn’t been played, so how teams are ultimately ranked in the preseason won’t make that much difference. The Fighting Irish held the Yellow Jackets to 216 yards rushing. It wouldn’t surprise me if he doesn’t take a few shots down the field to LSU’s tall, fast wideouts.
“Coach Miles told me I have to be smarter with my hat placement”, said Jones, the first LSU player to be ejected for targeting.
That defensive line has generated a number of tackles for loss, so that’s something I’m watching for. “He’s also got an offensive line that is extremely talented; they’re big and they are athletic”.
They bring a focused, determined effort.

The Orange finished the game with backup Austin Wilson and walk-on Zack Mahoney, but Saturday’s game will prove whether or not either have enough mettle to run an entire offense.
