Auburn had another poor display on the road as it lost at Tiger Stadium on Saturday night.
Published: Oct. 15, 2023, 6:10 a.m.Saturday night in Death Valley was not kind to Auburn as it lost 48-18 to No. 22 LSU. It was another dismal display on the road and another incomplete showing in SEC play.
Auburn looked like its typical self in the first half with completely ineffective passing and poor play on third downs. Auburn went 3-12 on third downs in this game. It averaged fewer than 5 yards per game and roughly half of LSU’s yards per play total.
It came against possibly the worst defense statistically Auburn has played all year. But Auburn’s bad offense may have given the LSU defense something to build on. But that lack of effort and energy started right from the start of the game. Auburn knew it couldn’t stop LSU, it could only slow down, but the defense was just being gashed for a big gain every time you could look up. At one point in the second quarter, LSU was legitimately on pace for 900 total yards in the game and instead finished the “lowly” total of 563 yards.of yards. And Auburn had no resistance or hardly any fight. Auburn also allowed 48 points.
Running backs Brian Battie and Jarquez Hunter combined to return four kicks and average 23 yards per return. Auburn didn’t return LSU’s one and only punt of the game.Alex McPherson made his one-field goal.Auburn had two weeks to prepare for this game. It had two weeks to study the film, two weeks to fix all the things Freeze had talked about going into the bye week and make tweaks to find solutions to key problems.
Losing to LSU is not the issue. Auburn was expected to lose the game and doing so by such a margin was certainly not the goal, but the margin of the loss feels less notable than the recurrence of issues that had been discussed and Auburn had time to fix. All the while doing this against a defense that had been ranked in the bottom 10 nationally for total defense.The team looked unprepared. The first half play of the offense appeared stubborn. This was a failure.
