AUBURN – The Auburn football team hosts LSU in week five in the final game of this five-game home stand to start the season. With a win, despite the statistics and appearances, Auburn would move to 4-1 on the season, and 2-0 in league play.

Wouldn’t that be something, considering the negativity that’s surrounded this program since the 41-12 loss to Penn State?

We’ll take you from pregame all the way until the clock strikes quadruple zeroes in what will be another important game for the Tigers with new coordinators, rotating quarterbacks, and program looking for positive momentum before hitting the road for two straight weeks.
