Stumble It!The Tigers opened with special teams work before conducting individual and group drills. Much of the practice was spent working against the scout teams to prepare for LSU.
Head coach Tommy Tuberville addressed the media at his weekly press conference Tuesday afternoon, and said that the Tigers are looking forward to Saturday’s contest against LSU.
“We have a hard game this week,” said Tuberville. “It is a huge game and we get ready for this game year round. It is a game we have been looking forward to since last year, and we understand that we came up a little short. But it will be a hard-fought game between two teams that understand each other, and two teams that have been some of the better ones in this conference for a while.”
Saturday’s game will mark the seventh straight year that at least one of the teams in the Auburn-LSU game was ranked in the top 10 entering the game, and it is the second time during that stretch that both teams have been nationally ranked. No. 3 Auburn beat No. 6 LSU in 2006, 7-3.
The home team has won the last eight games in the series since an Auburn win at Baton Rouge in 1999. But each of the last four games have been decided by six points or less.
Auburn enters the game with a 3-0 record, including a 1-0 mark in the Southeastern Conference, while LSU is 2-0 and will be playing in its SEC opener.
Saturday’s game will kick off at 6:45 p.m. CT and will be nationally televised by ESPN.
