The great offense vs. defense debate

The great offense vs. defense debate

As difficult as it is to see LSU holding Auburn’s high-powered attack under 20 points in this game, it’s equally difficult to see Auburn lighting it up for 35-plus points against LSU’s defense.
The beauty of this game is that it’s probably going to come down to which team can best take advantage of what are glaring weaknesses on both sides.
In other words, LSU hasn’t been able to throw the ball, and Auburn hasn’t been able to stop anybody from throwing it.
Auburn is 11th in the SEC in pass defense and has given up a league-high 13 touchdown passes.
LSU is last in the SEC in pass offense and has only thrown four touchdown passes to go along with eight interceptions.
