LSU defense gives them the edge over Auburn

The Tigers have more speed, a better front seven and a secondary that is capable of being left on an island to allow an extra safety to get into the mix against Newton running the football.

On the opposite side of that coin I think we’re starting to see the erosion of the Auburn defense, as we saw a season ago, due to an utter lack of depth. This team has not fixed their holes and while they looked adequate in the early going, we have seen them give up 77 total points to Kentucky and an Arkansas team lead by their back up quarterback, not superstar Ryan Mallett.
