What did Auburn safety Zion Puckett have to say ahead of the LSU game?

The Auburn Tigers travel to Baton Rouge, La. this weekend for a matchup with the No. 22 LSU Tigers at Tiger Stadium.

LSU has a reputation as being one of the toughest places to play in all of college football. Senior safety Zion Puckett previewed the contest and spoke about the preparation that has and will go into it.

Auburn learned a lot against Georgia. Puckett talked about which lessons stuck out the most.

"We're capable of beating anybody in the country," Puckett said. "That's something we're going to stand on the rest of the year. Just keep working each and every day."

LSU has one of the best quarterbacks in the country in Jayden Daniels. Puckett talked about the challenge he poses and how playing against Robby Ashford in practice has helped prepare the defense.

"I think that helps when you have somebody like Robby on your team," Puckett said. "Just being able to face different quarterbacks and scheme for different players."

With the injury bug looming around the team, a lot of players have had to step up. Puckett mentioned a guy who he has been pleased with.

"Always Kayin Lee," Puckett said. "He's been playing hard since he got here."

Getting pressure on the quarterback will be crucial for Auburn to be successful this week. Puckett elaborated on that.

"I think that would do a lot to contain the quarterback," Puckett said. "With a dual-threat quarterback, we'll try to figure out ways to confuse him."

Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. CT. on Saturday and ESPN will carry the broadcast.
