Here is how to watch the exciting matchup as LSU looks for its first road win of the season.

What to Know About the Tigers

Auburn has been one of the surprises in college football this season, and despite concerns about the offensive line, it has found major success with quarterback Byrum Brown, who transferred with Golesh after Golesh took the position.

The defense has been one of the better ones in the country, ranking No. 39 in points allowed and No. 33 in yards per play. They have proven they can win big games as well, having just taken down the then-No. 1-ranked Georgia Bulldogs.
