Auburn at LSU: live stream: Start time, TV channel and how to watch online

Auburn at LSU is one of the top early clashes of the 2015 SEC football season. After scares last week, both Tigers teams enter the game with much to prove.

The No. 18 Auburn Tigers, one of the early favorites to win the SEC West and the SEC championship, started slow and needed a touchdown in the final minute to force overtime last week at home against FCS Jacksonville State. The Tigers escaped with a 27-20 victory, and subsequently fell 12 spots in the AP Top 25.

No. 13 LSU took the opposite track to a similar close win last week against Mississippi State in Starkville. The Fighting Tigers stormed out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter and led 21-3 in the third before barely holding on for a 21-19 victory, which wasn’t decided until the Bulldogs missed a 52-yard field goal attempt on the final play of the game.

Both teams survived upset scares, and both still have much to prove heading into this week’s showdown in Baton Rouge.

For Auburn, the biggest question mark is quarterback Jeremy Johnson, who has five interceptions through the first two games of the season. A preseason Heisman Trophy candidate, Johnson has often looked uncomfortable making the proper reads and most of his five picks have been thrown directly to defenders.

Johnson’s inconsistency has been a major reason why the Tigers, who averaged 37.5 points and 493 yards of offense per game across head coach Gus Malzahn’s first two seasons, have scored just 29 points per contest and totaled 364 yards on average through two games this year.

LSU’s Heisman Trophy candidate, running back Leonard Fournette, got off to a great start last week. The sophomore ran for 159 yards and scored all three Tigers’ TDs, and will surely be counted on heavily again in Week 3.
