Auburn: Halftime Thoughts
Here are just a few general observations that I've seen from the first half of play, as LSU leads Auburn 3-0 at halftime.
This game has definitely belonged to the two defensive units, as the defensive front fours from both Tiger squads are dominating the lines, allowing only 153 yards of total offense combined in the first half.
The momentum is squarely behind the boys from Baton Rouge right now. They had a great drive to end the half, as they capatilized on Auburn mistakes, while making good runs and short passes to set up Cole David's 42-yard field goal to end the half. A great defensive half for LSU, as Glenn Dorsey has created mass havoc for the Auburn offense.
Auburn has got to focus on playing one half of football, instead of lamenting over missed opportunities. They had an eight minute, 30 second drive that was championship-caliber quality. The Tigers mixed it up and totally had LSU reeling as they marched down the field. However, missing a 26-yard field goal is not the way to finish off a great drive. For Auburn, their goal has to be finishing the job that they started. It's hard to give up points against a team like LSU and come away winners.
There's more to come from Auburn as we head to the second half, with LSU leading 3-0.
