Auburn Vs. LSU: ‘Dissecting Gary’s Crowtons’

SB Nation’s And The Valley Shook takes stock of LSU’s weapons on offense:

Much of the talk on LSU message boards swirls around the issue of how will the vaunted LSU defense handle the super-talent, athletic marvel, Cameron Newton and the powerhouse Auburn offense. Rightfully so. It’s the old irresistible force vs. immovable object thing, I suppose. All eyes and media attention will certainly be turned to this issue, but truthfully, I don’t think that will be what decides the game. I trust that our defense will be up to the task. Auburn is the best offensive team we have faced all season long. We hold our opponents to 126.14 yards under their average, per game. We hold them to 12.5 points under their average, per game. In my estimation, it’s easier to stop scoring than it is to score. I’ve seen many high-powered offenses meet their demise once coming up against a great defense. I’ve rarely seen a great defense get roasted.
