Did the SEC’s move to a nine-game conference schedule backfire? We share what we’re hearing about Greg Sankey admitting he messed up, why it may have pushed the SEC toward playoff expansion, and why three-loss SEC teams could be left out while the Big 12 gets multiple bids. We also cover Louisiana AG Liz Murrill firing back at Sankey over the SEC’s lawsuit against LSU, Will Wade getting his LSU basketball players cleared, Xavier Atkins leaving Auburn, and Kansas adding a former pro while LSU gets scrutinized.
Then it’s the LSU vs Auburn deep dive. Is time of possession LSU’s secret weapon against an Auburn team that ranks near the bottom of the country? We break down why Auburn struggles to tackle in space, how LSU should attack the boundary and use motion against their communication issues, why DJ Durkin will send pressure at LSU’s interior offensive line, and why turnovers could decide the game. On defense, we lay out the plan to stop Byrum Brown: take away the run, play man coverage and make Auburn beat you through the air. Plus, why Sam Leavitt could throw for 300 yards and three touchdowns, and an update on Trey’Dez Green’s return.
