Photo: LSU seeking revenge at Auburn; posts '41-7' sign at practice
LSU handedly beat Auburn 45-21 in Baton Rouge last season.
If any team is out for revenge, one would think it would be Gus Malzahn’s squad.
Last year’s victory, however, isn’t stopping LSU coaches from trying to get the Bayou Bengals into the revenge mindset. Reporters noticed signs with 41-7, the final score of Auburn’s 2014 win over LSU, taped up in the practice facility Monday afternoon.

Les Miles’ squad took quite a thumping on the Plains that year, as Auburn recorded 566 yards of offense, the most in series history.
The showdown between the two Tigers teams is set for 5 p.m. CT Saturday on ESPN.
I guess that when you get beat that bad, it takes consecutive victories to make up for it.
I honestly have no idea what to expect! From either set of Tigers!
Agree especially with Les. The dude has yet to coach a shutout game.
’07 LSU shutout State(45-0) and ’06 LSU shutout Kentucky(49-0). Les has been there since ’05. There are also a few others for none SEC teams as well.
Holy crap. I must of forgot that auburn’s 8-4 2014 team beat LSU so badly. How did that happen? Also, why did y’all play us so close but laid down to the barners? Go beat the reading comprehension (like auburn players know how to read) out ‘m Saturday, Bayou Bengals!
It was Brandon Harris’s first start lol. Harris came in as a true freshman down a few scores against Miss St, and started slinging the ball like a mad man… he threw for like a buck 50 on 5 or 6 passes…. 2 touchdowns in 30 seconds haha. after Jennings was terrible vs New Mexico St the next week, something had to give. So we thought, heck, he’s better than Anthony Jennings and started him for the first time the next week on the road. oops. He literally didn’t know the play most of the time… couple of delay of games/timeouts, looking at the sideline in confusion…. went 3/14. Eventually got pulled. And Dak and Nick Marshall absolutely destroyed a young defense. They probably both went for a least 300 total. maybe more. at any rate, the defense got much better as the year went on. The offense never had a shot… Dural was the leading receiver as a sophomore heading into that season with 7 career catches haha…. freshman LF7, freshman Harris, freshman Dupre. Not much has changed though.
oh crap. This sounds familiar…..
I see this game as a tiger victory by 17 points. LSU 34 Auburn 17, LSU will score 17 each half. Defense will hold Auburn to 3 points in 2nd half. Aranda defense is over the hump learning his system. They will end the season as a top 10 defense.
