The Tigers face their first true road test of the season on Saturday when it heads to eastern Alabama to take on Auburn. Both teams sit at 3-1 on the season entering the contest, though AU was blown out at home by Penn State and narrowly survived against Missouri last weekend.
This is a big game for coach Brian Kelly, whose team is favored and is looking to begin SEC play at 2-0 before welcoming a top-10 team to town in Tennessee. LSU is also looking for its first win over Auburn since 2019.
This game is always intriguing, no matter the state of the teams entering it. This year’s contest should prove to be no exception. Here’s everything you need to know to watch it.

In addition to Major Burns, who is slated to miss 3-6 games with an injury, LSU will be without Armoni Goodwin, who started the first four games at running back. Kelly called Goodwin’s hamstring injury sustained last week “substantial.” Left guard Garrett Dellinger is also out after undergoing hand surgery, but his absence could be brief.
The Tigers do get safety Joe Foucha back from suspension, which should help with Burns out.
On the Auburn side, the biggest injury situation surrounds quarterback TJ Finley, who missed last week’s game and will be out on Saturday too. Robby Ashford will play in his place. AU also lost center Tate Johnson for the season this week after he underwent elbow surgery this week.
