LSU prepping for Auburn

The LSU Fighting Tigers face a stiff challenge Saturday hosting Auburn in the SEC opener for
both clubs, which are unblemished at 3-0, setting up a classic battle in the Western
Division.
Saturday's game, which is a sellout, will be broadcast on ESPN.
LSU has outscored their first three opponents 138-57. The Tigers, which have won four straight and 26 of their last 27 home games, brings the nation's longest current September winning streak into the Auburn contest at 28 straight. LSU's last
September loss came at Auburn in 2006.
LSU won last year's contest 12-10 at Auburn and leads the series 26-20-1.
LSU's offense, directed by the consistency of Zach Mettenberger, is firing on all cylinders.
Mettenberger seems to be making all of the required throws and he is making solid decisions
to this point, guiding the Tigers' offense in almost flawless fashion.
Mettenberger is on a record-breaking pace three weeks into the season. His nine passing
touchdowns in three games are the most by a quarterback in the first three games in LSU
history.  Former Tiger QB Matt Mauck tossed eight touchdowns in the first three games during
the 2003 national championship season. 
Now the real tests are at hand as LSU steps up in class going against the likes of the Auburn
Tigers, who slipped past the Mississippi State Bulldogs 24-20 to remain unbeaten.
