LSU 26 Auburn 21

LSU passed its first major test of the season. This was a serious learning game.
A.) We learned that Jarrett Lee needed to get settled in the pocket before he could play to his fullest ability.
B.) The LSU run defense is alot better than the nation gave them credit for.
C.) The pass defense though has some holes. Yes, there were 2 interceptions, but also gave up two huge pass plays that either gave Auburn a touchdown or set them up for one.
D.) This one is just for me. Danny McCray really should become a linebacker. His pass protection is just not good enough for the SEC.
E.) LSU now knows that they can build their season around Jarrett Lee. Andrew Hatch did a decent job, but this ain't Harvard. In the SEC when you have a open receiver it is a touchdown. You can not over thrown people by five yards. Yes, Lee is guilty of this too, but not as much as Hatch.

With the start of the SEC season I will give out awards for each game.
Best Offensive Play: Keiland Williams Half-back pass to Demetrius Byrd for TD.
Best Defensive Play: Rahim Alem sack with 51 seconds to go.
Game Ball: Charles Scott. Anyone who averages 7 yards a carry, against Auburn deserves the game ball and an invite to New York (if he keeps this up).
Brownie Points: Jarrett Lee. After losing all faith in him in the first half, he comes out of the locker room a new man, literally. 0 for 5, INT then he goes 11 of 17 for 2 TDs. Dude, I will bake you a cake.
