| 0:00.0 | Welcome and Tiger fans. It is another week of play-by-play presented by our friends at the Abbot, |
| 0:14.9 | along with our producer Harrison Valentine, illustrious Kent Lowe. I'm Chris Blair, and we are |
| 0:19.8 | happy to welcome you in after another busy week of LSU athletics and another week upcoming. |
| 0:26.0 | And Kent, let's start with LSU football on Sunday moving up the polls a little bit. |
| 0:32.0 | Number 19, they cracked inside the top 20 again after just sheer domination on Saturday. You know, going into that |
| 0:38.9 | matchup on paper, LSU looked like the favorite, obviously, but it's LSU and Auburn, so you kind of |
| 0:44.9 | some of that you got to throw out of the window. But one of the more dominant performances by LSU, |
| 0:50.5 | I mean, I think 2011 they hammered Auburn pretty good. 2014 or 15, I think they got them |
| 0:56.6 | pretty good. Auburn got LSU pretty good in 2020 in that strange year, but it was really |
| 1:02.5 | no doubt on Saturday. LSU got off to a quick start and never looked back. 48, 18, they beat |
| 1:08.1 | Auburn. Yeah, I think you see the progression first of all |

| 1:20.0 | has been outstanding and defensively you saw some changes you saw some wrinkles, and you saw them have more success. |
| 1:31.3 | And I feel like that their confidence is growing as we head into a non-conference game and then down the schedule of November games. |
| 1:40.3 | You know, it's interesting because I heard Coach Kelly last week before the Missouri game give a lot of credit to Pete Jenkins. And again, Coach Jenkins is an analyst. He's |
| 1:49.5 | not an on-the-field coach. But, you know, you think to yourself, okay, how much impact, you know, |
| 1:55.0 | I know he can have an impact, but how much impacts he's going to have in three days of practice? |
| 1:58.7 | Well, they made some plays against Missouri. |
| 2:01.6 | Okay, so another week of practice. |
| 2:03.6 | And we saw that defensive front for LSU play like we've all hoped and thought they could this season. |
| 2:10.6 | And that was they dominated the line of scrimmage. |
| 2:13.6 | You know, the first two possessions for Auburn, they had negative three yards on offense. |
