Charles Scott keeps leaving battered tacklers in his wake and LSU's running game looks as powerful as ever. If the seventh-ranked Tigers don't find a passing game to match, they may not have it so easy when they begin Southeastern Conference play at Auburn next weekend, writes Brett Martel of Rivals.com.
Figuring out some of the problems with the Tigers' offense might not be too difficult. They had 12 penalties in the game, many of them holding calls and false starts. They have lost six fumbles in the last two games.
Auburn also ranks 102nd nationally in red zone offense, scoring only 69 percent of the time when driving inside the opponents' 20.
The perfect record helps the players keep the faith in the offense.
"People are doubting it now, and saying that it's not working and it's not going to work," tight end Tommy Trott said. "But we really are so close.
"When we start moving the ball, we shoot ourselves in the foot. Once we take care of those silly penalties like holding ... Things will change when we get rid of that. The scoreboard will start to light up a little bit more."
