The disappointment of Auburn losing to LSU for the 10th straight time in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was magnified Saturday by the incredible performance of Kevin Steele’s defense.

Steele had a brilliant game plan and his players executed it with precision and passion. To put it in perspective, LSU ran only 48 plays against the Florida defense a couple of weeks ago, which most people think is pretty good, and scored 42 points. LSU ran over 90 plays, including penalties, against the Auburn defense and managed to score only 23 points.
