ABOUT AUBURN (6-1, 3-1 SEC): Freshman quarterback Bo Nix was picked off three times in the loss at Florida but tightened things up against Arkansas and threw for three touchdowns without an interception while adding a rushing score. Nix threw two of those TD passes to top target Seth Williams (25 receptions, 458 yards, seven TDs), but also found Anthony Schwartz for a 28-yard score and likes how the two receivers compliment each other. "They open up both sides of the field and you can't double both of them," Nix told reporters of Williams and Schwartz. "They're going to get a one-on-one between the two, so you've just got to find it and hit them."

ABOUT LSU (7-0, 3-0): Burrow leads FBS in points responsible for (188) while ranking second in passing yards (2,484) and passing efficiency (216.2) but is lucky not to have to go against his own team's defensive secondary. Star safety Grant Delpit was named a semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award, given annually to the country's best defensive back, on Monday while fellow safety JaCoby Stevens was tabbed as the SEC's Defensive Player of the Week after eight tackles, a sack and an interception in the win over Mississippi State. "He's great in coverage," Orgeron told reporters of Stevens. "You saw the interception. But pound-for-pound he is the strongest player on our football team. He plays the way the game ought to be played. When you walk off the field, JaCoby is the finest gentleman you've ever seen. When he puts that helmet on, he's very competitive and ferocious. I think he's becoming an excellent football player."
