Last week's predictions were 6-2 and overall they are 36-6. After a tough victory on the road at Kansas State, Auburn returns home to face LA Tech at 3 p.m. CT on the SEC Network.

LA Tech at Auburn

Auburn leads the all-time series with LA Tech 11-0-1 with the last meeting in 2009 in Auburn. The home team won 37-13.

LA Tech is 2-2 on the season after losing last Saturday 30-27 to Northwestern State. The other loss came on the road at Oklahoma 48-16 on Aug. 30.

The Tigers struggled some on the road but came away with a 20-14 victory at Kansas State to improve to 3-0. While Auburn's offense looked out of sync most of the night, the defense kept KSU's offense in check by allowing just 40 rushing yards.

After giving up a lot of yards on the ground in the first half against Arkansas, the Tigers have surrendered just 107 rushing yards in the last 10 quarters of play.

The defense also sacked KSU's quarterback Jake Waters three times and came up with three turnovers, including one that resulted in six points.

While Auburn's offense looked unstoppable in the first two games of the season, the unit never got into a rhythm last Thursday night, especially the running game. The offense gained 128 yards on the ground, the second-lowest output of the Malzahn era. Cameron Artis-Payne had 63 yards on 22 carries while Corey Grant added 27 yards on six carries.

Those numbers are concerning with the grind of SEC games remaining on the schedule starting with LSU next weekend. Hopefully the ground game can correct the problems this weekend against non-conference opponent LA Tech.
