Looking for better road starts: Bruce Pearl, No. 16 Auburn start two-game road stretch at LSU

Bruce Pearl couldn't have asked for a much better start to SEC play from his team. The 16th-ranked Tigers are 4-1 in SEC play, only dropping a road game at Georgia (who by the way, is sitting at 3-1 in SEC play), and sport a Quad I win over Arkansas. Next up: road games at LSU and South Carolina. The Tigers will travel to Baton Rouge, La. on Tuesday evening, play on Wednesday night, travel back to Auburn that night, practice at home on Thursday and Friday before departing again for Columbia, S.C. on Friday afternoon for their Saturday game. Auburn has been ranked 30 straight weeks, inching closer to the school record of being ranked 33 straight times, which happened from Dec. 8, 1998 to March 14, 2000 in the Coaches Poll. Pearl met the media on Tuesday afternoon to talk about Auburn's test against a hungry, and likely upset LSU squad.
