Auburn Ready For Season Opener

    AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - The Auburn Tigers are trying to avoid
becoming another Louisiana-Monroe upset victim in the state.
    The Warhawks visit the 10th-ranked Tigers Saturday night in the
season opener for both teams. Their last trip to the state ended
with an upset of the Alabama Crimson Tide in 2007.
    Auburn will trot out both Kodi Burns or Chris Todd at
quarterback to operate the new spread offense. Which one starts is
a mystery.
    The Warhawks are 26-point underdogs. They’re also 0-15 alltime
against ranked teams and have won only three of the previous 33
games against Southeastern Conference teams.
