Patrick Miller to start against LSU at right tackle for Auburn; Mincy at cornerback

Posted: Updated:

By Ben Culpepper - email

Auburn continues to play musical chairs in its defensive secondary. Jonathan Mincy found a seat this week.

The sophomore defensive back will get the nod at cornerback over the struggling junior Chris Davis. Mincy recorded seven tackles last week against Louisiana-Monroe and 10 on the year.

True Freshman Patrick Miller will take over the right tackle spot previously manned by another true freshman -- Avery Young. Miller will have his hands full tonight with LSU's two junior All-American defensive ends Barkevious Mingo and Sam Montgomery.
