AUBURN, Ala. -- Despite the elation Auburn felt after toppling LSU a week ago, there were still some potentially dangerous problems lurking under the surface.Auburn (3-2) had failed to score a touchdown in any of its six trips to the red zone, and head coach Gus Malzhan yearned to give his receivers more vertical routes to try and take the top off the defense.Against Louisiana-Monroe (1-3), both of those boxes were checked off. Auburn dominated the Warhawks Saturday 58-7 to notch its third win of the year and end the season-opening five-game homestand on a high note.Sean White threw for 239 yards and a pair of touchdowns, both of which were 48-yard deep balls on play-action routes. The first went to freshman Kyle Davis, and the second to senior Tony Stevens for his fifth-career scoring catch.We talked about that two weeks ago, that we need to give our guys more chances down the field, Malzahn said. Thats been kind of an emphasis, and we did that today. Hit a couple, one I think was a pass interference, came close on another. But you gotta take chances down the field, its good. I think we had two of our freshmen catch touchdowns, all on deep balls.Kerryon Johnson spearheaded Auburns rushing attack, accounting for 146 of the Tigers 410 yards on the ground. Auburn outgained Louisiana-Monroe in total yards 688-251, the fourth-most in school history.White ended the day going 14 of 17 for 239 yards before giving way to backup John Franklin III midway through the third quarter and Auburn leading 42-7. Franklin scored his first touchdown at Auburn two plays later, racing 80 yards untouched on a read option. He added his first-career scoring pass a drive later, dropping a perfectly thrown 39-yard pass to freshman Nate Craig-Myers in the end zone.Any touchdown is a pretty touchdown to me, Franklin said. It was definitely a nice pass to Nate (Craig-Myers). He got open and made it easier for me to drop it in. I was just thinking, `Dont miss this touchdown. Its too easy right now.The Warhawks only score came as time expired in the first half, a 2-yard pass to Marcus Green that got Louisiana-Monroe within 28-7.I just told them we have to bounce back, said Louisiana-Monroe head coach Matt Viator. We win and lose as a team. They beat all of us -- players and coaches, everybody. They outplayed us and outcoached us, so thats just the way it is. We all have to learn from it and get better.THE TAKEAWAYAUBURN: The red zone issues that plagued Auburn against LSU were nearly nonexistent. The Tigers scored touchdowns on four out of the five trips inside the 20, and the only trip they didnt score on came from the backups with less than a minute remaining.LOUISIANA-MONROE: The Warhawks dropped their third consecutive game, but will get a chance to right themselves against Idaho on a more level playing field.FIRST-DOWN FRENZYAuburns 36 first downs are the most since 2002 when the Tigers picked up 37 against Western Carolina, and three short of the school record.UP NEXTAUBURN: Travels to Starkville to play Mississippi State next Saturday.LOUISIANA-MONROE: Returns home to host Idaho next Saturday.

SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Tyre management is likely to be the key to success at the Belgian Grand Prix after teams and drivers have struggled to cope with the unusually high tyre pressures prescribed by Pirelli this weekend.Pirelli prescribes the tyre pressures ahead of each grand prix weekend, and since two tyre failures at the Belgian Grand Prix last year, those numbers have been enforced by the FIA to ensure tyres are not pushed beyond their limit. This weekend the pressures are set at 23.5 PSI at the front and 22 PSI at the rear, but several drivers have complained they are too high, resulting in overheating, blistering and high levels of performance degradation.The pressures are unbelievably high, McLaren driver Jenson Button said. Its amazing what we have to do to get these tyres in the working window. If you push on your outlap they are done by Turn 3 with blistering and overheating. What we have to do is crazy and Ive never had to do this before in my F1 career.Its the pressures, obviously its not helped by the temperatures, but we go to hot countries and I think Pirelli know that. Its a shame we are so high with the pressures because we are in a position at the moment where you cant push the car, you are just rolling around the whole time with the tyre.Pirelli motorsport boss Paul Hembery said the unusually high temperatures at Spa-Francorchamps this weekend -- which have been around 32-35C, but were slightly cooler on race day morning -- are also contributing to the high degradation levels.The high track temperatures have increased the wear and degradation rates on a circuit that is already very demanding on tyres, he said. Were expecting two or three pit stops per car, depending on degradation rates.But Williams head of vehicle performance, Rob Smedley, said the pressures are the key contributing factor to degradation, regardless of temperatures.If theres any talk about the tyres there will be certain quarters that come here and defend it because its unnaturally hot, but we shhouldnt hide behind the fact that running 24 PSI round here gives us massive degradation, he said.dddddddddddd The modulus [tyre compound choices] is slightly on the more aggressive side, but the pressures are the principle reasons why we are having high degradation. Its a simple fact and we shouldnt hide behind anything that might help out certain quarters.We were upwards of trying to bleed off 30 seconds on the outlap [during qualifying], which is not normal at all. But with the very high starting pressures that we are obliged to run, it means that on track, even on one timed lap, we are still well above 22 PSI and on the longer runs, without management, they can get up to 24 or 25, as we saw in Firday practice.Its an area of the tyre we dont usually explore. For us we are desperate to try and get the pressures down because there is more performance and we understand the tyres more at those pressures, so we can act accordingly. Its a problem for all of us.Lewis Hamilton has already made clear that he expects to struggle with the tyres as he comes through the field from 21st on the grid, with the challenge of following in another cars dirty air making tyre management all the more difficult. Two or three stop strategies have been predicted by Pirelli, but Hamilton could have an ace up his sleeve after saving three sets of brand new soft tyres for the race -- a compound designed to work in high temperatures, unlike the super-soft and mediums.Meanwhile, team-mate Nico Rosberg will start from pole position on the soft tyres after using that compound to set his fastest time in Q2 and has two sets of new medium compound tyres available for the race, as well as one fresh set of softs. The two Ferraris and Daniel Ricciardo will also start the race on softs, but the rest of the top ten must use the super-soft at the start, which is only expected to last a handful of laps. ' ' '
