Auburn's defense is preparing to take on LSU's formidable offense in Baton Rouge. After a close loss to UGA, Auburn aims to turn back the clock and prove their capability to beat any team. The Tigers will need a vastly improved performance to overcome LSU's dominance. The game is reminiscent of Auburn's loss to A&M, where they were only down by a field goal at halftime. Auburn remains in striking distance but must step up their game to secure a victory.
FINAL: No. 22 #LSU beat Auburn 48-18 after scoring on all four drives in the second half. Its defense played one of its best games of the season. Alabama begins to loom after Army next weekend.
515 yards of offense are the most Auburn has allowed in a game against LSU since at least 2000. Considering LSU only surpassed 30 points in one meeting before that, it may be the most for LSU in this series' history.

#LSU answers the Auburn TD with a 5-yard TD run by Diggs for a 41-18 lead with 8:51 left. LSU now with 515 yards total offense, but 11 penalties for 85 yards.

11:35 Q3 | LSU 20, #Auburn 10 Alex McPherson hits from 38 yards out. That was the second #Auburn drive tonight to end in LSU territory. The only other was #Auburn's first half touchdown.
Auburn creeps back within 10 on a 38-yard FG by McPherson. #LSU 20-10, 11:35 3Q. Relatively good job by the defense, namely Harold Perkins. LSU's offense needs to answer.
HALF | No. 22 LSU 20, #Auburn 7 This feels similar to #Auburn's loss to A&M. Tigers were only down a field goal at halftime, and we know how that one ended. They're still in striking distance in Baton Rouge. Somehow. But they'll need a vastly improved performance out of the… https://t.co/aFmKEezM6v https://t.co/TECHNcLzto

A holding penalty short-circuits what might have been an Auburn first down. They run on third and 23 but are well short of the line to make. #LSU ball near midfield with 4:16 left, holding a 20-7 lead.

10:33 Q2 | LSU 20, #Auburn 7 LSU has penalized itself into two field goals tonight. That's a big break for #Auburn.
LSU had no hesitation going for it on fourth-and-inches, but a false start on "the entire offensive line" means settling for a field goal. LSU kicking a field goal is a win. So there's a couple drives in the right direction for Auburn.
Auburn's defense protects the sticks on third-and-10, then an LSU false start means another field goal try that's two wins and two (quick) losses in four drives for Auburn's defense against this LSU offense still a two-score game, and the offense has to keep responding
Auburn scored its first touchdown. It went after Zy Alexander on slants to start the drive, then converted on third-and-3 in the red zone. It's 17-7 early in the second quarter.
Auburn gets back into it with an impressive 75-yard drive capped by a 2-yard TD run by Jarquez Hunter. Makes it a 17-7 #LSU lead, 14:22 2Q.
way too easy for LSU's offense, which goes 75 yards in four plays and 1:39 to start this game Auburn's defense cannot have many more of those kinds of drives tonight
Two plays and 44 yards for this LSU offense. Not a great start for #Auburn, which has Caleb Wooden starting at safety in place of Jaylin Simpson.
Auburn wins the toss and defers. #LSU will receive the opening kickoff.
