LSU emerged victorious over Auburn in a NCAA football game, leading 20-7 at halftime. LSU's offense, echoing their successful 2019 season, was a key factor in their win. Auburn's defense, though within striking distance, needs to step up their game for a turnaround. The match was an important recruiting weekend for LSU, with several 5-star prospects visiting Tiger Stadium. This win solidifies LSU's position in the NCAA rankings and highlights their sustained success under coach Brian Kelly. The season outcomes for Alabama and Florida are also being closely watched by NCAA followers.
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
Halftime: #LSU leads Auburn, 20-7. Couple mistakes — two false starts in the red zone, the Kyren Lacy drop and Jayden Daniels’ interception — kept Auburn within two scores. LSU forced six punts. Paris Shand and Mekhi Wingo standing out.
once again: LSU's defense is talented enough to hold Auburn's rushing attack back if they don't have to commit much manpower to the passing game
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.
- miss on a 1-on-1 outside shot - loss of 2 on a run on second-and-10 - false start, again - holding takes away a scramble conversion on third-and-17 - draw on third-and-23 outside of one drive, Auburn has given a struggling LSU defense everything it needs to succeed tonight
Some good work from both Nehemiah Pritchett and Kayin Lee on that drive. Pritchett clamps Malik Nabers to force a third down and then Lee breaks up what looked like a Kyren Lacy catch. LSU's forced to punt and now it's #Auburn ball at its own 20.
LSU has stopped Auburn on three of its four drives. That's right ... LSU has a defense.
Auburn gets a first down but #LSU then gets a stop at the Auburn 42. Punt!
10:21 Q2 | LSU 20, #Auburn 7 LSU has penalized itself into two field goals tonight, leaving points on the board and giving #Auburn a big break.
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 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.
