Sure. They said:
LSU stuns No. 10 Auburn, riding clutch defense to 27-23 win (second half shut out)

Followed the link to look at the recap from that game:

D.J. Chark returned a punt 75 yards for a touchdown, Connor Culp kicked field goals of 42 and 36 yards inside the final three minutes, and LSU erased a 20-point deficit on its way to a 27-23 victory over No. 10 Auburn on Saturday.

Russell Gage made a diving 14-yard touchdown reception and had a 70-yard run that set up another TD in the first half, when LSU closed to 23-14 to set up a tense finish.

Arden Key's sack of Jarrett Stidham with 2 seconds left squelched Auburn's last hope of an improbable comeback, sending the volume in Tiger Stadium about as high as it has been this season despite an unusual number of empty seats visible for a competitive SEC game.

After LSU quarterback Danny Etling kneeled to end it, LSU players streamed wildly onto the field and then ran toward the corner of the end zone closest to their locker room to acknowledge the school's frenzied student section.

Derrius Guice rushed for 71 hard yards for LSU, including a crucial third-down conversion in which he ran through a tackler at the first-down marker, setting up the go-ahead field goal.

Etling finished 13 of 24 for 206 yards and one TD. Chark had 150 yards receiving on five catches. Stephen Sullivan scored LSU's opening TD on a fourth-down end around from a yard out.

Man, I'm sure going to hate AU having to face all those guys again. With them on your team, y'all are pretty much unbeatable.

Especially Connor Culp, his clutch kick to put y'all ahead was the real difference in the game, and almost certainly saved Orgeron's job. Must be comforting to know he's gonna be trotting onto the field in those high-pressure situations this year. Hope your fans are still sending him encouragement via Twitter like last year, I'm sure that did wonders for his confidence.
