Same can be said for LSU. They non-called Williams on his PI late in the game yet gave LSU two first down for the same thing they had just committed.

We had more plays because we got more first downs, and oh by the way we were 2-2 on fourth downs against your defense in the fourth quarter!

If LSU was able to run 20 more plays, how exactly did the Auburn defense "shut LSU down"? Seems to me that shutting them down would be getting the opposing offense off the field and therefore limiting their number of plays.

So LSU’s offense did a good job of controlling the game by keeping Auburn’s offense off the field? That’s great

Agreed. We would have scored much faster if Auburn wasn’t constantly grabbing our receivers.

"As long as you ignore every stat, Auburn was clearly better."

Nice argument.

If Auburn shut down our offense, what did LSU do to Auburn's offense, since they have a lot less total yards than us?

You're an idiot.

What a hilarious bullshite prognostication to throw out considering that we've actually won 7 out of the last 10.

The better team won, junior. Deal with it.

How can this be shutting down the LSU offense?

LSU dominated the time of possession LSU 35:04 Auburn 25:56

Turnovers LSU had 0 Auburn had 2

Score LSU 22 Auburn 21

First downs LSU 21 Auburn 19

I am totally confused what part of this game Auburn beat LSU in

Auburn flat-out didn't make the plays when it mattered most, and it could've put the game away....and it certainly didn't help that a handful of called plays from the sidelines were a bit head-scratching, too. I think both the coaches AND players should take the blame for this one. Conversely, LSU DID make the plays when it mattered most.

That said, I watched this game with some Auburn and LSU fans, and the LSU fans already had their "the refs jobbed us" speech prepared as early as the 3rd quarter, so the LSU hypocrites posting here should give it a rest.

And technically LSU had a turnover, the turnover on downs on the fake punt attempt, for whatever reason they've never counted turnover on downs as a 'turnover' even though the result is basically the same as a lost fumble or INT.



If we're counting ToD as turnovers, Auburn had at 3 total counting the interceptions.

Letting a team that's 15/35 passing beat you is nothing to toot your own horn over. LSU beat you in most aspects of the game, with a statistically atrocious passing game.

You're right in implying that this game says more about AU than LSU, but it ain't pretty.

Auburn 9 for 111
LSU 9 for 91

Looks like Auburn outgained LSU in yards per penalty.

250 yards on those 15 completions.

Completion percentage is a misleading stat from this game.

LSU didn't have a bunch of drives where they got a few first downs and then punted. It was either 3-and-out or resulted in points for the most part.

Additionally, with the turnovers and overall stout defense, LSU had short fields to work with at several points throughout the game and made the most of all but one that I recall.

A touchdown is worth 6 points whether it comes on an 80 yard drive or a 40 yard drive. The fact that LSU has capitalized on short fields in every game this year suggests that this is happening by design (Aranda defense is arguably the best in the country).

The 20 to 50 yard drives LSU has scored on this year aren't as impressive as the fact that LSU has outscored the opponent in every game. Conversely, if the other team gets it at their 25 after an LSU TD coming off a 35 yard drive and proceed to drive 30 yards down the field before getting into 4th and long, they're likely punting despite only gaining 5 yards less on each team's respective possessions.

Watching all 3 games, LSU totally outclassed 2 opponents including a top-10 team and was better than another top-10 team on the road. It's just not reflected in the box scores.

7.1 yards per pass attempt with no picks and just 1 sack.

That's pretty good on the road in the SEC!

LSU’s two TD’s were on a 35 yard drive and a 71 yard play. LSU going up 7-0 really set the tone for them to play ball control and dominate time of possession. Stidham with the 2 turnovers was huge. AU defense wasn’t the problem.



LSU converted 41% on 3rd and 4th downs. AU converted the same percentage. The difference is that LSU had 9 3rd and 4th down conversions to AU's 4. That is why LSU had a TOP advantage. We were able to move the chains more than AU.
