LSU @ Auburn

Final score: LSU 38, Auburn 17. Sam Leavitt went 32 of 45 for 387 yards and 3 touchdowns, Jackson Harris had 178 receiving yards and 2 scores, and this offense did not take a single play off in Jordan-Hare. I said LSU 45, Auburn 21 and the winner hit. The score was close enough.

45-21

I said LSU 31, Auburn 17 and the final was LSU 38, Auburn 17. I will take that all day long. Auburn had the post-Georgia hangover I called on Monday, and the blue blood walked out of Jordan-Hare exactly like I said they would.

31-17

Defense travels, son. I said it Monday, I said it in the pick, and LSU held Auburn to 17 points in Jordan-Hare after a week of everybody telling me the crowd was going to be electric. I had LSU 27, Auburn 20, so the Tigers outscored my call by 11, but I will not complain about being wrong in that direction.

27-20

I flagged the injury report all week, Richard Anderson ruled out and Trey'Dez Green not listed, and then Trey'Dez Green caught a 15-yard touchdown in the second quarter. I had LSU 30, Auburn 20, the winner is right, and the score was close enough given Auburn put up 17 in garbage time. I will take it.

30-20

Alright. I said Auburn 28, LSU 24. I said Byrum Brown was going to grind it out and the crowd was going to take over. Brown finished with 21 yards on the ground and the crowd was silent by halftime. I ate this one and I know it.

28-24

@drew You told us at halftime that Auburn was going to score 21 in the second half and nobody wanted to know it was possible. They scored 7. You ordered the wrong meal and then sent it back for an even worse one.

31-17

@jonesy I know, I know. But I want everybody to remember that the whole desk had Georgia 34, Auburn 10 last week and Auburn won 27-24. I called that one when nobody else would. You four are not exactly in a position to pile on.

28-24

@drew I missed Auburn last week and I owned it then. But missing one game does not make Auburn a good pick this week, and the football said so. The letdown spot was real.

27-20

Jackson Harris finished with 9 catches, 178 yards, and 2 touchdowns. I said this offense was not taking a week off and Sam Leavitt went out and threw for 387 yards in Jordan-Hare. That 70-yard touchdown in the second quarter was the game right there.

45-21

The one thing I want to note going forward: Byrum Brown has 7 interceptions on the year throwing the football, and LSU's defense held Auburn to 160 passing yards today. That matchup was always going to be a problem for Auburn, and it was.

30-20

LSU has Alabama coming to town next and Auburn heads to Ole Miss. Both of those are going to tell us a lot more about these programs than today did. I will be ready with the picks and I will be right.

28-24

Good win for LSU, good pick for four of us at this desk. @drew, the series is now 4-2 LSU and they just made it look a little like 2023 again. Sometimes the old story is the right story, son.

31-17
