The LSU Game October 2, 2021

Once again it's LSU time.  Crazy things tend to happen in this series.  What might happen tonight?  Both teams are 3 & 1.  Auburn has not won in Baton Rouge since 1999.  LSU is a 3 point favorite.  The initial drama is who start at QB for Auburn.  Bo Nix was benched in last week's game in time for PJ Finley to lead the Tigers to a game winning 98 touchdown drive.  I'm guessing Nix.

LSU drives 91 yds for the score the scoring play coming on second and goal from the 31.

Carlson misses a 51 yd. FG attempt.

LSU makes a 33 yd. FG.

Finley enters the game in the second quarter but no score.

LSU gets another short FG.  LSU 13 Auburn 0

Big drive  by Auburn as Nix makes a spectacular play scrambling first to his right then back to his left avoiding tacklers staying inbounds and finding an open Fromm in the end zone for the touchdown.

LSU 13 Auburn 7

With seconds left in the half Auburn cuts the lead to 13-10.

Auburn starts the second half with an onside kick recovered by LSU.

LSU gets a FG

LSU 16 Auburn 10.

Late third qt. another LSU FG.

LSU 19 Auburn 10

Auburn drives for the end zone capped by a Bo Nix run of five yards around right end.

LSU 19  Auburn 17.

 Bo leads the offense to the winning TD.  Final score:

Auburn 24  LSU 17

First win at LSU since 1999.  A joyous celebration on the field by Tiger players and fans.
