The last time Auburn and LSU squared off Auburn took down LSU 24-19 in Baton Rouge, winning there for the first time since 1999.
The win was Auburn’s second in a row over the Bayou Bengals and was in large part due to the heroics of [autotag]Bo Nix[/autotag].
He had perhaps his best road performance of his three years at Auburn, going 23-for-44 for 255 yards and one touchdown. He added 74 yards and one touchdown on the ground to lead Auburn to victory.
The most memorable play of the game occurred on 4th-and-2 when Nix rolled to his right before running back to the left and evading multiple defenders before finding [autotag]Tyler Fromm[/autotag] for a 24-yard touchdown.
The 2020 matchup between the programs was not nearly as stressful as Auburn steamrolled them to a 48-11 win in Jordan-Hare Stadium. The 37-point margin of victory was the largest margin of victory for Auburn in the rivalry.
Nix once again had a great game, throwing for 300 yards and three touchdowns on just 18 completions. The star of the show was receiver [autotag]Anthony Schwartz[/autotag] who caught four passes for 123 yards and a 91-yard touchdown.
The Auburn defense shut down the defending national champions, forcing three turnovers, 4.0 sacks, and allowed just 32 yards rushing.
Here are the best photos from these two games ahead of the game Saturday in Jordan-Hare Stadium, which is set to start at 6 p.m. CT and be on ESPN.
