The 2019 season will forever go down in LSU football history as the best season ever by a Tigers team. A 15-0 record culminated by a College Football Playoff national championship places LSU in the record books.
One of the most meaningful wins last season was in Baton Rouge against the Auburn Tigers.
LSU entered the game No. 2 in the country with a 7-0 record. Auburn was No. 9 with a 6-1 record.
LSU only put up 23 points, but the lowest number of points scored the entire season proved to be enough to get the three point victory.
Joe Burrow finished the game 32-of-42 passing for 321 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Clyde Edwards-Helaire ran the ball 26 times for 136 yards and a touchdown.
For Auburn, quarterback Bo Nix finished 15-of-35 for 157 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
Auburn held a 3-0 lead after the first quarter, but LSU found the end zone nearly three minutes in to the second quarter to take a 7-3 lead.
With 3:06 left before the half, Auburn took a 10-7 lead on a one-yard touchdown run by Nix. LSU kicker Cade York tied the game at 10 just before the half on a 20-yard field goal.
In the third quarter, Auburn took a 13-10 lead but LSU bounced back on a six-yard run by Edwards-Helaire to put LSU up 16-13.
The fourth quarter saw LSU go up 23-13 on a seven yard touchdown by Burrow. Auburn would score with 2:32 remaining, but it wouldn’t be enough as Ed Orgeron’s Tigers would remain undefeated at 8-0.
This win marked the lowest points scored in a game by the Tigers in 2019, but it proved to be one of the most meaningful wins for the program as LSU chased a championship.
