Auburn football’s strong start against rival LSU was not enough to carry it to a victory, as it fell to the Bayou Bengals, 21-17, on Saturday night at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Auburn jumped to a 17-0 lead with 9:38 remaining in the second quarter. Auburn reached that point by doing something that had not happened through four games, a receiver reeling in a touchdown catch.
It happened twice in the first half.
Starting quarterback [autotag]Robby Ashford[/autotag] threw touchdown passes of 53 yards and 18 yards to [autotag]Ja’varrius Johnson[/autotag] and [autotag]Camden Brown[/autotag], respectively. Speaking of passing, Ashford threw for 337 yards, which was a huge contribution to Auburn’s 438 yards of offense.
For as many positives as we saw on the field Saturday night, there were just as many negatives. Auburn committed four turnovers and running back [autotag]Tank Bigsby[/autotag] once again was limited in carries.
There were highs, and there were lows. Here are the winners and losers from Auburn’s loss to LSU.
