The numbers should have told the story: Auburn’s defense played well enough to warrant a hard-fought win in another enthralling installment of the program’s rivalry with LSU.
Auburn limited LSU to 270 yards of total offense, the fewest in a game by a Power 5 opponent since Bryan Harsin took over the program.
As LSU coach Brian Kelly said afterward, though: There’s a saying in golf, “there are no pictures on the scorecard, it is just what you score.” And on Saturday night under the lights at Jordan-Hare Stadium, it was LSU 21, Auburn 17 — and another vexing loss for Harsin’s program despite a stalwart performance from Auburn’s defense.
Nearly half of his passing yards came on one play — a 39-yard catch-and-run to running back John Emery Jr. that set up LSU’s first offensive touchdown late in the first half. After struggling to win one-on-one battles downfield through the first month of the season, Auburn’s secondary didn’t give up any deep passes to LSU, which finished 0-of-4 on pass attempts 15-plus yards downfield.
While the unit allowed some chunk plays on the ground, with LSU posting eight runs of at least 10 yards — including Emery’s go-ahead 20-yard touchdown run in the third quarter — it still limited LSU to just 3.6 yards per play for the game. That’s LSU’s worst yards-per-play mark in a win since the 2001 SEC title game against Tennessee in Nick Saban’s second season, when it averaged 3.7 yards per play in a 31-20 win.
