LSU 38, Auburn 17
A hangover from hell. One week after knocking off No. 1, the Tigers got sacked seven times, ran for 67 yards and let Sam Leavitt throw for 387 in their own damn stadium.

The game
The Georgia buzz lasted exactly one week. LSU scored on five of its six first-half drives and led 31–10 at halftime, including a 14-play, 95-yard march right after Hudson Kaak’s 69-yard punt pinned the Bayou Bengals at their own 5, and a 70-yard Leavitt-to-Jackson Harris bomb on third-and-5. Auburn’s offense managed 271 yards, its lowest of the season, and gave up seven sacks. The only Auburn touchdown after halftime came from backup Tristan Ti’a with 24 seconds left and the game long gone. No turnovers either way, no excuses either. Just a straight-up ass-kicking at home.

NCAA net rushing includes sacks, and holy shit did that matter here: Auburn’s 67 net rushing yards include seven sacks for −48 (Byrum Brown six for −39, Ti’a one for −9). Calculated without the sacks, it’s 115 yards on 28 carries (4.11 a pop), which is mediocre, not catastrophic; the official number stays 67. Brown’s line of 19 carries for 21 net has 74 gained and 53 lost. Auburn’s TEAM −4 rush is an unattributed first-quarter loss at the LSU 37; the book lists one Auburn fumble (not lost) without naming anyone, and that play is the likeliest candidate. LSU’s Landen Clark took the only Auburn sack (−2). No kneeldowns by either team. Auburn’s three fourth-down conversions were a 9-yard Mabson run on the final play of the half, Koger’s 23-yard catch on fourth-and-3, and Ti’a’s 16-yard scramble on fourth-and-16; LSU went 3/4, and the one stop came on fourth-and-9 with 4:25 left and LSU up 28. LSU’s 70-yard Harris TD started outside the red zone, so its 5/5 covers the FG, three short TDs and Dilin Jones’ 12-yarder.

Eric Winters had an interception at the Auburn 43 early in the second quarter, but replay overturned it to an incompletion, so it isn’t counted; LSU scored a touchdown on that drive. Declined penalties (Auburn holding twice, pass interference and offside once each; LSU illegal formation once) aren’t in either penalty count.

Punting detail: clean accounting again. Auburn’s calculated net, (340 − 0 return yards − 20 for the one touchback)/7 = 45.71, matches the printed 45.7; LSU’s (100 − (−1))/3 = 33.67 matches its printed 33.7 (Bryce Cain’s only return lost a yard). Kaak boomed a 69-yarder and a 61-yarder that went for a touchback, and his 45.71 calculated net is Auburn’s best of the season, which is a hell of a sad thing to celebrate in a 21-point loss. Neither team returned a kickoff: Auburn’s two non-touchback kickoffs went out of bounds (LSU at its 35 both times), and LSU’s one non-touchback did too. Game book, pp. 2–3

Net punting uses the same return-and-touchback formula for every game (penalty yardage excluded), so it won’t match every printed official net; the per-game differences are in the earlier reports. McPherson’s chip-shot 23-yarder makes Auburn 7/9 on field goals. Kaak’s 340-yard day pushed Auburn’s season gross to 42.03, and the punting unit was easily the best thing Auburn put on the field Saturday. That’s damning, not a compliment. Still 2 blocked field goals and 1 blocked punt on the season; nothing blocked this week.

Rolling windows. The last three is now Games 5–7 (Tennessee, Georgia, LSU; 1–2) against Games 4–6 (Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Georgia; 2–1). They share Tennessee and Georgia, so the entire change is LSU in, Vanderbilt out. That’s one game swapped, not six independent games.

The breakdown
The pass defense got torched, two weeks running. LSU’s 6.90 yards per play is the worst Auburn has allowed all season, beating the 6.77 Georgia hung on it a week earlier, and the 552 total yards and 387 passing yards are season worsts too. Leavitt went 32/45 at 8.41 a throw, Harris caught nine for 178, and LSU ran 80 plays, the second-heaviest workload of the year behind the 99-play Baylor marathon. The killer stretch: after Kaak pinned LSU at its own 5, the defense gave up a 14-play, 95-yard TD drive that included a fourth-and-2 conversion, then a 3-play, 75-yard TD, then a 10-play, 74-yard TD in the final 3:21 of the half. Twenty-one points in the second quarter. And with zero takeaways (Winters’ pick got overturned) there was no Georgia-style bailout. Back-to-back 6.7-plus yards-per-play games allowed is a real fucking trend now, not a one-off. Drive chart and play-by-play
The offensive line got bulldozed. Seven sacks ties the Florida game for the most Auburn has allowed, and it pushes the season total to 30, or 4.29 a game. LSU logged 12 tackles for loss, the most any opponent has had against Auburn this year (Baylor had 11). Brown was sacked on third-and-3 on the opening drive, on third-and-12 to end the first quarter, twice in the third quarter, and twice more on one fourth-quarter possession that died at the Auburn 44. The third quarter was pure dogshit: five rushes for −1 yard, 4:16 of possession, zero first downs from the run game after Brown’s 16-yard opener, two punts. The 4.17 yards per play and 1.91 a carry are both season lows. LSU defensive statistics
The passing game was the only thing with a pulse, and a lot of it was empty calories. Yards per attempt by game: 7.40 → 8.09 → 7.74 → 5.19 → 4.82 → 6.21 → 6.80. The 6.80 is Auburn’s best since Florida, and nobody threw a pick. But Brown’s 15/24 for 160 produced zero touchdowns, and 44 of the 204 passing yards plus the second TD came from Ti’a on a 12-play drive that started with LSU up 38–10 and 4:20 left. That drive also needed a fourth-and-16 scramble and had a touchdown wiped out by an Auburn illegal formation. Garbage-time padding is still yardage, but don’t mistake it for a comeback. Play-by-play
At least the flags calmed the hell down. Auburn went from 11 for 85 at Georgia to 6 for 48, its fewest penalty yards since Vanderbilt on September 26. The timing still stunk: a personal foul on the opening kickoff started Auburn at its own 12, a Bryce Deas hold handed LSU 10 free yards on its field-goal drive, and a fourth-quarter hold wiped out a 6-yard Brown run at the LSU 29. LSU was flagged 7 times for 50, five of them for 40 yards in the third quarter, and still burned 7:31 on that opening drive of the half before punting. LSU’s mistakes didn’t matter because Auburn couldn’t do a damn thing with the ball afterward. Play-by-play
Context, because one ugly game isn’t the whole season. LSU was ranked No. 18, and Auburn was coming off an emotional upset in Athens. That’s real, but it doesn’t explain getting outgained by 281 yards at home. The rolling windows now say the bad stuff louder: defensive yards per play is 6.20 over the last three, up +1.01, and sacks allowed are 5.33 a game. These are raw changes, not opponent-adjusted ones, and it’s still just Vanderbilt swapped for LSU. Fourth-down defense remains a sore spot: SEC opponents are now 12/14 on fourth down across Florida, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Georgia and LSU.
Key contributors: Byrum Brown went 15/24 for 160 with no TDs or picks and ran 19 times for 21 net (34-yard long, one TD) while eating six sacks. Tristan Ti’a went 5/6 for 44 and ran in the late TD. Keshaun Singleton caught four for 64, DeShawn Spencer four for 41 (all on the final drive) and Jeremiah Koger two for 30. On defense, Kaleb Harris had nine tackles and Bryce Deas eight; Jared Smith had Auburn’s only sack; Cody Sigler had two TFLs. Hudson Kaak averaged 48.6 on seven punts. For LSU, Sam Leavitt went 32/45 for 387 and three TDs and ran for 54 and a TD, Jackson Harris caught nine for 178 and two TDs, Dilin Jones ran 21 times for 92 and a TD, and Jordan Ross had two of LSU’s seven sacks. Names are here only to explain the team numbers. Official individual statistics
Fine print
Small-sample caveat: seven games, one week after a three-point win over No. 1 and one week before a trip to Oxford. A 21-point home loss to a ranked team says a lot about Saturday and less about November. Turnover margin, fourth-down and red-zone rates are built on a handful of plays per game and swing wildly. Nothing here is opponent-adjusted; LSU is the third ranked team in Auburn’s last three games (No. 17 Tennessee, No. 1 Georgia, No. 18 LSU per the official schedule).
Re-checks: this run re-downloaded every 2026 source. Fresh official box scores for Baylor, Southern Miss, Florida, Tennessee and Georgia parse to the same team figures already on file, so there are no changes. The Vanderbilt, Tennessee and Georgia game books are byte-for-byte identical to the copies saved earlier. For LSU, Auburn’s game book and LSU’s posted copy are the same file, byte for byte, so they count as one source; ESPN’s team stats are the independent cross-check, and they match the book on first downs, third and fourth downs, yardage, completions, rushing, penalties, turnovers, possession and quarter scores. Both schools’ HTML box pages are script-rendered with no stat tables. One small source quirk: the team table credits Auburn with a fumble (not lost) that the individual fumble list doesn’t name; it doesn’t touch the turnover math. The six-game snapshot rebuilt from the game files reproduces the October 17 snapshot exactly. Previously disclosed differences (USM full-box totals, Florida and Vanderbilt calculated vs printed net punting) are unchanged and aren’t new corrections. Pressure totals, success rate, EPA, individual snap counts and opponent-adjusted metrics still can’t be verified consistently, so they’re left out.
