Auburn football: When a blowout win turns into 1-point loss

You had it. I had it. We all had it Saturday while watching No. 7 Auburn squander a double-digit lead for the second consecutive season against LSU. The end result: a devastating 22-21 loss at home on the final play of the game.

And it’s not the defensive pass interference calls (or non-calls) that really hurt (OK, maybe they hurt some). It’s going back to that moment in the third quarter when it absolutely felt like Auburn was about to run LSU out of Jordan-Hare Stadium.

And it didn’t.

After trailing 10-0, Auburn scored on its final two possessions of the first half to take a 14-10 lead into the break.
