Tripped up on his first punt return Saturday, D.J. Chark felt determined to not let that happen again.
He didn't. The senior took his second punt return 75 yards for a touchdown that drew LSU ever closer in their comeback to beat No. 10 Auburn 27-23 at Tiger Stadium.
"I felt the team needed a big play," Chark said.
The punt return touchdown came on the second play of the fourth quarter and cut the Auburn lead to 23-21. LSU trailed 20-0 in the second quarter.
The day began with some frustration when Chark caught a 39-yard pass from Danny Etling and then immediately fumbled, and Auburn followed with a quick touchdown that put LSU down 10-0 less than 5 minutes after the start.
