Well, there’s winning left-handed, and there’s winning with no hands, I guess.
LSU ran 88 plays for 508 yards with 30 first downs, but managed to score just 23 points. It was enough to hold off Auburn, but it damn sure wasn’t pretty. A testament to the power of turnovers — LSU muffed a punt, threw and interception and failed to pick up two fourth downs. Auburn had just 287 yards at 4.2 per play, but ultimately couldn’t take advantage of those miscues. As Poseur always says, yardage advantages need to translate to points or bad things happen.
