LSU defense holds firm late in victory over Auburn

Auburn quarterback Jarrett Stidham faked an end around and rolled to his right. He looked to the end zone and found wide receiver Darius Slayton for a 4-yard touchdown and a 21-10 lead.

It was the third consecutive drive - taking out a one-play kneeldown at the end of the first half - Auburn punched it in for a touchdown.

The LSU sideline didn't have the same enthusiasm it did in the first quarter. Not when LSU made a fourth-down stop against Auburn at the LSU 15 yard-line. That's when LSU had confidence.

After Auburn's third touchdown, the confidence was waning.
