AUBURN, Ala. - It's a Tiger versus Tiger matchup at Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday morning as LSU takes on Auburn.

Auburn's opening drive ended in a three-and-out as LSU defensive end Princewill Umanmielen recorded his ninth sack of the season, bringing down Auburn quarterback Byrum Brown on third down.

The LSU offense drove into the red zone on its opening possession but had to settle for a 30-yard field goal from placekicker Scott Starzyk to give LSU an early 3-0 lead.

Auburn made its own trip to the red zone on the ensuing possession, but LSU's defense held the Tigers to a 23-yard field goal to tie the game at 3-3 midway through the first quarter.

LSU answered right back on its ensuing possession, quickly moving the ball down the field on an eight-play, 65-yard drive capped by a 10-yard touchdown pass from Sam Leavitt to Jackson Harris to give LSU a 10-3 lead with just under four minutes remaining in the first quarter.

Tight end Trey'Dez Green made his presence known in his return from injury, helping LSU convert a gutsy fourth-down attempt from its own 31-yard line with an 11-yard catch and run on a trick play. Later on the same drive, the star tight end hauled in a 15-yard touchdown reception to extend LSU's lead to 17-3 with just under 10 minutes remaining in the first half.

Brown broke loose on third-and-long, picking up 34 yards before being knocked out of bounds at the LSU 1-yard line. On the ensuing play, Brown finished the drive with his legs, rushing for a touchdown to cut LSU's lead to 17-10 with just under six minutes left in the half.

LSU responded almost immediately as Leavitt connected with Harris once again, this time for a 70-yard touchdown to extend the Tigers' lead to 24-10 with just under four and a half minutes remaining in the first half.

LSU extended its lead heading into halftime as the Tigers capped a 10-play, 74-yard drive with a 4-yard rushing touchdown by Leavitt to take a 31-10 lead.

After a quiet third quarter for both teams, LSU extended its lead to 38-10 on a 12-yard rushing touchdown from running back Dilin Jones with roughly 14 minutes remaining in the game.

Auburn responded with quarterback Tristan Ti'a running it in for a final touchdown, bringing the final score to 38-17.

LSU has a bye next weekend before returning to Death Valley to host Alabama on Saturday, Nov. 7.
