LSU overwhelmed Auburn 38-17 at Jordan-Hare Stadium, exposing problems on both sides of the ball. Coach Alex Golesh called it a bad performance “in every imaginable way” and said there was no silver lining.

By the Numbers
  • Final score: LSU 38, Auburn 17.
  • Total yards: LSU 552, Auburn 271.
  • First downs: LSU 29, Auburn 16.

Yes, But

Auburn avoided turnovers, but didn’t force any from LSU—providing little relief in a lopsided loss.

State of Play
  • LSU controlled the game, including more than seven extra minutes of possession.
  • Auburn’s path to a stronger finish is narrowing as the season continues.
What's Next

Auburn needs to respond quickly and find more wins to improve its season record.

Bottom Line

Golesh offered no excuses: Auburn was thoroughly outplayed, and the team must address problems on both sides of the ball.
