No. 18 LSU defeated Auburn 38-17 on Saturday in Alabama, ending an eight-game road losing streak in Southeastern Conference play. The dominant performance showcased the Tigers' offensive firepower with quarterback Sam Leavitt posting career numbers. He completed 32 of 45 passes for 387 yards, ran for 54 more, and accounted for four touchdowns while avoiding turnovers.

Leavitt's primary target was wide receiver Jackson Harris, who caught nine passes for 178 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown and a 70-yard scoring play on a crossing route. Tight end Trey'Dez Green, returning after four games missed to a sprained knee, added five receptions for 50 yards and a 15-yard touchdown. LSU dominated the first half, scoring on five of six possessions to take a commanding 31-10 lead into halftime.

Auburn, coming off a stunning road victory over then-No. 1 Georgia, appeared to suffer a letdown. The Tigers struggled to establish their ground game, particularly on early downs. Auburn quarterback Byrum Brown completed 15 of 24 passes for 160 yards and was sacked six times. LSU improved to 6-2 overall and 4-2 in SEC play, while Auburn fell to 4-3 overall and 2-3 in conference.
