Game of Week #4: LSU 26 -- Auburn 21

This all Tigers rivalry that paves the way to the SEC championship game never fails to disappoint. Only this time, the road team stole a win for the first time in 8 years.

LSU trailed most of the game and Auburn's offense led by QB Chris Todd actually looked better than I expected. Bayou Bengal backup QB Jarrett Lee entered the game due to injury in the 3rd quarter and their struggles continued. However, after a costly interception returned for a TD, Lee began to turn things around for the visitors.

Louisiana State put up 23 second half points and took the lead for good on a 18 yd TD pass from Lee to WR Brandon LaFell with only 63 seconds left to play. Not surprisingly, Auburn immediately rallied, but came up short in the end.

Another great SEC matchup on Saturday night. Look for this week's Georgia-Alabama game to be even better!
