Penalties, run offense, and Auburn turnovers | How LSU was able to get an win at Jordan-Hare Stadium and why it was so ugly

Summary: Can the LSU-Auburn matchup ever be normal? Can we ever get a normal game? Just once? LSU advances to 4-1 on the season and 2-0 in SEC play after a 21-17 victory over the Auburn Tigers in Jordan-Hare Stadium. LSU now sits at #25 in the AP Poll and they are in a good position to host Tennessee in Tiger Stadium in Week 6, but the process to get here wasn't pretty. The LSU Tigers only threw for 85 yards the entire night: Jayden Daniels for 80 yards on 8 completions and Garrett Nussmeier, who came in the game when Daniels came out with a knee injury, who threw for just 5 yards on 2 completions. LSU committed 10 penalties for nearly 100 yards and gave up more than 300 to Robby Ashford and the Auburn passing game. It wasn't pretty...but it was beautiful. LSU's defense yet again showed up when it was needed the most. Even though the secondary missed tackles and allowed Ashford to hit on several deep balls, BJ Ojulari forced a fumble that Jay Ward returned to the end zone for LSU's first touchdown of the night and Harold Perkins intercepted WR Koy Moore (told you it wasn't a normal game) to stop Auburn on 2nd & goal. Also, when Jayden Daniels couldn't get much done in the air, the running backs stepped up. Running backs Josh Williams, Noah Cain and John Emery Jr. and QB Jayden Daniels were efficient on the ground combining for 185 yards and 2 touchdowns. There were sloppy penalties (looking at you to clean that up, Brian Polian), missed opportunities (looking at those dropped passes, LSU WRs), and too many busted coverages (looking at you, LSU secondary), but nonetheless LSU remains undefeated in conference play and was able to come back from a 17-0 deficit in the first half to win the game in a raucous road environment.
