AUBURN, AL (LSUsports.net) – Cole Tracy made a 42-yard field goal as time expired, as the No. 12-ranked LSU football team defeated Auburn, 22-21, on Saturday on The Plains.

LSU (3-0, 1-0 SEC) has knocked off two top-10 opponents – No. 8 Miami and No. 7 Auburn – in the first three weeks of the 2018 season, each away from Tiger Stadium.

The Tigers will return home to face Louisiana Tech on Saturday, Sept. 22, at 6 p.m. CT. Tickets are available at www.LSUtix.net.

LSU quarterback Joe Burrow, a transfer from Ohio State, earned his first SEC victory in the most hostile of environments, as the visiting Tigers won at Auburn for the first time since 2012.

Burrow was 15-of-34 passing for 249 yards including a 71-yard touchdown pass to Derrick Dillon that pulled LSU within two points with 8:18 to play.

On the final drive of the game, he led the Tigers on a 14-play, 52-yard drive that used the final 5:38 of the clock and ended with a 42-yard field goal that split the uprights with the clock at 0:00.

Save 21-straight points by Auburn in a 10-minute segment of the game spanning the second and third quarters, LSU’s defense controlled the majority of the game. Auburn was held scoreless in the first 24:54 and the final 25:38 of the game.
