Instant Analysis: LSU survives Auburn

The Southeastern Conference game between LSU and Auburn at Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday night was far from a picture of beauty.

Both teams made enough mistakes for half a season – much less one game.

But, it was LSU which did enough to win its fourth consecutive game – the second against a SEC opponent. John Emery’s 20-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter was the difference in LSU’s 21-17 victory.
