Early in the second quarter of Saturday's game, senior place kicker Wes Byrum kicked a now routine 42-yard field goal.
But this field goal was not routine.
Not only did Byrum's kick give Auburn a 7-point lead over LSU, but it also gave him a place in Auburn history books.
Byrum now sits atop Auburn's all-time leading scorer list, passing John Vaughn's record of 312 points between the 2003-2006 seasons.
Last season, Byrum set the record for most points in a season by a kicker with 99.
Byrum currently has 315 career points and 75 for the season.
Against Arkansas Oct. 16, Byrum scored 17 points on three field goals and eight PATs.
The last time an Auburn kicker scored that much in one game was Jaret Holmes against UAB in 1996.
