Ahead of Saturday night’s matchup, here are some notable Auburn versus LSU games from the past 10 years.
Starting on their own 2-yard line, the Tigers went 98 yards for a touchdown to seal the deal and avoid an upset against Georgia State. Let's break down how it all went down.

Auburn faces LSU and we've broken down some of the key players to watch for each set of Tigers.
“I was kind of down, kind of sad,” McClain said. “We weren’t doing well. In the second half, I just took out all my anger out on the field.”
News struck Sunday afternoon that Auburn had fired first-year wide receiver coach Cornelius Williams just four games into the season. Harsin made it clear to the media on Monday that the change is only about making Auburn better.
“I feel like we are going to break this streak come Saturday," Monday said. "Our team wants it bad and we are going to prepare our best. We are going to give LSU our best.”
Over the last eight years, it's been a regular sight to see a tall, blonde kicker, with the last name "Carlson" printed across the back of his jersey trot onto the field to kick for the Tigers. A frequent visitor to Auburn games, however, knows that this is nothing unusual. That's because brothers Daniel and Anders Carlson have been facets within the Auburn football program for the past eight years.
"Obviously, we know very well how T.J. throws the ball, which is excellent," said LSU head coach Ed Orgeron. "He has a cannon for an arm. We know Bo’s throwing style so I think it’s more or less what type of passing game they’re going to have on both of those guys.”
Auburn's defense shut out Georgia State in the second half to help the Tigers avoid being on the wrong side of one of the biggest upsets in Auburn history.
“That’s not been decided yet and I know depth charts come out,” said Bryan Harsin. “It’s a little bit old school because things change throughout the week and all that, so that stuff to me doesn’t really impact anything we’re going to do this week.”

“He made a throw. We made a catch. So, I am proud of him,” said head coach Bryan Harsin. “That preparation showed up tonight when he was able to get it done. Give him the credit.”
Auburn is looking to secure another non-conference win in Jordan-Hare versus Georgia State.
“The goal is to be the most physical team,” Deal said. “Just building the identity of tight ends, O-Line and running backs, that’s kind of what we want to be a part of, is that kind of physical run style.”
