Auburn's answering drive to Rueben Randle's heroics doesn't end up mattering much, apart from another impressive 23-yard run by Newton. A 10-yard home Tigers penalty leaves them stuck at midfield facing 4th-and-6, and Gene Chizik gets a little Miles in him and decides to go for it. Cam Newton's pass falls incomplete, and LSU takes over on downs at their own 40.
This series, you'll be shocked to learn, does not go well. Stevan Ridley runs right, Jordan Jefferson passes left, and on third and 6, here comes Nick Fairley blazing through a line that may as well be constructed of paper dolls holding hands. Auburn downs the visiting Tigers' punt at its own 10.
This next part doesn't take too long. Cam Newton breaks off a 16-yard run to the right. Michael Dyer gets four more. And with 5:11 remaining in the game, Onterio McCalebb explodes for his longest run of the year by a gulfy margin, hurtling downfield for 70 yards and a score.
LSU's remaining plays all go for naught. Auburn runs the clock down. And that'll do it for us on the Plains. Final score: Auburn 24, LSU 17.
