Destiny in Your Corner

In a craaaazy finish LSU beats Auburn!

Flynn finished with 319 yards passing and three touchdowns, the last on what seemed to be a risky play called by a coach who’s shown he’s not afraid to gamble.

Les Miles had converted five fourth downs in a dramatic 28-24 victory over Florida the last time LSU was at home. This time, he let Flynn take one last shot at the end zone with the clock winding down when the safer play would have been to set up for a potential game-winning field goal.

LSU had a timeout left, but the Tigers cut it awfully close on their final play.

Miles said those calls come from being confident in his players, who had come back from a 17-7 halftime deficit.

It was over when… Matt Flynn found Demetrius Byrd on a last-second, 22-yard miracle touchdown to put LSU up 30-24. It was a gutsy call that paid off big for Les Miles and the Tigers.
Gameball goes to... Flynn. He’s the definition of clutch. LSU’s senior QB completed 22 of 34 passes for 318 yards and three TDs. He also carried the ball 10 times for 33 yards.
Stat of the game292. Auburn racked up just 292 yards of total offense (212 from QB Brandon Cox alone) — nearly 200 fewer yards than LSU.

The victory also puts LSU on the inside track to win the SEC West, as the winner of the Auburn-LSU rivalry has done in five of the past seven years.
