The Auburn defense showed up to play at LSU, and is already causing problems for the LSU offense.

But Derrick Brown took things to another level when he threw Damien Lewis into the quarterback, who stumbled to the turf at Tiger Stadium. Burrow hit the ground inside his own 5-yard line, which gave Brown a sack without even touching Burrow.

Auburn had 3 sacks in the first quarter alone, as LSU already had 6 third down attempts, and faced a third down and long to begin the second quarter. The first two LSU drives ended in punts.

The LSU offense took a while to get on track, but it scored its first touchdown with 12:28 remaining in the first half. But even then, LSU had just 18 rushing yards on 9 attempts as it faced the best defensive showing for an LSU opponent to start the season.
