LOOK: After Aubie dresses up as Troy Trojan, Tigers blow 20-0 lead vs. LSU

Auburn led LSU 20-0 at one point on Saturday in Baton Rouge.
It looked as though the Bayou Bengals were going to be run out of their own stadium, but then the tables turned.
LSU stormed back and won the game 27-23. Perhaps it was a little magic from having the 2007 national championship team in town for a reunion.
Or, just maybe, Auburn hurt itself with the college football karma gods when its mascot, Aubie the Tiger, dressed up as the Troy Trojan.
It’s not a popular theory as to how the momentum swung in the game, but it could be possible, as Pick Six Previews pointed out on Twitter.
You don’t just come into Baton Rouge and mock LSU for losing to Troy. That’s not cool.
