Reactions as LSU shuts down Auburn in big SEC West win
The Tigers had faced back-to-back shootouts entering Saturday night’s game against Auburn, but LSU treated the home fans to a much more solid defensive performance than the past few weeks as it breezed past Auburn to a 48-18 win.
The Tigers (5-2, 4-1 SEC) now have a ton of momentum on their side as they face Army next week before the bye. Then, it’s a trip to Tuscaloosa to face Alabama in a game that could be the de facto SEC West championship for the second year in a row.
After another huge day from the LSU offense and a promising outing from the defense, here’s how social media reached to the big win.
No place like Death Valley on a Saturday Night!

Brian Kelly likes where #LSU is at right now, especially if its defense can keep heading in the right direction: "I’ll put this team up with anybody in the league right now. We need to continue to grow and continue to get better from a defensive perspective."

515 yards of offense are the most Auburn has allowed in a game against LSU since at least 2000.
Considering LSU only surpassed 30 points in one meeting before that, it may be the most for LSU in this series' history.

Brian Kelly said the crowd was so loud tonight that its offense had to go to a nonverbal cadence. #LSU

LSU already has 34 points on a night where it feels like the offense doesn’t have its best stuff. This unit is insane

Brian Kelly: “This team controls its own destiny at this point. I’ll put this team up against anybody in the SEC. This is a team that can compete for a championship.”#LSU

Good stuff boys. JD5 still my Heisman favorite. Best QB in CFB. The defense major some major strides today. It was good to see Lacy have a big 2nd half after a rough 1st half. Zy Alexander honestly impressed me quite a bit tonight.

.@LSUfootball has amassed 500+ yards in 6-straight games, a 1st in program history.
(h/t @VoiceLadyTigers)The 2019 LSU champs had 2 streaks of 5-straight games.
I'd say the 2023 offense has officially entered "that" conversation. https://t.co/H5hDyfBEx2— Todd Politz (@tpolitz) October 15, 2023
