The No. 5 Auburn football team made easy work of No. 15 LSU on Saturday night in Jordan-Hare stadium, as it walked away with a dominant 41-7 victory. 
Auburn’s offense wasted no time, scoring on five of its seven first-half drives to open an early gap and finishing the game with 566 yards of total offense, compared to LSU’s 280.

“We tackled, we played hard, but offensively we did not execute,” said LSU coach Les Miles after the game. “We are a work in progress; certainly a group of men that are committed to fixing things. But, frankly, we did not get it done today.”
Almost half of Auburn’s yards offensive production came in the first quarter, as it posted 247 yards, the most since Gus Malzahn took over as head coach in 2013
The lone bright spot for LSU came freshman quarterback found freshman wide receiver Malachi Dupre for a 53-yard pass that led to a one-yard touchdown to cut Auburn’s lead to 17-7. 

But Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall quickly responded with another touchdown to extend its lead back to 17 points. 
Marshall finished the game throwing 14-for-22 for 207 yards and two touchdowns through the air in addition to 119 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground. 
I know Nick Marshall likes to throw the ball, but he can run too,” said LSU sophomore defensive tackle Christian LaCouture. “There’s a couple things he did well tonight.”
LSU’s defense was eventually able to muster up a few stops, but LSU’s offense couldn’t get anything going for the remainder of the game and failed to convert on a single third-down conversion on 13 attempts.
The piece for us was that we took some first and ten’s and could not get a third-down conversion,” Miles said. “We kept putting the defense on the field.”
Harris’ 53-yard bomb to Dupre proved to be his biggest contribution through the air by far, as he completed finished the game completing just three of 14 pass attempts for 58 yards before being replaced by sophomore Anthony Jennings.

“The night was awful from start to finish,” Harris said. “Our coaching staff did a great job preparing us for each game and each opponent. I though I came out and played terrible. I can’t even put a grade on it. It was an awful game.”
Things did not get better for LSU in the second half, as it failed to score again and Auburn put up 10 more points before the game’s end.
