CFB: Jefferson gets redemption, No. 9 LSU beats Auburn 31-10


By BRETT MARTEL

BATON ROUGE, La.— Jordan Jefferson followed the worst game of his young career with his best.

Jefferson threw for a career-high 236 yards, including two touchdown passes, and scrambled for another score to lead No. 9 LSU to a 31-10 victory over Auburn on Saturday night.
After passing for 96 yards in a 13-3 loss to Florida, Jefferson quickly put that performance behind him with a touchdown pass to Terrance Toliver on LSU’s first series. Toliver had a career-high nine catches for 85 yards, Brandon LaFell caught a touchdown pass and freshman Russell Shepard ran 69 yards for his first career TD.
LSU’s defense was impressive as well, causing two turnovers and sacking Auburn’s Chris Todd four times.
