Auburn upsets No. 10 LSU

By
AUBURN, ALABAMA - Ronnie Brown ran for two touchdowns and Auburn took advantage of five turnovers to upset No. 10 LSU 31-7 Saturday. <br> <br> The host Tigers (5-3, 3-2 SEC) intercepted Marcus Randall four times and held LSU (6-2, 3-1) to 242 yards after giving up 68 points in their last two games, both losses. <br> <br> Jason Campbell, starting his first game of the season, completed 7 of 11 passes for 105 yards and rushed for 37 more against the nation&#39;s top-ranked defense. Brown rushed 18 times for 95 yards in place of injured tailback Carnell Williams. <br> <br> LSU didn&#39;t score until midway through the fourth quarter and had its six-game winning streak snapped. The Tigers had won their first three league games by an average of 24 points. <br> <br> Randall, making his second start for the injured Matt Mauck, was constantly harassed into making mistakes. Travaris Robinson set up Auburn&#39;s first touchdown with a 64-yard interception return and Karlos Dansby set up the Tigers&#39; last score with a 60-yard return. <br> <br> Randall finished 9-of-20 for 79 yards while rushing for 74 yards on 16 attempts. Domanick Davis, the nation&#39;s leading punt returner, was limited to 42 yards on 14 carries and only returned one punt for 9 yards. <br> <br> In the fourth quarter, Auburn fans chanted ``LSWho&#39;&#39; and ``Over-rated.&#39;&#39; Last season, LSU ended Auburn&#39;s SEC championship hopes in the regular-season finale. <br> <br> LSU, which came in allowing 11 points and 217 yards per game, trailed 17-0 at halftime mainly because it couldn&#39;t hold onto the ball - starting with the first snap. Davis fumbled on the game&#39;s opening play, and Randall threw three interceptions in a span of five passes, all giving Auburn possession in LSU territory. <br> <br> It was surprising considering LSU went two games without committing a turnover and five without throwing an interception. <br> <br> Campbell hit Robert Johnson on a 3-yard scoring pass to make it 24-0 four minutes into the second half. Campbell also threw a 48-yarder to Devin Aromashodu to move into LSU territory. <br> <br> Brown, who also had a 5-yard score early, rushed for a 20-yard TD on third-and-goal with 11:14 left in the fourth.
