Alabama Quarterback Jalen Hurts broke loose for a twenty one yard touchdown run to break a scoreless tie early in the fourth quarter against LSU. Number one ranked Alabama's defense thoroughly stifled Leonard Fournette and the Tigers in a 10-0 victory in Baton Rogue. Freshman Hurts established himself as one of the most dynamic, explosive players in college football, was the game's leading rusher with one hundred and fourteen yards on twenty 20 carries.
An injured Sean White came off the bench for Auburn to throw a touchdown pass and Josh Holsey intercepted a last-minute throw to lift the Tigers to a come-from-behind, 23-16 win Saturday over Vanderbilt. Auburn sputtered after starting John Franklin III in place of White, who had an unspecified injury. White returned to open the second half with Auburn down 13-10, then threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Darius Slayton and led two field goal drives. The win coupled with Mississippi State's upset of No. 7 Texas A&M means Auburn can win the SEC West with victories over Georgia and No. 1 Alabama.
