Saturday evenings in the SEC provide dramatic theatre akin to that of a Broadway performance.
Down 18-13 with 0:06 remaining in the contest, LSU converted on a fourth-down attempt against Auburn.
With one second left on the clock, LSU QB Danny Etling rolled to his right and found WR D.J. Chark in the back of the end-zone for what would have been the game-winning score. Unfortunately for Les Miles and the Tigers, the clock his 0:00 before Etling was able to get the play off — thus wiping out the touchdown.
Suffice it to say, but the pressure for Miles has ramped up exponentially after yet another pedestrian effort:
If les miles could've somehow found a way to make a QB successful in his offense he'd prolly have 4 national titles by now

Miles: "We knew that the ref was not going to blow a whistle. He was just going to raise a hand and the clock was going to start."

The amount of talent #LSU gets is just wasted. Les Miles, love what you did, but it's time to go.

Poor LSU. This insane last-second TD didn’t count. Auburn wins. https://t.co/K4zeRkOCPc

That ranks right up there with another fantastic finish in the Auburn-LSU series. So many great ones

Also Auburn just beat LSU without scoring a touchdown.

No ending has ever defined the essence of a coach or team more than that one defines Les Miles and LSU.
