LSU Erases 17-Point Deficit To Beat South Carolina, 36-33

COLUMBIA, S.C. – After falling behind 17-0 at the 12:19 mark in the second quarter, the No. 16 Tigers fought until the final whistle to defeat South Carolina at Williams-Brice Stadium, 36-33, on Saturday in Columbia.

Sellers and the South Carolina offense saw early success in the passing game, completing back-to-back passes to move across midfield, and would not look back. Running back Rocket Sanders would then break open a 27-yard gain for the Gamecocks, bringing the ball down to the LSU 4. Sellers would find paydirt in with a four yard QB keeper, putting a bow on an a seven play opening scoring drive, spanning 75 yards and just two minutes and 46 seconds.

On 3rd-and-11, with South Carolina threatening once again in LSU territory, Sellers’ pass to the end zone was intercepted by senior cornerback Zy Alexander, giving the Tigers the back back with 8:15 to play in the first quarter.

Left a ton of points on the field and still found a way to win against a very good USCe team who dismantled Kentucky last Saturday. Yes that Kentucky team who should’ve beaten UGA yesterday (lost 13-12). Don’t kid yourself that USCe team is solid and plays hard at home AND they hosted College Gameday for Christ sake!!!!!!!!!! Plus we always play like shite in those early dam day games. Let’s see how Ole Piss does this Saturday in Columbia before we cast judgement on Beamer Ball 2.0………….

This is for the person who downvoted my take, what do you disagree with? We played a fired up good solid team at home in a packed house that had just finished up with Gameday with Sandstorm blaring and towels going. I mean that place was rocking and their team showed up and showed out lol (Dawn Staley’s a douche nozzle) and almost pulled the upset. Oh and Ole Piss goes to Columbia in 3 weeks (the Saturday right before they come to Baton Rouge and not this Saturday) and the Rebs could be looking ahead to us and get beat. I mean it goes in the win column for us so go watch the tape and fix the mistakes. I wonder if USCw fans were bitching after they came back and beat us? Can’t we just agree the cup is half full and not half empty? #geauxtigers

Found a way to win

two plays in the fourth quarter, with lsu losing:

1. pass interference against s.c., after a long completion for a first down... watched it several times - no offensive pass interference on the play... none.

2. the following play: the 'rocket' makes mince meat of lsu's defense and rips off a huge gain, and then is hit, not once, but twice, out of bounds - no call...

I was born and raised in southeast Louisiana and have been an lsu fan all my life, but I have to say: the refs influenced the outcome of this game in favor of lsu...

Bs, learn the rules

CanebreakCajun•20 days

You mean by not calling a penalty on the punt block when SC jumped the fence?

irishbayou2023•19 days

doesn't the 'jumping the fence' rule apply to the line of scrimmage? and isn't that rule for FG attempts?

irishbayou2023•20 days

lsu takes the lead in the third qtr, and immediately gives up a huge rushing touchdown to the 'rocket'... on the play, weeks has outside containment, is unbelievably slow recognizing that he is out of position, (way too far inside, to be the last guy on the edge) and then, is WAY too slow cutting off the ballcarrier!!! what the hell!?!?! where's the coaching, where's the understanding - this is BASIC defensive football!!!

ABTigah•20 days

That was a nice come from behind win. It’s good to see the guys becoming a cohesive unit.

after lsu gets stopped on first and goal from the 2... s.c. takes over on the 1/2 yardline, on first down, it's a handoff in the backfield, in the end zone... perkins - for the safety = whiff...

Spankum•20 days

Not the offense we are used to, but they seem to have improved both offense and defense since the start of the season. Good win over an SEC opponent on the road. I will take it!

irishbayou2023•20 days

lsu has played two very mediocre teams, and one slightly above average team, USC, (by SEC standards) and have looked very bad in each game along the offensive and defensive lines... the lineplay, is horrific. it was expected on defense, but the offensive line, which was touted as one of the best in college football, has not delivered, either.

and what about harold perkins? I replayed the game and watched perkins... he is playing with NO energy, no fire... right at the beginning of the game, he tried to tackle a guy on the perimeter and COMPLETELY whiffed!

these guys come out of the locker room TOTALLY unready to play... in all three games, lsu has looked like walking zombies in the first quarter, especially on defense!

if drastic improvement doesn't come in the next two non-SEC weeks, it's going to be a long, miserable season for lsu...

4LSUinSC•20 days

LSU’s offense continues to come up empty too many times. My prediction of 48 pts. should have been realized easily against USCe. Sloan needs better calls at the goal line of the opponent.

irishbayou2023•20 days

the beginning of the 3rd quarter - 1st and goal at the 2... no points... horrible play calling; horrible execution...

Doctor K•20 days

Their d-ends were pinching in on shortage we we continue to run the ball straight up the gut when inside the 5. Our oline is not as good as advertised.

cajunmud•20 days

Ya know that play, that every team has, where the QB is under center with 2 RBs and he steps back a step or two, fakes the dive and standing right there makes a long pitch to the RB on that side, going that way? With the aggressiveness of those 2 ends...forgetaboutit. They'd a been caught with their pants down multiple times...with the freshman gettin it? I don't think that we ran it once.

JumpingJimFlash•20 days

Why do the espn announcers hate LSU so? They give them a compliment then immediately say something to Schiff all over them.

What?? Herbie & Chris Fowler love LSU.

Found a RB,,Durham stepped up,,,Great win Fighting Tigers !! GEAUX TIGERS

irishbayou2023•20 days

maybe...

he certainly plays with more energy than anyone else in the rb room...

gcmoney3•20 days

I would love to see the end zone view from behind the offense on Williams and Jackson’s runs. It looks like holes are there but the refuse to cut back and just run up the oline’s butts. Also, Jackson looks much less explosive this year than last; no acceleration or chance to use his speed.
Durham actually read the hole and made some great one step cuts to find the opening and make some solid runs. Never went down on first contact.

Vernonbrew22•20 days

A win on the road in the SEC is certainly a win. Wugly

cajunmud•20 days

Whew...BK needs to give every member of that defense a tackling dummy to take home with em.

irishbayou2023•20 days

if this defense doesn't improve DRAMATICALLY in these two warm-up non-sec weeks, it's going to be a miserable season

saintlad74•20 days

Gave away too many points and opportunities . Thank God that freshman quarterback didn't play the second half. Helped them come back
