In a match that had the air of a southern soap opera, No. 16 LSU found themselves teetering on the edge of calamity against the South Carolina Gamecocks. With a late-game surge, our gallant Tigers snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, thanks in part to some rather questionable officiating. As Coach Kelly chewed on his nails, his quarterback Nussmeier delivered a performance that was as thrilling as a riverboat poker game—full of highs and lows, but ultimately leading to a win that keeps the hopes of playoff grandeur alive.
