LSU fell behind big time at South Carolina on Saturday. Brian Kelly’s Tigers seemed headed for a second loss in 2024.
Then, the Tigers came to life and scuttled the Gamecocks’ dreams of a 3-0 start and a huge SEC victory.
Overcoming a 17-0 deficit midway through the second quarter, LSU downed South Carolina, 36-33.
The result wasn’t settled until the Gamecocks missed a field goal at the end of the game.
