LSU ultimately overcame a 17-0 deficit to beat South Carolina on Saturday, tying the second-largest road comeback in program history. A major reason the Tigers ultimately fell in that hole was a blocked punt in the first half in a 10-0 game that set the Gamecocks up

Shane Beamer exhausted his only option on Saturday night. South Carolina had just lost a heartbreaker to LSU — once up 17, the Gamecocks gave up the game-winning touchdown with just over a minute to play — and much of the game’s story centered on officiating.

Brian Kelly and the No. 16 ranked LSU Tigers escaped an upset scare in Week 3 after battling back from a 17-point deficit to take down South Carolina on the road. It was a gutsy performance from LSU signal-caller Garrett Nussmeier after earning the second comeback victory of his career.
