Several controversial calls disrupted the ending of LSU’s 36-33 win over South Carolina, including two defensive touchdowns taken off the board, highlighted by a pick-six late in the contest. South Carolina built a 24-10 lead in the first half in hopes of snapping a six-game skid against top 25 competition, but it wasn’t to be as the Tigers led for the first time in the contest with 1:12 left.
“Says a lot about LSU and their character and they got some breaks, let’s face it, people are going to go back on ‘X’ and say how is this not a call, how is that not a call … everyone is going to talk about that,” Kirk Herbstreit said after the game. “But at the end of the day, disheartening. Whoever loses this game, this is a tough one. (Both teams) played well enough to win. LSU made just enough plays to get out of there with a win.”
Host Chris Fowler said said LSU’s win was “gritty” and there would be “a lot of chatter because the officials played a large part in deciding things” in the final seconds.
Awful call, this should be a 100 yard pick 6 for Nick Emmanwori 😐 pic.twitter.com/wQx5ai5PiH
