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.

However, LSU weathered the storm and scored 16 in the second quarter to make it an eight-point game. With South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers going down due to injury, the Gamecocks' offense took a major step back. LSU took the lead in the fourth quarter, but the Gamecocks responded and retook the lead.
