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

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.

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.
