Brandon Harris: LSU QB Harris has his best career game in win

“Because of the situation, I think it’s possible it could get approval from the different agencies involved with this to donate the funds raised from auctioning his jersey to the relief fund”, said LSU senior associate athletic director Miriam Segar, the school’s former compliance coordinator. One punt landed inside South Carolina’s 20-yard line.

After going 2-0 to open the month, the Tigers will host No. 11 Florida on October 17 and Western Kentucky the following Saturday.

But what the tailgating scene lacked in numbers, it made up for in hospitality.

“I want to send my prayers, condolences and empathy to the people of South Carolina”, said Fournette.

There’s a thought that LSU would have reached that number if tickets had been discounted from the $75 face value, but South Carolina (which got all the gate and concession money after stadium expenses) and LSU agreed to charge full price.

Defensively, the Tigers held the Gamecocks to 283 yards.

The LSU running game looked like the solid foundation the Tigers have used as a crutch when their weaknesses – special teams and pass defense – are exploited. “We could have given a little more effort”. I just wanted to help out the families and people out there.

Tiger Stadium seats over 102,000.

“Our flag’s flying today, and our state flag is flying. We did that, but when the kickoff started, it was SEC football”. The student who sported the “C” was painted white and garnet, South Carolina’s colors.

Paid attendance for the unscheduled “home” contest for LSU was 42,058.

With two runs netting 15 yards, Fournette helped LSU overcome an illegal shift that negated a 16-yard catch by Trey Quinn. The Tigers are led by head coach Les Miles and running back Leonard Fournette, who may be on his way to the Heisman Trophy.

“I had the headset on”, Spurrier said. Miles didn’t mind the small crowd – “They sounded just like 100,000 to me”, he said. This may not matter in a game in which you are clearly better than your opponent however against better teams the field position battle becomes absolutely crucial to success. The weird stuff was yet to come. “Thank you LSU Tigers”.

LSU put all sorts of touches on the day to make it feel as much like a home game as possible for the visitors from flood-ravaged South Carolina. South Carolina held Fournette to 3.3 yards per carry in the first 30 minutes and went to the locker room trailing just 17-10.

As with any of LSU’s victories this season, it wasn’t flawless. The SEC limits road teams to travel only 70 players, and that rule applied to LSU as the “visitor” in its home stadium.

Derrius Guice provided most of the highlight reel runs in the game, and he also cruised past the century mark. It is believed to be the first time LSU has worn that combination with its traditional purple tops. “He made a few good passes in the second half”. Bill Franques, the PA announcer at Alex Box Stadium, filled in for Borne.

The Gamecocks (2-4, 0-4 SEC) started second-string quarterback Perry Orth, who led the offense down the field on an impressive opening drive, but had to settle for a field goal.

“Everyone in the area was very welcoming”, Orth said.
