LSU and Florida State’s Week 1 showdown was arguably one of the most ridiculous games in recent college football history, with the game going down to the very final second. This game had it all—a pair of costly turnovers in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter, a frantic 99-yard drive by Louisiana State to score a touchdown with one second remaining, and a blocked field goal to seal the victory.
Here is all you need to know about Florida State’s incredible triumph. Two plays later, Kayshon Boutte was in the end zone and Daniels came close to connecting with him, but the throw was incomplete. An incorrect snap that flew over Daniels’ head caused the Tigers to be forced back, giving LSU a 3-0 advantage over Florida State.
The Seminoles appeared to have run out of steam after moving only 38 yards in 13 plays. Before Mike Norvell came up with a novel idea and dialed up the double reverse lateral back to Travis, who connected with Ontaria Wilson for a TD bomb of 39 yards, that is. Early on, FSU did a fantastic job of blending the run and pass options, opting for the long pass after attempting to run behind Treshaun Ward to open the second.
The away team’s offense struggled to settle in against the Seminoles’ front pass pressure despite the Tigers’ aggressive attitude to the game’s opening. The unit frequently disrupted LSU’s timing by shrinking the pocket before Jayden Daniels had a chance to locate his receivers downfield.

Florida State mounted an unimaginable comeback against LSU to win the first match of college football season
At the halftime break, Malik Nabers made a terrible error for the LSU special teams when he fumbled a Florida State punt, which the Seminoles recovered. putting the top red-zone attack in the country in an ideal scoring position. However, a 4th and 2 pass that was incomplete put a stop to the Noles’ streak of goals in the red zone.
The Seminoles ultimately capitalized on a golden opportunity in the third quarter when Jordan Travis dropped a dime over an LSU defender for Ontaria Wilson, despite some slow offensive possessions. On a third and fourth play from the 27-yard line, the receiver produced a spectacular one-handed grab from 27 yards out.
While LSU’s offense struggled for much of the game, it managed to score when it mattered most in the fourth quarter when Jayden Daniels connected with Jaray Jenkins on a 22-yard touchdown play to cut the Seminoles’ lead to seven points.LSU was on the verge of tying the score and forcing unlikely overtime when the Seminole’s special teams came through with a thrilling block to secure a one-point victory.
The twitter folks had a lot to say about this wild ending.
Please be kind to the LSU kicker. This is not the right time for abusive criticism. The CFO of BBY just jumped to his death (18 rows up in NYC) after announcing he was laying off 20 percevr of Bed Bath and Beyond employees. We all need to stay kind.

Just smashed my TV in front of 45 guests at my sons birthday party because of the Tigers. My wife called a domestic violence helpline and now has taken our crying kids to a hotel, and now there is a warrant for my arrest . Thank to LSU my life is ruined.

Bye, I’m no longer a fan
No it isn’t. It was a blocked extra point between two teams that fell off in recent years and aren’t doing anything special this post season. Wild endings is USC vs Notre Dame 2005, Appalachian St Michigan 2007, Fiesta Bowl 2007, Texas Tech vs Texas 2008, or the 2013 Iron Bowl
