BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Garrett Nussmeier was in the midst of what the LSU quarterback considered one of the worst games of his career. His last two snaps changed everything.
Nussmeier threw a tying touchdown pass to Aaron Anderson in the final seconds of regulation and hit Kyren Lacy for a 25-yard scoring strike on No. 13 LSU's first play of overtime, completing a stunning 29-26 comeback victory over No. 9 Mississippi on Saturday night.
“Hopefully, this will be a huge growth moment for me in taking my game to the next level," Nussmeier said. “I played bad, but we had a chance to win the ball game and I had to focus on that.”
The winning score marked the first time LSU (5-1, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) led the entire game and fans streamed onto the field to celebrate a triumph that put the Tigers back in the College Football Playoff discussion.
