During a football game, Maryland wasted a timeout to avoid a delay of game penalty from their own inch line. LSU played against Georgia State, with LSU leading 35-14 at halftime and eventually winning 56-14. LSU's quarterback, Daniels, had an impressive performance, with 413 yards and 6 touchdown passes. The game ended with LSU going 8-3 and preparing for their next match against Texas A&M.
AC gets the Deacs within 1. LSU calls timeout with a minute left and the ball.
So I guess LSU called a timeout first!
Deacs down 2 with 25 secs left. LSU ball.
First FG of the 2nd half for LSU comes with 12 minutes to go.
Why did they call that timeout?!?
FINAL in Death Valley #LSU 56 Georgia State 14 Tigers go to 8-3 going into next Saturday's regular-season finale with Texas A&M (11 a.m., ESPN).
After a review, it is 8 TDs for Daniels. Nabers' 40-yd catch stands. 55-14 #LSU, 8:59 left. Daniels: 25 of 30, 413 yds, 6 TDs passing; 10 car, 96 yds, 2 TDs rushing.
That's the end of 3 in Tiger Stadium #LSU 42 Georgia State 14 Tigers have 4th and goal at the 1 to start the fourth.
Halftime in Tiger Stadium #LSU 35 Georgia State 14 GSU kicks off to start the 2nd half.
Daniels looks right, then left and finds Kyrey Lacy in the end zone for the 13-yard TD pass to put #LSU up 35-14 just before halftime. Five TDs on five drives for the Tigers, who finally put daylight between themselves and Georgia State with :23 left before halftime.
Daniels with another 32-yard strike to Lacy. He now has 326 yards total offense. In the half. #LSU has 335 total.
#LSU from its 40. 1:03 left. 1 time out. Hmmm.
GSU comes up a yard short of the mark. #LSU calls its 2nd T.O. on fourth-and-1 with 1:08 left. GSU going for it at its 34.
Brian Kelly runs out to call time out, #LSU's 1st, with 1:14 left. Georgia State has 3rd-and-13 from its 22.
After review, the TD stands. It was closer than it first looked, but he broke the plane. And anyway, it was a helluva throw by Daniels that traveled almost 50 yards in the air. 14th TD catch for Thomas, who came in leading the FBS. 28-14 #LSU, 2:26 2Q.
Georgia State goes for it on 4th-and-7 but Grainger's pass in the end zone for Robert Lewis falls incomplete. He was a bit open, but #LSU pressure may have forced a bit of an early throw. Tigers take over at their 30 up 21-14 2Q, 2:36 left.
Daniels with a strike down the middle to Kyren Lacy for a 27-yard TD pass. Ramos, who now is 62-62 on PATs (had a bad stat earlier) makes it 21-14 #LSU, 10:00 2Q.
Marcus Carroll breaks a 44-yard TD run for Georgia State to tie #LSU up again 14-14, 12:45 2Q. So if there was any question whether Jayden and the offense would have to keep the hammer down, it's been answered by the Tigers' woeful defense.
End 1st quarter in Tiger Stadium: #LSU 14 Georgia State 7 Panthers will have 2nd-and-6 at their 29 after the break.
Bad punt by Georgia State gives #LSU great field position at its 47 after a 27-yard return by Javen Nicholas. Punt only went 30 yards. 7-7, 4:04 1Q.
GSU chooses to run on third-and-16 but the Panthers only get 7. Punt! #LSU
Holding puts Georgia St. behind the chains. Third-and-16 at the Panthers' 43. #LSU
From the 18, Daniels with a play action dart to Malik Nabers near the goal line and he's in for the score. Ramos' ties it up with his 60th PAT of the season. #LSU 7 Georgia State 7 9:20 1Q
On third and 6 from his 29, Daniels runs right, gives an "Ole!" move to a defender and gets to the 38 for the first down. #LSU
Touchback. Daniels and #LSU start from their 25.
#LSU touchback. Georgia State starts from its 25.
