LSU trailed by two points with less than 3 minutes to play when Tracy Ferguson, the mother of Tigers long snapper Blake Ferguson, approached Karen Culp in the Tiger Stadium crowd.

"You know where this is going, don't you?" she asked.

Yes, she did.

The mother of LSU kicker Connor Culp knew as well as anybody that her son would soon be called upon to attempt the pressure-packed field goal.

Culp ultimately made the 42-yarder, resurrecting the Tigers' hopes on the season and overcoming a shaky start to his career in the process.

Culp missed an early season field goal and didn't play in three consecutive games before coach Ed Orgeron's blistering comments about the team's kickers the week after a home loss to Troy.
