Kristian Fulton's first LSU interception 'meant a lot' after shortened suspension

This could have been a far different Saturday for Kristian Fulton were it not for the last-ditch appeal from LSU that caused the NCAA in August to reverse a ruling that would have kept the junior cornerback suspended for another season.

But then this wasn't like any other Saturday in Tiger Stadium. Fulton was in the right place Saturday (Oct. 13) to complete a diving interception of a pass from out of the Georgia end zone in the third quarter of No. 13 LSU's 36-16 beating of the No. 2 Bulldogs.

Fulton dived to his left and toward the middle of the field while in close coverage with a Georgia receiver and somehow cradled the football with his right arm as he landed with his left arm on the turf.
