Matt McMahon and his squad deserved this one.
These Tigers have shown fight all season long but more often than not they just couldn’t make the crucial plays to score some confidence-building wins. Think of the rallies on the road against Georgia and Florida that came up just short, or the fight they put up at home against Texas A&M and Alabama inside the PMAC.
But on Saturday LSU finally broke through and scored the biggest win of the Matt McMahon era: a 64-63 win over the No. 11 South Carolina Gamecocks in Columbia.
It wasn’t easy, but beating a top-15 team on the road isn’t supposed to be.
