BATON ROUGE, La. -- If anything, Garrett Nussmeier's college career has taught him patience, whether he's waiting to lead LSU's offense or enduring one of the worst performances of his career Saturday night.

Nussmeier knows that if any time remains, he still has an opportunity to change his fortune -- and his team's. LSU's defense gave Nussmeier one final drive to reach the end zone against No. 9 Ole Miss, and then a bonus opportunity in overtime to secure an improbable win.

The quarterback capitalized on both as LSU secured its first and only lead when Nussmeier found Kyren Lacy in the end zone, capping a 29-26 win and setting off a field storm at Tiger Stadium.
