BATON ROUGE, La. — Garrett Nussmeier passed for 254 yards and two touchdowns, LSU's defense contained South Carolina's LaNorris Sellers, and the 11th-ranked Tigers overcame three turnovers to defeat the Gamecocks 20-10 on Saturday night.

“We found a way to win, even though we had some mistakes out there that could at some time be catastrophic,” LSU coach Brian Kelly said. “The bottom line is: against an SEC opponent, we held them to 10 points and really, except for our own mistakes, we controlled the flow of the game.”

The victory arguably should have been easier for LSU (5-1, 2-1 SEC), which twice lost the ball right at the South Carolina goal line on a fumble and an interception. The first of Nussmeier's two interceptions also occurred on the Gamecocks' side of the field.
