It’s easy to forget how HUGE this game was.
LSU ranked ninth at the time, but coming off a demoralizing 14-6 loss at Florida. South Carolina was 6-0 and third in the whole dang country, fresh off a 35-7 pants-ing of fifth-ranked Georgia.
This was the breakout season for Jadeveon Clowney in the midst of a 13-sack season, and LSU was down three starters on the offensive line and had fifth-year senior left tackle Josh Dworaczyk playing, basically, on one leg.
