With the game on the line, LSU took over at the 25-yard line in the first overtime, trailing longtime rival Ole Miss, 26-23. That didn’t last long.
It was the Tigers’ turn with the ball and on their first snap, wide receiver Kyren Lacy took a scoring strike from quarterback Garrett Nussmeier to secure the come-from-behind win, 29-26.
Lacy’s winning catch has been chosen as the U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish “Catch of the Week.”
Things had looked bleak for LSU in Tiger Stadium. There was under a minute left in the fourth quarter and quarterback Garrett Nussmeier was not having his best game. But in the final seconds, Nussmeier threw a tying touchdown pass, setting the stage for the overtime heroics.
For the game, Lacy hauled in five passes for 111 yards, including the winning touchdown. Nussmeier threw for 337 yards and three scores, including the two dramatic completions to close out the game.
Remember … for the tailgate tent or the pre-game party, U. S. Farm-Raised Catfish is always “the winning catch.”
The Catfish Institute, or TCI, was formed in 1986 by catfish farmers and feed manufacturers to raise consumer awareness of the positive qualities of U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish. Since its formation, U.S. per capita consumption has more than doubled.
U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish is a sustainable and environmentally friendly seafood product. The National Audubon Society, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Environmental Defense all recommend U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish as a safe environmental choice. To find out more, visit www.uscatfish.com.
