Per ESPN: BATON ROUGE, La. -- — Garrett Nussmeier threw a tying touchdown pass in the final seconds of regulation and hit Kyren Lacy for a 25-yard scoring strike on No. 13 LSU's first play of overtime, completing a stunning 29-26 comeback victory over No. 9 Mississippi on Saturday night.
The winning score marked the first time LSU (5-1, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) led the entire game and fans streamed onto the field to celebrate a triumph that for now will put the Tigers back in the College Football Playoff discussion.
Nussmeier struggled much of the game, and threw two interceptions, but came alive when it mattered to finish with 337 yards and three TDs passing. Two of those touchdowns came on the last two snaps he took.
