Watch: South Carolina squanders two pick-sixes in loss to LSU

South Carolina hurt its own cause Saturday in a failed upset bid against LSU.

The Gamecocks scored the first 17 points of the game and looked poised to topple the No. 16 Tigers at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, S.C.

But LSU slowly clawed its way back to get within just 33-29 halfway through the fourth quarter. LSU had third-and-11 right at South Carolina’s 20-yard line with about six minutes left.

LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier’s pass was picked off at the end zone by safety Nick Emmanwori, who took it all the way back for a pick-six. But the South Carolina touchdown was wiped away by a call that went against defensive end Kyle Kennard.
