LSU vs. Florida State football score, Week 1 reactions
Florida State 24, LSU 23 (Final)
Quite possibly one of the most absurd games in recent college football history, LSU and Florida State played down to the literal last second in their Week 1 matchup.
A pair of costly fumbles late in the fourth quarter, a frenzied 99 yard drive by LSU to score a touchdown with one second left, and a blocked kick to win in the final moments, this game had everything.
Here's what you need to know from the insane Florida State victory.
LSU comes out aggressive
Daniels nearly connected with Kayshon Boutte in the end zone two plays later, but the pass fell incomplete.
LSU took the 3-0 lead over Florida State after an errant snap went over Daniels' head, pushing the Tigers back.
Injury trouble for LSU
The injury bug bit the Tigers' defense hard in the first quarter when they lost both Maason Smith and BJ Ojulari within minutes of each other.
Smith appeared to hurt his leg while celebrating a defensive play in the opening frame, while Ojulari was spotted clutching his left knee after coming into contact with Seminoles quarterback Jordan Travis.
Florida State strikes first
It looked like the Seminoles got stuck in the mud after covering just 38 yards in 13 plays.
That was, until Mike Norvell got creative, dialing up the double reverse lateral back to Travis, who connected with Ontaria Wilson for a 39 yard TD bomb.
FSU did a good job of mixing the run and pass early, calling the long pass after trying its hand at running behind Treshaun Ward to start the 2nd.
