WATCH: LSU fans storm field following upset victory against Alabama

LSU fans filed out of the stands to storm the field following Saturday’s 32-31 upset victory against Alabama in overtime. After Jayden Daniels completed a pass to Mason Taylor for the two-point conversion to seal the win, the stands slowly started to get emptier while the field grew more and more crowded with celebrating fans.

The win was just the second for LSU in the past 12 contests between the two teams, and puts them in the driver’s seat of the SEC West with a chance to compete for the conference title. The Tigers are also likely to move up in the College Football Playoff rankings, as they seem to stand the best chance of any two-loss team of making it.

Alabama struggles to keep LSU fans away from sideline during field storming

As LSU football fans stormed the field following Saturday’s 32-31 overtime win against Alabama, the Crimson Tide did their best to keep their sidelines clear and players and coaches safe.

AL.com’s Michael Casagrande posted video of the scene to Twitter, showing several members of the Alabama staff directing fans away from entering the field from their sideline. Eventually, LSU event staff came in to secure the sideline, holding a yellow rope in front of the benches to prevent fans from passing through.

Casagrande also later tweeted that “a couple” of LSU fans were arrested during the field storming against Alabama. Additionally, LSU is likely to face a fine from the SEC for the field storming as is the league’s policy.

Ultimately, it didn’t appear based on the video that things got too out of hand, though it’s still unclear why the arrests were made. Fans will likely continue to celebrate into the evening and even next week as Saturday’s wins represents a huge step forward for their conference title hopes.

LSU has conference games against Arkansas and Texas A&M left on its schedule, beginning with the Razorbacks at 11 a.m. CT next Saturday in Fayetteville.
