LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels found wide receiver Kyren Lacy for a touchdown with five seconds left in the 1st half to tie the game against Alabama at 21. Check out the throw and catch below.

Daniels continued his impressive play for LSU, totaling 301 total yards and three touchdowns in the first half. Daniels is one of the Heisman Trophy frontrunners, looking to lead the Tigers to a second straight SEC West championship.

LSU’s impressive offense outgained the Crimson Tide, 323-290, in the 1st half. Daniels’ throw to Lacy was Lacy’s first catch of the ball game. Daniels took in a rushing touchdown for the 14-14 tie before Alabama responded to take a 21-14 lead. LSU responded before the half with a massive score.

 

Alabama head coach Nick Saban knew his Crimson Tide was in for a dog fight. The two SEC West rivals went into the half tied at 21 after LSU tied it in the final seconds of the half.

“I think every game’s a little bit different,” Saban said on College Gameday. “In this game, both teams are going to want to win, a little bit like a heavyweight fight. They’re going to hit us, we’re going to hit them. They’re going to knock us down, we’ll knock them down. It’s who can sustain that. Who can sustain, and be the last man standing. Because you have the mental toughness that you need to be able to sustain, and stay in the moment.

“I think that’s one of the things — you know, we talk about being positive, but more important than being positive, you’ve got to stay in the moment. You’ve got to be able to play the next play, regardless of what happens. So you can get some consistency in performance, going against a good opponent.”
