(Sports Network) - Stevan Ridley’s touchdown with no time remaining lifted 12th-ranked LSU to a 16-14 victory over Tennessee at Tiger Stadium.
In Progress: Tennessee Vs. No. 10 LSU
LSU appeared to have lost the game with 3rd-and-goal and the ball on the Volunteers’ two as time wound down, having no ability to stop the clock except for a spike. Jordan Jefferson was under center but the snap eluded him by a good 10 yards as the clock expired.
A wild celebration by Tennessee coaches and players was interrupted, though, as the Vols were called for having 13 men on the field during that play. LSU was given the ball on the one-yard line and no time left. Ridley then powered through the line for the winning score.
Jarrett Lee was 16-of-23 for 187 yards and one interception while Ridley finished with 122 yards on 22 carries for the Tigers, (5-0, 3-0), who face Florida at the Swamp next Saturday.
Jefferson added 100 rushing yards on five carries, including an 83-yard TD on the first play of the game. Terrence Toliver had three catches for 52 yards in the shocking victory.
Matt Simms finished 12-of-23 for 120 yards and appeared to have rushed for the winning touchdown early in the fourth quarter for the Volunteers (2-3, 0-2), who have dropped three of four.
Tauren Poole posted 110 yards and a score on 24 carries, while Gerald Jones added five receptions for 45 yards in the setback.
