LeBron James, Jalen Ramsey and the whole sports world were in awe of what was definitely the wildest finish of the college football weekend. The Florida State Seminoles narrowly beat LSU football on Sunday, and the 24-23 scoreline certainly gave hints of the wild ending it had.
FSU had a comfortable 24-10 lead after a DJ Lundy touchdown early in the fourth quarter. However, the LSU Tigers made it quite the game after quarterback Jayden Daniels helped make it 24-17. It was then when chaos ensued after a flurry of mistakes from both teams led to the craziest finish in recent memory.
After being forced to punt the ball, FSU stepped up big time by causing a fumble on LSU's punt return. Unfortunately, the celebration didn't last long as the Seminoles fumbled at the goal-line themselves. With 80 seconds left to score from coast-to-coast, the Tigers managed to bring the ball two yards off the goal line before Daniels threw the short TD pass to Jaray Jenkins.
At 24-23 and the extra point opportunity coming their way, it looked like LSU were about to send the match to overtime. Nonetheless, FSU came up clutch when it mattered most by blocking the PAT for the victory.
