LSU tops Gamecocks

BATON ROUGE, La. - LSU put one over on the ol' ballcoach.

The No. 2 Tigers used a fake field goal to score one touchdown and piled up 288 rushing yards to defeat Steve Spurrier and No. 12 South Carolina 28-16 on Saturday.

Midway through the second quarter, the Tigers set up for a field goal attempt from 32 yards. However, the holder, quarterback Matt Flynn flipped the ball over his shoulder to kicker Colt David, who ran it in for a touchdown run and a 21-7 halftime lead

Jacob Hester's power and Trindon Holliday's speed were key for LSU on the ground and its dominant defense did the rest with two interceptions and a pair of stops on fourth-andshort yardage situations. The defense unsettled Spurrier to the point he switched quarterbacks several times.
