Vanderbilt vs LSU final score, college football highlights

On By Littum

Vanderbilt football lost its second straight game, falling to LSU, 24-17, on Saturday night at Tiger Stadium.

The Commodores (6-5, 3-4 SEC) scored a touchdown on their opening drive, but had just one more touchdown the entire game, late in the fourth quarter. Despite getting within one score, Vanderbilt never got the ball back as LSU drove down near the goal line before running out the clock.

LSU (7-4, 4-3) hasn’t lost to the Commodores since 1990.

Vanderbilt hasn’t scored more than 24 points since an upset of Alabama in the first week of October.

Pavia started at quarterback for Vanderbilt, but he is not 100% after playing through several injuries during the season. He was 13-for-24 for 186 yards passing and had six rushes for 43 yards.

Vanderbilt takes on Tennessee to end the regular season with a chance to knock the Vols out of the College Football Playoff.

Vanderbilt vs LSU score updates

Fourth quarter

Vanderbilt scored the touchdown after converting a fake punt by Jesse Mirco.

On 3rd and 10, a would-be LSU touchdown was taken off the board on replay when the receiver dropped the ball before it hit the ground. The Tigers elected to kick the field goal instead, with Vanderbilt using a timeout in the process.

Third quarter

After a 4th-and-4 conversion put LSU in the red zone, Nussmeier found a wide open Kyren Lacy in the end zone for the score.

After converting a fourth down earlier on their first drive of the second half, the Commodores faced a 4th and 4 and lined up to go for it, but after LSU called a timeout, Vanderbilt decided to kick the field goal instead . Taylor, a Lou Groza Award semifinalist, made the kick.

Second quarter

After several pointless drives for both teams, including red zone fourth-down stops for both teams, Josh Williams scored his second rushing touchdown of the game to give LSU the lead.

First quarter

Vanderbilt set up the Tigers at their own 10 with a squib kick from the 50-yard line, but LSU marched down the field anyway for a touchdown, capped by a Josh Williams run from 20 yards out.

Diego Pavia, on Vanderbilt’s first play from scrimmage, found a wide open Quincy Skinner downfield for the game’s first score. The touchdown came despite a facemask call on LSU, a penalty that was overturned.
