LSU’s first touchdown the season immediately got a bit of a damper.
With 7:09 left in the second quarter, Tigers quarterback Garrett Nussmeier found Kyren Lacy on the corner near the sideline for a 19-yard touchdown with the PAT tying the game at 7.
Lacy’s speed took him into the tunnel, but it was what he did after coming out of it that forced the refs to throw laundry on the field.

After celebrating with his teammates, Lacy appeared to pretend to fire a gun at the USC defense.
Lacy was hit with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, forcing LSU to kick off from its own 20 instead of the usual 35.
Rece Davis and Kirk Herbstreit both agreed it was a “good call.”
Herbstreit said he understood the “feeling” of college players but drew the line “when you do something like that.”
Lacy did the celebration on the bench as well.

USC’s Zachariah Branch then returned the kick 46 yards past midfield as the Trojans quickly got into the end zone, though they ultimately settled for a field goal.
Lacy, a senior, began his college career at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in 2020 before transferring to LSU for the 2022 season. He started 10 of the Tigers’ 13 games last year along with now-NFL receivers Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr., who both first round picks.
Last season, he had 30 receptions for 558 yards and seven touchdowns.
This year, he expects to take on a bigger role, given the departures of Naber and Thomas.
