LSU celebrated a fun 52-24 win over South Carolina on Saturday night in Death Valley, which led to plenty of fun moments and tweets.
One of the best things about Twitter is how schools continue to let fans in on the postgame festivities, like showing off what the winning locker room felt like after taking care of the Gamecocks.

With Myles Brennan out of action, TJ Finley was set to get the starting nod for the Tigers. Prior to the game, Finley had a chat with Brennan’s father. Later, the LSU student section began chanting Finley’s name.
As #LSUโs freshman QB leads the team toward the end zone with a 45-17 lead the student section has erupted in a โTJ Finleyโ chant.
Folks. I think we may have a new fan favorite.

It was easy to see why…
Shout out to TJ Finley. No. 11 looked great.
True freshman. First career snaps. Starting vs. an SEC team.
17-21 passing
265 yards
2 TD
1 INT (then made TD saving tackle, turned into a FG)
8 carries, 24 yards, 1 TDNever looked rattled. And he got the Tigers a convincing win.

It was probably a wise decision to get in sync with Terrace Marshall Jr.
Terrace Marshall Jr. has 2 rec TD in 4 straight games, the longest streak by a SEC player since Keenan Burton in 2006 for Kentucky.

A true freshmen in his first game made 1 bad throw , the moment NEVER looked to big for him and he adds just enough of a running threat that the defense has to honor it. ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ. Well done TJ Finely. @LSUfootball

Among the highlights in the game was Trey Palmer returning a kickoff 95 yards to the house in the third quarter. It had been a long time coming for the LSU kickoff return unit to celebrate this feeling in front of a home crowd.
