As a result of spectators throwing debris on the field in their defeat to the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday night, the LSU Tigers have been fined $250,000 by the SEC according to a statement from the conference Monday night.
This was one-of-two fines handed out by the conference Monday, as LSU joined Ole Miss, was also fined $350,000 for storming the field after their upset win over the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday.
As for LSU, the incident occurred during the second half of Alabama’s 42-13 win over the Tigers on Saturday night, taking place during the third quarter on a play where Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Milroe was sacked.
