LSU’s Kayshon Boutte, a freshman, was en route to a score against Alabama on Saturday. The only issue was the wideout dropped the ball before crossing the goal line.
Everyone realized it … except the officials.
LSU got to the scoreboard for the first time of the night in a rather unconventional manner, with a 44-yard reception by Kayshon Boutte that should have been his touchdown, but instead became Jontre Kirklin’s after Boutte dropped the ball outside of the end zone.

LSU’s Jontre Kirklin recovered the ball after Kayshon Boutte dropped it at the 1 yard line. CBS just didn’t show it. They explained it in the stadium press box. #LSUvsBAMA
