Trey Palmer just returned the first LSU kickoff for a TD in Tiger Stadium since 1981
With LSU beating South Carolina 31-17, wide receiver Trey Palmer just did something that no Tigers player has done in Death Valley since Eric Martin did it in 1981 — return a kickoff for a touchdown.
Yes, it’s been that long.
Palmer even bobbled the kickoff attempt at first, but then he picked it up and torched South Carolina’s kickoff team en route to the 95-yard touchdown.
OK, so this is really atrocious coverage but also South Carolina has some real… non-athletes on its kickoff coverage team. pic.twitter.com/1ZfFD0uvVf
