LSU Celebrations During Win Over Alabama Set off Seismograph

LSU pulled off an earth-shaking win over Alabama in Baton Rouge over the weekend, outlasting the Crimson Tide in an overtime thriller to gain the upper hand in the SEC West.

No, seriously. The Earth shook in the closing stages of LSU’s upset victory on Saturday evening in Death Valley.

According to measurements taken by LSU College of Science seismograph, multiple celebrations by the crowd in Tiger Stadium registered on the Richter scale. The first peak came on Jayden Daniels’s 25-yard scramble to the end zone on LSU’s first offensive play of overtime, which pulled the Tigers to within one point of Alabama.
