South Carolina created the type of home field advantage on Saturday most schools dream about being able to rely on. And if anyone doubts what kind of difference that can make in a game, just look to Gamecocks head coach Shane Beamer on the sidelines.

With the No. 16 LSU Tigers in town, and South Carolina nursing a one point lead at the start of the fourth quarter, the Gamecocks fans got so rowdy that Tigers quarterback Garrett Nussmeier had a miscommunication with his center and wound up unprepared for the snap.

The ball ricocheted off his hands and fell right to the Gamecocks.

Over on the sidelines, an elated Beamer knew exactly who to thank for creating the fumble. He instantly turned around to the fans and pointed in appreciation.

Just an awesome moment in one of the day's marquee games as LSU went on to escape with a 36-33 victory.
