COLLEGE STATION, Texas _ They poured over the barrier between the stands and the field, sprinted across the sideline and leaped in the air after the last snap of the game.
Even after seven overtimes, the majority of those inside Kyle Field still had the energy to celebrate one of the most improbable victories in Texas A&M history.
The No. 22 Aggies defeated No. 7 LSU, 74-72, on Saturday night in a historic game for both programs. The two teams combined for 1,017 yards, 197 plays and one evening nobody in College Station will forget.
The Aggies secured the victory when A&M sophomore quarterback Kellen Mond hit Kendrick Rogers for the game-winning 2-point conversion. Mond finished with 287 yards and six touchdowns. Rogers had three catches for 53 yards and two touchdowns.
The win snapped A&M's seven-game losing streak to LSU (8-4, 5-3 SEC), including six straight defeats since the Aggies (8-4, 5-3) joined the conference before the 2012 season.
All of the madness at College Station was set up by a ridiculous ending.
On the final play of regulation, A&M sophomore quarterback Mond found sophomore wide receiver Quartney Davis, who leaped in the air and caught a 19-yard touchdown pass that set up overtime.
Initially, the clock inside Kyle Field read all zeros during A&M's final drive. But replay officials ruled a second remained.
It was the second big break the Aggies received on the final drive. Earlier, it appeared LSU defensive back Grant Delpit intercepted Mond. But after LSU coach Ed Orgeron was doused with a cooler, a replay review showed Mond's knee was on the ground before the pass while he picked up the ball.
Earlier in the game, it appeared LSU was going to win thanks to a big play from LSU's Devin White.
A&M was ahead 24-17 when White yanked the ball out of A&M junior running back Trayveon Williams' hands. LSU's Michael Divinity scooped up the ball and returned it for a 58-yard touchdown that flipped the momentum.
A&M punted on its next drive and LSU responded by taking a 31-24 lead, one that appeared good enough to hold for the rest of regulation.
Up until LSU's defensive touchdown, the Aggies were on their way to showing why Jimbo Fisher was hired as A&M's coach last December.
When the university hired Fisher to a mammoth 10-year, $75 million deal at the end of last season, he was given a simple task _ accomplish things that A&M has not experienced in decades.
One of the items on that checklist was beating LSU, a team that bested the Aggies during each conference meeting, including the first two games against A&M's Heisman-winning quarterback, Johnny Manziel.
With Manziel in attendance, LSU seemed destined to foil A&M's opportunity to pick up a win a defining victory in Fisher's first year. The Tigers had all the momentum after White and Divinity combined for the defensive touchdown.
But Mond rallied the Aggies for a massive drive in the final 1:29 of regulation. He threw three straight completions when A&M needed him the most, including a 22-yard pass to Rogers that set up the game-tying play.
LSU was set to foil A&M's opportunity to pick up a win a defining victory in Fisher's first year. After losing the lead in regulation, LSU battled back to force overtime after overtime.
But LSU couldn't withstand the seventh and final extra period, one that will be remembered long after Saturday night.
