GAINESVILLE, Fla. - When LSU kicker Josh Jasper was told he would be faking a field goal on fourth-and-three from the Florida 36 with 35 seconds to go Saturday night, he quickly told holder Derek Helton.  "He was as surprised as I was," Jasper said.  A field goal would have tied the game 29-29 with overtime near.  Instead, seconds later, Helton caught the snap and flipped it over his shoulder to Jasper running behind him. The ball bounced but right into the hands of Jasper, who gained 5 yards to the Florida 31. Four plays later, quarterback Jarrett Lee hit receiver Terrance Toliver for a 3-yard touchdown with six seconds to go and the No. 9 Tigers defeated No. 12 Florida 33-29.  "It was just a great call," Jasper said. "We call it, 'Tiger.' We practice that all the time."  At first, LSU coach Les Miles wanted Jasper to kick a 53-yard field goal to try to force overtime. But he had to call timeout in order to avoid a penalty for delay of game. During the timeout as his team huddled around him on the sideline, Miles changed his mind and called the fake.  Only problem was Jasper and Helton were not in the huddle. Jasper was practicing kicking on the sidelines, and Helton was practicing his hold.  "There was still plenty of time, but I didn't know it was a fake until we were back on the field, and I looked over and saw Coach Rob," Jasper said. "He yelled, 'Tiger.' He waved me down and told me. Then I told Derek. He was like, 'Really? All right, let's do it.' It's amazing because neither of us were in the huddle. But we practice that play so much at practice every week, it's like it's second nature."  Never in practice, though, has Helton bounced it.  "I was just looking it and hoping it would bounce back to me," Jasper said. "It took a giant bounce right up in my hands. That's never happened."  LSU fans should not look forward to more similar fake field goals in the near future.  "We're done with that fake," Miles said. "We'll be done practicing it from now on."  -- Glenn Guilbeau, Gannett Louisiana  To report corrections and clarifications, contact Standards Editor  .
