1974 Orange Bowl Undefeated Penn State tops LSU in Orange Bowl, 16-9 The Fighting Tigers started the 40th annual Orange Bowl game as if they were going to dash Penn State’s hopes for a perfect season as they scored a touchdown on the first series of the tilt. Robert Dow returned the opening kickoff from his own threeyard line to the Tiger 49. Brad Davis then accounted for 39 yards on the drive and Steve Rogers went the final three as LSU vaulted into a 7-0 lead with less than four minutes elapsed. A costly personal foul penalty in a punting situation late in the opening period permitted the Nittany Lions to retain possession and they booted a 44-yard field goal to cut the bengal edge to four points after the first period. Midway through the second period Chuck Herd got behind the LSU defense and gathered in a long pass from quarterback Tom Shuman for a 10-7 Penn State lead. They drove 74 yards on nine plays the next time they had the ball with John Cappelletti plunging in from one yard out for the tally and Penn State’s final score of the night. A bad snap from the center which the Lions recovered in the end zone for an LSU safety closed out the scoring. LSU was plagued with poor field position all evening as the Tigers never gained possession in the plus end of the field. Davis was the leading rusher with 70 yards for the tilt while Heisman trophy winner Cappelletti, who averaged 5.3 yards per carry during the regular season, was held to 1.9 yards per try in the holiday classic. Cholly Mac’s Bengals won the battle of the statistics with 274 yards total offense to 185 for the victors and 18 first downs to nine. LSU 7 0 2 0 - 9 Penn State 3 13 0 0 - 16

LSU Caps A Decade Of Dominance Against Penn State In Capital One Bowl

LSU caps its most dominating decade of football in the history of the program when the Tigers lineup against Penn State in the Capital One Bowl on Jan. 1 in Orlando. This decade has seen the Tigers win more games (99) than any other school in the SEC with the exception of Florida (99). It’s been a decade that has seen LSU claim a pair of national championships in 2003 and 2007 along with three SEC titles (2001, 2003, and 2007). LSU has played in a bowl game each year, winning seven, four of which were BCS games. Five national award winners, 18 first-team All-Americans, six Academic All-Americans, 47 NFL Draft picks and 121 college graduates highlight a decade that has seen LSU establish itself as one of the premier football programs – on the field, in the classroom and in the community – in college athletics.

LSU To Face Penn State in Capital One Bowl

LSU Looks To Join Elite Company

LSU And The Capital One Bowl

For the 10th straight year, LSU will wrap up a football season in a bowl game as the 13th-ranked Tigers will face ninth-ranked Penn State in the Capital One Bowl on Jan. 1 in Orlando. The game will be played at Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium and will be televised nationally by ABC. Kickoff for the game is noon CST. LSU brings a 9-3 overall mark into the game, while Penn State is 10-2 overall. The contest will be just the second between the two schools and the first since a 16-9 Penn State win over the Tigers in the 1974 Orange Bowl.

A win over Penn State will put LSU in elite company in the SEC as the Tigers have a chance to join Alabama and Florida as the only teams in conference history to win at least 100 games in a decade. Alabama won 103 games during the 1970s under legendary coach Bear Bryant, while Florida won 102 games during the 1990s.

LSU is 1-1 all-time in Capital One Bowl games, beating Wake Forest in the 1979 contest (then called the Tangerine Bowl) and dropping a last-second 30-25 decision to Iowa in the 2005 game.

Tigers Go For 100th Win This Decade Against Penn State LSU will be after its 100th win this decade when the Tigers line up against Penn State in the Capital One Bowl. LSU goes into the game with a 99-30 record during from 2000-09 seasons. The 99 victories tie with Florida as the most in the SEC over that span. During the 10-year span covering the 2000-09, the Tigers have posted a 99-30 mark. Other achievements for the Tigers this decade include a pair of BCS National Championships (2003, 2007), three SEC titles (2001, 2003, 2007), and seven bowl victories, including four in BCS bowls (Sugar in 2001 and 2006; BCS Championship Game in 2003 and 2007).

LSU Makes Its 41st Bowl Appearance LSU will be making its 41st bowl appearance when the Tigers lineup against Penn State in the Capital One Bowl. The 41 appearances rank ninth nationally and fourth among SEC teams. Penn State is one spot ahead of the Tigers with 42 appearances, 35 of which have come under Joe Paterno.

Tigers Have Won 21 Bowl Games LSU goes into the Capital One Bowl having 21 bowl victories to its credit. The 21 bowl wins ranks 10th among all schools nationally and fourth among the SEC. LSU has won seven bowl games in nine attempts this decade, which includes its current four-game winning streak. LSU coach Les Miles is 4-0 in bowl games, which makes him the second-winningest coach in school history in terms of bowl victories. Charles McClendon, who coached the Tigers for 18 years, won seven bowl games in 13 tries from 1962-79.

LSU And The BCS Bowls LSU has the nation’s best winning percentage in BCS bowl games for teams with at least three appearances as the Tigers are 4-0 in BCS bowl games. Texas, at 3-0, is second on the list. LSU’s four wins in BCS games also tie with Ohio State and Florida as the second-highest total among all schools behind Southern Cal’s six victories. LSU’s BCS bowl victories have come against Illinois and Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl and Oklahoma and Ohio State in the BCS National Championship Game.

LSU Brings Nation’s Longest Non-Conference Winning Streak To Capital One Bowl At 23 Straight LSU brings the nation’s longest non-conference winning streak into the Penn State game as the Tigers have won 23 straight games against non-SEC foes. LSU coach Les Miles has guided the Tigers on all 23 of those wins and he’s a perfect 23-0 in non-conference games during his five years with the Tigers. Of the 23 wins, six have come against top 25 teams, including victories over No. 1 Ohio State in 2007, No. 9 Miami in 2005, No. 9

Virginia Tech in 2007, No. 11 Notre Dame in 2006 and No. 18 Georgia Tech last year. LSU hasn’t lost a game against a non-conference opponent since dropping a lastsecond 30-25 decision to Iowa in the 2005 Capital One Bowl.

LSU vs. Penn State – The Brief History LSU has faced Penn State only one time in its history as the Tigers dropped a 16-9 decision to the Nittany Lions in the 1974 Orange Bowl. The Tigers were coached by Charles McClendon, while Joe Paterno was in his eighth year as head coach of the Nittany Lions. The win by Penn State capped a perfect 12-0 year for the Nittany Lions that season, while LSU finished 1973 with a 9-3 mark.

Miles To Face Another National Champion Coach In Joe Paterno LSU coach Les Miles will get another shot at a national champion coach when the Tigers face Penn State and Joe Paterno in the Capital One Bowl. Paterno, who has won a pair of national titles at Penn State, will become the seventh different national champion coach that Miles has faced during his five years at LSU. Miles has won nine games at LSU over coaches who have led their teams to national titles – 2 vs. Urban Meyer, Steve Spurrier, Phillip Fulmer and 1 vs. Nick Saban, Larry Coker, and Jim Tressel. Miles is 9-4 in those games at LSU in which he’s gone

2009 Season Notebook up against a coach who has won a national title.

Miles vs. Penn State LSU coach Les Miles has never been a head coach in a game against Penn State, but he’s been involved in two contests against the Nittany Lions. Miles was the offensive line coach for the Michigan teams that faced Penn State in 1993 and 1994. Miles and Michigan beat Penn State, 21-13, at University Park, Pa., in 1993 but then dropped a 31-24 decision the following year in Ann Arbor.

LSU is 4-0 In Bowl Games Under Les Miles LSU brings a 4-0 record in bowl games under Les Miles into the Capital One Bowl. LSU’s four bowl victories include one over Ohio State in the 2008 BCS National Championship game, one over Notre Dame in the 2007 Sugar Bowl and a pair of wins in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. In its four bowl games with Miles, LSU has outscored its opponents 157-44.

Miles Is 5-1 At LSU In December/January Games LSU coach Les Miles has a 5-1 record in games played during the months of December or January. LSU has won five straight December/January games dating back to a 40-3 win over No. 9 Miami in the 2005 Chick-fil-A Bowl. LSU’s only loss under Miles during the months of December and January came in 2005 when the Tigers dropped a 34-14 decision to Georgia in the SEC Championship Game. LSU is 4-0 under Miles in bowl games and 5-1 in neutral site contests.

Miles Is Third Winningest Coach In School History With 51 wins in five years, LSU coach Les Miles is the thirdwinningest coach in school history, trailing only Charles McClendon (137 wins in 18 years) and Bernie Moore (83 wins in 13 years). Miles’ 51 wins came in five years, giving him an average of 10 wins per year with the Tigers. Miles also was the fastest to the 30, 40, and 50-win total in LSU history and addition to equaling the most wins after 50 games (41) in SEC history. Here’s a look at some of the other notable achievements for Miles during his five years with the Tigers:

• Only coach in LSU history to beat Auburn, Florida and Alabama in same season - and he’s done it twice (2005 and 2007). • Only first-year coach in SEC history to lead team to league’s title game (2005). • Has 9 wins over coaches who have won national titles • Coached LSU to 10-plus wins in three straight seasons - a first at the school. • Only coach in LSU history to lead Tigers to three straight top five final rankings (2005, 2006, 2007). • Only second coach in LSU history to lead Tigers to bowl appearances in each of the first five years. • Is 4-0 in bowl games.

Miles 8-7 Against Top 10 Teams; 18-10 vs. Top 25 Opponents LSU coach Les Miles has eight wins over top 10 teams and 18 victories over top 25 teams during his career with the Tigers. LSU is 1-2 vs. top 25 teams this year. Miles and the Tigers won a school-record seven games against top 25 teams in 2007, which included a perfect 3-0 mark against top 10 teams.

With Win Over Georgia, Miles Has Victories Over Every SEC Team With the win over Georgia, LSU coach Les Miles has recorded at least one victory over every team in the SEC. In addition, Miles has faced 46 different teams during his head coaching career and he’s beaten all but one of them. The only team that Miles has played as a head coach and yet to beat is Texas.

Black Named Third Team AP All-American, Peterson Second Team All-American By Sporting News Senior offensive tackle Ciron Black was named an Associated Press Third-Team All-American. LSU has produced at least one AP All-American for the fourth straight season and the seventh time in the past nine seasons. Black has started 52 consecutive games at offensive tackle for LSU. Cornerback Patrick Peterson was tabbed as a Second-Team All-America by Sporting News. In his first full season as a

starter for the Tigers, Peterson was also named First-Team All-Southeastern Conference by ESPN.com as well as being a second-team pick by both the Associated Press and the SEC Coaches.

Black Claims SEC’s Jacobs Trophy Ciron Black was named the recipient of the 2009 SEC Jacobs Blocking Trophy, presented annually to the league’s top blocker since 1935. Black became the fifth Tiger in school history to claim the award and the first since All-American Alan Faneca did so in 1997. Black has started 52 consecutive games at left tackle for LSU, tying a school record for consecutive starts set by Andrew Whitworth. LSU’s other Jacobs Trophy winners include, Billy May (1936), J.W. Brodnax (1958), Robert Dugas (1978) and Alan Faneca (1997).

Five Tigers Named To AP All-SEC Team, Four Named To Coaches AllSEC Squad Five Tigers were named to the Associated Press All-SEC Teams and four players earned spots on the Coaches All-SEC Teams in postseason awards that were announced by the league office. Senior offensive guard Ciron Black was named to the AP and Coaches First Team. Senior wide receiver Brandon LaFell, sophomore cornerback Patrick Peterson and junior safety Chad Jones earned spots on the AP and Coaches Second Team. Senior return specialist Trindon Holliday was an honorable mention selection on the AP team. LSU has placed 16 players on the AP All-SEC First Team since 2005 and 24 players on the first and second teams since head coach Les Miles’ first season. LSU has now placed 16 players on the Coaches’ All-SEC First Team since 2005 and has combined for a total of 29 players on the first and second teams since Les Miles was named head coach. LSU has placed at least one player on the First Team All-SEC offense dating back to 2000.

Cap and Gown Tigers – Eight Current Tigers Have Earned Their Diploma Eight current Tigers go into the Penn State contest having already earned their college degree. Five Tigers graduated on Dec. 18 – OT Ciron Black (general studies), LB Harry Coleman (general studies), LB Jacob Cutrera (general studies), WR Brandon LaFell (general studies) and OG Lyle Hitt (kinesiology). DE Rahim Alem (liberal arts) graduated in December of 2008, while WR R.J. Jackson (general studies) graduated in August of 2009 and DT Charles Alexander (general studies) graduated in May of 2009. Of the eight graduates, seven are starters for the Tigers.

LaFell Moving Up The LSU Career Record Books - 2nd In Career TDs and 3rd in Receptions Senior WR Brandon LaFell has impacted the LSU record books in his senior season. LaFell is second in LSU career history with 24 receiving touchdowns. He enters his final collegiate game two touchdowns shy of tying the record held by Dwayne Bowe with 26. In addition, LaFell ranks third in LSU history in receptions with 170 and he’s fifth in LSU history in receiving yards with 2,430. LaFell has caught 10 TD passes this year which ties for the second-highest single-season total in school history. He is two scores away from tying Bowe’s record of 12 in 2006). Wendell Davis holds the school record for career receptions with 183, while Josh Reed is the record holder in receiving yards with 3,001.

Despite Injury, “Chuck The Truck” Moves Up To No. 6 In LSU Career Rushing Senior RB Charles Scott moved into sixth place on LSU’s all-time rushing list with 83 yards against Alabama. Scott ran his career total to 2,317 yards. Scott ranks fourth in LSU history in rushing TDs with 32 and he’s fourth in school history in 100-yard games with eight. Scott will miss the remainder of the regular season with an injury (collar bone).

2009 Season Notebook LSU’s Four Linebackers Leading The Tigers On Defense LSU’s four linebackers - Kelvin Sheppard, Harry Coleman, Perry Riley, and Jacob Cutrera - have emerged as the leaders of an LSU defense that has become one of the best in the SEC. Sheppard, who recorded doublefigure tackles in three straight games against Florida, Auburn, and Tulane, leads LSU and ranks third in the SEC with 103 tackles followed by Riley with 94, Coleman with 77 and Cutrera with 74. LSU’s four linebackers have combined for 27.5 tackles for losses, five sacks, 10 pass breakups and five forced fumbles.

A Unique Situation At Left Tackle - 2 Players Have Accounted For Last 103 Starts Starting left tackle Ciron Black goes into the Penn State game having started 52 straight games, all coming at left tackle. Since the start of the 2002 season, a stretch that spans 104 games,

only two players have started at left tackle for the Tigers Black and Andrew Whitworth. Whitworth, now a starting tackle for the Cincinnati Bengals, set an LSU record by starting 52 straight games for the Tigers from 2002-05. Black then picked up where Whitworth left off, tying Whitworth’s school-record by starting the next 52 games. Black will break the school record for career starts (53) and consecutive starts (53) when he takes the field against Penn State. Black’s 52 straight starts ranks as the second-longest active streak in college football.

Two Brothers Start For Tigers On Defense -- Alem and Jones LSU had two brothers starting on defense against Washington in the season-opener as DE Rahim Alem (formerly Al Jones) and FS Chad Jones both started. It is the first time brothers started in the same game for the Tigers since 2005 when FB Kevin Steltz and S Craig Steltz both started in a win over Appalachian State.

An Offseason of National Championships for Chad Jones and Trindon Holliday Free safety Chad Jones and running back/return specialist Trindon Holliday became national champions during the football off-season. Jones was an outfielder and key relief pitcher for LSU’s 2009 College World Series champion baseball team. Jones maintained a 2.70 ERA in 6.2 innings pitched, while walking three and striking out seven. He tossed three innings and did not allow a run or a hit in three appearances at the College World Series, which earned him the nickname “Dreadlocks of Doom”. Jones came on in relief of starter Anthony Ranaudo in the deciding Game 3 of the CWS Championship Series against Texas and was brilliant. He did not allow a run in 1.2 innings of work, while walking none and striking out two. Prior to spring football practice, Jones played in the outfield and batted .343 (12-for-35) with a homer, six RBI

and eight runs scored. Along with former WR Jared Mitchell, Jones and he became just the second and third athletes in school history to win national titles in multiple team sports. Both were members of the 2007 BCS national championship team. Holliday, meanwhile, became the 100-meter dash national champion at the 2009 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Holliday clocked 10.00 in the national final of the 100-meter to claim the title. The time was the fastest of any player in the history of college football.

Jefferson Youngest Starting QB In SEC; Youngest LSU QB To Start Season-Opener Since 1945 LSU’s Jordan Jefferson is the youngest starting quarterback in the SEC. Jefferson was 19 years and 11 days old when he took the first snap against Washington. Jefferson was the youngest quarterback to start a season-opener for the Tigers since Y.A. Tittle in 1945. That year, Tittle was 18 years, 11 months and 6 days when LSU opened the season against Rice. Here’s a look at some of the younger quarterbacks who started season-openers at LSU:

He Must Be A Former Lineman One look at LSU’s results in relation to rushing the football and it’s easy to figure out that head coach Les Miles is a former offensive lineman. In 65 games under Miles, LSU’s success is easy to predict when it comes to net rushing yards. Get to 100 yards rushing and LSU will more than likely win as the Tigers are 47-5 under Miles when that happens. Hold the opponent to fewer than 100-yards and the Tigers are 31-3. An even more telling stat is that when LSU rushes for 100-plus yards and holds the opponents to fewer than 100-yards, the Tigers are 30-0. The following is a look at LSU’s rushing numbers during the Miles era and have the Tigers have fared in those games: Year

Tiger fans line North Stadium Drive in preparation to see the LSU football team walk down Victory Hill. A little over an hour before kickoff, the Golden Band From Tigerland’s march follows and sets the scene for one of college football’s greatest traditions.

“I’d been warmed prior to my first visit to Baton Rouge that the legendary Death Valley mystique was a myth. The assessment couldn’t have been more wrong. Tiger Stadium was as loud as any I’ve heard during the dramatic fourth quarter of Saturday’s Georgia game, the festivities surrounding it as advertised. The streets were lined with purple and gold. Smoke emanated from the grills in the parking lot. Shouts of “Go Tigers” and “Tiger Bait” echoed from the stadium deep into the heart of the campus. And that was just Friday night.” - Stewart Mandel, SI.com; Sept. 21, 2003 26

Tailgating at LSU

LSU INTRO NOTEBOOK

The LSU tailgating experience is second to none. The campus becomes one of the biggest and best parties in the nation on a Saturday afternoon. Each weekend, an estimated 120,000 fans gather to tailgate around campus in recreation vehicles, sport utility vehicles, pick-up trucks, cars and buses. The anticipation begins as they roll into town on Thursday night and fire up the grills on Friday afternoon.

COACHES TIGERS review THE SEASON History

A COLLEGE FOOTBALL EXPERIENCE LIKE NO OTHER The menu of choice provides some of the best food in the world. Tiger fans revel in the unique cuisine that is cooked on a Saturday afternoon, including world famous jambalaya, boudin, gumbo, red beans and rice, shrimp creole, crawfish etouffee, chicken and fried alligator. The aroma of seasoned boiled crawfish and shrimp fills the campus creating a flavor and flair unlike any tailgating experience in the nation.

“Nothing like tailgating on the Bayou. LSU is my personal favorite. Maybe it’s my penchant for the spicy stuff. But there’s nothing like sampling a little gumbo, a little jambalaya and then diving face-first into a shrimp boil. The aroma just walking through the parking lot to Tiger Stadium stays with you the whole day, and the LSU fans get there early and stay late.” - Chris Lowe, ESPN.com; Sept. 26, 2008 Motorhomes line the parking lots around Tiger Stadium and the LSU campus the night before kickoff.

The facility features four 100-yard football practice fields as well as an indoor practice facility. On Sept. 9, 2002, LSU formally named its football practice facility for Charles McClendon, the winningest football coach in school history. McClendon, a member of the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame, served as head coach at LSU for 18 seasons, a span that saw the Tigers play in 13 bowl games, compiling a 137-59-7 overall mark. He was named SEC Coach of the Year twice, in 1969 and 1970, and National Coach of the Year in 1970. In the spring of 2009, Momentum Field Turf by Sport Exe was installed on one of the four fields. The field, courtesy of the donation by Scott and Espe Moran, allows the Tigers to simulate outdoor conditions they will see in road games at Washington and Ole Miss this season.

* - The nine wins over coaches who have won a national title came against Philip Fulmer (twice), Urban Meyer (twice), Larry Coker, Steve Spurrier (twice), Nick Saban and Jim Tressel.

It has been said that LSU is in the midst of the Golden Era of football at the school and head coach Les Miles has been the driving force behind the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; continued dominance at the national level since his arrival in 2005. In five years at LSU, Miles has led the charge in what has been the best run in the history of football at the school. Since taking over the program in January 2005, Miles has led LSU to a national title, a Southeastern Conference championship, two appearances in the SEC Championship Game, three-straight top-five finishes, and four bowl victories, two of which were BCS contests.

Les Miles Bio Throw in 51 victories and three seasons of at least 11 victories and that makes for the best five-year stretch of football in school history. Miles goes into the Capital One Bowl one victory shy of leading LSU to a fourth-straight 10 win season, something that only had been accomplished six times in modern day school history prior to his arrival in 2005. Miles became the third-winningest coach in LSU history in 2009 with 51 victories, which moved him past Nick Saban (48 wins) and Paul Dietzel (46). Miles’ record with the Tigers is an astonishing 51-14 with those victories representing the most by any LSU football coach over a five-year span. In addition to his 51 wins, some other notable accomplishments during his five years with the Tigers include: only coach in LSU history to beat Auburn, Florida and Alabama in same season - and he’s done it twice (2005 and 2007); only first-year coach in SEC history to lead team to league’s title game (2005); nine wins over coaches who have won national titles; only coach in LSU history to lead the Tigers to three-straight top-five final rankings (2005, ’06, ’07); and a perfect 4-0 record in bowl games, which includes wins in the BCS Championship Game and the Sugar Bowl. LSU’s success under Miles hasn’t been just on the playing field as the Tigers have also excelled in the classroom as well as being active participants within the community. With an approach that demands his players strive for excellence and pursue an education while representing the University in first-class fashion, the response by the players has been overwhelming. In addition to averaging more than 10 wins for the past five years, the Tigers have had 66 players earn a spot on the SEC Academic Honor Roll with another 91 earning their college diploma. Ten players on the 2009 squad will have graduated by the time the Tigers line up to face Penn State on Jan. 1 in the Capital One Bowl with the remainder of the class on pace to graduate in either the spring or summer of 2010. Sixteen of the 18 seniors on the 2008 team have graduated, while 18 members of the 25-man senior class from the 2007 national championship team have earned their degree. The Tigers also played an instrumental role in the recovery efforts following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, two of the most devastating natural disasters to hit the Louisiana coast. On the field, the Tigers have produced 25 NFL Draft picks over the past four years, including a school-record four first-round picks in the 2007 draft. In 2007, senior defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey became the most decorated defender in school history, winning four national awards – the Lombardi, Outland, Nagurski and Lott Trophies – as well as being named the SEC Defensive Player of the Year and a consensus All-American. A year later, Tyson Jackson became the highest drafted defensive player in LSU history, going No. 3 overall to the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, with the Tigers becoming the first

school in the country to have won two BCS National Championships, the foundation for the LSU football program continues to be solid. After 51 wins, including 18 over foes ranked among the nation’s top 25, and with four-straight recruiting classes tabbed among the top 10 in the country, including the nation’s No. 1 class in 2009, Miles and the Tigers have solidified their standing as one of college football’s premier programs.

The LSU Years

Les Miles was named LSU’s 32nd head football coach on Jan. 3, 2005, and his impact with the program was immediate as he directed the Tigers to an 11-2 mark in his first year. That 11-2 record in 2005 served as the starting point for the best five-year stretch of football in school history, one that has seen the Tigers win more games than all but one school in the SEC during that span. Going into the 2010 Capital One Bowl, Miles’ record with LSU is 51-14, which includes a 27-13 mark in SEC regular season games. He’s also won 18 games against top 25 teams and eight against teams in the top 10. On 13 different occasions, Miles has led the Tigers to a comeback win in either the fourth quarter or overtime. The Tigers capped a sub-par 2008 regular season by LSU standards with a 38-3 win over 14th-ranked Georgia Tech in the Chick-fil-A Bowl, setting the stage for a 9-win regular season in 2009. The Tigers managed to win nine games, highlighted by its first road win over Georgia since 1987 and a 31-10 trouncing over Auburn, in the rugged SEC despite losing their top three running backs at various points during the season to injury. With a first-year starter at quarterback, LSU won its first five games and climbed as high as No. 4 in the nation in 2009. Of LSU’s three losses, two came against teams ranked No’s. 1 and 3 in the country. After two of the most successful seasons in school history in 2005 and 2006, Miles again led the Tigers to a season of firsts in 2007. LSU became the first school in the Bowl Championship Series era to claim a second BCS National Title with its 38-24 win over Ohio State. LSU’s first BCS title came in 2003 when the Tigers beat Oklahoma, 21-14. With a 12-2 final record in 2007, the Tigers became the first team in school history to win at least 10 games in threestraight years. The 2007 Tigers also set the school record for wins over top 25 teams (7), won the SEC Championship with a backup quarterback and were ranked No. 1 in the BCS Standings during the regular season for the first time in school history. LSU finished the year ranked No. 1 in the nation in both the USA Today Coaches Poll and the AP Poll. The road to the 2007 SEC title was anything but easy for the Tigers as LSU faced a total of seven top 25 teams, winning six of those games. After spending most of the season ranked among the top three teams in

LSU Football • 2010 Capital one bowl

the nation, including a four-week stay at No. 1, the Tigers quickly found out that they had a target on their back each week. Time after time, week after week, LSU was getting the best shot from their opponents. It didn’t help matters that LSU played key stretches of its season with injuries to standout players. Star wideout Early Doucet missed five games; quarterback Matt Flynn wasn’t healthy for close to a month; and AllAmerican Glenn Dorsey played hurt for the final five games of the regular season. Still, LSU, with outstanding depth and a will to overcome adversity, found a way to win. Four times in 2007 the Tigers had to come from behind in the fourth quarter to win games, including its 21-14 victory over Tennessee in the SEC Championship Game. LSU scored a touchdown with a second left to beat Auburn at home and then followed that by scoring two touchdowns in the final three minutes of the Alabama game to record a comeback win over the Crimson Tide. Against top 10-ranked Florida, LSU scored with just over a minute left, capping a drive that saw the Tigers convert on a pair of fourth down attempts, to beat the defending national champions, 28-24, in Tiger Stadium. Perhaps its best game of the season came in week 2 when a completely healthy LSU squad dominated No. 9 Virginia Tech in all phases of a 48-7 victory. LSU didn’t lose a game in regulation during the 2007 regular season, falling to both Kentucky and Arkansas in triple overtime. When it mattered most, playing without an injured Flynn, the Tigers overcame the adversity that followed in the wake of weeklong media speculation leading up to the SEC Championship Game about Miles perhaps leaving LSU to take the head coaching position at Michigan. In the end, Miles remained true to his word, staying at LSU and leading the Tigers to a 21-14 win over Tennessee in the SEC

the fourth time this decade that the Tigers were victorious in a BCS bowl, the most of any SEC school.

another year full of milestones and firsts as he guided the Tigers to another 11-2 overall record, culminating with a 41-14 dismantling of 11th-ranked Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. The Tigers finished their second year under the direction of Miles ranked No. 3 in the nation, marking the first time since the 1958-59 seasons that LSU was ranked in the top five in the country in back-to-back years. LSU’s at-large berth in a BCS bowl was a first in school history and also represented the third time this decade that the Tigers ended their season in the Sugar Bowl. In 2006, Miles became the first coach in LSU history to lead the Tigers to back-to-back 10-win seasons, something that he added to with another 10-plus win season in 2007. He became the first LSU coach since Jerry Stovall in 1982 to beat two top 10-ranked teams on the road in the same season as the Tigers posted a 28-24 win over No. 8 Tennessee in Knoxville followed by a 31-26 victory over No. 5 Arkansas in Little Rock. All four of LSU’s road game opponents were ranked in the top 10 at the time of the game, a first

in school history. The Tigers capped the 2006 season with a 41-14 win over an overmatched Notre Dame team in the Sugar Bowl, giving the Tigers their third win in a BCS game since the 2001 season. With a makeshift offensive line that featured three firsttime starters and a pair of true freshmen running backs having to plug holes in a depleted backfield, the Tigers still managed to lead the SEC in total offense (411 yards per game) and scoring offense (33.7 points per game), while ranking No. 2 in the league in rushing offense (165 yards per game). Defensively, the Tigers, despite losing three defensive linemen to the NFL Draft the year before, ranked among the top four in the nation in scoring defense, total defense and pass defense. In all, the Tigers fashioned their 11-2 record against seven teams who went on to play in bowl games as LSU’s schedule was ranked as the 12th toughest in the nation according to the NCAA. Even though the Tigers had to go on the road to face four top 10-ranked teams in 2006, year two under Miles seemed

Massive flooding followed in the wake of the storm as more than 30 LSU players had their families and their homes affected by the hurricane and Miles’ first game in Tiger Stadium against North Texas was postponed. With the LSU campus serving as the recovery center for those sick, homeless and displaced due to Hurricane Katrina, football seemed to be the farthest thing from most people’s minds. However, Miles was able to successfully manage a delicate situation, one that saw his team and coaching staff volunteer time to those in need, while still attempting to focus on football for at least two hours a day.

However, just as the Tigers began to prepare for the Sun Devils and the season opener in Tiger Stadium, it was learned that the devastation to New Orleans was much greater than originally thought. With the Maravich Center on the LSU campus serving as what would become the largest field triage unit in United States history, it was mutually decided to move the LSU-Arizona State game to Tempe. With many in Louisiana under the distress of Hurricane Katrina, the Tigers were going to have to take to the desert to face a powerful offense in their first game of the season. These were certainly trying times for everyone in the state of Louisiana, but even more so for a football coach who now had his

team carrying the banner for a state in need of a diversion. LSU football had become a release for those consumed with the hurricane. LSU even re-stated its team goals, putting playing for the state of Louisiana at the top of the list. The Tigers didn’t disappoint as Miles and his LSU team used a 28-point fourth-quarter rally to come back to beat Arizona State, 35-31, in Tempe. Now with the Arizona State game behind them, it looked as if things for the LSU football team would gradually get back to normal as the Tigers had a week off before facing Tennessee in Tiger Stadium on Sept. 24. Then, the unthinkable happened. Another storm, this one named Rita, hit southwest Louisiana, causing severe damage to more homes, leaving thousands without electricity and displacing even more Louisiana natives. The combination of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita forced LSU to again shuffle its schedule. Instead of playing Tennessee on a Saturday night in Tiger Stadium, the Tigers would now be forced to face the Volunteers on a Monday night. An emotionally drained LSU team saw a 21-0 halftime lead evaporate into a 30-27 overtime loss to the Vols. There was no coaching handbook for Miles to refer to when it came to dealing with the hurricanes and preparing a team for competition during extreme adverse conditions. Miles was on his own, forced to navigate his LSU team through a treacherous stretch of games, while also

being sympathetic to those still affected by the natural disasters. With just five days between the Tennessee loss and the Mississippi State game, Miles and the Tigers were obviously dealt an unfair hand. However, he asked his team to respond and they did. The Mississippi State contest was the starting point for a stretch of games for the Tigers that saw LSU win nine contests in nine-straight weeks of play. The 37-7 win over the Bulldogs was followed by a 34-6 road victory over Vanderbilt as the Tigers had re-established themselves as one of the nation’s elite on the football field. During what would be 11-consecutive weeks of play, the Tigers posted a win over Florida, along with overtime victories against Auburn and Alabama. In all, the Tigers beat four teams ranked among the top 15 in the nation, then a school-record four regular season victories over ranked opponents. After ten-straight weeks of play during the regular season, the Tigers fashioned a 7-1 conference mark and earned a berth in the SEC title game. Miles became the only coach in his first year in the SEC to lead his squad to the league’s title game. He also became the first coach in LSU history to beat Alabama, Auburn and Florida in the same season. Following a loss to Georgia in the league’s title game, Miles and the Tigers re-grouped, this time to beat No. 9 Miami, 40-3, in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. The win gave the Tigers 11 victories for the

year, making Miles the winningest first-year coach in school history.

Oklahoma State Years

In four short years, Miles turned the Oklahoma State football program into one that was nationally competitive, despite competing in-state against one of the country’s dominant programs. Miles honed his head coaching skills at Oklahoma State. Under Miles’ direction, the Cowboys were the only team in the nation to beat Oklahoma twice in the four-year period, and he was also the first coach in Oklahoma State history to post wins over Nebraska and Oklahoma in the same season. Miles led the Cowboys to three-straight bowl appearances, an accomplishment Oklahoma State had not achieved since Jimmy Johnson started a string of three-straight post-season games beginning in 1983. In addition, Oklahoma State’s appearance in the Cotton Bowl to cap the 2003

season marked the first time in 55 years that the Cowboys appeared in a January bowl game. Miles’ success as a collegiate head coach came by combining an explosive offensive system with that of a sound defensive scheme. In his last two years at Oklahoma State, Miles’ offenses put up a total of 857 points for an average of 34.3 points per game. As head coach at Oklahoma State, he built a consistent winner out of a program that had recorded only one winning season since 1988, and had posted a record of 13-20 in the three years prior to his arrival at OSU. After going 4-7 in his first year as head coach in 2001, he took the Cowboys to consecutive winning marks of 8-5 in 2002, 9-4 in 2003 and 7-5 in 2004. Miles led Oklahoma State to a four-year record of 28-21 for a winning percentage of 57.1, the best career winning percentage for an OSU coach since Jim Lookabaugh ended his career in Stillwater in 1949.

LSU In 2004, Miles took Oklahoma State as high as No. 15 in the country with five wins to open the season. The 2004 season included road wins at UCLA, Colorado and Missouri, as the Cowboys never lost to a team outside of the top 25. In addition, his 2004 Cowboys ranked 12th in the nation in rushing, averaging 237 yards per game, and Oklahoma State was among the national leaders in scoring offense with 32.3 points a contest. Oklahoma State’s 2003 season was highlighted by victories over eventual Big 12 Champion Kansas State and a bowl-bound Texas Tech squad. Miles and his Cowboys won seven straight in 2003 after a season opening loss at Nebraska, and finished the season with backto-back victories. The seven consecutive victories marked the longest winning streak by an Oklahoma State team since 1949 when the Cowboys posted a perfect 9-0 record. Miles’ 2003 Oklahoma State team featured one NFL First Round Draft pick in wide receiver Rashaun Woods and second round selection in running back Tatum Bell as the Cowboy offensive attack featured both a 1,000-yard rusher (Bell) and a 1,000-yard receiver (Woods). Miles was the 2002 Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year after directing his second Oklahoma State team to an 8-5 record and the school’s first bowl appearance since 1997. In 2002, Miles’ Cowboy offense set the school standard for passing offense (259 yards per game), while averaging 403.3 yards of offense per game, the fourthhighest total at the school. The Cowboys, who averaged 34.4 points per game, closed the 2002 season with wins in six of their last seven games, including a 38-28 victory over then-No. 3 ranked Oklahoma in the regularseason finale. The Cowboys capped the 2002 season with a 33-23 win over Southern Miss in the Houston Bowl.

Assistant Coach Years

Prior to his tenure as head coach at Oklahoma State, Miles was the tight ends coach for the Dallas Cowboys for three seasons from 1998-2000. During his three years with the Cowboys, Dallas won one divisional title while participating in the playoffs

twice. In Dallas, Miles learned of LSU and the charm of the school from tight end David LaFleur, who starred for the Tigers in the 1990s. In three years of coaching tight ends for the Cowboys, Miles’ players combined for 136 receptions for 1,287 yards and 16 touchdowns. LaFleur, a former LSU All-America selection, had his best year under Miles in 1999, starting 16 games and catching 35 passes for 322 yards and seven touchdowns. Before going to Dallas, Miles served as Oklahoma State’s Offensive Coordinator for three seasons from 1995-97, including an 8-3 season and Alamo Bowl berth in 1997. Miles’ college playing and coaching career includes experience under some of the most noted coaches in college football. At Michigan, he played for legendary coach Bo Schembechler and later served on Schembechler’s staff. He also worked with Gary Moeller at Michigan and Bill McCartney at Colorado. Success has followed Miles at every stop of both his playing and professional career. He was a twoyear letterman at Michigan (197475). During those two seasons, Michigan was a combined 18-3-2, had final Associated Press national rankings in the top 10 and participated in the Orange Bowl. He joined Schembechler’s Michigan coaching staff in 1980 for the first of two stints as a coach in Ann Arbor. In 1980 and 1981, Michigan combined for 19 wins and just five losses, won the Big 10 title in 1980 and played in the Rose and Bluebonnet Bowls, respectively. Miles left Michigan for Colorado, where he served on McCartney’s staff from 1982 through 1986. In his final two years at Colorado, the Buffs earned bids to the Freedom Bowl and Bluebonnet Bowl. In 1987, he returned to Michigan, where he would spend the next eight years as part of one of the most successful eras in Michigan football history. From 1987 to 1994, Michigan won 71 games, made eight straight bowl appearances, including four trips to the Rose Bowl, and finished no lower than No. 21 in final Associated Press national rankings. The 1989 Michigan squad finished 10-2, won the Big 10

championship and finished ranked No. 7 in the country. That would be Coach Bo Schembechler’s final season as Michigan’s head coach. When Moeller took over the Michigan program prior to the 1990 season, Miles remained on the staff. The 1990 team finished 9-3, winning the Big 10 title and the Gator Bowl. The following season (1991), Michigan finished 10-2 and with a No. 6 national ranking. Miles coached some of the best players to wear the Michigan uniform, including eight first-team All-Americans, 10 total All-Americans and 12 players from Wolverine offensive lines that were NFL draftees.

Philanthropist At Heart

One of Les Miles’ most impressive qualities is that of the time he spends giving to and helping causes that benefit others. Each year, Miles and his wife Kathy host an event that raises close to $100,000 for the Children’s Miracle Network. In addition, he is active in other community service events such as the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center annual fundraiser, the Special Olympics and the Baton Rouge Children’s Advocacy Center Celebrity Waiter Event. Miles spent a week in June of 2006 taking part in the USO Tour, where the Tiger head coach

visited American Troops serving in Kuwait and Iraq. Miles was joined on the tour, which serves as a morale booster for the troops serving abroad, by former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz and Tampa Bay Devil Rays former owner Vincent Naimoli. The week-long trip took Miles to several U.S. bases in Kuwait and then on to Iraq, where he visited with hundreds of American troops and even flew over the city of Baghdad in a Black Hawk helicopter.

The Family Man

When Miles isn’t overseeing his LSU football family, he can most likely be found in the bleachers supporting his wife and kids at their sporting events. His oldest daughter Kathryn, who is commonly referred to as “Smacker”, is one of the top junior swimmers in the nation, while his two sons – Manny and Ben – are avid athletes who participate in everything from football to baseball to wrestling. Coach Miles also gets his share of time with the youngest of the Miles family, 6-year old Macy Grace. Coach Miles’ wife Kathy, who is a former assistant women’s basketball coach at the collegiate level, spends time serving as a coach for Smacker’s AAU basketball team.

Tigers Open Season With 31-23 Win Over Washington

Jordan Jefferson threw for 172 yards and 3 touchdowns as he helped lead the No. 9/11 Tigers to a hardfought 31-23 non-conference win over Washington in Seattle to open the 2009 campaign. LSU spotted the Huskies an early first quarter TD when UW went 85 yards on 10 plays to take a 7-0 advantage over the Tigers. LSU responded with a 24-yard field goal at the 6:03 mark. The Tigers took their first lead 14 seconds later when Jacob Cutrera returned an interception 29 yards for a score giving LSU a 10-7 advantage. The Huskies tied the game at 10-10 early in the second quarter before the Tigers took the lead for good on a 45-yard pass from Jefferson to Terrence Toliver at the 1:15 mark. UW added a field goal as time expired in the first half. Jefferson and Toliver hooked up for another score in the third quarter, this time a 39-yarder, as LSU stretched the lead to 24-13. The Tigers increased their margin to 31-16 on a 6-yard TD pass from Jefferson to Brandon LaFell. The Huskies added a touchdown as time expired for the final margin. Washington outgained LSU on offense, 478-321, as the Huskies ran 83 plays compared to just 48 for the Tigers. LSU rushed for 149 yards and added 172 through the air. Toliver had his best game in an LSU uniform with four receptions for 117 yards and two scores. Charles Scott rushed for 51 yards, while Keiland Williams added 51 and Jefferson 42 to pace the Tigers offense.

Strong Defensive Effort and Efficient Offense Lead LSU Past Vanderbilt, 23-9

Keiland Williams rushed for 71 yards and a pair of TDs and the LSU defense limited Vanderbilt to just 210 total yards as the Tigers opened conference play with a 23-9 win over the Commodores on a rainy night in Tiger Stadium. LSU never trailed in the contest, taking a 7-0 lead on a 6-yard TD run by Williams late in the first quarter. LSU stretched the lead to 10-0 on a 32-yard field goal by Josh Jasper at the 10:22 mark in the second quarter. Vanderbilt responded with a 12-play, 80-yard drive to pull to within 10-7 on a 6-yard run by Larry Smith at the 7:20 mark in the second quarter. LSU need just over a minute to go 64 yards just before halftime as another Jasper field goal extended the lead to 13-7 at intermission. A third Jasper field goal stretched the margin to 16-7 midway through the third quarter. With the Tiger defense holding Vanderbilt in check, the LSU offense couldn’t put the Commodores away though. An errant snap on a punt deep in LSU territory resulted in a safety for Vanderbilt, pulling the Commodores to within 16-9 with 1:35 to go in the third quarter. LSU’s defense stepped up again the fourth quarter, halting a Vanderbilt drive at the LSU 23-yard line on an interception by Brandon Taylor. LSU put the game away with a 7-play, 46-yard drive capped on a 14-yard TD run by Williams with 6:05 to play. Jordan Jefferson completed 20-of-29 passes for 138 yards, while Charles Scott added 49 yards on the ground for LSU. LaFell led all LSU receivers with 7 catches for 38 yards. Harry Coleman paced the defense with 10 tackles, while Rahim Alem added 7 tackles and a sack.

Defense Leads Tigers Past UL-Lafayette, 31-3

Another solid defensive effort combined with a pair of touchdown receptions by Brandon LaFell helped lead LSU to a 31-3 win over Louisiana-Lafayette in Tiger Stadium. The win was the 21st straight nonconference win by the Tigers. LSU got on the board first, going 62 yards on six plays capped with a 16-yard TD pass from Jordan Jefferson to LaFell to give the Tigers a 7-0 lead at the 3:09 mark in the first quarter. After a Chad Jones interception gave the Tigers the ball deep in UL-Lafayette territory, the Tigers needed just one play - an 11-yard run by Trindon Holliday - to stretch the lead to 14-0 at the 14:52 mark of the second quarter. LSU led 17-3 at halftime after Josh Jasper connected on a 52-yard field goal as time expired in the second quarter. LSU took the opening kickoff of the second half and drove 58 yards on seven plays capped with 20-yard TD pass from Jordan to LaFell to give the Tigers a 21-3 lead. A goal line stand highlighted the defensive effort by LSU in the third quarter as the Tigers turned back the Cajuns on three straight rushing attempts from the 1-yard line. LSU added its final points late in the fourth quarter when Jarrett Lee hit Charles Scott for a 1-yard TD pass. Jefferson finished 16-of-25 for 165 yards and a pair of TDs. Scott led the Tigers rushing attack with 63 yards and LaFell was tops in receiving with six catches for 68 yards and a pair of scores.

Jones Punt Return and Last-Minute Goalline Stand Help Tigers Past Mississippi State, 30-26

Chad Jones returned a punt 93 yards for a touchdown to start the fourth quarter and a last-minute goalline stand by the LSU defense helped the Tigers hold off Mississippi State, 30-26, in Starkville. Patrick Peterson opened the scoring for the Tigers, returning an interception 37 yards on State’s first offensive play to give LSU a 6-0 lead. Mississippi State responded on its next possession to take a 7-6 lead. The Tigers struck back, going 66-yards on seven plays, capped with a Brandon LaFell 4-yard TD reception from Jordan Jefferson, putting LSU up 13-6. After an errant snap on a punt gave Mississippi State the ball at the LSU 1-yard line, the Bulldogs needed just one play to regain the lead at 14-13 on a 1-yard run by Anthony Dixon. The Tigers took a 16-14 lead at halftime courtesy of a Josh Jasper 22-yard field goal midway through the second quarter. LSU extended its lead on the first play of the third quarter when Jefferson connected with LaFell on a 58-yard TD pass to extend the lead to 23-14. The Bulldogs responded, going 73 yards on six plays to pull to within 23-21 on a 50-yard TD pass at the 6:33 mark. Jones’ 93-yard punt return to open the fourth quarter gave the Tigers a 30-21 cushion. After a State field goal at the 10:13 mark pulled the Bulldogs to within 30-24, LSU’s offense couldn’t sustain drives on its next two possessions, opening the door for a Bulldogs possession that had State driving all the way to the Tiger 2-yard line with just over a minute left in the game. LSU’s defense turned back State on four straight downs, including three from the 1-yard line, preserving the victory.

Tigers Rally for Last-Minute Win Over Georgia, 20-13

Charles Scott ran for a 33-yard TD with just over a minute left to lift LSU to a 20-13 comeback win over 18th-ranked Georgia. It was LSU’s first win in Athens since the 1987 season. LSU’s defense dominated the first three quarters of the contest as the Tigers took a 6-0 lead into the fourth quarter. Georgia took its first lead of the game at 7-6 less than a minute into the final quarter when Joe Cox hit Shaun Chapas with a 1-yard TD pass to cap an 18-play, 60-yard drive. The teams went back-and-forth for the next 11 minutes before the Tigers cashed in on a 13-play, 88-yard drive capped on a 2-yard plunge by Scott at the 2:53 mark to regain the lead at 12-7. Georgia needed just a minute and 38 seconds to take back the lead, 13-12, this time on a 16-yard pass from Joe Cox to A.J. Green with 1:09 to play. An excessive celebration penalty combined with a 40-yard kickoff return by Trindon Holliday setup the gamewinning score for the Tigers. Holliday’s return gave the Tigers the ball at the UGA 38-yard line with just over a minute left. LSU needed just two plays - both rushes by Scott - to take the lead for good. Scott’s 33-yard run proved to be the game-winner, giving the Tigers a 20-13 advantage with 46 seconds left. LSU linebacker Perry Riley clinched the win with an interception on Georgia’s last possession. The fourth quarter scoring barrage came after both teams entered into a defensive battle - the Tigers winning the first half and Georgia the third quarter. LSU led 6-0 at halftime after holding the Bulldogs to just one first down and 49 total yards in the first half. Scott led the Tigers with 95 rushing yards and a pair of TDs, while QB Jordan Jefferson connected on 18-of-27 passes for 212 yards.

Florida Defense Too Much For LSU As Tigers Fall To Top-Ranked Gators, 13-3

LSU’s defense limited the SEC’s top offense to only 13 points and just 327 total yards, but it wasn’t enough as top-ranked Florida stymied the Tiger offense in a 13-3 win in Tiger Stadium. LSU managed just a second quarter field goal - an 18-yarder by Josh Jasper - as the Tigers suffered their first loss in a Saturday night game in Tiger Stadium since 2002. Florida never trailed in the contest, taking a 3-0 lead late in the first quarter on a 28-yard field goal by Caleb Sturgis at the 3:50 mark. The Tigers responded two drives later, going all the way to the Florida 2-yard line before settling for the Jasper field goal to tie the game at 3-3 with 5:16 to play in the first half. The Gators extended their lead to 10-3 just before halftime when Tim Tebow hit Riley Cooper on a 24-yard TD pass. After both teams went scoreless in the third quarter, Florida stretched the lead to 13-3 on a 32-yard field goal by Sturgis at the 7:27 mark. A Jai Eugene interception of a Tebow pass at the LSU 5-yard line with 4:55 left in the game, kept the Tigers’ chances alive. However, LSU turned the ball over on downs on the ensuing possession and Florida was able to run out the clock for the victory. Charles Scott led the Tigers with 53 yards rushing, while Jordan Jefferson connected on 11 of 17 passes for 96 yards and one interception. LSU managed just 162 total yards, including 44 in the second half, in the loss. Defensively, Kelvin Sheppard led the Tigers with 13 tackles, while Perry Riley and Chad Jones added 12 each.

LSU Puts It All Together In 31-10 Win Over Auburn

The offense clicked and the defense shut down one of the most potent attacks in the SEC as LSU rolled to a 31-10 win over Auburn. LSU had its most productive offensive outing of the season with 376 total yards (122 rushing, 254 passing). Defensively, the Tigers limited Auburn to just 193 total yards (112 rushing, 81 passing), which included only 42 total yards in the first half as LSU built a 17-0 lead at halftime. Jordan Jefferson had perhaps his best outing, connecting on 21 of 31 passes for 242 yards and a pair of TDs (he also rushed for a score). LSU never trailed in the contest, taking a 7-0 lead on its first possession when Jefferson hit Terrence Toliver with a 14-yard TD pass. Jefferson added a 15-yard run later in the first quarter for a 14-0 LSU advantage. LSU extended its lead to 24-0 on its first possession of the second half when Jefferson connected with Brandon LaFell on a 17-yard TD pass. Russell Shepard scored his first TD as a Tiger with a 69-yard TD run late in the third quarter to extend the lead to 31-3. Shepard led the Tigers in rushing with 71 yards on six carries, while Toliver caught nine passes for 86 yards and a score. Kelvin Sheppard (13 tackles) and Harry Coleman (9 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 FF) paced the LSU defense.

LSU Cruises Past Tulane, 42-0

Charles Scott rushed for 112 yards and a pair of scores as LSU had its best offensive outing of the season in its 42-0 win over Tulane on Halloween night in Tiger Stadium. LSU produced season highs in total offense (455 yards), rushing yards (267) and points (42) as the Tigers had little trouble with their in-state rival. Defensively, LSU limited Tulane to just 216 total yards and only 26 rushing yards. It was LSU’s first shutout of the season and the first by a Tiger team since the 2007 season. LSU wasted little time in taking control of the game as the Tigers capitalized following a blocked punt when Russell Shepard scored on a 19-yard run at the 8:05 mark in the first quarter. LSU made it 14-0 when Jordan Jefferson found Brandon LaFell all alone in the endzone for a 39-yard TD at the 2:32 mark. Scott’s 4-yard TD run made it 21-0 at halftime. LSU stretched the margin to 35-0 when Jefferson connected with LaFell on a 13-yard TD pass early in the fourth quarter. Stevan Ridley added the final score for the Tigers, a 10-yard run late in the fourth quarter. Ridley finished with 73 rushing yards, while Shepard added 48 yards. Jefferson completed 11 of 17 passes for 163 yards and a pair of TDs. LaFell led the Tiger receivers with four catches for 85 yards and two TDs, while Terrence Toliver added four catches for 59 yards. Defensively, Kelvin Sheppard paced the Tigers with 13 tackles, three tackles for losses and one sack.

Alabama Grinds Out 24-15 Win Over LSU

A rash of injuries, including a season-ending one to running back Charles Scott, along with the running of Alabama’s Mark Ingram proved to be too much to overcome as the No. 3 Crimson Tide beat No. 9 LSU, 24-15. LSU led 15-10 going into the fourth quarter, however, Alabama scored 14 unanswered points during the final stanza to record the victory. After a scoreless first quarter, LSU got on the board first, taking a 7-0 lead when Jordan Jefferson connected with Deangelo Peterson for a 12-yard TD pass at the 9:12 mark. Leigh Tiffin kicked a 28-yard field goal for Alabama’s only first half points as the Tigers led 7-3 at halftime. Alabama took its first lead of the game, 10-7, on its opening possession of the second half on a 21-yard TD pass from Greg McElroy to Darius Hanks. An LSU safety closed the gap to 10-9 at the 5:55 mark and then the Tigers regained the lead on an 8-yard run by Stevan Ridley two minutes later. Alabama pulled to within 15-13 on another Tiffin field goal early in the fourth quarter and the Crimson Tide took the lead for good, 21-15, when Julio Jones raced 73-yards for a TD at the 10:24 mark. LSU played the final quarter without Scott and Jefferson due to injuries. Scott finished with 83 rushing yards but was injured late in the third quarter after a 34-yard run. Jefferson finished 10-of-17 for 114 yards and 1 score, most of which came in the first half. Jacob Cutrera tied a career-best with 11 tackles to lead the Tiger defense. Ingram led Alabama with 144 yards, 106 of which came after halftime.

Short-Handed LSU Overcomes Slow Start To Beat Louisiana Tech, 24-16

Down four offensive starters due to injuries, LSU overcame a sluggish first half to post a 24-16 nonconference win over Louisiana Tech. Keiland Williams, starting for an injured Charles Scott, rushed for a season-high 116 yards and two second-half touchdowns to lead the Tigers to the victory. The Tigers played the game without offensive starters in QB Jordan Jefferson, RB Charles Scott, TE Richard Dickson and C T-Bob Hebert. LSU scored first, taking a 3-0 lead on a 35-yard field goal by Josh Jasper. Tech tied the score on its next possession before LSU stretched the lead to 10-3 when Jarrett Lee connected with Brandon LaFell on a 38-yard TD pass at the 1:55 mark in the first quarter. After pulling to within 10-6 at the 5:39 mark on another field goal, the Bulldogs took the lead at halftime when Daniel Porter hit Dennis Morris on a 1-yard TD pass on fourth down as time expired in the first half. LSU regained the lead, 17-13, on a 3-yard run by Williams at the 6:59 mark in the third quarter. Williams extended the lead to 24-13 on a 9-yard TD run with 7:01 left in the contest. Tech added a late field goal for the final margin of 24-16. Lee, filing in for an injured Jefferson at quarterback, connected on 7-of-22 passes for 105 yards and one score for the Tigers. Defensively, Perry Riley led the Tigers with 14 tackles, while Jacob Cutrera added 11. As a unit, LSU recorded five sacks and had a total of 10 tackles for losses.

History

LSU Rally Falls Short At Ole Miss, 25-23

A late fourth quarter rally by LSU fell just seconds short as the Tigers dropped a 25-23 decision to Ole Miss in Oxford. Trailing 25-17 after an Ole Miss field goal with just over three minutes left in the contest, the Tigers went 66-yards on 10-plays, capped with a 25-yard TD pass from Jordan Jefferson to Rueben Randle to pull to within 25-23 with 1:17 left in the game. LSU missed the 2-point conversion which would have tied the score. LSU regained possession of the ball when Brandon LaFell recovered the onside kick at its own 42-yard line giving the Tigers one final chance at victory. A 26-yard completion from Jefferson to LaFell got the ball to the Ole Miss 32-yard line with just over 30 seconds left. However, the next three plays resulted in a combined 16-yard loss, leaving the Tigers with a fourth-down at the Ole Miss 48-yard line with just nine seconds left. On the fourth down play, Jefferson hit Terrence Toliver on a 43-yard pass to the Ole Miss 5-yard with just one second left. Out of time outs, the clock expired and Ole Miss held on for the victory. The Tigers led 17-15 at halftime after Patrick Peterson returned a block field goal 53-yards for a touchdown and Randle scored on a 17-yard pass from Jefferson. Jefferson finished with 250 passing yards and a pair of TDs, while Keiland Williams led the ground game with 40 yards before breaking his ankle late in the fourth quarter.

Jasper Kicks LSU Past Arkansas In Overtime, 33-30

Josh Jasper kicked a 41-yard field goal with four seconds left in regulation to send the game into overtime and he then clinched the victory for the Tigers with a 36-yarder during the extra period as the Tigers used a last-minute rally to come-from-behind and beat Arkansas, 33-30, in the regular-season finale. After spotting Arkansas an early 3-0 lead, LSU led the rest of the way before Arkansas took a 30-27 lead with just over a minute left in the contest on a 14-yard TD pass from Ryan Mallett to Joe Adams. LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson responded by guiding LSU on an 8-play, 41-yard drive capped with Jasper’s 41-yard field goal with four seconds left to tie the game at 30-30. LSU won the contest when Arkansas kicker Alex Tejada sent his overtime kick wide right. LSU jumped out to a 17-6 halftime lead thanks in part to an 87-yard punt return by Trindon Holliday. The Tigers led 24-13 midway through the third quarter following a Jefferson-to-Deangelo Peterson TD pass. Arkansas cut the deficit to 24-23 early in the fourth quarter before a Jasper field goal extended the LSU advantage to 27-23. The Razorbacks then responded with a drive to regain the lead at 30-27, setting up Jefferson’s last-minute drive. Playing without its top three running backs, LSU still rushed for 147 yards, led by Holliday’s 57 yards. Jefferson threw for 179 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Harry Coleman paced the LSU defense with nine tackles and a sack.

Four days of rain turned an expected passing battle into a punting duel between quarterbacks Sammy Baugh of TCU and LSU’s Abe Mickal. The Tigers threatened often, once getting to the six-inch line, but TCU’s Taldon Manton kicked a winning 26-yard field goal. LSU scored when All-America end Gaynell Tinsley harassed Baugh into throwing an incompletion in the TCU end zone for an automatic safety.

Mike the Tiger’s first year at LSU ended in an upset by the little-known Broncos. Coach Bernie Moore’s previously undefeated Bengals were never in the ball game, trailing 14-0 after the first period. The Tigers scored their last touchdown late in the game, long after Santa Clara coach Buck Shaw had cleared his bench.

A rematch of the 1937 Sugar classic saw the unbeaten Broncos score early and then hold off the Tigers with two goal line stands. It marked the first time in 50 games that an LSU team had been held scoreless. Pinky Rohm was the sparkplug for the Tigers, but LSU could not move on the west coast club.

The war-time Tigers went to Miami despite a 5-3 season, thanks largely to the presence of Steve Van Buren. The red-haired sensation ran and passed for two first quarter touchdowns and sewed up the victory with a 62-yard scoring run in the third period. It was Van Buren’s 16th touchdown of the season, a mark that stood until Charles Alexander ran for 17 in 1977.

Shunned by the Sugar Bowl, the 9-1 Tigers marched into the Cotton Bowl behind quarterback Y.A. Tittle. But Dallas was pelted with rain, sleet and snow and the scoreless standoff became known as the Ice Bowl. LSU held a 15-1 edge over the Razorbacks in first downs and a 271-54 advantage in total yardage. But the afternoon belonged to the weatherman.

The Cinderella Tigers brought an 8-1 record to New Orleans only to see the clock strike midnight at the hands of a powerful Bud Wilkinson-coached Sooner team. Darrell Royal quarterbacked unbeaten Oklahoma to two second period touchdowns, and the Tigers could never recover. Charley Pevey quarterbacked LSU, but the Bengals could manage only 38 rushing yards to OU’s 286.

Paul Dietzel’s great national champions closed LSU’s first undefeated, untied season in 50 years with a thrilling victory over Clemson. It was the Bayou Bengals’ first Sugar Bowl victory and couldn’t have come in a sweeter year. Billy Cannon threw a nine-yard scoring pass to Mickey Mangham in the third quarter, and the Chinese Bandits held Clemson in check for the victory.

The regular season thriller won by Billy Cannon’s 89-yard punt return proved to be a nightmarish rematch for LSU. Jake Gibbs hit Cowboy Woodruff with a 43-yard touchdown pass just before halftime and the Rebels coasted after that. The Tigers and Heisman Trophy winner Cannon never got inside the Ole Miss 38 the entire game.

Amidst rumors that Paul Dietzel was leaving LSU, the Tigers romped behind Earl Gros, Wendell Harris and Jerry Stovall. All-American guard Roy Winston was outstanding as the Go Team, White Team and Chinese Bandits dominated the Buffalos. Charley White Cranford, Jimmy Field and Gene Sykes scored touchdowns for the Tigers as Harris kicked a 30-yard field goal.

The defensive-minded Tigers gave Charlie McClendon a victory over the previously undefeated Longhorns in Mac’s first bowl appearance as head coach. Lynn Amedee kicked field goals of 23 and 37 yards, and Jimmy Field ran 22 yards for the game’s only touchdown. AllAmericans Fred Miller and Jerry Stovall joined Amedee as the stars of the game.

Don Trull passed the injury-ridden Tigers dizzy, hitting on 26-of-37 passes and rolling up 430 yards in total offense. Still, it took two fourth period touchdowns for the Bears to pull the victory out before 50,000 frozen fans in Houston. Joe Labruzzo ran a kickoff back for 72 yards late in the game, but Baylor held and Trull ended the game still firing away at the Tiger secondary.

Billy Ezell and Pat Screen quarterbacked the Tigers to a come from behind victory over the Orangemen. Ezell threw a 57-yard touchdown pass to Doug Moreau and then hit Joe Labruzzo on a two-point conversion. Moreau, the game’s MVP, kicked a 28-yard field goal for the deciding points. The Tiger defense held the Syracuse running duo of Floyd Little and Jim Nance in check, as LSU defensive tackle George Rice dumped Little for a first half safety.

Pat Screen took over for injured Nelson Stokley and directed the Tigers to a great upset over second-ranked and unbeaten Arkansas. Joe Labruzzo ran three yards for one score and went over from a yard out for the other. The Razorbacks scored on Jon Brittenum’s 16-yard pass to Bobby Crockett, but a Jerry Joseph interception stopped the Hogs’ last chance in the game and ended a 22-game Arkansas win streak.

A topsy-turvy year for the Tigers ended in a comeback win over the previously unbeaten Cowboys. Glenn Smith came off the bench to spark the victory and became the first sophomore in Sugar Bowl history to win the MVP award. Nelson Stokley threw touchdown passes of 35 and 14 yards to Tommy Morel, and Smith ran one yard for the other score on a chilly and rainy New Orleans afternoon.

The see-saw contest left the Atlanta crowd limp with enthusiasm as the Tigers moved 61 yards in nine plays behind Mike Hillman for the winning touchdown. Florida State’s Bill Cappelman, who threw for three touchdowns, put the ball in the air 41 times. Super pass catcher Ron Sellers caught two scoring passes for FSU, but LSU’s Tommy Morel made a great clutch reception on the Bengals’ winning drive to set up Maurice LeBlanc’s twoyard TD run.

With the national title at stake, the Cornhuskers’ Jerry Tagge leaped over from one yard out for the winning touchdown. Buddy Lee’s 31-yard pass to Al Coffee had given the Tigers a 12-10 lead going into the final period. Mark Lumpkin kicked field goals of 36 and 25 yards for the Bengals, who could not stop Nebraska’s winning 67-yard touchdown drive.

Bert Jones completed 12 of 18 passes for 227 yards and three touchdowns as the Tigers routed the Big Eight Cyclones. Jones hit cousin Andy Hamilton six times with passes, once for a touchdown, and scored the clincher himself on a run from six yards out. Jay Michaelson kicked two field goals and caught a touchdown pass for the Bengals.

Tennessee struck for three first half touchdowns and then held off an LSU comeback in the second half, ending when a Bert Jones pass was deflected at the Volunteer 10 with less than two minutes left. UT quarterback Condredge Holloway ran for two scores and passed for another, while Jones and Brad Davis ran for the two Bengal touchdowns. The Vols led 24-3 at the half before the Tigers clawed their way back in the Astrodome.

The Tigers, in spite of scoring on the first series of the game, were never able to get possession on the Penn State end of the field. Brad Davis was the leading rusher with 70 yards while the vaunted LSU defense held Heisman Trophy winner John Cappelletti to only 50 yards during the encounter.

Charles Alexander won Offensive Player of the Game honors as he set a pair of Sun Bowl rushing records, carrying 31 times for 197 yards, but LSU mistakes and a superb passing attack by the Pac-8 team enabled the westerners to take the victory. LSU scored the second time it had the ball, but Stanford racked up a touchdown and a field goal for a brief lead which LSU topped with a final minute, first half six-pointer to take a 14-10 lead into intermission. The second half was all Stanford as quarterback Guy Benjamin added two more TD passes to his second period strike for the triumph.

It was a case of two separate games: the first half was all Missouri and the second half all LSU. The only trouble was that the Big 8 team put more points on the board in its half than the SEC entry did in its. Missouri piled up a seemingly commanding 20-3 halftime advantage, but Coach Charles McClendon’s charges came out firing. Although they were not able to overcome the score, they did pile up 247 yards to 84, and 15 first downs to four for Missouri. All-America tailback Charles Alexander played his last game as a Tiger and made it memorable as he gained 133 yards on 24 carries.

It was the end of the Cholly Mac era and it was a glorious end! The Tigers were 10 feet off the ground as they dashed out of their dressing room and immediately gave notice it was going to be their night. The first three times they had the ball they drove downfield, scoring two touchdowns and missing the third when they lost a fumble at the goal line. From then on, it was just a matter of what the final score would be.

In one of the most exciting games in LSU history, the Tigers came within an eyelash of upsetting powerful Nebraska. Leading 17-7 late in the third period by virtue of two Dalton Hilliard touchdown runs and a 28-yard Juan Carlos Betanzos field goal, it appeared the Bayou Bengals were on the verge of the upset of the year. But two late touchdowns by the Cornhuskers offset a 49-yard Betanzos field goal, and the Tigers’ noble efforts resulted in a one-point heartbreaker.

The 1985 Sugar Bowl featured LSU against Big 8 Conference champion Nebraska. It had been a remarkable turnaround season for LSU. The Tigers finished 8-2-1 after going 4-7 (0-6 in SEC play) the year before in 1983. Bill Arnsparger, in his first year as the LSU head coach, made believers out of everyone in the state of Louisiana with the Tigers surprising ascension in 1984. A heavy underdog, LSU jumped out to a quick 10-0 lead over Tom Osborne’s Cornhuskers. Freshmen kicker Ronnie Lewis put LSU on the board with 4:40 left in the first period drilling a 37-yard field goal. Dalton Hilliard, LSU’s outstanding running back, who saw limited playing time due to a case of the flu, scored with 13:11 left in the second period on a 2-yard run putting the Tigers ahead 10-0. Nebraska woke up after that and scored on its next possession. Quarterback Craig Sunberg hit receiver Doug Dubose on a 31-yard TD pass with 10:31 left in the second quarter, cutting the lead to 10-7. The second half was all Nebraska. The Huskers scored one touchdown in the third quarter when Sunberg scored from nineyards out to take the lead 14-10. Two fourth quarter touchdown passes by Sunberg to Todd Frain sealed the deal and Nebraska pulled away for a 28-10 win.

The Tigers got on the scoreboard first, but that would be all the scoring LSU could muster, as the Baylor defense stopped the Tigers, 21-7, before 40,186 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in Memphis. Norman Jefferson provided the LSU heroics with a 79-yard punt return with 5:17 left in the first quarter that would give the Tigers a 7-0 lead. The return would be a Liberty Bowl record and Jefferson’s second scoring return in an LSU uniform. Baylor’s high-powered offense was able to gain 489 yards against LSU’s defense while the Tigers settled for 192 yards. Jeff Wickersham completed 11-of-24 passes for 95 yards while Dalton Hilliard carried 20 times for 66 yards.

In Bill Arnsparger’s final game as LSU head coach, No. 6 Nebraska ripped off 30 unanswered points to beat the Tigers 30-15. The Cornhuskers swarmed all over standout LSU freshmen quarterback Tommy Hodson giving him little time to throw the football. Meanwhile, the Nebraska offense flourished en route to defeating No. 5 LSU. The loss was LSU’s fourth straight in a bowl and dropped LSU’s Sugar Bowl mark to 3-7, in what would be the Tigers’ final appearance in the New Orleans classic until 2002. LSU scored first on a one-yard run by Harvey Williams, capping a 66-yard drive on the first series of the game. Nebraska’s scoring started with a field goal by Dale Klein. Quarterback Steve Taylor polished off a 72-yard drive with a 2-yard touchdown run with 39 seconds before halftime to give the Cornhuskers a 10-7 lead. Nebraska came out in the second half and marched 78 yards for another score on a 1-yard run by running back Tyreese Knox, building its lead to 17-7. Completing a run of 30 unanswered points, Nebraska added two fourth quarter touchdowns on a three-yard pass from Taylor to tight end Todd Millikan and another 1-yard plunge by Knox. With 2:01 left in the game, Hodson completed a 24-yard touchdown pass to receiver Tony Moss. A successful two-point conversion pass to Alvin Lee made the score 30-15.

The Tigers closed out Mike Archer’s first year as head coach in grand fashion with a resounding 30-13 win over South Carolina. The LSU defense ran the South Carolina offense into confusion, but it was the offense that owned the show as the pitch-and-catch combination of Tommy Hodson and Wendell Davis thrilled the crowd of 82,119. LSU jumped out to a 14-0 lead before the Gamecocks could put a field goal on the board. The Tigers led 20-6 at the half and rolled from there in the second half. Davis--the game’s MVP--caught nine passes for 132 yards and three touchdowns.

The Tigers went to Tampa, Fla., as co-champions of the Southeastern Conference, but came up short in this game as a solid Syracuse offense was spurred by the running halfback Robert Drummond. A stingy Orangeman defense held the Tigers at bay. Drummond was the offensive star of the game, running for 122 yards on 23 carries while Tiger quarterback Tommy Hodson was picked off three times by the aggressive Syracuse defenders. A crowd of 51,112 was on hand in Tampa Stadium for this January 2 game that saw Syracuse jump out to a 10-0 lead before the Tigers got a touchdown on the board to make it 10-7 at the half. But the last two quarters belonged to Syracuse as LSU finished its season at 8-4.

The Tigers wrapped up the first year of the Gerry DiNardo era with a 45-26 win over Michigan State before a sellout crowd of 48,835. The teams battled evenly in a first half of big plays that included a 78-yard TD pass by Michigan State on the second play of the game, an Eddie Kennison kickoff return for a touchdown for LSU, a Michigan State kickoff return for a touchdown and a 51-yard TD run by Kevin Faulk that contributed to a 24-21 MSU halftime lead. But the Tigers broke it open in the second half with 24 unanswered points, including a fumble return for a touchdown by defensive end Gabe Northern. In all, LSU set or tied 11 Independence Bowl records in the romp.

Quarterback Herb Tyler led a balanced LSU attack against a stubborn Clemson squad to send the LSU Tigers to a 10-7 win in the Peach Bowl at the Georgia Dome. The win gave the Tigers their second straight bowl win and their first 10-win season in nine years. Clemson struck first, taking a 7-0 lead when quarterback Nealon Greene took the ball in from five yards out after LSU had turned the ball over deep in Clemson territory. But it would be Clemson’s only points of the night. In the second quarter, Kevin Faulk capped a seven-play, 80-yard LSU drive with a three-yard touchdown run and Wade Richey added a 22-yard field goal before intermission for a 10-7 LSU lead at the half that would stand the test of the second half. The game was sealed when LSU’s Aaron Adams batted away a 52-yard Clemson field goal try with less than two minutes to play.

Rondell Mealey electrified a frigid Independence Bowl crowd with a 222-yard rushing performance to pace LSU to a convincing 27-9 win over Notre Dame, avenging a loss to the Irish during the regular season. Mealey subbed for starter Kevin Faulk who was injured early in the game, and didn’t miss a beat. The teams exchanged field goals early before the LSU touchdown surge began. Scott Cengia hit field goals of 33 and 21 yards for the Irish in the first half while Wade Richey booted a 37-yarder for a 6-3 Notre Dame lead at the half. Richey added a 42-yarder early in the second half before LSU’s Herb Tyler hit Abram Booty with a 12-yard scoring strike for a 13-6 Tiger lead. Cengia hit one more field goal, a 33-yarder early in the fourth quarter, but the Irish would score no more. Mealey scored twice in the final period on runs of two and one yard to send LSU to victory.

In all, Davey threw three second half TD passes, and he finished the contest with 17 completions in 25 attempts for 174 yards. Davey hit wideout Josh Reed on a 9-yard scoring pass early in the fourth quarter to give the Tigers the lead for good at 17-14. Reed finished the game with nine receptions for 96 yards, while fullback Tommy Banks capped his senior season with two TD receptions and a career-best seven catches for 71 yards.

LSU’s high-powered offense led by quarterback Rohan Davey and Josh Reed proved to be too much for seventh-ranked Illinois as the Tigers rolled to a 47-34 win over the Fighting Illini. The win marked LSU’s first New Year’s Day bowl victory since a win over Wyoming in the 1968 Sugar Bowl. LSU, behind the arm of Davey and the running of tailback Domanick Davis, jumped on the Illini early as the Tigers hit paydirt on a 4-yard Davis run at the 7:22 mark of the first quarter. Davis followed with second-quarter touchdown runs of 25 and 16 yards to give the Tigers a 20-0 lead just 20 minutes into the contest. Davey hit Reed with a 5-yard TD pass with 4:42 left in the first half and then found Robert Royal for a 7-yard scoring strike just before halftime to give the Tigers a 34-7 cushion at the break. Illinois pulled to within 41-28 midway through the fourth quarter, but Davis’ fourth touchdown run, a Sugar Bowl record, put the game away for the Tigers at 47-28. 2002 SUGAR BOWL

Behind a suffocating defense the Tigers claimed their second national title in football with a 21-14 win over Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl. The victory in the BCS National Championship contest marked LSU’s first national title since 1958 and also sent the Tigers, champions of the Southeastern Conference, to a final overall record of 13-1. Running back Justin Vincent earned MVP honors for the game, rushing for 117 yards and one touchdown in leading the Tigers to the victory. Defensively, linebacker Lionel Turner led LSU with nine tackles, including a pair of sacks, one of which came on the last offensive play of the game for the Sooners. In all, LSU recorded five sacks in the contest and held the Sooners to only 54 yards rushing.

LSU and Texas met on the gridiron for the first time since the 1963 Cotton Bowl and the two teams put on quite a show before a sellout crowd of over 70,000 fans in Dallas. Despite holding only a 10-7 lead after the first quarter, the Tigers dominated the first 15 minutes of the contest. In the first quarter alone, LSU racked up 187 yards of offense compared to zero for the Longhorns. In that first quarter, LSU ran 30 plays for 187 yards, compared to only three plays for zero net yards for the Longhorns. In all, LSU held the ball for just over 13 minutes in the first quarter, while Texas had it for less than two minutes. After a dominating first quarter, the Tigers stretched their lead to 17-7 early in the second quarter on a 10-yard run by Domanick Davis. Texas responded with a pair of TDs to take a 21-17 lead at halftime. LSU’s offense never got back on track in the second half as the Tigers managed just a fourth quarter field goal in falling to the Longhorns, 35-20.

The Nick Saban era at LSU came to an end in dramatic fashion as 11th-ranked Iowa scored on a 56-yard pass as time expired to beat the 12th-ranked Tigers, 30-25. The last-second play erased what would have been a tremendous fourth-quarter comeback win for the Tigers as LSU erased a 12-point deficit over the final eight minutes of the contest to take a 25-24 lead with just 46 seconds remaining. Inserted into the game early in the final quarter, JaMarcus Russell led the Tigers on a pair of TD drives, the second coming on a 3-yard pass to Skyler Green that put the Tigers up for the only time in the game, 25-24. However, the Hawkeyes responded with a 3-play, 71-yard drive, capped on a 56-yard pass from Drew Tate to Warren Holloway to record the dramatic finish. Playing in only the fourth quarter, Russell connected on 12-of-15 passes for 128 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Matt Flynn, subbing for an injured JaMarcus Russell, threw for 196 yards and a pair of touchdowns in leading 10th-ranked LSU to its most lopsided bowl victory ever in a 40-3 win over ninth-ranked Miami in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. Joseph Addai rushed for 130 yards and a score as the Tigers dominated the final three quarters of the contest. With the scored tied at 3-3 at the end of the first quarter, the Tiger defense took over as LSU limited the Hurricanes to just two first downs and only 38 yards of offense over the final three quarters of the game. In all, Miami managed only six first downs and 153 yards of offense in the contest as LSU put together its most complete game of the season. With the Tiger defense holding the Hurricane offense at bay, the LSU offense came alive in the second quarter, first with a 51-yard TD pass from Flynn to Craig Davis. After a 47-yard field goal by Chris Jackson that put LSU up 13-3, the Tigers went on a 9-play drive just before the break, capped with a 4-yard pass from Flynn to Addai to stretch the lead to 20-3 at halftime.

JaMarcus Russell threw for 332 yards and a pair of touchdowns and the Tiger defense shut down Notre Dame’s potent offensive attack in a 41-14 win over the Irish in the 2007 Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. In one of his best overall performances as a Tiger, Russell accounted for nearly 350 yards of offense and three LSU scores, including two in the first half as the Tigers led 21-14 at halftime. LSU wasted little time in taking control of the game as the Tigers needed only two plays to take a 7-0 lead. LSU’s first points of the game came following a Notre Dame possession that saw the Irish unsuccessfully fake a punt from deep in their own territory. After another defensive stop by the Tigers, LSU went 80 yards on eight plays, capped with a Russell-to-Dwayne Bowe 11-yard TD pass for a 14-0 advantage. The Irish scored on its next possession to cut the margin to 14-7 at the end of the first quarter. The Irish then knotted up the contest at 14-14 late in the second quarter on a Quinn TD pass. The Tigers came right back, though, taking a 21-14 advantage just before halftime on a 5-yard run by Russell. Russell’s TD run was set up when the quarterback connected with Early Doucet on a 58-yard pass down to the Irish 5-yard line. LSU built on the momentum in the second half as the Tigers scored 13 straight points to open the third quarter to extend the lead to 34-14. Notre Dame never could recover as the Tiger tacked on another TD in the fourth quarter for the final margin.

Matt Flynn tied a school record with four TD passes as LSU overcame an early 10-0 deficit to post a 38-24 win over topranked Ohio State in the BCS National Championship Game. The victory capped a 12-2 season for the Tigers as LSU won its second BCS title in five years and the school’s third overall national championship in football. After spotting the Buckeyes a 10-0 first-quarter advantage, the Tigers dominated the rest of the way. LSU outscored Ohio State 31-0 over a span that stretched from late in the first quarter to midway through the third quarter. The Tigers dominated the second quarter, scoring on three-straight possessions to take a 24-10 lead. LSU tied the score on a 10-yard TD pass from Flynn to Richard Dickson. Ricky Jean-Francois blocked a 28-yard field goal attempt by the Buckeyes minutes later to put the momentum back in favor of the Tigers. LSU scored 10 plays later when Flynn connected with Brandon LaFell on a 10-yard strike to give the Tigers the lead for good at 17-10 at the 7:25 mark The Tigers led 24-10 at halftime when Jacob Hester scored on a 1-yard plunge that was set up by a Chevis Jackson interception. LSU’s lead went to 31-10 on a 4-yard TD reception by Early Doucet at the 9:04 mark in the third quarter. Ohio State pulled to within 31-17 late in the third quarter before the Tigers put the game away with a 5-yard TD pass from Flynn to Dickson with 1:50 left in the game.

LSU’s defense shut down Georgia Tech’s triple-option attack, and the Tiger offense was nearly flawless in a 38-3 win over the 14th-ranked Yellow Jackets in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. Jordan Jefferson, who was making just his second career start, threw for 142 yards and a score, while Charles Scott rushed for 65 yards and 3 TDs as the Tigers led from start to finish. The Tigers set the tone early, driving 60 yards on seven plays on the opening possession of the game to take a 7-0 lead. Georgia Tech would score its only points on a 24-yard field goal late in the first quarter. The second quarter belonged to LSU as the Tigers scored 28 unanswered points during that frame to take a 35-3 lead at halftime. LSU’s second quarter outburst was aided by outstanding special teams play by the Tigers. After a 3-and-out by the Tigers, LSU forced a fumble on a Tech punt return, re-gaining possession at the Yellow Jacket 19-yard line. LSU scored six plays later on a 1-yard run by Scott to take a 21-3 lead. On Tech’s next possession, the Tigers stuffed a fake punt attempt by the Yellow Jackets, giving LSU the ball on the Georgia Tech 24-yard line. The Tigers needed just two plays to score as Jefferson connected with Richard Dickson for a 25-yard TD, stretching the lead to 28-3. LSU added a final TD just before halftime when Keiland Williams raced 17 yards for a score. LSU tacked on a field goal in the third quarter for the final points of the game. LSU’s defense played its best game of the season, holding the Yellow Jackets to 314 yards, which included just 164 rushing yards, some 120 yards below their season average. Jefferson was named the offensive MVP of the game, while LB Perry Riley was the game’s defensive MVP after registering 11 tackles, including one tackle for a loss.

1979

1979 Tangerine Bowl LSU 34, Wake Forest 10 December 22, 1979 Tangerine Bowl Stadium (38,666)

In the final game of the Cholly Mac era, LSU sent out its departing head coach, Charles McClendon with an emphatic 34-10 victory over Wake Forest in the Tangerine Bowl. Quarterback David Woodley, the game’s Most Valuable Player, paced the Tiger offense, throwing for 199 yards and a touchdown and adding another 68 yards and two touchdowns on the ground, while the LSU defense forced five turnovers and held the Demon Deacons to only 263 total yards. The Tigers jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter with touchdowns in each of their first two drives and never looked back. Woodley led the LSU offense on an 80-yard drive to open the game, which was capped by the senior’s 13-yard scamper. After safety Marcus Quinn intercepted a pass on Wake Forest’s first

drive, Woodley guided the Tigers back into the red zone and punched it in from three yards out for his second rushing TD of the quarter. LSU reached the end zone for the third time of the half when splitback Jerry Murphree reeled in a 19-yard TD pass from Woodley. Placekicker Donald Barthel tacked on a 31-yard field goal late in the second quarter, and the Tigers went into the locker room with a comfortable 24-3 halftime lead. The Demon Deacons put together an 8-play scoring drive on their opening possession of the second half to cut the deficit to 24-10, but it would be all they’d be able to muster against a relentless LSU defense. The Tigers, who held Wake Forest to only 13 rushing yards in the first half, continued to stifle their opponent’s running game in the second half and

picked off two more passes to shut down the Demon Deacon offense. Barthel connected on another field goal early in the fourth, and backup quarterback Steve Ensminger put an exclamation point on the victory with a four-yard TD rush. With the win, McClendon finished his 18-year coaching tenure at LSU with 137 victories, which remains the highest total in school history.

No.11 Iowa erased No. 12 LSU’s tremendous fourth-quarter comeback with a 56-yard touchdown pass in the closing seconds to defeat the Tigers, 30-25, in the 2005 Capital One Bowl in Orlando. The dramatic last-second touchdown pass from Hawkeye quarterback Drew Tate to Warren Holloway overshadowed an outstanding fourth-quarter comeback that saw LSU erase a 12-point deficit in the final eight minutes. The Tigers trailed 14-6 late in the second quarter before running back Alley Broussard exploded for a 74-yard touchdown run to make the score 14-12 going into the half. Broussard rushed for a game-high 109 yards on 13 carries. Iowa held LSU scoreless through the first 25 minutes of the second half while posting 10 points of their own to

extend their lead to 24-12. With 8:21 left to play, quarterback JaMarcus Russell connected with Skyler Green on a 22-yard touchdown strike to pull LSU within five at 24-19. After forcing Iowa to punt on their next possession, the Tigers took a 25-24 lead with 46 seconds to play when Russell connected with Green on a three-yard touchdown pass, giving LSU its only lead of the game. Russell was outstanding, completing 12-of-15 passes for 128 yards and a pair of touchdowns despite playing in only the fourth quarter. On their ensuing possession, the Hawkeye offense scrambled for 71 yards in three plays, including the final 56-yard touchdown reception as time expired, to emerge victorious, 30-25, in former Head Coach Nick Saban’s final game at LSU.

Director of Athletics

Joe Alleva

INTRO NOTEBOOK

LSU Vice-Chancellor/Director of Athletics

COACHES

Joe Alleva enters his second year as LSU’s Director of Athletics after being hired to lead one of the nation’s most powerful athletic programs on April 4, 2008. Alleva joined LSU after 10 years of outstanding leadership as the director of athletics at Duke University. He officially took over at LSU on July 1, 2008.

Under Alleva’s guidance in 2008-09, LSU reached new heights in terms of athletic success while continuing to be recognized as one of the top enterprises in college athletics. The LSU Board of Supervisors approved a promotion on August 28, 2009, expanding his role to the academic side of the university. Alleva accepted the position of LSU Vice-Chancellor while still continuing his role as Director of Athletics. A veteran leader in college athletics, Alleva is dedicated to athletic and academic excellence. He is committed to providing the opportunities and the resources necessary for student-athletes to excel in competition, in the classroom and in the community. Alleva, 56, is well-respected for sustaining high standards of excellence and integrity in athletic programs, hiring the finest coaches in the country and the high level of success achieved by studentathletes. Under Alleva’s direction, all 20 LSU sports competed in NCAA post-season play for the first time in school history, and it culminated with the baseball team winning the national championship. In addition, six teams finished in the top 10 nationally. The Tigers hold claim to being the only school in the Southeastern Conference to participate in a bowl game and the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball tournaments during 200809. Furthermore, LSU student-athletes volunteered a total of 2,360 hours for community service projects. LSU earned a ninth place ranking in the 2009 Learfield Director’s Cup, which measures the overall athletic success for institutions across the country. LSU was second only to Florida in the Director’s Cup among SEC institutions as the Tigers accumulated points in 18 of a possible 20 categories in the standings, also a first for the school. Upon being hired at LSU, Alleva immediately made an impact by hiring Trent Johnson to lead the men’s basketball program. Johnson, the 2009 SEC Coach of the Year, wasted little time in turning the Tigers into a winner as LSU claimed the 2009 SEC regular season title and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament. LSU also had top 10 national finishes in gymnastics, men’s and women’s indoor track and field and men’s and women’s outdoor track and field. Thirteen of LSU’s 20 sports finished the year ranked among the top 25 in the nation. The Tiger football team capped their season with a record ninth-straight bowl appearance as LSU closed out 2008 with a 38-3 win over 14th-ranked Georgia Tech in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. During the offseason, Alleva helped secure the funding necessary for the addition of a stateof-the-art artificial turf practice field, which compliments the surface the Tigers have in their indoor practice facility. The addition of the

outdoor artificial turf field gives the LSU football program one of the nation’s finest all-around facilities. Not only did LSU teams set records but so did the fans as over 1.5 million fans filled venues on the LSU campus. LSU set the school record for overall attendance in the sports of football, baseball, and softball. Alleva oversaw the grand opening of two of the premier baseball and softball facilities in college athletics, Alex Box Stadium and Tiger Park. LSU also broke ground on a basketball practice facility that will house both the men’s

and women’s basketball teams starting in December of this year. The new basketball practice facility will feature two full length courts as well as locker rooms and other amenities for both squads. In addition, LSU opened a new gift center for its fans – the LSU SportsShop. The LSU SportsShop, a spectacular, free-standing facility that features the latest in LSU apparel and merchandise, is located adjacent to Mike’s Habitat. Under Alleva’s guidance, LSU has one of the most lucrative apparel and shoe contracts with Nike while also having one of the nation’s most attractive multi-media rights contracts with CBS Collegiate Sports Properties. LSU athletic budget is now approaching $85 million, which allows the university to compete at the highest level in the nation. Alleva has a long-term vision for continued improvements to LSU’s athletic facilities in order to insure that the Tigers are among the best in the

LSU FOOTBALL • 2010 CAPITAL ONE BOWL

LSU

TIGERS REVIEW THE SEASON HISTORY

country well into the 21st Century. One of his top priorities is the enhancement of Tiger Stadium and making Tiger Stadium and the North Stadium Drive corridor a showplace for the university. Alleva’s innovative plan is to make a plaza area between the Maravich Assembly Center and Tiger Stadium that would recognize LSU’s national championship teams and distinguished alumni. This special area, along with Mike’s Habitat, and the LSU SportsShop, would become the focal point for visitors to campus. Alleva is also pursuing a major renovation to the golf course at the University Club and is developing plans for a new gymnastics practice facility, indoor tennis center and improved soccer and track facilities. “Joe Alleva brings a wealth of experience and accomplishment to LSU,” LSU President John Lombardi said of hiring Alleva. “I’m confident we’ve found a new leader for LSU athletics who exemplifies the vision and integrity needed to lead our sports programs to new heights, a champion of student athletes who believes in the highest standards of competition both on the field and in the classroom.” Alleva’s impressive tenure as director of athletics at Duke propelled the university into the ranks of America’s top all-around collegiate programs. Among his outstanding list of accomplishments includes the greatest 10-year period in Duke athletics, winning more ACC and NCAA championships than in any other decade in school history. Also, his fundraising reached extensive heights providing new facilities or renovations for all 26 sports at Duke, which enhanced the experience for every student-athlete. Alleva is active on the national collegiate athletics scene, having served on the Football Bowl Certification Committee. He sat on several Atlantic Coast Conference committees and served on the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet. Alleva majored in Finance at Lehigh University and received his bachelor’s degree in 1975. While at Lehigh, Alleva was the quarterback of the football team and team captain in 1974. Alleva also played on the Lehigh baseball team. He served as a graduate assistant football coach and earned an MBA in 1976. Alleva began his 32-year career at Duke University in 1976. He spent 28 years in the athletic administration prior to becoming director of athletics in 1998. Alleva played a key role in Durham’s community sports scene. He started Little League Baseball in Durham over 20 years ago, and also began the American Legion baseball program Alleva is a member of the North Carolina American Legion Hall of Fame, Suffern High School Hall of Fame and the Rockland County Hall of Fame. Alleva and his wife, Annie, have three children, J.D., Jeff, and Jenny.

EASTSIDE EXPANSION OF TIGER STADIUM $50 Million

LAWTON SQUAD ROOM $1.2 Million

MIKE THE TIGER’S HABITAT $3 Million

Formoreinformationcontact:

The TAF financed an eastside expansion that created 70 Tiger Den suites and added over 11,000 seats to Tiger Stadium making it one of the largest on-campus stadiums in America. This eastside expansion has allowed over 300,000 more fans the opportunity to see LSU football since the expansion was opened in 2000.

The TAF funded the construction of a squad meeting room attached to Tiger Stadium for use by LSU’s athletics teams. Prior to the construction of the Lawton Squad Room, there was no one place in LSU’s athletics complex where the entire football team could meet and view instructional and motivational video presentations. Opened in 1997.

LSU’s legendary live mascot is now in a new home, thanks to the TAF. This new habitat provides Mike with a 15,000-square foot environment with lush planting, a beautiful waterfall and a stream evolving from a rocky backdrop overflowing with plants and trees. LSU now enjoys one of the finest live tiger habitats in America. Opened in the fall of 2005.
