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 three-yard 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 To Face Penn Statein 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.

Tigers Go For 100thWin This DecadeAgainst Penn StateLSU 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 Looks ToJoin Elite CompanyA 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 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 Won21 Bowl GamesLSU 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 TheCapital One BowlLSU 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.

LSU And The BCS BowlsLSU 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 StraightLSU 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 last-second 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 PaternoLSU 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

LSU FootbaLL • 2010 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.

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 MilesLSU 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 GamesLSU 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 HistoryWith 51 wins in five years, LSU coach Les Miles is the third-winningest 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:

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’sJacobs TrophyCiron 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 All-SEC SquadFive 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 DiplomaEight 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.

LSU’s Four Linebackers Leading The Tigers On DefenseLSU’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 double-figure 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.



The LSU Defense• LSU is third in the SEC and 12th in the nation

in scoring defense at 16 points per game.• LSU has allowed just 6 rushing TDs all year –

the second lowest total in the nation. • LSU hasn’t allowed a first quarter touchdown

In 1985, the linebacker foursome of Shawn Burks (113), Toby Caston (99), Michael Brooks (75) and Ron Sancho (72) were the Tigers’ leading tacklers.

The LSU Offense• LSU’s Brandon LaFell and Terrance Toliver

have combined for more receptions (99) than any other wide receiver tandem in the SEC. LaFell leads the Tigers with 52 catches for 705 yards and 10 TDs, while Toliver has 47 catches for 654 yards and 3 scores.

LSU’s Won At Least 8 Games For 10th Straight YearThe win over Louisiana Tech was the eighth of the year for the Tigers and it extended LSU’s streak with at least eight wins to 10 consecutive seasons. LSU has won at least eight games every year this decade. LSU’s streak of 10 seasons with at least eight wins currently ranks as the nation’s fifth best total. Here’s a look at those teams with a current streak of winning at least eight:

Rank No. Team1. 13 Georgia 2. 12 Texas 12 Virginia Tech4. 11 Boise State5. 10 LSU 10 Oklahoma

LSU vs. the Big 10 LSU has compiled a 7-4-1 mark against Big 10 Conference members. The Tigers have faced seven of the league’s 11 schools – all but Michigan, Minnesota, Northwestern and Purdue. LSU has won three of its last four contests against Big 10 schools dating back to a 45-26 triumph over Michigan State in the 1995 Independence Bowl. Kevin Faulk scampered for 234 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns highlighted by a 51-yard dash to put the Tigers ahead for good in the third quarter. LSU is 3-2-0 against Big 10 schools in bowl games and most recently picked up a 38-24 victory over Ohio State in the 2008 BCS National Championship game. After falling behind 10-0, the Tigers mounted a furious comeback behind Matt Flynn’s four touchdown passes, which included a pair to Richard Dickson. LSU also won a 47-34 shootout against Illinois in the 2002 Sugar Bowl as the Tigers exploded for 27 second quarter points. Rohan Davey threw for 444 yards and three scores, while Domanick Davis rushed for 122 yards and four touchdowns.

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:

LSU Does It Again…Records 13th Fourth-Quarter Comeback Under MilesFor the 13th time under Les Miles, LSU won a football game despite trailing in the fourth quarter as the Tigers rallied from a 30-27 deficit with just over a minute left in the contest to beat Arkansas in overtime on Nov. 28. It marked the second time this year that the Tigers came from behind in the final two minutes of a game to win. Earlier this year, LSU rallied in the final minute to beat Georgia, 20-13. The following is a look at LSU’s fourth quarter comebacks under Miles, how many points the Tigers had to overcome in the final frame to win and the quarterback who engineered the comeback:

YEAR OPPONENT SITUATION RESULTS QB

2005 at Arizona St. scored TD with 1:13 left W, 35-31 Russell (LSU trailed 17-7 entering 4Q; LSU scored 28 4Q points)2005 Florida scored TD with 12:35 left W, 21-14 Russell (LSU trailed 17-14 in 4Q) 2005 Auburn kicked FG with 1:40 left to force OT W, 20-17 Russell (LSU trailed 17-14 with less than 5 minutes to play) 2006 at Tennessee scored TD with 9 seconds left W, 28-21 Russell (LSU trailed 24-21 with less than 8 minutes left in 4Q) 2006 Ole Miss scored TD with 14 sec. left to force OT W, 23-20 ot Russell (LSU trailed 20-7 with less than 9 minutes left in 4Q)2007 Florida scored TD with 1:06 left W, 28-24 Flynn (LSU trailed 24-14 to start 4Q)2007 Auburn scored TD with :01 left W, 30-24 Flynn (LSU trailed 24-23 with 3:12 left in the 4Q)2007 Alabama scored TD with 1:26 left W, 41-34 Flynn (LSU trailed 34-27 with 4:53 left in 4Q)2007 Tennessee scored TD with 9:54 left W, 21-14 Perrilloux (LSU trailed 14-13 with less than 10 minutes left in 4Q)2008 at Auburn scored TD with 1:03 left W, 26-21 Lee ( LSU trailed 21-20 with 4:00 left in 4Q)2008 Troy scored go ahead TD with 4:50 left W, 40-31 Lee (LSU trailed 31-10 to start 4Q)2009 at Georgia scored go ahead TD with 0:46 left W, 20-13 Jefferson (LSU trailed 13-12 with 1:09 left) 2009 Arkansas kicked FG with 4 seconds left to force OT W, 33-30 Jefferson (LSU trailed 30-27 with 1:18 left)

He Must Be A Former LinemanOne 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 LSU 100+ LSU 100- OPP 100+ OPP 100- LSU 100+/OPP 100-

2005 10-0 1-2 3-1 8-1 7-02006 10-0 1-2 5-0 6-2 6-02007 11-2 1-0 3-2 9-0 8-02008 8-3 0-2 2-5 6-0 7-02009 8-0 1-3 7-2 2-0 2-0Totals 47-5 4-9 20-11 31-3 30-0

Game 1 Notes vs. Washington• LSU ran just 48 offensive plays in the

season-opener against Washington. The 48 offensive plays were the fewest by an LSU team since the 1965 season when the Tigers mustered just 45 snaps in a 23-0 loss to Ole Miss on Oct. 30. LSU, 5-1 and ranked No. 5 in the nation at the time, managed just 52 yards of offense that day against the Rebels.

• LSU LB Jacob Cutrera intercepted a pass on his first play (Washington’s first play of second drive) and returned it 29 yards for a TD. Cutrera became the first LSU player to return an interception for a TD since CB Jonathan Zenon did it against Tennessee in the 2007 SEC Championship Game. He’s the first linebacker to do it since Kenny Hollis scored on a 3-yard interception return against Tennessee in 2005.

Game 2 Notes vs. Vanderbilt• LSU senior Rahim Alem was named SEC

Defensive Player of the Week for his play in the Tigers’ 23-9 win over Vanderbilt. Alem recorded a career-best seven tackles, a sack and a pass breakup in the victory.

Game 3 Notes vs. UL-Lafayette• LSU stretched its non-conference winning

streak to a nation’s best 21 straight.• FS Chad Jones became the first Tiger to

intercept two passes in a game since Chris Hawkins did it against Auburn in 2008.

• LSU ran its streak of not allowing a TD to six consecutive quarters.

Game 4 Notes vs. Mississippi State• Chad Jones returned a fourth quarter punt 93

yards for a TD. The 93-yard punt return ranks as the second-longest in school history.

• For the second straight week, LSU’s defense had a goalline stand - this time coming with just over a minute left in the contest, which preserved the Tiger victory.

• LSU CB Patrick Peterson returned an interception 37 yards for a touchdown on Mississippi State’s first offensive play.

Game 5 Notes vs. Georgia• LSU limited Georgia to just one first down

and 49 total yards in the first half.• LSU RB Charles Scott ran for a 33-yard score

with just under a minute left as the Tigers recorded their 12th fourth quarter comeback under Les Miles.

• LSU won in Athens for the first time since 1987.

• With the win, LSU coach Les Miles has now beat every team in the SEC at least once.

Game 6 Notes vs. Florida • LSU’s streak of 32 straight Saturday night

wins in Tiger Stadium came to an end. • LSU limited Florida to 13 points, the fewest

by the Tigers against the Gators since a 36-7 LSU win in 2002.

• LSU LB Kelvin Sheppard registered a career-best 13 tackles.

Game 7 Notes vs. Auburn• Russell Shepard scored his first career TD on

a 69-yard run during the third quarter.• LSU limited Auburn to just 42 total yards in

the first half and only 193 for the game. • LSU QB Jordan Jefferson set career highs for

completions (21), attempts (31) and yards (242).

• LB Harry Coleman had 2 sacks and forced 2 fumbles in the game.

Game 8 Notes vs. Tulane• Charles Scott had the first 100-yard rushing

game of the year vs. Tulane with 112 yards. • LSU had season highs for points (42), total

offense (455) and rushing offense (267).• LSU shutout an opponent for the first time

since the 2007 season.• The Tigers limited Tulane to just 26 rushing

yards and 216 total yards.• LSU blocked a punt in a game for the first

time since the 2006 contest against Florida.

Game 9 Notes vs. Alabama• LSU held its fifth straight opponent without

a first quarter touchdown.• LSU intercepted a pass in its 11 straight

game.• TE Deangelo Peterson caught the first TD of

his career with a second quarter score.• LSU held Alabama to just 55 yards rushing in

the first half.

Game 10 Notes vs. Louisiana Tech• LSU coach Les Miles ran his non-conference

record to 23-0.• LSU ran the nation’s longest non-conference

winning streak to 23 straight.• Keiland Williams started in place of an

injured Charles Scott and rushed for 116 yards and 2 TDs.

• LSU held an opponent without a first quarter TD for the sixth straight game.

Game 11 Notes vs. Ole Miss• Rueben Randle scored for the first time as a

Tiger as he caught a pair of TD passes in the contest.

• LSU held its opponent without a first quarter TD for the seventh straight game.

• LSU scored on special teams when Patrick Peterson picked up a blocked field goal and raced 53 yards for a touchdown.

Game 12 Notes vs. Arkansas• LSU won for the second time in 2009 despite

trailing with two minutes left in the game. • LSU PK Josh Jasper tied a school-record with

four field goals, including a 41-yarder to tied the game with 4 seconds left. Jasper’s 36-yarder won the game in overtime for the Tigers.

“Best stadium- Tiger Stadium, LSU. The pre game festivities. The deafening noise- there’s no other place like it. ... it’s the freakiest, funkiest, most frenetic place in all of college football.”- Matt Hayes, Sporting News Today, July 8, 2009

“The toughest place to play in the SEC is LSU, Death Valley. The fans there are relentless. They don’t stop at all. They keep going.” - Former Arkansas RB Darren McFadden

“Usually when the opposing team does well, the crowd quiets down. All I began to hear was a chant ‘L-S-U, L-S-U.’ It got louder and louder and louder. It was the loudest I’ve ever heard a stadium.” - Georgia Head Coach Mark Richt (on the 2003

LSU-Georgia game)

“It’s like walking into a movie set. Your ears become sensitive to what you hear and the thou-sands of people around you are screaming at the top of their lungs. It’s mindboggling to see this as you walk through those doors and onto the field.” - Tyson Jackson, 2009 LSU NFL First Round Draft

“Best scene in college football is at LSU on a Saturday night.”- Beano Cook, ESPN (2008)

I had always heard about night games at Tiger Stadium and had never gotten the chance to call one. It was really special to be a part of that.” - Verne Lundquist, CBS Sports

GamedayCountdown to KickoffHours prior to kickoff, the excitement level among the thousands of LSU fans builds outside of Tiger Stadium. Fans party with the bands that take the stage at Tiger One Village.

IN TIGERTOWN

“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 sta-

dium deep into the heart of the campus.

And that was just Friday night.”

- Stewart Mandel, SI.com; Sept. 21, 2003

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.

The aroma of seasoned boiled crawfish and shrimp fills the campus creating a flavor and flair unlike any tailgating experience in the nation.

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.

Tailgating at LSU

A COLLEGE FOOTBALL EXPERIENCE LIKE NO OTHER

“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.

LSU’s Football Operations Center is an all-in-one facility that includes football offices, locker room, training room, weight room, equipment room and video operations center. The $15 million facility is located on Skip Bertman Drive at the Charles McClendon Practice Facility. Built in 2006, the facility is one of the finest of its kind in college athletics, allowing more efficient time for dressing, training and practicing for the LSU football team. Football

OPERATIONS CENTER

The atrium of the Football Operations Center houses over 50 trophies displaying the great moments in LSU football history. Here the past and present of LSU football is celebrated with memorabilia that dates back to the 1930s.

Ten individual players are honored for national awards in the atrium with the oldest trophy being the 1939 Knute Rockne Award presented to Ken Kavanaugh. Billy Cannon’s 1959 Heisman Trophy (above) serves as one of the atrium’s most popular displays.

THE SEASON

HISTORy

LSU’s 66 All-Americans are on display in the atrium. The atrium has 10 kiosks that display that honor LSU’s greatest teams. This one exhibits the accomplishments of the 2007 National Championship team, including the Coaches’ Trophy and the SEC Championship Trophy.

A mural outside the position meeting rooms honors LSU’s first round NFL Draft picks. Helmets of all 32 NFL teams and a listing of each LSU player who has played for that respective team is also on display.

LSU’s 207 first-team All-Southeastern Conference selections are honored on a wall outside the weight room. Images of each decade in LSU football history span along the top of the display.

100-Yard IndoorFOOTBALL FIELDThe Anderson-Feazel LSU Indoor Field is a 100-yard climate-controlled practice facility connected to the Operations Center. Built in 1991, the area is 8,250 square feet with Momentum Field Turf by SportExe similar to the Louisiana Superdome.

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.

Game 2

Strong Defensive effort and efficient offense Lead LSU past Vanderbilt, 23-9Keiland 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, 31-3Another 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 non-conference 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.

Jones punt return and Last-Minute Goalline Stand Help tigers past Mississippi State, 30-26Chad 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, 20-13Charles 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 game-winning 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.

Game 6

Florida Defense too Much For LSU as tigers Fall to top-ranked Gators, 13-3LSU’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 auburnThe 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.

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.

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.

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.

LSU rally Falls Short at ole Miss, 25-23A 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, 33-30Josh 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.

January 1, 1936 (35,000)

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.

The Tigers scored their last touchdown late in the game, long after Santa Clara coach Buck Shaw had cleared his bench.

January 1, 1944 (32,191)

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.

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.

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 two-yard TD run.

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 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.

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.

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 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 nine-yards 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 2005 CHICK-FIL-A PEACH BOWL Miami (Fla.) 3 0 0 0 -- 3LSU 3 17 14 6 -- 40

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.

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.

Eddie Kennison set an LSU bowl record with a 92-yard kickoff return against Michigan State in the 1995 Independence Bowl.


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 AllevaLSU Vice-Chancellor/Director of Athletics

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 student-athletes. 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 2008-09. 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 state-of-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

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.

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.
