LSU Hosts Virginia Tech In Top 10 Matchup In Tiger StadiumSecond-ranked LSU opens its home schedule Saturday when the Tigers host ninth-ranked Virginia Tech (1-0) at 8:15 p.m. in a soldout Tiger Stadium. The game will be televised to a national audience by ESPN. LSU (1-0) is coming off a 45-0 win over MississippiState last Thursday in Starkville. The Hokies opened their year with a 17-7 victory over East Carolina. It will be only the secondmeeting between the teams and it will mark Tech's first visit to Tiger Stadium. Virginia Tech beat LSU, 26-8, to open the 2002 sea-son in Blacksburg. The LSU-Virginia Tech matchup will mark only the third time in Tiger Stadium history that Death Valley will hosta non-conference contest involving two top 10 teams (last time it happened came in 1987 when No. 4 LSU and No. 7 Ohio Statebattled to a 13-13 tie). LSU brings an eight-game overall winning streak into the contest. The Tigers have also won 13 straightgames in Tiger Stadium, a streak that dates back to the 2005 season. LSU was a perfect 8-0 at home a year ago after winning itsfinal five games in Tiger Stadium in 2005. Saturday's contest will pit two teams that have developed reputations as being the bestin the nation in defense. LSU goes into the Virginia Tech contest ranked No. 1 in the nation in scoring defense (0.0 ppg), pass effi-ciency defense (40.65 rating), turnovers (+7), No. 6 in rush defense (10.0 ypg) and No. 8 in total defense (146.0 ypg). Offensively,LSU QB Matt Flynn will make his first Tiger Stadium start after making the first regular season start of his career last week againstMississippi State. Flynn directed an LSU offense against Mississippi State that scored 45 points, didn't commit a turnover andracked up 347 yards on a wet field. Flynn finished 12 of 19 for 128 yards and a pair of scores. He also rushed for 42 yards on 11carries. Flynn's top target in the opener was that of WR Early Doucet, who hauled in a career-best 9 receptions for 78 yards anda TD. Senior RB Jacob Hester led the Tigers on the ground with 68 yards on 14 carries. Defensively, the Tigers limited the Bulldogsto only 10 rushing yards and just 146 yards of offense. LSU's defense forced seven turnovers, including six interceptions whichwere the most by a Tiger team since 1975. LB Ali Highsmith led the Tigers with 8 tackles, while DT Glenn Dorsey had 5 tackles,2 tackles for losses and a sack. FS Craig Steltz tied a school-record with 3 interceptions in the win over the Bulldogs.

LSU's Defense Overwhelms Mississippi State In 45-0 Win Over BulldogsLSU forced seven turnovers, including six interceptions, as the second-ranked Tigers overwhelmed Mississippi State, 45-0, in theseason-opener for both teams last week. Matt Flynn, making his first regular season start at quarterback, directed a Tiger offensethat didn't commit a turnover and racked up 45 points, the most by an LSU team in an SEC road game since scoring 63 pointsagainst Kentucky in Lexington in 1997. LSU took an early 3-0 lead on a 27-yard field goal by Colt David. The Tigers stretched thelead to 10-0 late in the second quarter on a 1-yard run by Keiland Williams. LSU increased the lead to 17-0 when Williams scoredon a 1-yard run as time expired in the first half. LSU took the opening kickoff to start the second half and put together its best driveof the game, going 73-yards on six plays, capped with a Flynn-to-Early Doucet 11-yard TD pass to run the score to 24-0. BackupQB Ryan Perrilloux engineered a pair of fourth quarter TD drives for the final margin of 45-0. For the game, the Tiger defense lim-ited Mississippi State to just 10 yards rushing and 136 yards passing. The Bulldogs managed just nine first downs, four of whichcame in the first half. Thirty-eight of LSU's 45 points came following an MSU turnover, including all 17 first half points.

“He has a father’s heart, apastoral heart. He looks at itand has real compassion. Heis going to be the kind of guythat kids are going to trust.”

-Bill McCartneyformer Colorado head coach

Les Miles’ first two years with the Tigers have been unmatched in the history of the program. The results are impressive and staggering: 22wins; 13 SEC victories; eight wins over top 25 teams; five wins over top 10 teams; back-to-back top five final rankings; two bowl victories, includingone BCS bowl win; 12 NFL Draft picks and four first-team All-Americans.

After leading LSU to an 11-2 mark and a top five national ranking in his first year as LSU's head coach in 2005, many wondered just whatMiles would do for an encore. His second year with the Tigers proved to be another year full of milestones and firsts as he guided the Tigers toanother 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 seasonsthat 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 it also represented the third time this decade that the Tigers ended theirseason in the Sugar Bowl.

In 2006, Miles became the first coach in LSU history to lead the Tigers to back-to-back 10-wins seasons and with 22 victories in his first 26games as the school's head coach, his win total matched Bernie Moore for the most in school history over that span. He also became the first LSUcoach 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. 8Tennessee in Knoxville followed by a 31-26 victory over No. 5 Arkansas in Little Rock.

The Tigers were able to accomplish all of this during the 2006 season despite having to face four top eight opponents on the road, also a firstin school history. LSU posted a 2-2 mark in those road games, which included November wins over Tennessee and Arkansas that propelled theTigers to a berth in a BCS bowl.

LSU opened the 2006 season in grand style, posting identical 45-3 wins over Louisiana-Lafayette and Arizona. After a gut-wrenching 7-3 lossat No. 3 Auburn, the Tigers reeled off decisive wins over both Tulane (49-7) and Mississippi State (48-17). Following a 23-10 setback to eventualnational champion Florida, the Tigers responded with seven-straight wins to end the season, starting with a 49-0 victory over a Kentucky team whowent on to win eight games and beat Clemson in a bowl game.

The Tigers capped the 2006 season with its 41-14 win over an overmatched Notre Dame team in the Sugar Bowl, giving the Tigers their thirdwin in a BCS game since the 2001 season. The three wins for the Tigers in BCS bowl games since the 2000 season is the most of any SEC teamduring that span.

With a 6-2 SEC mark in 2006, Miles ran his record in conference games to 13-3, which trails only Bernie Moore as the best start for an LSUhead coach in league games in school history. Moore won 15 of his first 16 conference games from 1934-36.

With a makeshift offensive line that featured three first-time starters and a pair of true freshmen running backs having to plug holes in a deplet-ed 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 rank-ing No. 2 in the league in rushing offense (165 yards per game). Defensively, (the Tigers, despite losing three defensive linemen to the NFL Draftfrom the year before), ranked among the top four in the nation in scoring defense, total defense and pass defense.

In all, the Tigers fashioned its 11-2 record against seven teams who went on to play in bowl games as LSU’s schedule was ranked as the 12thtoughest 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 somewhat ordinarycompared to what the Tigers had to endure during his first year in Baton Rouge.

In Miles' inaugural season at LSU he led the Tigers to only the third 11-win season in school history, to a top five national ranking and a berthin the SEC Championship Game despite numerous distractions that covered most of the months of September and October.

The Tigers, playing without starting quarterback and future No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick JaMarcus Russell, put an exclamation point on theyear with a 40-3 win over No. 9 Miami in the Peach Bowl to finish with an 11-2 overall mark and a No. 5 national ranking.

To appreciate just how adverse the conditions that Miles and the Tigers had to overcome in 2005, you have to go back to late August andHurricane Katrina, the first of two storms to devastate the state of Louisiana during the fall.

Days before LSU's originally scheduled season opener against North Texas in Tiger Stadium, Hurricane Katrina blew ashore, packing tremen-dous winds, and turned the state, in particular New Orleans and southeastern Louisiana, upside down.

Massive flooding followed in the wake of the storm as more than 30 LSU players had their families and their homes affected by the hurricaneand 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 tosuccessfully manage a delicate situation, one that saw his team and coaching staff volunteer time to those in need, while still attempting to focus onfootball for at least two hours a day.

After a week of trying to minimize the distractions for a football team that had their apartments and dorm rooms filled with displaced familymembers and friends due to the storm, it appeared that the Tigers would finally get to play a home game, this time against 15th-ranked ArizonaState.

Still, with many in Louisiana under the distress of Hurricane Katrina, the Tigers were going to have to take to the desert to face a powerfuloffense 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 carryingthe 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 itsteam 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, inTempe. 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 theTigers now 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, leav-ing thousands without electricity and displacing even more Louisiana natives. The combination of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita forced LSU to againshuffle its schedule. Instead of playing Tennessee on a Saturday night in Tiger Stadium, the Tigers would now be forced to face the Volunteers on aMonday night. An emotionally drained LSU team saw a 21-0 halftime lead evaporate into a 30-27 overtime loss against the Vols.

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 LSUhistory 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-APeach Bowl. The win gave the Tigers 11 victories for the year, making Miles the winningest first-year coach in school history.

Miles, the 2002 Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year and former assistant with Michigan, Colorado and the Dallas Cowboys who builtOklahoma State into a force in the Big 12, became LSU's 32nd head football coach on Jan. 3, 2005.

During his two years with the Tigers, Miles has put together a 22-4 overall mark, while leading LSU to a 13-3 conference record. LSU has alsohad 12 players selected in the NFL Draft over the past two years, including a school-record four in the first round in 2007, which included the No. 1overall pick in Russell. In addition, LSU has had four players earn first-team All-America status under Miles.

Flynn Shows Versatility In OpenerFifth-year senior QB Matt Flynn showed his ability to both throw it and run it in LSU's opener against Mississippi State.Flynn completed 12 of 19 passes for 128 yards and a pair of scores. He also showed the ability to run the ball, accountingfor 42 yards on 11 carries.

Tiger Offense Steady Under Flynn In OpenerIn a word, LSU's offense was steady under first-time starter Matt Flynn (actually it was his second start, but first in a reg-ular season game). The Tiger offense had balance - 198 yards rushing, 149 passing. The Tigers racked up 45 points and347 yards on what was a wet field in Starkville against Mississippi State.

LSU Goes Without A Turnover In Season OpenerLSU went without a turnover against Mississippi State to open the season last week, marking the first time since the 2000season that the Tigers didn’t have a turnover in a season-opening contest. That year, the Tigers didn’t have a turnover intheir 58-0 season-opening victory over Western Carolina. Dating back to last year, LSU has now gone seven quarters with-out a fumble (final 3 quarters vs. Notre Dame in Sugar Bowl, 4 quarters vs. Mississippi State). LSU QB JaMarcus Russellfumbled in the first quarter against Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. To take it even further, the last time an LSU running backfumbled the football was in the third quarter against Arkansas in week 12 last year when Alley Broussard coughed up theball.

LSU Running Backs Take Care Of The Football LSU’’s running back-by-committee approach has been good at more than just rushing yards and TDs. The group has alsodone a tremendous job of taking care of the football. Of LSU’s four running backs - Jacob Hester, Keiland Williams, CharlesScott, and Richard Murphy - only Hester has lost a fumble on a rushing attempt. Hester’s lost fumble on a rush cameagainst Georgia in what was the first game of his career in 2004. Since then, Hester has gone 140 carries from the runningback position without a fumble. The following is a look at the number of carries LSU’s running backs have toted the foot-ball without a fumble.:

Tiger Defense Picks Off 6 Passes In Opener; Most By LSU Team Since 1975LSU's six interceptions in the season-opener against Mississippi State was the most by an LSU team since having the sametotal against Tulane in 1975. Senior S Craig Steltz tied a school-record with 3 interceptions against the Bulldogs. Steltzbecame just the seventh player in school history, and the first since Corey Webster vs. Florida in 2002, to intercept 3 passesin a game. In all, the Tigers forced 7 turnovers in the 45-0 win over Mississippi State. The school record for interceptions in agame is 8, which was set against Villanova in 1951.

Steltz Outgains State In Second HalfIn addition to tying a school-record for interceptions with 3, LSU S Craig Steltz also outgained Mississippi State's offense inthe second half of last week's game. Steltz accounted for 100 all-purpose yards in the second half, returning one interception49 yards and the other 51 yards. His other interception came in the first half. Steltz's 100-yards in the second half was 29more yards than Mississippi State's offense managed to accumulate in the second half. Steltz's 100 yards also would havemade him the game's leading receiver.

Doucet Sets Personal Best With 9 Catches Against Mississippi StateLSU WR Early Doucet set a career-high with 9 receptions against Mississippi State. Doucet finished the contest by makingall but five of LSU's receptions against the Bulldogs. For the game, Doucet tallied 78 yards and 1 score on his nine recep-tions. Doucet's nine receptions ran his career total to 112, which puts him just 10 catches shy of breaking into LSU's all-timetop 10 list for that category. Doucet's third quarter TD moved his career total to 16, which ties with Tony Moss as the eighth-highest total in school history. Dwayne Bowe holds the school record with 26 TD receptions. A year ago Doucet, establishedhimself as one of the best in the SEC, catching 59 balls for 772 yards and eight TDs.

Dorsey In Line For Special SeasonLast spring DT Glenn Dorsey opted to return to LSU for his senior season, turning down what would have surely been a firstround pick in the NFL Draft. As a result, Dorsey is now in line to get his college degree, while also being put in a position tocontend for some of college football's most prestigious awards. ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit has already called Dorsey, "the bestplayer in college football," heading into 2007. Dorsey has been listed on every preseason All-America team and has beenrated as the best defensive tackle in the nation by several publications. Last year, Dorsey earned First-Team All-America hon-ors after anchoring an LSU defense that ranked among the top five in the nation in yards allowed and scoring. Dorsey openedthe season with a 5-tackle, 2-tackle for loss, 1-sack effort in the 45-0 win over Mississippi State last week. The following is alisting of awards that Dorsey has been listed as a preseason candidate for heading into the 2007 season:Award Given To…Outland Trophy Nation's top interior linemanNagurski Trophy Nation's top defensive playerBednarik Trophy Nation's top defensive playerLott Trophy Nation's defensive IMPACT Player of the YearLombardi Award Nation's top offensive or defensive linemanWalter Camp Player of the Year Nation's top college football player

Running Back Hester Adds To Receiving TotalWhen it comes to catching the ball out of the backfield, RB/FB Jacob Hester has become one of the best in school historyat it. During his LSU career, Hester has 49 receptions from the running back position, a figure that ranks just outside of thetop six in LSU history. A year ago, Hester caught 35 passes, which ranked as the third-highest single-season total in schoolhistory. Gary James (1982-85) holds both the LSU career mark (122) and single-season record (50 in 1985) for receptions bya running back. Hester caught 1 pass for 10 yards in LSU's win over Mississippi State last week.

Hester Does It All For TigersLSU senior RB Jacob Hester does it all for the Tigers. Last week against Mississippi State, Hester led the Tigers in rushingwith 68 yards on 14 carries. He caught 1 pass for 10 yards. He also had 3 tackles on special teams. In all, Hester saw actionon 41 of LSU's 79 offensive plays. He also participated in a total of 18 special teams plays (7 punt, 3 punt returns, 1 kickoff,7 PAT/FG). The 18 special teams plays was the most by any Tiger against Mississippi State.

First Quarter Dominance…. Will It Continue In 2007One big reason for LSU's success last year was its ability to take control of the contest early. Last year, the Tigers outscoredtheir opponents 136 to 27 in the first quarter and 240 to 87 in the first half. LSU didn't allow a single point in the first quar-ter of a game last year until the sixth contest of the year when Florida scored with 11 seconds remaining in the openingframe. In all, LSU held nine of its 12 opponents without a point in the first quarter a year ago. LSU opened the 2007 sea-son by holding Mississippi State scoreless and to just 37 yards of offense in the first quarter last week.

The Bo Pelini "D"Since taking over as defensive coordinator for the Tigers in 2005, defensive coordinator Bo Pelini has put a unit on thefield that rarely allows opponents to reach the 20-point mark. In 27 games with Pelini as its defensive coordinator, LSU hasheld 22 opponents to fewer than 20 points. In addition, 14 of LSU's 27 opponents (52 percent) failed to score more than 10points. Last year, LSU limited seven of its 13 opponents to 10 points or less, including holding Kentucky scoreless, Arizonato 3 points, Fresno State to 6 points, and Auburn to 7 points. The shutout of Mississippi State to open the 2007 seasonmarks the third straight year in which the Tigers have recorded a shutout.

Double-Trouble At CornerLSU cornerbacks Chevis Jackson and Jonathan Zenon are back as returning starters at cornerback for the Tigers in2006. The duo has started opposite each other at the cornerback position for 14 straight games. Last year, Jackson andZenon combined for 6 interceptions for an LSU defense that ranked No. 1 in the SEC and No. 3 in the nation in passdefense.

A New Starter At Free Safety For The TigersWith LaRon Landry taking his game to the NFL, LSU had new starter at the free safety position for the first time since the2003 season against Mississippi State. Curtis Taylor, a junior, started at free safety against the Bulldogs, snapping a streakof 48 games in which the same player (LaRon Landry) started at that position for the Tigers. Taylor responded with 3 tack-les and 1 interception, which he returned 22 yards.

First Time StartersLSU had four players make their first career start against Mississippi State. First time starters for the Tigers in the season-opener included RG Lyle Hitt, RT Carnell Stewart, FB Quinn Johnson and FS Curtis Taylor. Hitt and Stewart are bothconverted defensive lineman who were playing on the offensive side of the football for the first time in their career. Johnsonis also a converted linebacker who is in his second season on the offensive side of the ball.

Six True Freshmen See Action In OpenerLSU put six true freshmen on the field in the season opener against Mississippi State. True freshmen who saw action in thewin over the Bulldogs were: PK Josh Jasper, PK Andrew Crutchfield, LT Jarvis Jones, RT Joseph Barksdale, WRTerrance Toliver and DB Chad Jones.

Double-Duty Tigers Three members of the LSU football team also participate in other sports on campus. Wide receiver Jared Mitchell anddefensive back Chad Jones are on the baseball team, while wide out/return specialist Trindon Holliday is on the trackteam. Here's a look at how these players fared while competing in their "other" sport:

Trindon Holliday - sprinter - track and fieldEstablished himself as one of the nation's premier sprinters on the track with his outstanding performance in the spring. Heearned a pair of All-America honors at the 2007 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in June. He finished as theNCAA runner-up in the 100-meter dash after ripping up the track with a time of 10.06 seconds in the final while also anchor-ing the Tigers' fearsome 4x100-meter relay team to a second-place finish with a seasonal best time of 38.85. In addition,Holliday etched his name in the record books with his performance as he shattered the school record in the 100-meter dashwith a seasonal best time of 10.02, eclipsing the mark of 10.09 set by LSU great and former two-sport standout XavierCarter in 2006.

Jared Mitchell - centerfield - baseball Last year as a true freshman, Mitchell started 55 games at centerfield for the Tiger baseball team, batting .258 (54-of-209)with eight doubles, a triple, three homers and 21 RBI. He also became the first freshman since 1998 to lead the team insteals with 18. The stolen bases put him fourth in the SEC in that department and represented the most by an LSU playersince 2004. Mitchell, the 10th-round selection of the Minnesota Twins in the 2006 Major League Draft, was named SECFreshman of the Week on Feb. 26.

Chad Jones - outfielder - baseball Jones, a left-handed outfielder from Southern Lab High School, was picked in the 13th round by the Houston Astros in the2007 Major League Draft. He will make his debut for the Tiger baseball team this spring.

What's New For LSU in 2007The Tigers have three new assistant coaches on the staff, including offensive coordinator Gary Crowton, who is consid-ered one of the most innovative minds in football. Other newcomers to the staff include offensive line coach Greg Studrawaand receivers coach D.J. McCarthy.

Three Members of LSU Coaching Staff Have Wins As Division I Head CoachesLSU is one of the few schools in the country that can lay claim to having three coaches on its staff who have picked up winsas a head coach at the Division I level. Head coach Les Miles has combined to win 51 games at LSU and Oklahoma State,offensive coordinator Gary Crowton has a combined 47 victories after stints at Louisiana Tech and BYU and defensivecoordinator Bo Pelini won his only game as the interim head coach at Nebraska during the 2003 season.

D-Line UYou can now refer to LSU as D-line U as the Tigers have made it a habit of producing All-Americans and NFL Drafts fromits defensive line. Since the 2003 season, LSU has had five defensive linemen earn First-Team All-America status andseven members of its defensive line selected in the NFL Draft. Senior defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey earned First-TeamAll-America recognition in 2006 and then opted to return to LSU for his senior season despite being projected as a firstround pick in last spring's NFL Draft. 2003 DT Chad Lavalais - First-Team All-America; 5th round NFL Draft pick

DE Marquise Hill - 2nd round NFL Draft pick

2004 DE Marcus Spears - First Team All-America; 1st round NFL Draft pick

2005 DT Kyle Williams - First Team All-America; 5th round NFL Draft pickDT Claude Wroten - First Team All-America; 3rd round NFL Draft pickDE Melvin Oliver - 6th round NFL Draft pick

2006 DT Glenn Dorsey - First Team All-AmericaDE Chase Pittman - 5th round NFL Draft pick

Oh Brother LSU has two sets of brothers on this years team - defensive end Rahim Alem (formerly Al Jones) and defensive backChad Jones are brothers as are center Brett Helms and offensive lineman Trey Helms. Alem is a backup defensive endfor the Tigers, while Jones serve as either a nickel back or dime back in LSU's subpackages on defense. Brett Helms isLSU's starter at center, while Trey is a walkon true freshman.

LSU Sack Streak At 20 Straight LSU ran its streak of games with a sack to 20 straight against Mississippi State after the Tigers had 4 sacks against theBulldogs. The last time LSU failed to record a sack came during the 2005 season against North Texas.

LSU's Defense Overwhelms Miss. State In 45-0 Win Over BulldogsLSU forced seven turnovers, including six interceptions, as the second-ranked Tigers over-whelmed Mississippi State, 45-0, in the season-opener for both teams last week. MattFlynn, making his first regular season start at quarterback, directed a Tiger offense that did-n't commit a turnover and racked up 45 points, the most by an LSU team in an SEC roadgame since scoring 63 points against Kentucky in Lexington in 1997. LSU took an early 3-0 lead on a 27-yard field goal by Colt David. The Tigers stretched the lead to 10-0 late inthe second quarter on a 1-yard run by Keiland Williams. LSU increased the lead to 17-0when Williams scored on a 1-yard run as time expired in the first half. LSU took the open-ing kickoff to start the second half and put together its best drive of the game, going 73-yards on six plays, capped with a Flynn-to-Early Doucet 11-yard TD pass to run the scoreto 24-0. Backup QB Ryan Perrilloux engineered a pair of fourth quarter TD drives for thefinal margin of 45-0. For the game, the Tiger defense limited Mississippi State to just 10yards rushing and 136 yards passing. The Bulldogs managed just nine first downs, four ofwhich came in the first half. Thirty-eight of LSU's 45 points came following an MSU turnover,including all 17 first half points.
