Rohan Davey came off the bench in the second half to lead the Tigers to a 28-14 come-from-behind win over Georgia Tech in the Peach Bowl in Atlanta. Trailing 14-3 at halftime, Davey started the second half and led the Tigers to a TD on their first possession. In all, Davey threw three second half TD passes, tying an LSU bowl record, and he finished the contest 17-of-25 for 174 yards. Davey hit wideout Josh Reed on a 9-yard scoring pass early in the fourth quarter to give the Tigers the lead for good at 17-14. Reed finished the game with nine receptions for 96 yards, while fullback Tommy Banks capped his senior season with two TD receptions and a career-best seven catches for 71 yards. Georgia Tech entered the contest with only 12 turnovers all season, however the Tiger defense forced the Yellow Jackets into six turnovers, including four fumbles as LSU wrapped up its first season under Nick Saban with an 8-4 mark.
