1. Peach Bowl Marker
Matt Flynn, making his first career start, threw for 196 yards and two TDs as LSU posted its most lopsided bowl victory ever in a 40-3 win over No. 9 Miami in the Peach Bowl in Atlanta. 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 after the first quarter, the Tiger defense took over limiting the Hurricanes to just two first downs and 38 yards for the remainder of the game. 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 field goal that put LSU up 13-3, LSU stretched the lead to 20-3 at halftime on a 4-yard pass from Flynn to Addai. The game was never in question after that as the Tigers held Miami to only six first downs and 153 yards for the contest. Flynn earned offensive MVP honors as the Tigers finished their first year under Les Miles with an 11-2 record.
