1. BCS National Championship Marker
Matt Flynn tied a school-record with four TD passes as LSU overcame an early 10-0 deficit to post a 38-24 win over top-ranked Ohio State in the BCS National Championship Game in New Orleans. The victory capped-a 12-2 season for the Tigers as LSU won its second BCS title in five years and third overall. Trailing 10-0 in the first quarter, the Tigers dominated the rest of the way, scoring 31 unanswered points over the next two quarters to put the game out of reach. LSU tied the score at 10-10 on a 10-yard TD pass from Flynn to Richard Dickson and then took the lead for good at 17-10 when Flynn connected with Brandon LaFell on a 10-yard strike. LSU led 24-10 at halftime when Jacob Hester scored on a 1-yard plunge that was setup by a Chevis Jackson interception. LSU's lead went to 31-10 on a 4-yard TD reception by Early Doucet at the 9:04 mark in the third quarter as the Tigers were never threatened after that.
Erected by LSU, Jared and Jason Monk.
