1. Cotton Bowl Marker
LSU rushed for a season-high 288 yards and quarterback Jordan Jefferson accounted for four touchdowns as the 11th-ranked Tigers beat 18th-ranked Texas A&M, 41-24, in the 2011 Cotton Bowl in Cowboys Stadium. LSU spotted the Aggies an early 10-0 lead before eventually taking a 28-17 lead at halftime. Jefferson ran for a TD and threw a pair of TD passes to Terrence Toliver in the first half. LSU extended the lead to 35-17 three minutes into the second half when Jefferson connected with Toliver for his third score of the game. LSU's defense forced four Texas A&M turnovers - three interceptions and one fumble - and held the Aggies to only 114 total yards in the second half. Freshman Tyrann Mathieu was named the defensive MVP of the game after forcing three turnovers to go with seven tackles and a sack, while Toliver earned offensive MVP honors. LSU finished the year 11-2.
