LSU Tigers (3-3) vs. Kentucky Wildcats (2-4)
LSU LOOKS TO GET BACK ON THE WINNING TRACK AGAINST KENTUCKY
The LSU Fighting Tigers will look to even their record in conference play this Saturday when Kentucky comes to Tiger Stadium for a 7 p.m. contest. The Tigers fell to 3-3 overall and 1-2 in SEC play with a 41-9 loss at Florida last weekend in Gainseville, while Kentucky remained winless in SEC action as the Wildcats dropped a 20-17 decision to South Carolina inLexington. Kentucky enters Saturday’s contest riding a 3-game losing streak and the Wildcats are 2-4 overall and an 0-3 league play. Kentucky is 0-3 on the road this season having dropped games at Louisville (40-34 OT), at Florida (59-31) and at Ole Miss (35-17). Last year, Kentucky posted a 31-5 win over the Tigers in Lexington. Kentucky has won two straight against LSU and the Wildcats have never won three in a row against the Tigers since the series started back in 1949. LSU is 20-5-1 all-time vs. Kentucky in Baton Rouge.
TIGER MISCUES LEAD TO 41-9 LOSS AT FLORIDA
There has been one common theme in LSU's roller-coaster start this season - when the Tigers turn the ball over they don't win. The Tigers turned the ball over four times and got none in return last weekend en route to a 41-9 loss at Florida. Gator quarterback Rex Grossman completed 18-of-28 passed for 276 yards and 3 TD passes, all to Jabar Gaffney, while Robert Gillespie came up with 120 yards rushing on 19 carries to pace Florida. Grossman hit Gaffney with a pair of first half TDs to help the Gators to a 17-3 lead. The two hooked up for the third time less than five minutes into the third quarter on a 59-yard strike to move the lead to 24-3. The Tigers cut the lead to 279 on a 5-yard TD pass from Josh Booty to Robert Royal before Florida added two late touchdowns for the final margin of victory.

Notes On The Game: * The Tigers forced Florida to punt on its opening possession, marking the 11th consecutive game LSU has held the opposition without an opening possession score. * Reggie Robinson's second quarter reception marked the 23rd consecutive game in which he caught a pass. Josh Reed caught a pass in his ninth straight games since moving from running back to receiver and Jerel Myers extended his streak to 17 straight. * Domanick Davis' 31-yard punt return was the longest of his career (early 3rd quarter). It was the longest punt return by a Tiger since Larry Foster returned one for a touchdown 50 yards against Idaho in 1998. * The Josh Booty to Domanick Davis pass and run which covered 54 yards was the Tigers' seventh this season of 45 yards or more this season and the longest catch of Davis' career. * Robert Royal's fourth quarter touchdown reception was his third of the season, tying the most for a Tigers tight end since Kyle Kipps (when he was still a tight end) in 1998.

THE LSU-KENTUCKY SERIES LSU owns a decisive advantage in its series with Kentucky, posting a 34-15-1 all-time record. The Tigers, however, have dropped back-to-back decisions to Kentucky. Two years ago Tim Couch led Kentucky on a late field goal drive to beat the Tigers 39-36 in a thriller at Death Valley, while a year ago Dusty Bonner led the Cats to a convincing 31-5 win in Lexington. The teams split their 10 meetings in the 1990s. LSU's last win was a 63-28 win in Lexington in 1997 in which Kevin Faulk registered a career-high five touchdowns to go along with 212 yards on the ground.

LSU VS. THE SEC EASTERN DIVISION LSU enters the Kentucky contest with a 1-1 mark vs. the SEC Eastern Division this season. The Tigers are 7-18-1 vs. SEC Eastern Division teams since the league split into divisions in 1992. A win on Saturday vs. Kentucky would give the Tigers a 2-1 mark vs. the SEC Eastern Division this season and it would mark only the third time (in nine years) in which LSU would finish with a winning record vs. the SEC East. LSU went 3-0 vs. the SEC East in 1997 and in 1996, the Tigers posted a 2-1 mark. Of LSU’s seven wins vs. Eastern Division teams since 1992, three have come against Kentucky, while two were against Vanderbilt and one each vs. Florida and Tennessee. RUN DOMANICK, RUN LSU’s sophomore tailback/return specialist Domanick Davis has developed into one of the top all-purpose threats in the SEC. Through six games, Davis ranks third in the SEC, and 29th in the nation, with an average of 139.8 all-purpose yards a contest. Against Florida on Saturday, Davis put together another impressive all-purpose yard performance as he racked up 193 yards on 15 attempts. Davis picked up only six yards rushing vs. Florida, but he added 57 yards receiving on two catches and he returned four kickoffs for 94 yards and two punts for 36 yards. The 193 all-purose yards for Davis marked his second-highest total of the season, trailing only the 226 yards he accumulated against UAB.

DAVEY’S STREAK OF NO INTERCEPTIONS ENDS AT 70 LSU quarterback Rohan Davey’s streak of consecutive passes without an interception came to an end in the opening drive of the third quarter against Florida. Prior to his interception against Florida, Davey had thrown 70 straight passes without an interception. That streak dated back to his final pass against Houston in the 10th week of the 1999 season. Through six games this season, Davey has completed 38 of 59 passes for 577 yards, 7 TDs and just one interception. Earlier this year, Davey connected on all 11 of his passes in LSU’s win over Western Carolina. The 11 of 11 performance set the school-record and also stretched his streak of consecutive completions to 17 straight, which is the third-highest total in SEC history. TIGERS DEFENSE CONTINUES TO BE TOUGH ON OPENING DRIVES LSU extended its streak of holding the opposition without points on their opening drive against Florida on Saturday. The streak now stands at 11 straight games without allowing an opponent to score on their opening possession. The streak dates back to last year when Kentucky scored on its first possession on its way to a 31-5 victory over the Tigers in the sixth week of the season. LSU DEFENSE FINALLY YIELDS FIRST QUARTER TD The LSU defense finally gave up a first quarter touchdown as Florida scored a TD with 54 seconds left in the opening quarter on Saturday. Florida’s first quarter TD was the first allowed by the Tigers since Houston scored in the opening stanza in Week 10 of the 1999 season. Through six games this season, the Tigers have allowed just 13 (3 by UAB, 3 by Tennessee, 7 by Florida) first quarter points, compared to the 33 points in which LSU has put on the board in the first period. LSU DEFENSE STILL TOPS IN SEC BY ALLOWING JUST 3 RUSHING TDS Despite giving up a pair of rushing touchdowns vs. Florida, the LSU defense still ranks first in the SEC by allowing only three rushing TDs all season. Through six games, Auburn and Florida are the only teams that have scored a rushing TD against the Tigers. LSU is currently allowing 125.2 yards rushing a contest. Last year, the Tigers allowed over 150 yards rushing a game, last in the SEC, and they also gave up 18 rushing touchdowns, which ranked 11th in the league. REED HAS ANOTHER SOLID EFFORT VS. FLORIDA When Josh Reed lined up at receiver for the first time against Alabama last season, the Tigers couldn’t have possibly imagined what they discovered. Nine games later, Reed has developed into not only LSU’s top receiving threat, but one of the most dangerous receivers in the SEC. Over the last nine games, Reed has surpassed the 100-yard barrier four times, including three times this season. Reed led LSU with four receptions for 50 yards vs. Florida on Saturday. In six games this season, Reed has caught six TD passes, four of which have been 45 yards or longer, which includes a 75-yard TD reception vs. Auburn. In LSU’s three SEC games this season, Reed has caught 19 passes for 363 yards and 5 TDs. Reed’s 6 TDs this season are the most for an LSU player since Sheddrick Wilson had six in 1995. Wilson was the only LSU player in the 1990s with more than five TD receptions in a season. The last two LSU players to have more than six TD catches in a season were Tony Moss and Eddie Fuller with nine each in 1989. Over the last nine games dating back to 1999, Reed is averaging four catches and nearly 80 yards per game. The following is a game-by-game look at Reed’s numbers since being converted to receiver from tailback last season: Game 1999 at Alabama Houston Arkansas 2000 Western Carolina Houston at Auburn UAB Tennessee Florida TOTALS Receptions 2 5 1 5 3 8 4 7 4 39 1 137 76 167 53 146 50 763 Yards 33 100 0 1 0 2 0 3 0 6 TDs 0 Long 22 0 1 47 30 75 17 53 26 75 33

BOOTY PASSES ENSMINGER ON LSU’S ALL-TIME PASSING YARDAGE LIST With 184 yards passing vs. Florida, LSU junior quarterback Josh Booty moved past Steve Ensminger into eighth place on LSU’s all-time passing yardage chart. Since joining the Tigers last year, Booty has already thrown for 2,850 yards. Booty currently stands 328 yards shy of passing Chad Loup (3,167 yards) for seventh place. REED LEADS SEC AND RANKS FIFTH IN NATION IN RECEIVING YARDS/GAME Despite catching four balls for just 50 yards vs. Florida, LSU sophomore wide out Josh Reed maintained his position as the top ranking receiver in the league with 104.8 receiving yards a contest. Reed also ranks fifth nationally. Reed’s six receiving TDs ranks second in the league, while his 31 total catches are tied for second. In six
games this season, Reed has caught 31 passes for 629 yards for an average of 20.3 yards per reception. ROBINSON AND MYERS EXTEND RECEPTION STREAKS With receptions against Florida, LSU’s Reggie Robinson and Jerel Myers kept their streak of games with at least one catch alive. Robinson has caught at least one pass in his last 23 games, while Myers has caught a pass in 17 straight games, which also represents every game of his career. Robinson’s streak of 23 straight games with a receptions is the longest active streak on the team. BIG PLAY RETURNS TO LSU PASSING ATTACK LSU’s big play passing attack made another appearance on Saturday vs. Florida as Domanick Davis turned a simple screen pass into a 54-yard gain for the Tigers. The 54-yard catch-and-run marks the seventh time this season the Tigers have had a pass play cover 45 yards or more. The 54-yard play was also the longest reception of Davis’ career. Through six games this season, the Tigers have recorded nine scoring plays of 30 yards or longer, which includes an 80-yard pass from Josh Booty to Reggiie Robinson vs. Western Carolina and a 75-yard Booty to Josh Reed pass vs. Auburn. Those two scoring plays mark the first time since 1994 (Jamie Howard to Brett Bech, 76 and 81 yard passes). that the Tigers have had two scoring passing plays cover at least 75 yards in the same season. So far this season, nine of LSU’s 14 scoring plays through the air have been 30 yards or longer. Last year, the Tigers had just four TD passes of 30 yards or longer, three of which came in the season-finale vs. Arkansas.

LSU MAKING THE MOST OF MAKE-SHIFT O-LINE LSU’s offensive line took another hit against Florida as starting left tackle Brandon Winey missed the entire second half of the game with bruised ribs. Jason Baggett filled in for Winey in the second half. LSU’s second half lineup on the offensive line was without four season-opening projected starters and a fifth player (Louis Williams) was playing a different position (center) from what he started the season at. So far this year, the Tigers have had four starters on the offensive line miss significant time. For the last two games, the Tigers have been without three players on the offensive line that were starters when the season-openeed. Senior tackle Trey Langely (torn ACL) is out for the season after suffering his injury vs. Houston. Sophomore guard Bob Wynne (neck) hasn’t played since the Houston game, while senior center John Compton (concussion) has missed the last two games. In their absence, Louis Williams moved from his normal spot at left guard to start at center and redshirt freshman Rodney Reed, a third team guard less than a month ago, started at left guard. FIRST-TIME STARTERS FOR LSU THIS SEASON Through six games LSU has used 10 first-time starters this season. Redshirt freshmen Rodney Reed was the latest first-time starter for the Tigers when he was inserted as a guard on the offensive line vs. Tennessee. In addition to those 10 first time starters, Kyle Kipps started at defensive end vs. Western Carolina, making him both an offensive and defensive starter during his LSU career. Prior to this season, Kipps had started 13 games at tight end, but he had never seen any time on the defensive side of the ball. The following is a list of first-time starters for LSU this season: Western Carolina: Bob Wynne (OG), Brad Smalling (OT), LaBrandon Toefield (TB), Howard Green (DT), Bradie James (LB), Demetrius Hookfin (CB) Houston: Damien James (DB), Travis Moses (DB) Auburn: Jack Hunt (WR) Tennessee: Rodney Reed (OG) GREEN ON PACE TO BREAK SACK RECORD With 15 sacks in his first two years with the Tigers, junior defensive end Jarvis Green is on pace to break the school record for sacks.

school record with 25 sacks from 1980-83 with Ron Sancho next with 23. LOUIS WILLIAMS IS MR. VERSATILE ON LSU’S O-LINE When Louis Williams lined up as LSU’s starting center vs. Tennessee two weeks ago, it marked the fourth different starting position that the senior has played during his career. Williams, who has started 28 straight games for the Tigers, has started at the following positions during his career: center (2 starts), left tackle (22 starts), left guard (2 starts) and right guard (2 starts). DOMANICK DAVIS MOVES UP KICKOFF RETURN CHARTS With 94 yards in kickoff returns vs. Florida, sophomore Domanick Davis jumped all the way from ninth place to fourth place on LSU’s all-time list for kickoff return yardage. In two years with the Tigers, Davis has returned 38 kicks for 917 yards (24.1 average). Davis needs just 83 yards to become only the fourth player in school history to have 1,000 kickoff return yards in a career and he needs 150 yards to move past Sammy Martin (1,066 yards) into third place. holds the school-record with 1,780 yards on 70 returns. Last year, Davis set the school’s single-season kickoff return record with 618 yards on 25 returns. CORBELLO ADDS ANOTHER 40-YARD FIELD GOAL TO HIS LIST John Corbello's 40-yard field goal against Florida marked the second time in two weeks in which the sophomore kicker has converted a field goal of at least 40 yards. Last week vs. Tennessee, Corbello kicked a career-long 47 yard field goal in the first quarter. The 47-yarder vs. Tennessee was the longest field goal by an LSU kicker since Wade Richey hit a school-record 54-yarder against Kentucky in 1996. TURNOVERS HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM IN THREE LOSSES In LSU’s three losses this season, turnovers have been one of the problems for the Tigers as they have turned the ball over seven more times (-7) than their opponent in games in which they have lost. On the other hand, LSU is +3 in the turnover category in games in which they have won. In LSU’s last two losses (UAB and Florida), the Tigers turned the ball over 10 times, compared to just 3 turnovers for the opponent. WILLIAMS EXTENDS STARTING STREAK LSU senior offensive guard Louis Williams made his 28th straight start on Saturday. Williams, who has been in the Tiger starting lineup since the 1998 sesonopener against Arkansas State, has the longest current starting string of any LSU player. Other starting streaks of significance are senior cornerback Fred Booker (23 straight), and sophomore split end Jerel Myers and junior free safety Ryan Clark each with 17 consecutive starts. Sophomore linebacker Trev Faulk has started 14 straight games. RELATIVELY SPEAKING Quarterback Josh Booty and split end Abram Booty are brothers ... Defensive end Jarvis Green and linebacker Jason Green are brothers and defensive tackle Howard Green is Jarvis and Jason's cousin ... Offensive guard Trey Langley is the son of former LSU tackle Willis Langley, who lettered at LSU in 1962 and 1963 ...

GAME 2: LSU 28, HOUSTON 13
September 9, 2000 - Tiger Stadium - Baton Rouge, La. JAMES’ INTERCEPTIONS HELP TIGERS GET PAST HOUSTON Damien James came up with a pair of interceptions late in the fourth quarter to help the Tigers to a 28-13 victory over Houston last Saturday at Tiger Stadium. James interecepted a pass in the endzone with just over three minutes left in the contest and he picked off another pass and returned it 56 yards for a touchdown with just under a minute left to seal the LSU win. After a scoreless first quarter the Tigers struck for 21 points in the second quarter as Josh Booty fired TD passes to Joe Domingeaux and Robert Royal, followed by a short TD run by LaBrandon Toefield. The Tigers appeared to have the game under control before a late charge by the Cougars. LSU won for the first time since 1997 when being out-gained by the opposition. Houston had 438 yards of total offense compared to 297 for the Tigers.

Notes on the game: * The Houston touchdown reception in the fourth quarter snapped an LSU streak of eight consecutive quarters without a point that began with last year vs. Arkansas. That matches a streak of eight consecutive quarters dating back to 1985 with back-to-back shutouts of Kentucky and Ole Miss. * This is the first time since the Vanderbilt game in 1997 that LSU totaled less yards than their opponent and still won the game. In '97, the Commodores gathered 248 total net yards, while the

GAME 3: #24 AUBURN 34, LSU 17
September 16, 2000 - Jordan-Hare Stadium - Auburn, Ala. LSU DROPS BATTLE OF TIGERS, 34-17 LSU gave 24th-ranked Auburn all it could handle for three quarters before eventually wearing down and falling, 34-17. LSU jumped out to a 10-0 first quarter lead after Josh Booty hit Josh Reed with a 75-yard scoring strike, followed by a 22-yard field goal from John Corbello. Auburn rallied behind the physical running of Rudi Johnson, who carried the ball 36 times for 139 yards, and the pin-point passing of Ben Leard who finished 21for-30 for 225 yards and a pair of TD passes. With a 13-point second quarter, Auburn carried a 13-10 lead at the half. After Auburn increased the lead to 20-10, LSU rallied with a 45-yard strike from Booty to Reed to cut the lead to three, but a 100-yard kick off return from Tim Carter on the ensuing kick was the backbreaker for LSU. Johnson closed out the scoring with a two-yard run with three seconds remaining.

DAVEY'S FOUR TD PASSES LEAD TIGERS PAST VOLS IN OT Rohan Davey delivered one of the more memorable performances in recent Tiger history, capping a 318-yard, 4 TD performance with a 25-yard strike to Robert Royal on the first play of overtime to lead LSU past Tennessee 38-31. Damien James broke up a fourth down pass in the Tigers' end zone by A.J. Suggs to secure the victory for the Tigers. Davey threw a pair of first half TD passes to Josh Reed, while LaBradon Toefield came up with a career-best 74-yard run to help the Tigers grab a commanding 24-6 lead at the half. Tennessee mounted a furious comeback, rallying for 16 fourth quarter points to knot the game at 31 with 1:30 to go. After LSU had a 46-yard attempt blocked as regulation expired, Davey calmly led the Tigers to the deciding touchdown. Reed finished with 146 yards and three touchdowns, while Toefield had his first career 100-yard rushing game, piling up 120 yards.

TIGER MISCUES LEAD TO 41-9 LOSS AT FLORIDA There has been one common theme in LSU's rollercoaster start this season - when the Tigers turn the ball over they don't win. The Tigers turned the ball over four times and got none in return last weekend en route to a 41-9 loss at Florida. Gator quarterback Rex Grossman completed 18-of-28 passed for 276 yards and 3 TD passes, all to Jabar Gaffney, while Robert Gillespie came up with 120 yards rushing on 19 carries to pace Florida. Grossman hit Gaffney with a pair of first half TDs to help the Gators to a 17-3 lead. The two hooked up for the third time less than five minutes into the third quarter on a 59-yard strike to move the lead to 24-3. The Tigers cut the lead to 27-9 on a 5yard TD pass from Josh Booty to Robert Royal before Florida added two late touchdowns for the final margin of victory.
