On a third and ten Jefferson found LaFell in the endzone to give LSU a lead of 14-0 in the first quarter.

Second Quarter: The teams traded punts and possession until the Tigers took the ball at their own 26 yard line. The team drove the ball to the 18 yard line, and after a 14 yard pass to Rueben Randle, Scott then powered over from the 4 yard line, for a 21-0 lead for LSU.
