LSU VS. MISSISSIPPI STATE Les Miles HEAD COACH • THIRD YEAR Les Miles’ first two years with the Tigers have been unmatched in the history of the program. The results are impressive and staggering: 22 wins; 13 SEC victories; eight wins over top 25 teams; five wins over top 10 teams; back-to-back top five final rankings; two bowl victories, including one BCS bowl win; 12 NFL picks and four first-team All-Americans. After leading LSU to an 11-2 mark and a top five national ranking in his first year as LSU's head coach in 2005, many wondered just what Miles would do for an encore. His second year with the Tigers proved to be another year full of milestones and firsts as he guided the Tigers to another 11-2 overall record, culminating with a 41-14 dismantling of 11th-ranked Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. The Tigers finished their second year under the direction of Miles ranked No. 3 in the nation, marking the first time since the 1958-59 seasons that LSU was ranked in the top five in the country in back-to-back years. LSU's at-large berth in a BCS bowl was a first in school history and it also represented the third time this decade that the Tigers ended their season in the Sugar Bowl. In 2006, Miles became the first coach in LSU history to lead the Tigers to back-to-back 10-wins seasons and with 22 victories in his first 26 games as the school's head coach, his win total matched for the most in school history over that span. He also became the first LSU coach since in 1982 to beat two top 10-ranked teams on the road in the same season as the Tigers posted a 28-24 win over No. 8 Tennessee in Knoxville followed by a 31-26 victory over No. 5 Arkansas in Little Rock. The Tigers were able to accomplish all of this during the 2006 season despite having to face four top eight opponents on the road, also a first in school history. LSU posted a 2-2 mark in those road games, which included November wins over Tennessee and Arkansas that propelled the Tigers to a berth in a BCS bowl. LSU opened the 2006 season in grand style, posting identical 45-3 wins over Louisiana-Lafayette and Arizona. After a gut-wrenching 7-3 loss at No. 3 Auburn, the Tigers reeled off decisive wins over both Tulane (49-7) and Mississippi State (48-17). Following a 23-10 setback to eventual national champion Florida, the Tigers responded with seven-straight wins to end the season, starting with a 49-0 victory over a Kentucky team who went on to win eight games and beat Clemson in a bowl game. The Tigers capped the 2006 season with its 41-14 win over an overmatched Notre Dame team in the Sugar Bowl, giving the Tigers their third win in a BCS game since the 2001 season. The three wins for the Tigers in BCS bowl games since the 2000 season is the most of any SEC team during that span. With a 6-2 SEC mark in 2006, Miles ran his record in conference games to 13-3, which trails only Bernie Moore as the best start for an LSU head coach in league games in school history. Moore won 15 of his first 16 conference games from 1934-36. With a makeshift offensive line that featured three first-time starters and a pair of true freshmen running backs having to plug holes in a deplet- ed backfield, the Tigers still managed to lead the SEC in total offense (411 yards per game) and scoring offense (33.7 points per game), while rank- ing No. 2 in the league in rushing offense (165 yards per game). Defensively, (the Tigers, despite losing three defensive linemen to the NFL Draft from the year before), ranked among the top four in the nation in scoring defense, total defense and pass defense. In all, the Tigers fashioned its 11-2 record against seven teams who went on to play in bowl games as LSU’s schedule was ranked as the 12th toughest in the nation according to the NCAA. Even though the Tigers had to go on the road to face four top 10-ranked teams in 2006, year two under Miles seemed somewhat ordinary The Miles File compared to what the Tigers had to endure during his first year in Baton Rouge. In Miles' inaugural season at LSU he led the Tigers to only the third 11-win season in school history, to a top five national ranking and a berth Born: Nov. 10, 1953 in the SEC Championship Game despite numerous distractions that covered most of the months of September and October. Hometown: Elyria, Ohio The Tigers, playing without starting quarterback and future No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick JaMarcus Russell, put an exclamation point on the year with a 40-3 win over No. 9 Miami in the Peach Bowl to finish with an 11-2 overall mark and a No. 5 national ranking. Wife: Kathy To appreciate just how adverse the conditions that Miles and the Tigers had to overcome in 2005, you have to go back to late August and Children: Kathryn “Smacker”, Leslie Matthew, , the first of two storms to devastate the state of Louisiana during the fall. “Manny”, Benjamin, and Macy Grace Days before LSU's originally scheduled season opener against North in Tiger Stadium, Hurricane Katrina blew ashore, packing tremen- dous winds, and turned the state, in particular New Orleans and southeastern Louisiana, upside down. College: Michigan, ‘76 Massive flooding followed in the wake of the storm as more than 30 LSU players had their families and their homes affected by the hurricane and Miles' first game in Tiger Stadium against North Texas was postponed. With the LSU campus serving as the recovery center for those sick, homeless and displaced due to Hurricane Katrina, football seemed to be the farthest thing from most people's minds. However, Miles was able to Coaching Experience successfully manage a delicate situation, one that saw his team and coaching staff volunteer time to those in need, while still attempting to focus on 1980-81 Assistant Coach Michigan football for at least two hours a day. After a week of trying to minimize the distractions for a football team that had their apartments and dorm rooms filled with displaced family 1982-86 Assistant Coach Colorado members and friends due to the storm, it appeared that the Tigers would finally get to play a home game, this time against 15th-ranked Arizona 1987-94 Assistant Coach Michigan State. Still, with many in Louisiana under the distress of Hurricane Katrina, the Tigers were going to have to take to the desert to face a powerful 1995-97 Assistant Coach Oklahoma State offense in their first game of the season. 1998-00 Assistant Coach These were certainly trying times for everyone in the state of Louisiana, but even more so for a football coach who now had his team carrying 2001-04 Head Coach Oklahoma State the banner for a state in need of a diversion. LSU football had become a release for those consumed with the hurricane. LSU even re-stated its team goals, putting playing for the state of Louisiana at the top of the list. 2005- Head Coach LSU The Tigers didn't disappoint as Miles and his LSU team used a 28-point fourth quarter rally to come back to beat Arizona State, 35-31, in Tempe. Now with the Arizona State game behind them, it looked as if things for the LSU football team would gradually get back to normal as the Tigers now had a week off before facing Tennessee in Tiger Stadium on Sept. 24. Then, the unthinkable happened. Another storm, this one named Rita, hit southwest Louisiana, causing severe damage to more homes, leav- ing thousands without electricity and displacing even more Louisiana natives. The combination of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita forced LSU to again shuffle its schedule. Instead of playing Tennessee on a Saturday night in Tiger Stadium, the Tigers would now be forced to face the Volunteers on a “He has a father’s heart, a Monday night.

He looks at it Following a loss to Georgia in the league's title game, Miles and the Tigers re-grouped, this time to beat No. 9 Miami, 40-3, in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.

LSU has also is going to be the kind of guy had 12 players selected in the NFL Draft over the past two years, including a school-record four in the first round in 2007, which included the No. 1 overall pick in Russell.

However, the Mississippi DT State contest will mark the first time he's started a game during the regular season. For his career, Flynn has taken snaps Norman Lejeune Indianapolis Colts DB at quarterback in 17 games, including six appearances at the position in 2006.

As a result, Dorsey is now in line to get his college degree, while also being put in a posi- CB tion to contend for some of college football's most prestigious awards. ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit has already called Dorsey, Cincinnati Bengals T "the best player in college football," heading into 2007. Dorsey has been listed on every preseason All-America team and Atlanta Falcons C has been rated as the best defensive tackle in the nation by several publications.

LSU Is 7-2 In Road Games Under Miles LSU brings an overall record of 7-2 in road contests under Les Miles into the Mississippi State game. LSU was 2-2 on the road last year after going 5-0 away from Tiger Stadium in 2005. Of LSU's seven road wins under Miles, four have come against teams ranked in the top 15 with three of those coming against top 10 ranked teams. LSU's top 10 road wins under Miles include a 16-13 victory over No. 3 Alabama in 2005; a 28-24 win over No. 8 Tennessee and a 31-26 victory over No. 5 Arkansas in 2006.

First Quarter Dominance…. Will It Continue In 2007 One big reason for LSU's success last year was its ability to take control of the contest early. Last year, the Tigers outscored their opponents 136 to 27 in the first quarter and 240 to 87 in the first half. LSU didn't allow a single point in the first quar- ter of a game last year until the sixth contest of the year when Florida scored with 11 seconds remaining in the opening frame. In all, LSU held nine of its 12 opponents without a point in the first quarter a year ago.
