Saban, along with Dietzel and Bernie Moore, are SEC also the only coaches in LSU history to win more than one SEC title, with each doing it two times. CHAMPS This year's Tiger team relied on a remarkable defense, one that ranked first in the nation in scoring (10.8) and rushing touchdowns allowed (3) and second in total defense (259.5), while putting an offense on the field that is one of the most explosive in school history. This year's LSU offense, behind the play of quarterback Matt Mauck, set the school standard for scoring average (34.9), points (454), passing touch- downs (30) and offensive touchdowns (54). Using the approach of taking it one game at a time and focusing on INTRO "what is" rather than "what was", the Tigers ran the table the final seven weeks of the season, dominating opponents on both sides of the ball. After a 19-7 setback to Florida on Oct. 11, the Tigers won their final seven games by an average of 35 to 11. Only Ole Miss came within a touchdown of the Tigers during that 7-game stretch, a run that includ- ed a 31-7 win over Auburn, a 55-24 victory over Arkansas and a 34-13 win over Georgia in the SEC title game.
