This 8 #9/9 Virginia Tech (ESPN) W, 48-7 year's group of seniors is the winningest senior class in school history, accounting for 54 victories from 2003-07. It's also the 15 Middle Tennessee (TigerVision) W, 44-0 only senior class in school history to record at least 10 wins in four different seasons (2003, '05, '06, '07).

With the game tied at 7-7 after an Ole Miss punt return for a TD, Arkansas (7-4, 3-4 SEC) Holliday answered on the ensuing kickoff, going straight up the middle, breaking a couple of tackles along the way, and easily outracing the Ole Miss defenders for the second kickoff return for a score in his career. Leading 14-7 at halftime, the Tigers SEPTEMBER increased the margin to 21-7 early in the second half on a 10-yard run by Keiland Williams. Ole Miss pulled to within 10 points 1 Troy W, 46-26 on two occasions in the fourth quarter - 27-17 and 34-24 - but the Tigers responded each time with touchdowns to keep the 15 * at Alabama (ESPN) L, 41-38 score out of reach. Jacob Hester scored on a 2-yard run with 3:44 left in the game to extend the margin to 34-17 and then 22 * #21 Kentucky (ESPN 2) L, 42-29 Charles Scott added the final points for LSU on a 29-yard TD run with just over two minutes left after the Rebels had pulled to 29 North Texas W, 66-7 within 34-24. For the game, the Tigers rushed for 228 yards with Scott leading the way with 66 yards and Hester adding 65. OCTOBER Matt Flynn connected on 17 of 25 passes for 168 yards and Colt David became LSU's all-time single-season leader in field goals, running his total to 21 this year, with two field goals against Ole Miss.
