The LSU Defense Contents ONE OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL'S GRANDEST TRADITIONS TURNS 75 THIS YEAR as LSU celebrates its 75th season of playing night games in Tiger Stadium in 2006. Since that first night game against Spring Hill in the fall of 1931, night games in Tiger Stadium have become a ritual that is celebrated each autumn Saturday Night in Baton Rouge. Night games in Tiger Stadium have been written about time and time again and it's been proven that something magical happens when the lights come on in Death Valley. From Cannon's punt return to beat Ole Miss in 1959, to the night a Hodson-to-Fuller TD pass shook the earth, and, most recently, when five Auburn field goal attempts went awry, the mystique of a night game in Tiger Stadium is legendary. Sports Illustrated columnist Rick Reilly put it best when he said, "college football is LSU's Tiger Stadium at night." 16 34 70 111 Les Miles Gameday The Tigers Winning for Louisiana Les Miles burst onto the LSU football In Baton Rouge, LSU football is not just a The Tigers return 13 starters and 39 let- A pair of Hurricanes named Katrina and scene and had success like no other coach game, it's an event.

    Head Coach INTRO NOTEBOOK COACHES TIGERS REVIEW THE SEASON HISTORY Les Miles LSU FOOTBALL HEAD COACH After leading LSU to an 11-2 mark and a top five national ranking in his first year as LSU's head coach, many wondered just what Les Miles would do for an encore. His second year with the Tigers has been another year full of milestones and firsts as he's guided the Tigers to a 10-2 overall mark and a berth in the Sugar Bowl against Notre Dame. LSU's at-large berth in a BCS bowl is a first in school history and it also represents the third time this decade that the Tigers will play 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 21 victories in his first 25 games as the school's head coach, his win total matches Bernie Moore for the most in school history over that span. He also became the first LSU coach since Jerry Stovall in 1982 to beat two top 10-ranked teams on the road in the same season. 24 2007 LSU FOOTBALL SUGAR BOWL GUIDE Head Coach INTRO NOTEBOOK COACHES TIGERS REVIEW THE SEASON HISTORY The Tigers were able to accomplish all of Stadium against North Texas was postponed. this despite having to face four top eight With the LSU campus serving as the recovery opponents on the road in 2006.

  • Former Ohio State Running Back Pepe Pearson Opens up About Playing, Coaching Career
    Former Ohio State Running Back Pepe Pearson Opens Up About Playing, Coaching Career Since the NFL draft’s inception in 1936, the Ohio State football program has been a mainstay. The Buckeyes have had a whopping 477 players selected – including a nation-leading 84 first-round picks – across 85 drafts. A quick glimpse at the long list of players would reveal the 1997 Buckeyes as an anomaly, however. After falling to Florida State in the Sugar Bowl, all of Ohio State’s draft-eligible juniors opted to put their NFL dreams on hold for another shot at a national title. Running back Pepe Pearson didn’t have a choice, however, as he was one of the few starters who had exhausted his eligibility that season. Despite receiving a late-round grade from NFL personnel, Pearson went unselected in the 1998 draft. He signed a free-agent deal with the San Francisco 49ers and bounced around the league for three seasons, also spending time on the offseason roster or practice squads of the Chicago Bears, Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Pearson, who weighed in at 5-10 and 209 pounds during his playing career, also had briefs stints with the Rhein Fire of NFL Europe, the Las Vegas Outlaws of the original XFL and the Dayton Warbirds of the National Indoor Football League. If you ask for the highlight of his career, Pearson will quickly point to the Fire’s 13-10 win over the Scottish Claymores in World Bowl 2000, the eighth installment of NFL Europe’s championship game.
