LSU makes case for No. 1
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 26 - 09 - 2011


No. 2 looked more like No. 1 Saturday night.
Second-ranked LSU pulled away from No. 16 West Virginia for a 47-21 victory, the Tigers' third decisive win away from home this season.
Meanwhile, No. 1 Oklahoma fell behind early and withstood a late push from Missouri to come away with a 38-28 victory. Ryan Broyles finished with 13 receptions for 154 yards and three touchdowns for the Sooners, who have been No. 1 since the preseason, but might be looking at relinquishing that to LSU.
The Tigers' defense allowed 463 passing to Geno Smith, but also forced four turnovers and got a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown from Morris Claiborne.
Oklahoma had 37 first-place votes in the AP Top 25 last week to LSU's 14.
No. 1 Oklahoma 38, Missouri 28: Landry Jones threw for 448 yards and three touchdowns to Ryan Broyles, leading Oklahoma back from a rare home deficit.
With two starting receivers out of the lineup, Broyles had to play up to his usual All-American standard without proven sidekicks. Kenny Stills, who caught the go-ahead touchdown in a win at then-No. 5 Florida State last week, was out with a head injury and Trey Franks is suspended indefinitely.
The Sooners roared back with 28 straight points to avenge a loss in Columbia last year when they were first in the BCS standings and move their home winning streak to 38 straight games.
The Tigers (2-2, 0-1 Big 12) pounced early to take a 14-3 first-quarter lead, breaking a streak of 20 straight home games in which Oklahoma (3-0, 1-0) never trailed.
No. 2 LSU 47, No. 16 West Virginia 21: Jarrett Lee threw three touchdown passes, Michael Ford ran for two scores and LSU beating West Virginia.
The Tigers (4-0) converted two turnovers into scores, built a big early lead and withstood West Virginia's strong comeback for its third win over a ranked opponent this season, with all of three coming away from home. Every win so far has been by double digits. Lee's three TD passes tied a career high and matched his output of the three previous games. He finished 16 of 28 for 180 yards.
West Virginia (3-1) outgained LSU 533-366. West Virginia's Geno Smith set school records for completions (38), attempts (65) and passing yards (463). But he was intercepted twice after making one in the previous three games.
No. 22 Michigan 28, San Diego State 7: Denard Robinson ran for a season-high 200 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Wolverines past Michigan coach Brady Hoke's former team.
In other games it was: No. 3 Alabama 38, No. 14 Arkansas 14; No. 4 Boise State 41, Tulsa 21; No. 6 Wisconsin 59, South Dakota 10; No. 9 Nebraska 38, Wyoming 14; No. 21 Clemson 35, No. 11 Florida State 30; No. 12 South Carolina 21, Vanderbilt 3; No. 13 Virginia Tech 30, Marshall 10; No. 15 Florida 48, Kentucky 10; No. 17 Baylor 56, Rice 31; No. 18 USF 52, UTEP 24; No. 20 TCU 55, Portland State 13; No. 24 Illinois 23, Western Michigan 20; No. 25 Georgia Tech 35, North Carolina 28.
