Reed broke Wendell Davis' 15-year-old record of 14 receptions against Ole Miss in 1986,while passing Todd Kinchen's school record of 248 yards receiving against Mississippi State in 1991.The previous SEC records were 17 receptions, accomplished twice (most recently in 1995), and 269 yards by Craig Yeast of Kentucky in 1998. Rohan Davey broke Tommy Hodson's LSU single game record for passing yards, throwing for 528 yards. Hodson threw for 438 yards against Tennessee in 1989. The 528 yards by Davey are the most yards passing against an Alabama team, as were his 35 completions (breaking Archie Manning's record of 34). Davey's 540 yards of total offense (528 passing, 12 rushing) tied Archie Manning's (Ole Miss) SEC-record for a single game set on Oct. 4, 1969,versus Alabama. Davey's 35 completions broke the LSU record of 33 set by Jeff Wickersham in 1983. Davey's 44 attempts were well shy of the school record of 58 by Josh Booty on Sept. 19,1999, against Auburn. However, Davey's mark ranked in a tie for seventh in school history with Jesse Daigle (Nov. 16, 1991 vs. Mississippi State). Josh Reed became the first Tiger to record back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, surpassing the mark on a 16-yard reception in the second quarter. The reception gave Reed 1,004 yards on the season at the time. Reed joined Joey Kent of Tennessee, who recorded back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in 1995 and 1996 as the only other player in SEC history to accomplish the feat.

LaBrandon Toefieldscored three touchdowns, all in the first half,as the Tigers built a 27-7 halftime lead. JohnCorbello added a 42-yard field goal in thesecond half to complete the scoring for theTigers.

“That was a good win for us and a good winfor our players.That's not a bad football teamwe played, especially on offense. I'm alwayshappy when we have a winning season and Iguess when you are bowl eligible you have awinning season. It's always good for the pro-gram when you have winning seasons. Youcan build on that.”– LSU HEAD COACH NICK SABAN

"We achieved one of our goals tonight byhaving a winning season. We have a lot ofthings to build on, and it's is time to go outon a strong note with these last two games." - LSU LINEBACKER BRADIE JAMES

"We didn't get off the field on third downs inthe first half, but Rohan Davey and Josh Reedand the receivers and (LaBrandon) Toefieldand those guys aren't just an average footballteam.They are one of the top teams in theSEC and they showed why today."- MIDDLE TENN.ST. HEAD COACH ANDY MCCOLLUM

• With their sixth win of the season, the Tigers improved to 6-3 and became bowl eligible withtwo games remaining on the 2001 regular season schedule. It also ensured LSU head coachNick Saban of at least a .500 season for the eighth time in as many years as a collegiate headcoach.• On a 15-yard pass from Rohan Davey in the second quarter, Josh Reed broke the LSU singleseason record for receiving yardage.Reed broke the 15-year-old record of 1,244 by WendellDavis set in 1986, accomplishing the feat in only nine games.The catch gave Reed 1,245 yardsat the time. He finished the game with 1,311 yards for the season.• With 318 yards passing, Davey broke the LSU season passing record with 2,659 yards,breaking Tommy Hodson's single season record of 2,655 set in 1989. He also had 325 yards oftotal offense and broke the LSU season record for total offense with 2,643, passing TommyHodson with 2,604 yards of total offense in 1989.• With two touchdowns, LaBrandon Toefield became the first Tiger since Kevin Faulk in 1998to record four multiple-touchdown games in the same season. Toefield had three againstTulane, four against Utah State and three against Alabama prior to the Middle Tennessee game.• With two first half touchdowns passes, Rohan Davey moved his career total to 25, movingfrom an eighth place tie with Y.A. Tittle, passed Josh Booty and into a sixth-place tie with JeffWickersham.

Bradie James and a stingy Tiger defense limited the high-poweredMiddle Tennessee offense to a season-low 14 points.What they said...
