Game Notes & Quotes:
- Behind its new spread attack, LSU took a 3-0 lead on its first drive, which amassed almost the entire 1st quarter, and never trailed in the game.

- Clemson responded on its 1st drive by driving into the LSU red zone, but LSU LB Kyle Prater soared majestically into the air to pick off a Kyle Parker pass to stop the drive.

- After incompleting his 1st pass on the game's opening play, Jefferson completed 21 straight passes, including 3 deep passes over 70 yards.

- LSU posted the number "5" all over its locker room the week leading up to the game, including putting Clemson Coach utvol27's quotes on the doors of all of the bathroom stalls in the LSU football complex (both mens and womens restrooms). "The only 5 we were concerned about was beating Clemson by 5 touchdowns," said LSU Coach UTVOL54. "Mission Accomplished, and then some."

- LSU jumped Alabama to take over the top spot in the latest Coaches poll, and is the only undefeated RUTS team remaining. But experts agree that Clemson, with only 1 user game remaining (week 11 vs. FSU) may have a clearer path to the title game than any of the remaining RUTS teams.

- "Are we 38 points better than Clemson?" asked Coach UTVOL54. "No way. But I think we shocked the nation today, and maybe even surprised ourselves a little bit. When we come to play, there aren't a lot of teams who like to look into the eye of the Tiger."
