Dominant Second Half Lifts No. 1 LSU Past Tennessee, 38-7 Jarrett Lee tossed three touchdown passes and Spencer Ware rushed for a score and caught a pass for a TD as top-ranked LSU used a dominating second half to post a 38-7 win over Tennessee in Knoxville. The 31-point win marked the largest margin of victory by the Tigers over the Vols. LSU never trailed in the contest as the Tigers accounted for 38 minutes of possession time, including 22 of a possible 30 minutes in the second half. After a scoreless first quarter, LSU took a 7-0 lead on a 5-yard TD pass from Lee to Rueben Randle. Morris Claiborne setup LSU’s first score after returning an interception 89-yards to the Tennessee 5-yard line. LSU increased the lead to 14-0 five minutes later when Ware scampered 13 yards on a screen pass for a TD. Tennessee responded with a TD to cut the lead to 14-7, but a Drew Alleman 18yard field goal just before half gave the Tigers a 17-7 lead at intermission. The second half was all LSU as the Tigers scored TDs on all three of their possessions. LSU had TD scoring drives of 12 plays, 66yards, 7:01; 16 plays, 99 yards, 8:44; and 10 plays, 65 yards, 6:08 in the second half. LSU ran 38 plays in the second half compared to just 19 for the Vols. LSU also outgained Tennessee 222-66 in the second half as the Tigers outscored the Vols 21-0 in the final 30 minutes of the contest. Ware led the Tigers with 80 rushing yards and a score. Lee connected on 13-of-17 passes for 138 yards and a career-high tying three scores. Brandon Taylor led LSU with 10 tackles.
