LSU 41, OSM{North Texas} 3

North Texas came down to Baton Rouge, where they gave the Tiger faithful plenty to cheer about. LSU running back Charles Scott only carried the ball seven times, but two of them were 39- and 43-yard touchdown runs early in the game. Trindon Holliday followed shortly with a 92-yard punt return for a touchdown, and the game was never in doubt.

Mean Green QB Giovanni Vizza was 22-40 for only 149 yards, an average of only 3.7 yards per attempt. This was, however, better than freshman QB Riley Dodge, son of coach Mike Dodge. On North Texas's second drive, Vizza was 4-5 for 20 yards, but then Riley Dodge came in to mix things up, and his first collegiate pass was intercepted. It was his only pass of the game. Also, North Texas only managed 44 yards rushing on 18 attempts.

North Texas has a bye next week to prepare for their visit to Rice.
