Knoxville, Tenn. -- In
the No. 7 Volunteers' 26-18 victory over No. 14 LSU, Kelley Washington caught
11 passes for a school-record 256 yards and a touchdown. The Volunteers
avenged last year's overtime loss to the Tigers by scoring on their first
three second-half possessions, including a 70-yard touchdown pass from Casey
Clausen to Washington.
The Vols began to take control with an 82-yard drive in 16 plays to open
the second half. The drive ended in Clausen's 3-yard run on a quarterback
draw.
Rohan Davey hit Michael Clayton with a 67-yard touchdown pass on LSU's second
possession. Between then and Tennessee taking a 26-7 lead early in the fourth
quarter, the Vols defense controlled the game.
After it got to 26-7 on a Travis Stephens touchdown, Davey began to lead
the Tigers back.
He directed a 75-yard drive in six plays and just 75 seconds, scoring on
a 30-yard pass to Josh Reed. A 2-point pass to Reed made it 26-15 with 10:13
left.
Davey drove the Tigers to a 25-yard field goal on their next possession,
making it 26-18 with 3:12 remaining.
LSU got one more chance, taking over at its 20 with 30 seconds left. A last-second
heave into the end zone was incomplete.
After Clausen's run gave the Vols a 12-7 lead, a 70-yard touchdown pass
to Washington made it 19-7 with 2:32 left in the third.
