2011 AT&T Cotton Bowl (2nd Quarter Report) 28-17

  Aggies start off the quarter missing a long FG try hitting the bottom post. LSU Tigers answer back, running the ball well. QB Jefferson is starting to see the running lanes the Aggie defense is allowing. He rushes for a TD on QB bootlegg after a Les Myles challenge to put the Tigers up 14-10.

  Cyrus Gray, who is having a big night rushing, throws a TD on a halfback pass to Nwachukwu, his second of the game. 14-17

  Les Myles and the LSU coaching staff is starting to push the running plays on a lethargic linebacker core of the Aggies. Von Miller has only 3 tackles in the first half. Spencer Ware, LSU RB, gets the Tigers in the red zone. Newly eligible running back Stevan Ridley takes a counter sweep 17yds for another LSU TD. Tiger fans can thank the NCAA for that one. 21-17

  Tennenhill throws his first pick on a miscommunication with WR Frederick, giving the ball back to LSU.

  Tennenhill threw another on their next position giving the Tigers the ball back right before the 2 minute mark. Jefferson uses his legs again to get the Tigers to the 2yd line and hits Toliver for his second TD. Jefferson had only 4 passing TDs all year and has 2 tonight. 28-17

  Both offenses are moving the ball well on the ground and air, but both defenses are not getting key stops. Its gonna come down to which defense tightens up in the second half.
