I think we got a lot accomplished. We got 50 snaps for one team and just under 50 for the other so we got out of the day what we needed. “The spring ended in a positive way. We had a number of guys make big plays. I think it gives the coaching staff a great piece to evaluate going into the summer. Overall, spring was a good for us and I feel like it ended the way it should have.” Flynn, who started at quarterback for the Purple team, connected on 11 of 22 passes for 135 yards and an 8-yard TD pass to Doucet in the second quarter. Ryan Perrilloux quarterbacked the White team and he completed 8 of 23 passes for 155 yards, one touchdown and an interception. Perrilloux’s touchdown was a 23-yard strike to Brandon LaFell in the fourth quarter. The Purple took a 3-0 lead early in the first quarter when Colt David drilled a 42-yard field goal at the 10:02 mark. The White responded on its next possession, going 70 yards on 10 plays, capped with a 4-yard TD run by Alley Broussard at the 6:05 mark to take its only lead of the game at 7-3. Key plays on that scoring drive for the White was a 14-yard completion by Perrilloux to Ricky Dixon and runs of 13 and 11 yards by Perrilloux. The Purple team regained the lead for good early in the second quarter as Flynn guided his team on a 10-play, 91-yard drive capped by an 18-yard TD run by Richard Murphy. Murphy, who led all rushers with 85 yards on 11 carries in the game, accounted for 63 yards rushing on that drive alone as he busted loose with runs of 28, 11, and 18 yards. 6 The Purple stretched the lead to 17-7 on its next possession when Flynn connected with Doucet for an 8-yard score with 10:49 left to play in the second quarter. The Purple’s score was set up by a Troy Giddens interception of a Perrilloux pass that gave the Tigers the ball at the White 17-yard line. The Purple squad scored three plays later. The scored remained 17-7 at halftime and stayed that way until the fourth quarter when David kicked a 37-yard field goal with 3:45 to go in the contest. Perrilloux pulled the White to within 20-17 after connecting with LaFell on a 23-yard TD pass but that was as close as they would get as Miles called the contest with 38 seconds left to play. "It was probably the most enjoyable time that I have had, and the kids had a great time as well,” Miles said. “What you expect from execution has to be looked at with the fact that it is a divided team. I liked the format. “We have improved this spring. We got a lot done during our 15 workouts. We still have a lot of work to do, but we are heading in the right direction.” Other standouts during the spring game included LaFell with three catches for 50 yards; Trindon Holliday with two receptions for 65 yards; Keiland Williams with 46 yards rushing on eight carries and Broussard with 32 yards and one score on eight attempts. Doucet also added a 64-yard punt return and he returned a pair of kickoffs a total of 44 yards. For the game, Doucet finished with 229 all-purpose yards. Defensively, linebacker Darry Beckwith lead the White team with eight tackles, while Tremaine Johnson had three tackles for losses, including a pair of sacks totaling 18-yards in losses.

Miles accepted the challenge, and in two years at the helm, he’s advanced every facet of the LSU football program. Whether it be on the field, in the classroom, or in the community, Miles demands his players to strive for excellence and pursue an education while representing the University in first class fashion. The response by the players has been overwhelming as they’ve posted back-to-back 11-win seasons, played an instrumental role in the recovery efforts following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, while also achieving academic success in the classroom. In two years, LSU’s had 37 players earn SEC Academic Honor Roll status with another 34 earning their college diploma. Now, as Miles enters his third year with the Tigers, the foundation for LSU football is more stable than ever. After 22 wins, including eight over foes ranked among the nation’s top 25, and with back-to-back consensus top five recruiting classes, Miles and the Tigers have solidified their standing as one of college football’s premier programs. 8 2 0 0 7 L S U F O O T B A L L The LSU Years Les Miles’ first two years with the Tigers has been unmatched in the history of the program. The results are impressive and staggering: 22 wins; 13 SEC victories; 8 wins over top 25 teams; 5 wins over top 10 teams; back-to-back top five final rankings; 2 bowl victories, including 1 BCS bowl win. After leading LSU to an 11-2 mark and a top five national ranking in his first year as LSU's head coach in 2005, many wondered just what Miles would do for an encore. His second year with the Tigers proved to be another year full of milestones and firsts as he guided the Tigers to another 11-2 overall record, culminating with a 41-14 dismantling of 11thranked Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. The Tigers finished their second year under the direction of Miles ranked No. 3 in the nation, marking the first time since the 1958-59 seasons that LSU was ranked in the top five in the country in back-toback years. LSU's at-large berth in a BCS bowl was a first in school history and it also represented the third time this decade that the Tigers ended their season in the Sugar Bowl. S P R I N G G U I D E In 2006, Miles became the first coach in LSU history to lead the Tigers to backto-back 10-wins seasons and with 22 victories in his first 26 games as the school's head coach, his win total matched Bernie Moore for the most in school history over that span. He also became the first LSU coach since Jerry Stovall in 1982 to beat two top 10-ranked teams on the road in the same season as the Tigers posted a 28-24 win over No. 8 Tennessee in Knoxville followed by a 31-26 victory over No. 5 Arkansas in Little Rock. The Tigers were able to accomplish all of this during the 2006 despite having to face four top eight opponents on the road, also a first in school history. LSU posted a 2-2 mark in those road games, which included the November wins over Tennessee and Arkansas that propelled the Tigers to a berth in a BCS bowl. LSU opened the 2006 season in grand style, posting identical 45-3 wins over Louisiana-Lafayette and Arizona. After a gut-wrenching 7-3 loss at No. 3 Auburn, the Tigers reeled off decisive wins over both Tulane (49-7) and Mississippi State (48-17). Following a 23-10 setback to eventual national champion Florida, the Tigers responded with seven straight wins to end the season, starting with a 49-0 victory over a Kentucky team who played in a bowl game. The Tigers capped the 2006 with its 41-14 win over an overmatched Notre Dame team in the Sugar Bowl, giving the Tigers its third win in a BCS game since the 2001 season. The three wins for the Tigers in BCS bowl games since the 2000 season, is the most of any SEC team during that span. With a 6-2 SEC mark in 2006, Miles ran his record in conference games to 13- 3, which trails only Bernie Moore as the best start in league games in school history. Moore won 15 of his first 16 conference games from 1934-36. With a makeshift offensive line that featured three first time starters and a pair of true freshmen running having to plug holes in a depleted backfield, the Tigers still managed to lead the SEC in total offense (411 yards per game) and scoring offense (33.7 points per game), while ranking No. 2 in the league in rushing offense (165 yards per game). Defensively, the Tigers, despite losing three defensive linemen to the NFL, ranked among the top four in the nation in scoring defense, total defense and pass defense. In all, the Tigers fashioned its 11-2 record against seven teams who went on to play in bowl games as LSU’s schedule was ranked as the 12th toughest in the nation according to the NCAA. Even though the Tigers had to go on the road to face four top 10-ranked teams in 2006, year two under Miles seemed somewhat ordinary compared to what the Tigers had to endure during his first year in Baton Rouge. Miles' inaugural season at LSU had him leading the Tigers to only the third 11win season in school history, to a top five national ranking and a berth in the SEC Championship Game despite numerous distractions that covered most of the months of September and October. The Tigers, playing without starting quarterback JaMarcus Russell, put an exclamation point on the year with a 40-3 win over No. 9 Miami in the Peach Bowl to finish with an 11-2 overall mark and a No. 5 national ranking. To appreciate just how adverse the conditions that Miles and the Tigers had 2 0 0 7 L S U to overcome in 2005, you have to go back to late August and Hurricane Katrina, the first of two storms to devastate the state of Louisiana during the fall. Days before LSU's originally scheduled season opener against North Texas in Tiger Stadium, Hurricane Katrina blew ashore, packing tremendous winds, and turned the state, in particular New Orleans and southeastern Louisiana, upside down. Massive flooding followed in the wake of the storm as more than 30 LSU players had their families and their homes affected by the hurricane and Miles' first game in Tiger Stadium against North Texas was postponed. With the LSU campus serving as the recovery center for those sick, homeless and displaced due to Hurricane Katrina, football seemed to be the farthest thing from most people's minds. However, Miles was able to successfully manage a delicate situation, one that saw his team and coaching staff volunteer time to those in need, while still attempting to focus on football for at least two hours a day. After a week of trying to minimize the distractions for a football team that had their apartments and dorm rooms filled with displaced family members and friends due to the storm, it appeared that the Tigers would finally get to play a home game, this time against 15th-ranked Arizona State. However, just as the Tigers began to prepare for the Sun Devils and the season opener in Tiger Stadium, it was learned that the devastation to New Orleans was much greater than originally thought.

Still, with many in Louisiana under the distress of Hurricane Katrina, the Tigers were going to have to take to the desert to face a powerful offense in their first game of the season. These were certainly trying times for everyone in the state of Louisiana, but even more so for a football coach who now had his team carrying the banner for a state in need of a diversion. LSU football had become a release for those consumed with the hurricane. LSU even re-stated its team goals, putting playing for the state of Louisiana at the top of the list. The Tigers didn't disappoint as Miles and his LSU team used a 28-point fourth quarter rally to come back to beat Arizona State, 35-31, in Tempe. Now with the Arizona State game behind them, it looked as if things for the LSU football team would gradually get back to normal as the Tigers now had a week off before facing Tennessee in Tiger Stadium on Sept. 24. Then, the unthinkable happened. Another storm, this one named Rita, hit southwest Louisiana, causing severe damage to more homes, leaving thousands without electricity and displacing even more Louisiana natives. The combination of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita forced LSU to again shuffle its 10 Houston Bowl Champions SEC Western Division Champions No. 3 in final national polls schedule. Instead of playing Tennessee on a Saturday night in Tiger Stadium, the Tigers would now be forced to face the Volunteers on a Monday night. An emotionally drained LSU team saw a 21-0 halftime lead evaporate into a 30-27 overtime loss against the Vols. There was no coaching handbook for Miles to refer to when it came to dealing with the hurricanes and preparing a team for competition during extreme adverse conditions. Miles was on his own, forced to navigate his LSU team through a treacherous stretch of games, while also being sympathetic to those still under the influence of the natural disasters. With just five days between the Tennessee loss and the Mississippi State game, Miles and the Tigers were obviously dealt an unfair hand, however, he asked his team to respond and they did. The Mississippi State contest was the starting point for a stretch of games for the Tigers that saw LSU win nine straight. The 37-7 win over the Bulldogs was followed by a 34-6 road victory over Vanderbilt as the Tigers had reestablished themselves as one of the nation's elite on the football field. During what would be 11-consecutive weeks of play, the Tigers posted a win over Florida along with overtime victories against Auburn and Alabama. In all, the Tigers beat four teams ranked among the top 15 in the nation, a school record for regular season victories over ranked opponents. 2 0 0 7 L S U F O O T B A L L Miles vs. All Opponents OPPONENT RECORD Appalachian State Alabama Arizona Arizona State Arkansas Auburn Baylor Colorado Florida Fresno State Georgia Iowa State Kansas Kansas State Kentucky Louisiana-Lafayette Louisiana Tech Miami (Fla.)

Miles became the only coach in his first year in the SEC to lead his squad to the league's title game. He also became the first coach in LSU history to beat Alabama, Auburn and Florida in the same season. Following a loss to Georgia in the league's title game, Miles and the Tigers re-grouped, this time to beat No. 9 Miami, 40-3, in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. The win gave the Tigers 11 victories for the year, making Miles the winningest firstyear coach in school history. Following his first year with the Tigers, LSU had seven players taken in the NFL Draft, including running back Joseph Addai, who went on to win a Super Bowl with Indianapolis in his first season in the league. Miles, the 2002 Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year and former assistant with Michigan, Colorado and the Dallas Cowboys who built Oklahoma State into a force in the Big 12, became LSU's 32nd head football coach on Jan. 3, 2005. During his two years with the Tigers, Miles has put together a 22-4 overall mark, while leading LSU to a 13-3 conference record. The Oklahoma State Years In four short years, Miles turned the Oklahoma State football program into one that was nationally competitive, despite S P R I N G G U I D E OPPONENT Nebraska North Texas Northern Iowa Northwestern State Notre Dame Ohio State Oklahoma Ole Miss SMU Southern Miss Missouri State Tennessee Texas Texas A&M Texas Tech Tulane Tulsa UCLA Vanderbilt Wyoming Total RECORD 1-1 1-0 1-0 1-0 1-0 0-1 2-2 2-1 3-0 1-1 1-0 1-1 0-4 2-2 1-3 1-0 1-0 1-1 1-0 1-0 50-25 competing in-state against one of the country's dominant programs. Miles honed his head coaching skills at Oklahoma State. Under Miles' direction, the Cowboys were the only team in the nation to beat Oklahoma twice in the last four years, and he was also the first coach in Oklahoma State history to post wins over Nebraska and Oklahoma in the same season. Miles led the Cowboys to three straight bowl appearances, an accomplishment Oklahoma State had not achieved since Jimmy Johnson started a string of three straight post-season games beginning in 1983. In addition, Oklahoma State's appearance in the Cotton Bowl to cap the 2003 season marked the first time in 55 years that the Cowboys appeared in a January bowl game. Miles' success as a collegiate head coach has come by combining an explosive offensive system with that of a sound defensive scheme. His last two years at Oklahoma State, Miles' offenses put up a total of 857 points for an average of 34.3 points per game. Miles' college playing and coaching career includes experience under some of the most noted coaches in college football. At Michigan, he played for legendary coach Bo Schembechler and later served on Schembechler's staff. He also worked with Gary Moeller at Michigan and Bill McCartney at Colorado.

Miles led Oklahoma State to a four-year record of 28-21 for a winning percentage of 57.1, the best career winning percentage for an OSU coach since Jim Lookabaugh ended his career in Stillwater in 1949. In 2004, Miles took Oklahoma State as high as No. 15 in the country with five wins to open the season. The 2004 season included road wins at UCLA, Colorado and Missouri, and the Cowboys never lost to a team outside of the top 25. In addition, his 2004 Cowboys ranked 12th in the nation in rushing, averaging 237 yards per game and Oklahoma State was among the national leaders in scoring offense with 32.3 points a contest. Oklahoma State's 2003 season was highlighted by victories over eventual Big 12 Champion Kansas State and a bowlbound Texas Tech squad. Miles and his Cowboys won seven straight in 2003 after a season opening loss at Nebraska and finished the season with back-to-back victories.

During his three years with the Cowboys, Dallas won one divisional title while participating in the playoffs twice. In Dallas, Miles learned of LSU and the charm of the school from tight end David LaFleur, who starred for the Tigers in the 1990s. In three years of coaching tight ends for the Cowboys, Miles' players combined for 136 receptions for 1,287 yards and 16 touchdowns. LaFleur, 2 0 0 7 L S U 34-14 #10 Miami W 40-3 a former LSU All-America selection, had his best year under Miles in 1999, starting 16 games and catching 35 passes for 322 yards and seven touchdowns. Before going to Dallas, Miles served as Oklahoma State's offensive coordinator for three seasons from 1995-97, including an 8-3 season and Alamo Bowl berth in 1997. Success has followed Miles at every stop of both his playing and professional career. He was a two-year letterman at Michigan (1974-75). During those two seasons, Michigan was a combined 18-3-2, had final Associated Press national rankings in the top 10 and participated in both the Rose and Orange Bowls. He joined Schembechler's Michigan coaching staff in 1980 for the first of two stints as a coach in Ann Arbor. In 1980 and 1981, Michigan combined for 19 wins and just five losses, won the Big 10 title in 1980 and played in the Rose and Bluebonnet Bowls, respectively. Miles left Michigan for Colorado, where he served on McCartney's staff from 1982 through 1986. In his final two years at Colorado, the Buffs earned bids to the Freedom Bowl and Bluebonnet Bowl. In 1987, he returned to Michigan, where he would spend the next eight years as part of one of the most successful eras in Michigan football history. From 1987 to 1994, Michigan won 71 games, made eight straight bowl appearances, including four trips to the Rose Bowl, and finished no lower than No. 21 in final Associated Press national rankings.
