In the first semifinal of Lindgren Cup 4, the LSU Tigers steamrolled the West Virginia Mountaineers, 28-7 in Baton Rouge. The 10th seeded Mountainers and top seeded Tigers spent the better half of the first two quarters felling each other out as the teams exchanged a series of punts. Finally LSU broke through late in quarter two on a short Jordan Jefferson touchdown pass. LSU took the 7-0 advantage into the locker room.
In the first two rounds of Lindgren Cup 4 West Virginia proved to be a strong second half team and things looked to be lining up once again as the Mountaineers tied it up early in quarter 3 with a quick 4 play touchdown drive. However this would prove to be the last sniff of success for the West Virginia offense as LSU exploded when senior tight end Deangelo Peterson rumbled for a 79 yard touchdown catch which was quickly followed by another beautiful Jefferson touchdown toss, widening the gap to 21-7. LSU would add one more late in the 4th quarter as the clock struck midnight for Geno Smith and the upstart Mountaineers. Peterson took home game MVP honors with 2 catches for 90 yards and 2 touchdowns. LSU has now outscored its' opponents in the last 10 quarters 84-14 and will face the winner of tomorrows Georgia/Boise St. tilt.
