BATON ROUGE -- LSU played Middle Tennessee Saturday without its starting quarterback and its best receiver. The Tigers didn’t miss a step though, as a combination of suffocating defense and a balanced offensive attack led LSU to a 44-0 victory over the outmatched Blue Raiders in front of 92,407.
In a testimony to its depth, second-ranked LSU, without quarterback Matt Flynn (http://www.lsusports.net/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=5200&ATCLID=174952&Q_SEASON=2007) and wide receiver Early Doucet (http://www.lsusports.net/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=5200&ATCLID=174939&Q_SEASON=2007), amassed 505 yards of offense behind quarterback Ryan Perrilloux (http://www.lsusports.net/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=5200&ATCLID=174063&Q_SEASON=2007) who spread the pass catching to 10 receivers on his way to completing 20-of-25, for 298 yards, three touchdowns and the first interception of the year thrown by a Tiger.
