Patrick Peterson returned a punt 60 yards for a touchdown and the LSU defense held West Virginia to 177 total yards, as the 15th-ranked Tigers held off the 22nd-ranked Mountaineers, 20-14, in a non- conference battle of unbeaten teams. Stevan Ridley ran for 116 yards and a touchdown on 20 touches for the Tigers (4-0), who kept the nation's longest non-conference winning streak intact at 31 games. The win gave LSU a 4-0 start for the fourth straight year and extended a winning streak at Tiger Stadium to 29 consecutive games against non-conference foes dating back to 2000. Geno Smith threw for 119 yards on 14-of-29 attempts with two touchdowns and an interception. Noel Devine was held to 37 yards rushing, and West Virginia (3-1) gained just 11 more yards on the ground as a team. Jock Sanders ended with five catches for 47 yards and a touchdown in the loss.
