This ranking is from CFN: 15. LSU – For the second straight year, the Tigers roared in a bowl game, destroying Notre Dame 41-14 in the Sugar Bowl one year after sucker punching Miami in the Peach Bowl. LSU silenced the Irish passing attack and ran roughshod on its defense, rolling up 577 yards and 31 first downs with a blend of JaMarcus Russell’s arm and Keiland Williams’ legs. 24. LSU QB JaMarcus Russell – Sure, he faced the softer of the two defenses in New Orleans, but Russell easily got the better of Notre Dame’s Brady Quinn in the Sugar Bowl, throwing two touchdown passes, running for a score and earning a unanimous selection as the game’s MVP. 55. LSU DBs Chevis Jackson, LaRon Landry, Jonathan Zenon and Craig Steltz – Yeah, the Tiger secondary got help up front in the Sugar Bowl, but still did a bang up job of preventing big plays, while forcing Brady Quinn into his worst game in over two years. The Heisman finalist finished just 15-of-35 for 148 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, a far cry from his typical output. 76. LSU RB Keiland Williams – Flashing an uncommon blend of size, speed and vision for a true freshman, Williams gave a sneak peek of his vast potential with a breakout Sugar Bowl performance. In the most extensive action of his first season, he scored twice and averaged nearly eight yards on his 14 carries, making him one to watch in 2007. Nice to see a bunch of tigers get some respect this bowl season. http://cfn.scout.com/2/608059.html
