Columbus, OH-The LSU Tigers used a stifling defense and a ball control offense to defeat the Ohio State Buckeyes 19-6 Friday afternoon and advance to a quarterfinal game next weekend. Temperatures dipped into the 20s at kickoff with a light snow falling, and both teams attempted to use the ground game to move the ball. LSU held Ohio State to 209 yards of total offense and only 1 of 15 on third down conversions. LSU also controlled the clock, keeping possession for over 34 minutes.
LSU was led by Stevan Ridley, who ran for 105 yards and pounded out crucial first downs in the second half. Jordan Jefferson was only 10 of 21 throwing the football, but he avoided turnovers and threw the only touchdown of the game, a 23-yard pass to Terrence Toliver. Terrelle Pryor had a miserable day for the Buckeyes, only completing 4 of 15 passes and never mounting a serious threat after halftime. Daniel Herron was held to just 40 yards on the ground for Ohio State. Josh Jasper kicked 4 field goals for the Tigers.
