8 LSU 2008 Spring Recap Murphy Shines in White s Win Over Purple in LSU Spring Game Sophomore running back Richard Murphy rushed for 145 yards and accounted for a total of three scores to lead the White team to a win over the Purple squad here Saturday in LSU s annual Spring Game. LSU s annual Spring Game was played before a crowd of 33,624 in Tiger Stadium and featured a White team that was made up mainly of the 1s (first teamers) against a Purple squad that consisted mostly of the 2s. I felt like the spring game was incomplete, not necessarily exactly what we wanted, LSU coach Les Miles said after the contest. But considering it was divided teams with good players on both sides we felt like we got a lot accomplished. I like the way we rushed the ball on offense. (Richard) Murphy was very loose and fast. He had a very strong showing. Keiland Williams had some nice carries, but no back can put the ball on the ground. He (Williams) did that, and that s an issue. Murphy s 145 rushing yards came on just 11 carries, which included scoring runs of four and 70 yards. He added another 52 receiving yards on a pair of catches, one of which resulted in a 53- yard touchdown. Williams, also playing for the White team, accounted for 36 yards on five carries but had one costly first half fumble. Redshirt freshman Stevan Ridley led the Purple team with 42 yards on eight attempts. LSU quarterbacks Jarrett Lee and Andrew Hatch split time with both teams. Hatch combined to complete 13 of 17 passes for 184 yards and two touchdowns, while Lee connected on 7 of 13 passes for 181 yards and two scores. Demetrius Byrd led all receivers with 132 yards on four catches, which included receptions of 57 and 60 yards. We felt like the young quarterbacks came in and did things we asked them to do, Miles said. Since it was the first time in that stadium with the crowd and in a game situation, I felt like they (the Running Back Richard Murphy quarterbacks) managed it pretty well. A couple times they got started on the wrong foot, but eventually they got it squared away. Both guys could come in and play. I enjoyed the way Hatch managed the game at one point and felt like he was doing really well. I felt like Lee really got it started a little bit differently. Both got it turned around. Hatch got into a series where he got a little bit greedy and made a couple of bad calls and made a couple bad throws. I felt Lee came back and started making plays and got into a groove. I am comfortable with both quarterbacks. Defensively, safety Danny McCray paced the White team with six tackles and one tackle for a loss, while Ricky Jean-Francois had five tackles and one tackle for a loss. Tyson Jackson added three tackles and a sack for the White squad. Lazarius Levingston led the Purple team with four tackles, which included three tackles for losses and one sack. I can tell you on the defensive side we are nicked up pretty good, Miles said. There really isn t a full contingent of linebackers, and I felt the defense would have played better if the linebackers would have been intact. I think they did well anyway. The Purple team, made up mainly of LSU s No. 2 offensive and defensive unit, took the opening kickoff and went 91 yards on 11 plays to take its only lead of the contest at 7-0 on 8-yard TD pass from Hatch to Jared Mitchell. The White squad tied the contest at 7-7 early in the second quarter on the first of Murphy s three scores. Murphy s four-yard run evened the contest with 13:51 remaining in the second quarter. The White team took the lead for good at 14-7 on a 12-yard pass from Hatch to Brandon LaFell. The Purple squad pulled to within late in the second quarter on a 42-yard field goal by Andrew Crutchfield. The White team struck right back, needing just one play a 70-yard run by Murphy to extend the lead to at halftime. The second half featured a running clock and was highlighted by a 57-yard TD pass from Lee to Byrd and a 53-yard TD reception by Murphy from Lee. Colt David s 23-yard field goal with two minutes left in the contest capped the scoring for the White team. All in all, it was a good spring game with quality snaps, Miles said. It was an opportunity to get a little bit better. The quality of execution was not game-like, but now we can put the team together and give us a great summer. I look forward to taking this team to the field in the fall.

12 Les Miles HEAD COACH It has been said that LSU is in the midst of the Golden Era of football at the school and head coach Les Miles has been the driving force behind the Tigers dominance at the national level for the past three years. Since taking over as head coach at LSU in January of 2005, Miles has guided the Tigers to the BCS National Title and to three straight top five rankings, a first at the school. Miles three year record with the Tigers is an astonishing 34-6, which marks the best three-year stretch in the history of the program.

(Top left) Postgame, Miles congratulates the team on a stellar performance and the program's second national championship in five years. (Middle left) Miles pumps his fist in celebration as the Tigers lock up the BCS title. (Bottom left) With an historic season in the books, Miles lets out a blissful cry of jubilation in the postgame news conference. LSU s success under Miles hasn t been just on the playing field as the Tigers have also excelled in both the classroom as well as being active participants within the community. With an approach that demands his players strive for excellence and pursue an education while representing the University in first-class fashion, the response by the players has been overwhelming. In addition to averaging over 11 wins for the past three years, the Tigers have also had 51 players earn a spot on the SEC Academic Honor Roll with another 42 earning their college diploma. Of the 25 seniors on the national championship team, 11 have already earned the college degree with the remainder of the class on pace to graduate within the next year. The Tigers also played an instrumental role in the recovery efforts following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, two of the most devastating natural disasters to hit the Louisiana coast. On the field, the Tigers have produced 12 NFL Draft picks over the past two years, including a school-record four first-round picks in the draft. In, senior defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey became the most decorated defender in school history winning four national awards the Lombardi, Outland, Nagurski and Lott Trophies as well as being the SEC Defensive Player of the Year and a consensus All-American. Now, with the Tigers becoming first school in the country to have won two BCS National Championships, the foundation for LSU football is more stable than ever. After 34 wins, including 14 over foes ranked among the nation s top 25, and with three straight recruiting classes ranked among the top 10 in the nation, Miles and the Tigers have solidified their standing as one of college football s premier programs. The LSU Years Les Miles first three years with the Tigers have been unmatched in the history of the program. One would be hard pressed to find a better three-year stretch in major college football. The results are impressive and staggering: 34 wins, 20 SEC victories, 14 wins over top 25 teams, eight wins over top 10 teams, three bowl victories, including a win over Ohio State in last year s BCS National Championship Game, an SEC title and three straight top five final rankings. Add to that 12 NFL Draft picks, including five in the first round, and seven first-team All-Americans, The Les Miles File BIRTHDATE:......Nov. 10, 1953 HOMETOWN:.....Elyria, Ohio WIFE: Kathy CHILDREN: Kathryn Smacker, Leslie Matthew Manny, Benjamin and Macy Grace COLLEGE: Michigan, '76 EDUCATION: Graduated from the University of Michigan in 1976 with a degree in economics.

Miles 34 victories is the most of any coach during a three-year span in the history of the school and his 19 SEC regular season wins rank as the best among any Tiger coach in their first three seasons with the program. His 34 wins since taking over at LSU in 2005 also ties with Pete Carroll as the most by any head coach in college football during that three-year span. After two of the most successful seasons in school history in 2005 and 2006, Miles again led the Tigers to a season of firsts in. LSU became the first school in the Bowl Championship Series era to claim a second BCS National Title with its win over Ohio State. LSU s first BCS title came in 2003 when the Tigers beat Oklahoma, With a 12-2 final record in, the Tigers became the first team in school history to win at least 10 games in three straight years. The Tigers also set the school record for wins over Top 25 teams (7), won the SEC Championship with a backup quarterback and were ranked No. 1 in the BCS Standings during the regular season for the first time in school history. LSU finished the year ranked No. 1 in the nation in both the USA Today Coaches Poll and the AP Poll. The road to the SEC title was anything but easy for the Tigers as LSU faced a total of seven top 25 teams, winning six of those games. After spending most of the season ranked among the top three teams in the nation, including a four-week stay at No. 1, the Tigers quickly found out that they had a target on their back each week. Time after time, week after week, LSU was getting the best shot from their opponent. It didn t help matters that LSU played key stretches of its season with injuries to standout players. Star wideout Early Doucet missed five games; quarterback Matt Flynn wasn t healthy for close to a month; and All- American Glenn Dorsey played hurt for the final five games of the regular season. Still, LSU, with outstanding depth and a will to overcome adversity, found a way to win. Four times in the Tigers had to come from behind in the fourth quarter to win games, including its victory over Tennessee in the SEC Championship Game. LSU scored a touchdown with a second left to beat Auburn at home and then followed that by scoring two touchdowns in the final three minutes of the Alabama game to record a comeback win over the Crimson Tide. Against top 10-ranked Florida, LSU scored with just over a minute left, capping a drive that saw the Tigers convert on a pair of fourth down attempts, to beat the defending national champions, 28-24, in Tiger Stadium. Perhaps its best game of the season came in week 2 when a completely healthy LSU squad dominated No. 9 Virginia Tech in all phases in a 48-7 victory. LSU didn t lose a game in regulation during the regular season, falling to both Kentucky and Arkansas in triple overtime. And when it mattered most and playing without an injured Flynn, the Tigers overcame adversity that followed in the wake of week-long media speculation leading up to the SEC Championship Game about Miles perhaps leaving LSU to take the head coaching position at Michigan. In the end Miles remained true to his word, staying at LSU and leading the Tigers to a win over Tennessee in the SEC title game, a victory that helped propel LSU into the BCS National Championship contest. In the BCS Championship game, the Tigers spotted top-ranked Ohio State and early 10-0 lead, but LSU came roaring back to take a convincing win over the Buckeyes by a count. The win gave LSU its third national title and it also marked the fourth time this decade that the Tigers were victorious in a BCS bowl, the most of any SEC school. After leading LSU to an 11-2 mark and a top five national ranking in his first year as LSU's head coach in 2005, many wondered just what Miles would do for an encore. His second year with the Tigers proved to be another year full of milestones and firsts as he guided the Tigers to another 11-2 overall record, culminating with a dismantling of 11th-ranked Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. The Tigers finished their second year under the direction of Miles ranked No. 3 in the nation, marking the first time since the seasons that LSU was ranked in the top five in the country in back-to-back years. LSU's at-large berth in a BCS bowl was a first in school history and it also represented the third time this decade that the Tigers ended their season in the Sugar Bowl. In 2006, Miles became the first coach in LSU history to lead the Tigers to back-to-back 10-wins seasons, something that he added to with another 10-plus win season in. He became the first LSU coach since Jerry Stovall in 1982 to beat two top 10- ranked teams on the road in the same season as the Tigers posted a win over No. 8 Tennessee in Knoxville followed by a victory over No. 5 Arkansas in Little Rock. The Tigers were able to accomplish

LSU posted a 2-2 mark in those road games, which included November wins over Tennessee and Arkansas that propelled the Tigers to a berth in a BCS bowl. LSU opened the 2006 season in grand style, posting identical 45-3 wins over Louisiana-Lafayette and Arizona. After a gut-wrenching 7-3 loss at No. 3 Auburn, the Tigers reeled off decisive wins over both Tulane (49-7) and Mississippi State (48-17). Following a setback to eventual national champion Florida, the Tigers responded with seven-straight wins to end the season, starting with a 49-0 victory over a Kentucky team who went on to win eight games and beat Clemson in a bowl game. The Tigers capped the 2006 season with its win over an overmatched Notre Dame team in the Sugar Bowl, giving the Tigers their third win in a BCS game since the 2001 season. With a makeshift offensive line that featured three first-time starters and a pair of true freshmen running backs having to plug holes in a depleted backfield, the Tigers still managed to lead the SEC in total offense (411 yards per game) and scoring offense (33.7 points per game), while ranking No. 2 in the league in rushing offense (165 yards per game). Defensively, (the Tigers, despite losing three defensive linemen to the NFL Draft from the year before), ranked among the top four in the nation in scoring defense, total defense and pass defense. In all, the Tigers fashioned its 11-2 record against seven teams who went on to play in bowl games as LSU s schedule was ranked as the 12th toughest in the nation according to the NCAA. Even though the Tigers had to go on the road to face four top 10-ranked teams in 2006, year two under Miles seemed somewhat ordinary compared to what the Tigers had to endure during his first year in Baton Rouge. In Miles' inaugural season at LSU he led the Tigers to only the third 11-win season in school history, to a top five national ranking and a berth in the SEC Championship Game despite numerous distractions that covered most of the months of September and October. The Tigers, playing without starting quarterback and future No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick JaMarcus Russell, put an exclamation point on the year with a 40-3 win over No. 9 Miami in the Peach Bowl to finish with an 11-2 overall mark and a No. 5 national ranking. To appreciate just how adverse the conditions that Miles and the Tigers had to overcome in 2005, you have to go back to late August and Hurricane Katrina, the first of two storms to devastate the state of Louisiana during Les and Kathy Miles with their four children, Kathryn, Leslie Matthew, Benjamin and Macy Grace. the fall. Days before LSU's originally scheduled season opener against North Texas in Tiger Stadium, Hurricane Katrina blew ashore, packing tremendous winds, and turned the state, in particular New Orleans and southeastern Louisiana, upside down. Massive flooding followed in the wake of the storm as more than 30 LSU players had their families and their homes affected by the hurricane and Miles' first game in Tiger Stadium against North Texas was postponed. With the LSU campus serving as the recovery center for those sick, homeless and displaced due to Hurricane Katrina, football seemed to be the farthest thing from most people's minds. However, Miles was able to successfully manage a delicate situation, one that saw his team and coaching staff volunteer time to those in need, while still attempting to focus on football for at least two hours a day. After a week of trying to minimize the distractions for a football team that had their apartments and dorm rooms filled with displaced family members and friends due to the storm, it

16 Les Miles HEAD COACH Game Ball Following a week that saw Les Miles coaching mentor and close friend Bo Schembechler pass away, senior Justin Vincent presented Miles the game ball following LSU s overtime win over Ole Miss in 2006 in Tiger Stadium. Super Tigers (Above) Head Coach Les Miles alongside Anthony McFarland and Joseph Addai of the Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts with Kevin Faulk, Eric Alexander and Randall Gay of the New England Patriots. The former Tigers were back as honorary coaches for the Super Tiger Bowl Spring Game. appeared that the Tigers would finally get to play a home game, this time against 15th-ranked Arizona State. However, just as the Tigers began to prepare for the Sun Devils and the season opener in Tiger Stadium, it was learned that the devastation to New Orleans was much greater than originally thought. With the Maravich Center on the LSU campus serving as what would become the largest field triage unit in United States history, it was mutually decided to move the LSU- Arizona State game to Tempe. Still, with many in Louisiana under the distress of Hurricane Katrina, the Tigers were going to have to take to the desert to face a powerful offense in their first game of the season. These were certainly trying times for everyone in the state of Louisiana, but even more so for a football coach who now had his team carrying the banner for a state in need of a diversion. LSU football had become a release for those consumed with the hurricane. LSU even re-stated its team goals, putting playing for the state of Louisiana at the top of the list. The Tigers didn't disappoint as Miles and his LSU team used a 28-point fourth quarter rally to come back to beat Arizona State, 35-31, in Tempe. Now with the Arizona State game behind them, it looked as if things for the LSU football team would gradually get back to normal as the Tigers now had a week off before facing Tennessee in Tiger Stadium on Sept. 24. Then, the unthinkable happened. Another storm, this one named Rita, hit southwest Louisiana, causing severe damage to more homes, leaving thousands without electricity and displacing even more Louisiana natives. The combination of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita forced LSU to again shuffle its schedule. Instead of playing Tennessee on a Saturday night in Tiger Stadium, the Tigers would now be forced to face the Volunteers on a Monday night. An emotionally drained LSU team saw a 21-0 halftime lead evaporate into a overtime loss against the Vols. There was no coaching handbook for Miles to refer to when it came to dealing with the hurricanes and preparing a team for competition during extreme adverse conditions. Miles was on his own, forced to navigate his LSU team through a treacherous stretch of games, while also being sympathetic to those still under the influence of the natural disasters. With just five days between the Tennessee loss and the Mississippi State game, Miles and the Tigers were obviously dealt an unfair hand, however, he asked his team to respond and they did. The Mississippi State contest was the starting point for a stretch of games for the Tigers that saw LSU win nine straight. The 37-7 win over the Bulldogs was followed by a 34-6 road victory over Vanderbilt as the Tigers had reestablished themselves as one of the nation's elite on the football field. During what would be 11-consecutive weeks of play, the Tigers posted a win over Florida along with overtime victories against Auburn and Alabama. In all, the Tigers beat four teams ranked among the top 15 in the nation, then a school record for regular season victories over ranked opponents. After 10 straight weeks of play during the regular season, the Tigers fashioned a 7-1 conference mark and earned a berth in the SEC title game. Miles became the only coach in his first year in the SEC to lead his squad to the league's title game. He also became the first coach in LSU history to beat Alabama, Auburn and Florida in the same season. Following a loss to Georgia in the league's title game, Miles and the Tigers re-grouped, this time to beat No. 9 Miami, 40-3, in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. The win gave the Tigers 11 victories for the year, making Miles the winningest first-year coach in school history. Following his first year with the Tigers, LSU had seven players taken in the NFL Draft, including running back Joseph Addai, who went on to win a Super Bowl with Indianapolis in his first season in the league. Miles, the 2002 Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year and former assistant with Michigan, Colorado and the Dallas Cowboys who built Oklahoma State into a force in the Big 12, became LSU's 32nd head football coach on Jan. 3, During his three years with the Tigers, Miles has put together a 34-6 overall mark, while leading LSU to a 19-5 conference record. LSU has also had 12 players selected in the NFL Draft over the past two years, including a schoolrecord four in the first round in, which included the No. 1 overall pick in Russell. In addition, LSU has had seven players earn first-team All-America status under Miles. Oklahoma State Years In four short years, Miles turned the Oklahoma State football program into one that was nationally competitive, despite competing in-state against one

17 LSU of the country's dominant programs. Miles honed his head coaching skills at Oklahoma State. Under Miles' direction, the Cowboys were the only team in the nation to beat Oklahoma twice in the last four years, and he was also the first coach in Oklahoma State history to post wins over Nebraska and Oklahoma in the same season. Miles led the Cowboys to three straight bowl appearances, an accomplishment Oklahoma State had not achieved since Jimmy Johnson started a string of three straight postseason games beginning in In addition, Oklahoma State's appearance in the Cotton Bowl to cap the 2003 season marked the first time in 55 years that the Cowboys appeared in a January bowl game. Miles' success as a collegiate head coach came by combining an explosive offensive system with that of a sound defensive scheme. His last two years at Oklahoma State, Miles' offenses put up a total of 857 points for an average of 34.3 points per game. Miles' college playing and coaching career includes experience under some of the most noted coaches in college football. At Michigan, he played for legendary coach Bo Schembechler and later served on Schembechler's staff. He also worked with Gary Moeller at Michigan and Bill McCartney at Colorado. As head coach at Oklahoma State, he built a consistent winner out of a program that had recorded only one winning season since 1988, and had posted a record of in the three years prior to his arrival at OSU. After going 4-7 in his first year as head coach in 2001, he took the Cowboys to consecutive winning marks of 8-5 in 2002, 9-4 in 2003 and 7-5 in Miles led Oklahoma State to a fouryear record of for a winning percentage of 57.1, the best career winning percentage for an OSU coach since Jim Lookabaugh ended his career in Stillwater in In 2004, Miles took Oklahoma State as high as No. 15 in the country with five wins to open the season. The 2004 season included road wins at UCLA, Colorado and Missouri, and the Cowboys never lost to a team outside of the top 25. In addition, his 2004 Cowboys ranked 12th in the nation in rushing, averaging 237 yards per game, and Oklahoma State was among the national leaders in scoring offense with 32.3 points a contest. Oklahoma State's 2003 season was highlighted by victories over eventual Big 12 Champion Kansas State and a bowl-bound Texas Tech squad. Miles and his Cowboys won seven straight in 2003 after a season opening loss at Nebraska and finished the season with back-to-back victories. The seven consecutive victories marked the longest winning streak by an Oklahoma State team since 1949 when the Cowboys posted a perfect 9-0 record. Miles' 2003 Oklahoma State team featured one NFL First Round Draft pick in wide receiver Rashaun Woods and second round selection in running back Tatum Bell as the Cowboy offensive attack featured both a 1,000-yard rusher (Bell) and a 1,000-yard receiver (Woods). Miles was the 2002 Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year after directing his second Oklahoma State team to an 8-5 record and the school's first bowl appearance since In 2002, Miles' Cowboy offense set the school standard for passing offense (259 yards per game), while averaging yards of offense per game, the fourth-highest total at the school. The Cowboys, who averaged 34.4 points per game, closed the 2002 season with wins in six of their last seven games, including a victory over then-no. 3 ranked Oklahoma in the regular-season finale. The Cowboys capped the 2002 season with a win over Southern Miss in the Houston Bowl. As An Assistant Coach Prior to his tenure as head coach at Oklahoma State, Miles was the tight ends coach for the Dallas Cowboys for three seasons from During his three years with the Cowboys, Dallas won one divisional title while participating in the playoffs twice. In Dallas, Miles learned of LSU and the charm of the school from tight end David LaFleur, who starred for the Tigers in the 1990s. In three years of coaching tight ends for the Cowboys, Miles' players combined for 136 receptions for 1,287 yards and 16 touchdowns. LaFleur, a former LSU All- America selection, had his best year under Miles in 1999, starting 16 games and catching 35 passes for 322 yards and seven touchdowns. Before going to Dallas, Miles served as Oklahoma State's offensive coordinator for three seasons from , including an 8-3 season and Alamo Bowl berth in Success has followed Miles at every stop of both his playing and professional career. He was a two-year letterman at Michigan ( ). During those two seasons, Michigan was a combined , had final Associated Press national rankings in the top 10 and participated in both the Rose and Orange Bowls. He joined Schembechler's Michigan coaching staff in 1980 for the first of two stints as a coach in Ann Arbor. In 1980 and 1981, Michigan combined for 19 wins and just five losses, won the Big 10 title in 1980 and played in the Rose and Bluebonnet Bowls, respectively. Miles left Michigan for Colorado, where he served on McCartney's staff from 1982 through In his final two Off the Field (Top) In 2006 Miles took part in the USO Tour, where he visited American Troops in Kuwait and Iraq. (Bottom) Miles took time out of his busy Sugar Bowl preparations schedule to spend time with the patients of New Orleans Children s Hospital. years at Colorado, the Buffs earned bids to the Freedom Bowl and Bluebonnet Bowl. In 1987, he returned to Michigan, where he would spend the next eight years as part of one of the most successful eras in Michigan football history. From 1987 to 1994, Michigan won 71 games, made eight straight bowl appearances, including four trips to the Rose Bowl, and finished no lower than No. 21 in final Associated Press national rankings. The 1989 Michigan squad finished 10-2, won the Big 10 championship and finished ranked No. 7 in the country. That would be Coach Bo Schembechler's final season as Michigan's head coach. When Moeller took over the Michigan program prior to the 1990 season, Miles remained on the staff. The 1990 team finished 9-3, winning the Big 10 title and the Gator Bowl. The following season (1991), Michigan finished 10-2 and with a No. 6 national ranking. Miles coached some of the best players to wear the Michigan uniform, including eight first-team All-Americans, 10 total All-Americans and 12 players from Wolverine offensive lines that were NFL draftees. Philanthropist At Heart One of Les Miles most impressive qualities is that of the time he spends giving to and helping causes that benefit others. Each year, Miles and his wife Kathy host an event that raises close to $100,000 for the Children s Miracle Network. In addition, he is active in other community service events such as the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer annual fundraiser, the Special Olympics and the Baton Rouge Children s Advocacy Center Celebrity Waiter Event. Miles spent a week in June of 2006 taking part in the USO Tour, where the Tiger head coach visited American Troops serving in Kuwait and Iraq. Miles was joined on the tour, which serves as a morale booster for the troops serving abroad, by former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz and Tampa Bay Devil Rays owner Vincent Naimoli. The week-long trip took Miles to several U.S. bases in Kuwait and then on to Iraq, where he visited with hundreds of American Troops and even flew over the city of Baghdad in a Black Hawk. The Family Man When Miles isn t overseeing his LSU football family, he can most likely be found in the bleachers supporting his wife and kids at their sporting events. His oldest daughter Kathryn, who is commonly referred to as Smacker, is one of the top junior swimmers in the state of Louisiana and as a middle schooler, has helped University High School claim the Division IV state title in 2006 and.

Smacker also participates in basketball, volleyball and track and field. Miles two sons Manny and Ben are also avid athletes as they participate in everything from football, to baseball, to wrestling. Coach Miles also gets his share of time with the youngest of the Miles family and that s 5-year old Macy Grace. Coach Miles wife Kathy, who is a former assistant women s basketball coach at the collegiate level, spends time serving as a coach for Smacker s AAU basketball team.
