BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — With a running game like LSU’s, maybe it doesn’t matter who plays quarterback.
Charles Scott rushed for a career-high 160 yards on 16 carries, including touchdowns of 8 and 29 yards, and LSU rolled to 41-13 victory over Appalachian State on Saturday.
LSU coach Les Miles finally answered the question of who his starting quarterback would be when Harvard transfer Andrew Hatch took the field on the Tigers’ opening three series, which produced 17 points. Miles also gave redshirt freshman Jarrett Lee a chance to run the show. Both threw their first touchdown passes as Tigers, but the real damage was done while they handed off.
LSU finished with 266 yards rushing. Hatch was 7-of-14 passing for 77 yards, including a 17-yard TD to Demetrius Byrd. He also ran for 43 yards. Lee was 6-of-10 for 116 yards with scoring passes of 31 and 39 yards to Brandon LaFell. Lee also threw an interception that set up a Mountaineers’ field goal.
