First quarter

LSU — Russell Shepard 19 run (Josh Jasper kick), 8:05. DRIVE: 2 plays-23 yards-:48. KEY PLAYS: Daniel Graff blocks Tulane punter Ross Thevenot’s punt and Stefoin Francois smothers the ball at the Green Wave 23-yard line. On the touchdown, Shepard lines up as the Wildcat quarterback picks a hole on the right side and then glides back across the grain untouched for his second touchdown of the season. LSU 7, Tulane 0

LSU — Brandon LaFell 39 pass from Jordan Jefferson (Jasper kick), 2:32. DRIVE: 5-63-1:35. KEY PLAYS: Charles Scott rambles 39 yards on back-to-back carries, and on third down Jefferson rolls right away from pressure and lofts a strike to LaFell, who is waiting all alone at the goal line. LSU 14, Tulane 0

Second quarter

LSU — Scott 4 run (Jasper kick), 2:32. DRIVE: 8-74-3:50. KEY PLAYS: Scott carves our 33 yards on five carries, including a 16-yard burst from the Tulane 34 to the 18. Jefferson scrambles for 10 yards to convert a third down and goes 2-for-2 through the air, connecting with Terrance Toliver for 17 yards and Rueben Randle for 14. LSU 21, Tulane 0

Third quarter

LSU — Scott 8 run (Jasper kick), :54. DRIVE: 3-20-1:06. KEY PLAYS: After the Tigers defense forces the fifth Wave punt of the night, Trindon Holliday wiggles loose for a 50-yard return. Scott blasts his way for 6 yards and the TD, his second of the night to pass Terry Robiskie and climb into fourth place on LSU’s all-time list of rushing touchdowns with 32. LSU 28, Tulane 0

Fourth quarter

LSU — LaFell 13 pass from Jefferson (Jasper kick), 9:55. DRIVE: 8-69-4:01. KEY PLAYS: The Tigers gouge Tulane with Scott rushing three times for 17 yards, Keiland Williams adding two carries for 20 yards and Jefferson hooking up with his two security blankets — Toliver for 12 yards and LaFell on the touchdown. To notch his 22nd career receiving TD — second place on the school’s all-time list, LaFell comes back just in front of the goal line for the catch and jabs the ball over the goal line. LSU 35, Tulane 0

LSU — Stevan Ridley 10 run (Jasper kick), 1:12. DRIVE: 11-98-5:00. KEY PLAYS: After getting stuffed for a 1-yard loss on his first carry of the season, Ridley hammers away at Tulane’s defense for 73 yards on eight carries on the drive. Jarrett Lee hits a pair of passes for the other 25 yards, an 8-yard completion to Randle and 17 to John Williams as the Tigers cap their most productive offensive night of the season with the longest drive of 2009. LSU 42, Tulane 0

Final score: LSU 42, Tulane 0.
