LSU's Magee leads Tigers' ground game

Death Valley will be the site of two Tigers squaring off in the SEC opener for LSU hosting
Auburn Saturday night with a 6:45 kickoff. The game is being broadcast on ESPN.
LSU looks to keep its unblemished 3-0 mark in tact Saturday as Auburn also enters the fray at
3-0.
LSU captured last year's contest winning 12-10 on the road.
LSU junior running back Terrence Magee, a Franklinton High former Demon quarterback, has emerged making the most of his opportunities, showcasing his talent.
Magee, 5-foot-9, 214 pounds,  tops the Tigers' rushing game with 210 yards on 26 carries, averaging 8.1 yards per rush. Magee is averaging 70 yards per game with three touchdowns and has one reception for 15
yards.
Jeremy Hill, who was suspended for the first game and part of the second, is next rushing for
167 yards, averaging 9.8 yards per carry with three scores. Alfred Blue has chipped in gaining
153 yards, averaging 4.8 yards per attempt..
LSU has rushed for 656 yards, averaging 5.5 yards per rush with eight rushing touchdowns, while outscoring its opponents 138-67 and has not trailed at any point in the season.
LSU announced the Oct. 26 Homecoming game against Furman will be televised on Tigervision,
the school's pay-per-view network. The LSU-Furman game is set for 6 o'clock and for the
first time the Tigervision telecast will be in high-definition.
