Tech wins first Port City Classic

Myke Compton scored two first half touchdowns and the Louisiana Tech defense held Grambling State to two field goals as the Bulldogs defeated the Tigers 20-6 in the debut of first year head coach Sonny Dykes at Independence Stadium Saturday night.

"It feels good to get the first win," Dykes said. "Those are hard to come by in college football. If you look at the scores (from today) you can see some of the games and some of the teams that were probably favored to win and didn't. It feels great to get the win.

LSU survives

Two of the finest athletes in college football helped the 21st-ranked LSU football team take a 20-point lead over No. 18 North Carolina before the Tigers held off a fierce fourth-quarter rally on Saturday evening in the Georgia Dome, 30-24.

LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson had a school-record 257 return yards (157 punt/100 kickoff), including an 87-yard touchdown. Speedy wide receiver Russell Sheppardscored LSU's first two touchdowns of the season.
