2009 BCS National Championship Game

In the third year of revamping the BCS System and instituting the “5th Bowl Game” it was not even close. Once again, Ohio State was victimized by SEC speed. This time, though, it wasn't so much a matter of how fast the LSU Tigers could run, but
the speed in which they could go on a run.

Having spotted the Buckeyes an early 10-point lead, LSU scored 24 points in a little more than 13 minutes and rarely slowed down en route to winning the BCS national championship with a 38-24 victory in the Louisiana Superdome. Quarterback Matt Flynn threw two of his four touchdown passes while guiding the Tigers on four consecutive scoring drives in the first half. The run paved the way for LSU to capture its second national championship in four years and first in three seasons under coach Les Miles. The Tigers defeated Oklahoma 21-14 in the Superdome for the 2003 national title.
