  • r^ifiiiWifririi fofa//y 5/asetf Catamount Coverage September 06, 2000 More from LSU pages 16 & 18 Too Much 'Booty' in Louisiana Bayou by Daniel Hooker Sports Editor BATON ROUGE, LA — Fifty-eight seconds. That's exactly how long it took Louisiana State University starting quarterback Josh Booty to find the mismatch with the Western Carolina Catamount defense. Booty connected with Reggie Robinson on a third and twelve situation for his first d£ two touchdown passes as LSU easily i .efeated the Cats 58-0 in front of 87,188 fans, the largest football crowd in the state of Louisiana history. "Well obviously we didn't walk into a situation and play a team that doesn't have any talent," said Catamount head coach Bill Bleil after the game. "LSU has some good looking athletes on their team, and in many positions we were mismatched." He added, "I was really proud of how our kids played for four quarters. I can't say enough for how hard they played and how proud I am of them." The Division I-AA Cats were definitely out-matched by the Tigers. They were bigger, stronger, but more importantly, they were faster. "I think we also underestimated the strength of [Josh] Booty's arm," Bleil said. The Tiger offense racked up 680 yards in total offense — 507 of them in the first half. Also, five of LSU's eight touchdowns on the night came on plays of 30 yards or more. Not only did the Tiger offense mangle the Catamounts defense, their defense did a tremendous job at stopping WCU's offensive attack. It took four possessions for the Cats to tally a first down, and the Tigers 'D' didn't allow David Rivers and company over mid-field until late in the second quarter. "We had a game on the scoreboard, and we had a game on the field like 1 talked about. I wanted the players to compete for 60 minutes, and I was pleased with the way they did that," said LSU head football coach Nick Saban, who is the fourth-highest paid coach in the NCAA. For the Catamounts on the offensive side of the ball, things looked good despite the numbers. Rivers, in his first game as a Catamount, was 10-for-21 for 75 yards. He also gained 16 yards on the ground. Western Carolina's "run by committee" was led by junior Donnie Bryant, who rushed three times for 28 yards, with freshman Fred Boateng carrying eight times for 25 yards. Returning from injury that kept him out last season, senior Tracy Biggs racked up 21 yards on six carries. Sophomore Michael Banks led WCU in receiving, snaring four balls for 49 yards. The Catamounts will look to return the favor of one week ago as they play host to a smaller school, as the Division II Lenoir- photo by Mark Haskett Catamount defenders Lorenzo Ferguson (5), Seth Hanssen (59), and Jerrod Boone (34) stuff the Tiger ball carrier. Rhyne Bears come to Cullowhee for the first-time since 1994. LR is 2-0 on the young season, but since 1982, the Catamounts are 10-1 at home in games that follow a loss to a Di vision I-A school. WCU is also a perfect 12-0 in games versus a D-II opponent. Kickoff is set for 6:00 pm at E. J. Whitmire Stadium, with tailgating festivities prior to the game. reshman Rebecca Twiner Takes the Judaculla Cup Judaculla Cup* winner Rebecca Twiner in action by Daniel Hooker Sports Editor Freshman Rebecca Twiner out-lasted senior standout Suzanne Shipley to win the 2000 Judaculla Cup held at the Waynesville Country Club. The two entered the fourth and final round of the intra-squad tournament tied. At the turn in the final round, the two were again tied. However, on the thirteenth hole, Twiner paired with Shipley bogeying, giving Twiner the lead for good. "It was exciting to watch," said coach Steve Lott. "I don't know if I've ever seen that many birdies in five holes. But the whole team was playing really well." Lott added that the leaders were in the first group and that he kept going back to the second group updating them on the action among the leaders. Twiner finished with a four- round total of 299. The Crystal River, Fla. native shot every round in the 70s, recording a 74, 76, 77, and 72, respectively. Shipley finished with a total of 301 (81, 72, 74, and 74). "We've never played this well in practice, but it gives us a lot of confidence going into our first tournament," Lott said. Joining Twiner and Shipley on the van to South Carolina on Wednesday will be Shelley Glenister, who finished with a total of 309, Mary Faulk at 321, and Jackie Drygas, who finished fifth with a four round total of 323. Team captain Brook Stillman, a junior, finished strong with a fourth round 79 to finish with an overall 331. Freshman Kristin Jarman withdrew in the fourth round with an ankle injury. As a team, the second round was the lowest, with the top five recording a 299. However, the consistency shown by the team has to be encouraging. The team finished with rounds of 311, 304 and 304 to go along with the lowest round. The first tournament for Lott and crew is this weekend in Myrtle Beach, SC. The Unlimited Potential/Baytree Intercollegiate is the biggest college golf tournament in NCAA history with 36 teams, 180 golfers competing. According to Lott the entire Southern Conference, except Furman, and teams such as North Carolina State, Illinois, and Campbell will be in attendance. "Golf is an individual game and the drive to beat each other is still there. But you still have to have the team score," said Lott. "The whole team is confident and has really gelled. They're really looking after each other." The weekend tournament runs Friday through Sunday.
