BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Alley Broussard ran for a school-record 250 yards with three touchdowns and No. 14 LSU rallied to beat Mississippi 27-24 Saturday night.
Broussard broke the previous mark of 246 yards that Kevin Faulk set against Houston Sept. 7, 1996. Joseph Addai rushed for 107 yards on 14 carries for LSU.

For the first time this season JaMarcus Russell got the bulk of the game time. Russell completed 6 of 19 for 66 yards. He was intercepted once. Marcus Randall completed 2 of 5 for 15 yards.
