PEACH BOWL LSU humbles No. 9 Miami, 40-3

ATLANTA (AP) -- Matt Flynn did so well in his first start, the Peach Bowl turned into 60 minutes of fun for No. 10 LSU.
What happened after the game wasn't nearly so nice.
Flynn threw two touchdown passes, Joseph Addai rushed for 130 yards and the Tigers humbled No. 9 Miami, even running a couple of fake kicks in a 40-3 rout Friday that marked the Hurricanes' most-lopsided bowl loss ever.
Bo Pelini, a Cardinal Mooney High graduate, is the defensive coordinator for Louisiana State.
There were shoves and punches thrown between players immediately after the game as both teams left the field into the same tunnel. Georgia State Patrol officers intervened, and minutes later Miami's Andrew Bain, apparently dazed, was escorted by officers back out of the tunnel.
Flynn, a sophomore filling in for injured starter JaMarcus Russell, completed 13 of 22 passes for 196 yards with no interceptions. He also rushed for 39 yards and was named the offensive MVP.
Led by Flynn, LSU (11-2) rebounded from its worst game of the year, a 34-14 loss to Georgia in the Dec. 3 Southeastern Conference championship game, returning to the Georgia Dome and delivering one of its strongest performance of the season.
Scoring streak
LSU scored on eight straight possessions in a streak that started with a field goal late in the first quarter, included two third-quarter scoring drives, and lasted into the final quarter.
Even with a lopsided lead, LSU attempted to add to the rout, successfully faking a field goal while leading 34-3 late in the third quarter and then failing on a fake punt with a 40-3 lead late in the game.
LSU piled up 471 yards, the most allowed by Miami this season. The Hurricanes (9-3) entered leading the nation in pass defense and ranked third in total defense.
The Tigers were just as impressive on defense, holding Miami to 153 yards and six first downs -- none in the second half. Kyle Wright completed only 10 of 21 passes for 100 yards.
LSU had its largest margin of victory in a bowl game, easily surpassing its 45-26 win over Michigan in the 1995 Independence Bowl. Miami's previous most lopsided loss in a bowl game was a 29-0 loss to Arizona in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 1, 1994.
Addai has big game
Addai, slowed by an ankle injury the final month of the season, hadn't had 15 carries or rushed for 100 yards since gaining 105 in LSU's 20-17 overtime win over Auburn on Oct. 22.
Addai scored on a 4-yard pass from Flynn in the second quarter and a 6-yard run in the third.
In building a 20-3 halftime lead, LSU had 301 total yards -- almost 50 more yards than the average total of 252 allowed by Miami in a game.
The teams traded field goals in the first quarter -- first a 21-yarder by Miami's Jon Peattie and then a 37-yarder by LSU's Chris Jackson.
