Starkville, Miss. ? Craig Steltz had three of LSU’s six interceptions of Mississippi State quarterback Michael Henig, and the second-ranked Tigers manhandled the Bulldogs again in a 45-0 victory Thursday night.

LSU’s new starting quarterback Matt Flynn and new offensive coordinator Gary Crowton struggled to find a rhythm early, but they received plenty of help from Henig, who set a school record by throwing six picks.

No. 10 Louisville 73, Murray State 10

Louisville, Ky. – New coach. Same old Brian Brohm.

The Louisville quarterback threw for 375 yards and four touchdowns, and the 10th-ranked Cardinals sparkled in coach Steve Kragthorpe’s debut, drilling overmatched Murray State.

Brohm led Louisville (1-0) to touchdowns on each of the Cardinals’ first eight drives, guiding an attack that looked awfully similar to the wide-open system that former coach Bobby Petrino used to lead the Cardinals to national prominence.

No. 16 Rutgers 38, Buffalo 3

Piscataway, N.J. – Ray Rice rushed for 184 yards and three touchdowns, Tiquan Underwood had 10 catches for a school-record 248 yards, and Mike Teel passed for a career-best 328 yards as the Scarlet Knights opened their most anticipated season.

No. 24 Boise State 56, Weber State 7

Boise, Idaho – Ian Johnson ran for 129 yards and three touchdowns, and Taylor Tharp was steady in his first start at quarterback, guiding Boise State past Weber State in the season opener for both teams.
