  LSU quarterback Max Johnson gave some young, unproven receivers a chance to show what they could do. Their highlight-reel catches gave LSU every reason to keep them involved. Johnson passed for 372 yards and a career-best five touchdowns in less than three quarters, LSU defensive end Andre Anthony returned a fumble for a 33-yard score before leaving with an injury, and the Tigers topped Central Michigan 49-21 on Saturday night. With the Tigers speeding up their tempo and checking less to the sideline before the snap, Johnson completed 26 of 35 passes. "Went up-tempo to get some juice and get some things going," Johnson said, adding that the faster-pace "helped us a lot. It allowed us to get lined up - and our opponent didn't." Deion Smith, a freshman who had one catch through LSU's first two games, had touchdown catches of 28 and 40 yards in the first quarter as the Tigers (2-1) raced to a 21-0 lead.

Freshman tight end Jack Bech caught five passes for 81 yards, highlighted by his one-handed, back-shoulder, 20-yard touchdown catch along the left sideline. "Everyone saw what we are capable of tonight," Bech said. "My confidence is growing each game and we are going to put the country on notice." LSU coach Ed Orgeron figured it was only a matter of time before Smith and Bech head breakout games. "It was fun to see them do it in Tiger Stadium; I've been seeing them do it all the time in practice," Orgeron said. "Those guys are going to be tremendous." - LSU/AP College Football
