LSU senior kicker Colt David lined up and went through his usual routine before knocking through a career-long 51-yard field goal Saturday against Georgia.At the time, the three points seemed most valuable to LSU as David’s kick cut the Tiger’s deficit to 11 points. But David’s swing of the foot accomplished another feat — it made him the highest scorer in LSU history.The Grapevine, Texas, native said he never imagined he’d reach that goal in 2005 when he walked onto the LSU program.”After last year, I knew it could maybe happen,” David said. “But it was still kind of far off, so I still focused more on kicking and focused on being more and more mentally strong, because it doesn’t matter where you are, it’s still the same kick.” The kick moved David, who now has 324 career points, past the previous record holder, former LSU running back Kevin Faulk. Faulk finished his four-year career at LSU with 318.The next closest kicker on the LSU scoring list is John Corbello, who compiled 279 points for the Tigers from 1999-2002.David is now No. 8 on the all-time Southeastern Conference scoring list and needs 85 more points this season to catch former Georgia kicker Billy Bennett. Junior tight end Richard Dickson said playing with a kicker who is breaking so many records gives the entire offense something to be proud of.”It gives everyone pride,” Dickson said. “Because we’re scoring the touchdowns to help him get the points. So obviously, he’s a great kicker. But it makes everyone feel good about themselves, because it’s a team honor.” David started his career kicking mostly extra points and short field goals but has evolved into a more complete kicker the past two seasons. He has hit 8 of 10 field goals and all 22 extra points he’s attempted this season.Most would think David’s most memorable moment at LSU was his touchdown run on a fake field goal last season against South Carolina. But he said he has a different favorite LSU moment.”Definitely [Saturday’s] 51-yarder was the most memorable,” he said. But David’s record was somewhat overshadowed by the end result of LSU’s game — a 14-point loss at home, the Tigers’ worst defeat in Tiger Stadium since a 31-0 loss to Alabama in 2002.   Junior halfback Charles Scott said he feels bad David’s moment to shine came in a game he will always remember as a disappointment.”It’s great that he did it,” he said. “And I certainly would like to congratulate him, but we lost the game. It’s hard to look at stats and records when you lose a game. And I feel bad for him, because I know that if I would have set a record in this game, it wouldn’t have meant as much to me, because the loss would have overruled everything.”LSU coach Les Miles agreed with Scott but labeled David as one of the team’s bright spots against Georgia.”That’s great for him,” Miles said. “But I promise you he’s sick. We all are.”David said he was crushed LSU lost, but a few days removed from the defeat, he is more able to focus on the excitement of being LSU’s new all-time scoring leader.”Everyone was disappointed after the game,” he said. “But it’s still a great honor and a great accomplishment. One of the best that I’ll have in my life.”—-Contact Casey Gisclair at cgisclair
