Jordan Jefferson was looking for anyone.Senior wide receiver Brandon LaFell was double-teamed and the sophomore quarterback was just 2-for-7 for 20 yards, putting the LSU offense in a quagmire.Then on 2nd and 10 with just under 1:30 left in the first half, a Washington defensive end dropped back into coverage and a cornerback sagged, leaving LSU receiver Terrance Toliver open over the middle of the field on a slant.Jefferson hit Toliver in stride. The junior receiver took care of the rest, running through a would-be Washington tackler to get into the end zone for the Tigers’ first offensive touchdown of the season, providing a boost to the Tigers, who were in a struggle against Washington.Jefferson had found his new go-to guy.”We knew that Terrance was going to get the ball a good bit off how Washington played [in the past],” Jefferson said. “Once I knew their coverage was what we had been practicing for, I started to find him.”But Toliver didn’t stop there, as he had another catch and run with six minutes left in the third quarter, this time for 39 yards thanks in part to a cornerback blitz, to give LSU a 24-13 lead against the Huskies.He would eventually finish the game with four receptions for 117 yards and the two touchdowns as the Tigers went on to win, 31-23.”That was the best game of my career,” Toliver said. “Like I said in the spring — I’m ready to go, and I think I proved that Saturday.”LSU coach Les Miles said the coaching staff knew all along Toliver had the ability to have a break- out performance.”He had a big night,” Miles said. “He will be part of every game plan … The opportunity for us to throw to him is certainly something we look forward to.”Getting into the end zone is nothing new for the tall target from Hempstead, Texas.Toliver was rated the No. 1 wide receiver in his class by Scout.com and ESPN.com coming out of high school as a 2006 Parade All-America team member. He was also the Texas state champion in the long jump and a starter on the basketball court.He caught 50 passes for 780 yards and 10 touchdowns as a junior before taking in 42 passes for 861 yards and six touchdowns as a senior at Hempstead High School.With all the hype, the 6-foot 5-inch junior didn’t disappoint as a member of the 2007 BCS National Championship team, as he was used frequently in three wide receiver sets during his first season as a Tiger.In his freshman campaign, Toliver was named to the Southeastern Conference All-Freshman Team after he saw action in all 14 games with two starts, catching 10 passes for 249 yards and three touchdowns.Toliver again got two starts last season while seeing action in all 13 games. He was frequently found by LSU’s trio of quarterbacks, catching 22 balls for 257 yards and a touchdown.Toliver said his playing time as an underclassman helped develop him into the receiver he is today.”I know more of the offense now,” the junior said. “I know how to read coverage … In my freshman year I was just running a route instead of reading coverages.”There was only one problem with Toliver’s night — ESPN’s coverage of his first touchdown catch.The network was coming off a small segment between plays when Jefferson connected with Toliver, and the national television audience and Tiger faithful only got to see Toliver run the final 20 yards of his score.However, Toliver said he wasn’t upset.”Some other people told me they only saw the run,” Toliver said. “I saw it on YouTube later at the hotel, so it’s all good.”————Contact Andy Schwehm at [email protected]
