BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -Patrick Peterson returned a punt 60 yards for a score and blocked a field goal, and No. 15 LSU held on for a 20-14 victory over 22nd-ranked West Virginia on Saturday night.
The Tigers (4-0) once again had to rely heavily on defense and special teams play to remain unbeaten. Jordan Jefferson had a third straight game throwing for fewer than 100 yards and no touchdowns. He was also intercepted twice and briefly pulled in the fourth quarter.
Jefferson’s second interception set up Geno Smith’s 13-yard scoring strike to Jock Sanders, which got WVU (3-1) as close as 17-14 in the third quarter, but the closest the Mountaineers came to scoring after that was a missed 48-yard field goal.
Stevan Ridley had a 1-yard TD run for LSU, and Josh Jasper added field goals 49 and 23 yards.
