Early Doucet catches winner in first game after Katrina

Sept. 10, 2005: LSU sleepwalked into the fourth quarter against Arizona State in its first game after Hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc on the Gulf Coast, but left with a monumental victory. With 1:13 left in the game, Les Miles went for the win on fourth-and-10 from ASU's 39-yard line.

JaMarcus Russell heaved a pass to the left side of the end zone and connected with Early Doucet, who kept one foot in bounds, giving the Tigers the 35-31 victory.
