BATON ROUGE, La. -- It didnt matter who was launching long passes to Rueben Randle and it certainly didnt matter that LSU was missing three key players. Randle caught scoring passes of 42 yards from Jordan Jefferson and 46 yards from Jarrett Lee, and No. 1 LSU once again overcame off-the-field distractions in style with a 45-10 victory over 19th-ranked Auburn on Saturday. "It just seems like no matter who goes down or whos out, we have guys who are ready to step in ... and not just to fill a spot but to go in and dominate," said LSU centre T-Bob Hebert. LSU was without star cornerback Tyrann Mathieu, leading rusher Spencer Ware and defensive back Tharold Simon -- all suspended one game for violating the teams drug policy. They watched the game on TV, teammates said, after being told to stay away from Tiger Stadium. Yet LSU continued to make team history with its eighth double-digit win in as many games this season, a streak that started with a season-opening triumph over Oregon without then-suspended Jefferson and receiver Russell Shepard. "I almost feel like everybody else makes a bigger deal about it than we do," Hebert said of the periodic lineup upheaval, and the public scrutiny of the misbehaviour that has caused it. "Its not distracting to us. This team is so good about staying focused, one-track mind, not letting anything on the outside get to them because we dont want to have any regrets." Off next week, LSU (8-0, 5-0 SEC) will be unbeaten entering what is bound to be a highly hyped showdown at No. 2 Alabama on Nov. 5. The Crimson Tide were playing at home Saturday night against struggling Tennessee. The beneficiary of Wares absence was freshman Kenny Hilliard, who scored the first two touchdowns of his career while rushing for 65 yards on only 10 carries. Randle finished with five receptions for 106 yards. "We all know our roles on this team and we know if we come out and do our jobs that we are going to be tough to beat," Randle said. "Kenny came in and really stepped up when we needed him." Lee was 14 of 20 for 165 yards and two touchdowns, the second a 10-yarder to Shepard. Jefferson completed two of three passes for 54 yards. "I feel really comfortable with the rhythm that I have with both quarterbacks," Randle said. "That was shown in both touchdown passes today." With Michael Ford leading the way (12 rushes, 82 yards), LSU gained 174 yards on the ground. Even without two key defensive backs, LSU held Auburn first-time starter Clint Moseley to 145 yards passing, sacked him six times and intercepted him once. "Its really difficult to really assess how he did," Auburn coach Gene Chizik said of Moseley. "That was an anemic job of protecting the quarterback. We have a lot of work to do and a lot of research to do to figure out how to stop the bleeding in that regard." If anyone questioned how deep LSU could really be at defensive back, it was none other than Mathieus replacement, Ron Brooks, who made the interception and returned it 28 yards for a score that made it 42-3 only half way through the third quarter. Shortly after Brooks scored, the message: "I see you Ron baby!!! THATS WHAT WE DO ..." appeared on Mathieus Twitter page. "I just tried to keep myself calm, not try to do too much and just play within the game plan and do what the coaches were asking me to do," said Brooks, a senior who has been part of LSUs six-defensive back formation for three seasons. Auburn (5-3, 3-2) was held to 87 yards rushing, led by Michael Dyers 60 yards. "The reality of it is we got beat in just about every phase of the game," Chizik said. "They did a lot of whatever they wanted." All season, LSU has appeared increasingly galvanized by each potential pitfall and coach Les Miles even mentioned several weeks ago that adversity seems to strengthen his tight-knit teams resolve. "That is the mark of a great team," Miles said. Its getting pretty hard to argue with that, considering LSU responded to its latest crisis with the most lopsided victory by either team in the 46-game history of the LSU-Auburn series. It was Auburns worst loss since a 51-10 demolition at the hands of then-No. 1 Florida in 1996. Wearing special edition uniforms, LSU defenders and coverage teams swarmed to the ball like blazing streaks of white, delivering crushing hits that provoked collective gasps from the Death Valley crowd. One such hit was delivered by safety Eric Reid, who jarred the ball from kickoff returner Tre Mason. LSUs Tahj Jones found the football while losing his helmet, rising in celebration with his dreadlocks aflutter at the Auburn 22. That set up Hilliards second score on a 1-yard dive to make it 35-3. Hilliards first touchdown came on a 9-yard run on games opening drive, giving LSU the lead for good. The Tigers still have not trailed since the second quarter of their season opener against Oregon. Auburn was threatening to tie it at 7, but Barkevious Mingos second sack of the game forced Auburn to settle for Cody Parkeys 42 field goal. That was as close as it ever got.

After all that waiting around, even the disappointment of the blowout loss that followed Saturdays ceremony couldnt completely ruin the Kings first championship celebration.NEW YORK - David Price came off the field after the fifth inning, drenched with sweat after his confrontation with Alex Rodriguez and Robinson Cano. He got them both out with the bases loaded, and Rays manager Joe Maddon figured that was enough. Price struck out eight to become the AL leader in wins, and Tampa Bay beat the New York Yankees 7-3 on Thursday night to avert a three-game series sweep. "David was outstanding. He only threw five innings, but it was almost like he threw a complete game," Maddon said. "The at-bat with A-Rod. Curveball, curveball, curveball, curveball. Strike three was incredible. Just an outstanding performance." Price finished his night by retiring two of the Yankees most dangerous hitters in a high-pressure situation. Rodriguez returned to the dugout after an 11-pitch at-bat and Cano grounded out in six more, ending New Yorks best threat to cut into a four-run lead. CC Sabathia struck out 12 and matched a season high with 121 pitches for the Yankees, who lost for the fourth time in their last 14 games and went 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position to lower their average in such situations to .218. The Yankees got the tying run to the plate with two outs in the eighth inning. Pinch-hitter Raul Ibanez singled in a run against Joel Peralta to make it 5-2, bringing up pinch-hitter Eric Chavez, who grounded out to first with two on. Russell Martin added a solo shot in the ninth for New York. Price (8-3) never seemed to find a rhythm against the Yankees. He walked four and gave up one run and three hits in his shortest appearance since lasting only three innings at Boston in his second start. But he stranded seven runners in those five innings -- four in scoring position. His 38-pitch fifth inning -- as harrowing as it was -- may have been his best. Chris Stewart hit a leadoff single, Derek Jeter walked and Curtis Granderson struck out before Teixeira walked, loading the bases for Rodriguez. He began swinging outside the batters box as the theme from "Jaws" played and the Rays huddled on the mound. "Thats not the position that I want to be in against anybody, especially against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium," Price said. Fans stood and cheered, then got louder with each pitch Rodriguez fouled off as he worked the count full. After A-Rod fouled off five of them, Price got him to swing and miss on a breaking ball that curved into the far lower corner of the strike zone, and Rodriguez stormed back to the dugout, talking to himself as boos rained down. With the airr let out of the stadium, Cano grounded out to second to end the inning.dddddddddddd Cano fell to 1 for 12 with the bases full this season. Rodriguez is 1 for 10. "That was the game, I thought." Maddon said. "That was the game. That game could have gone the other way." Rodriguez also made a two-base throwing error during the Rays two-run third inning, sailing the ball over Teixeiras head at first base on Elliot Johnsons one-out grounder The miscue led to two unearned runs, with Ben Zobrist singling home Johnson and scoring on B.J. Uptons sacrifice fly for a 3-1 lead. "We gave them an extra out," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "I thought CC threw pretty well, they just put their hits together. He kept us in the game." The Rays scored twice in the ninth, too. Nick Swisher mishandled Drew Suttons double in right, allowing Matt Joyce to score, and Johnson doubled home Sutton. Sabathia (7-3) got the worse end of the untidy pitchers duel. He allowed three earned runs, seven hits and a walk in seven innings. "Its a good lineup, that team," Sabathia said. "Theyre always at the top of the division." Sutton hit a two-run double into the left-field corner in the fourth. Jose Lobaton singled in the Rays first run, in the second. The Yankees tied it in the bottom half when Swisher came home on a groundout by Stewart after taking third on a wild pitch.
