Lynch, Hayden lead offensive explosion against Syracuse in 58-24 Independence Bowl win
SHREVEPORT -- With QB Paxton Lynch 100% healthy after a 21 day layoff, the Tigers offense took off like a jet, posting season highs in points (58) and total offense (606 yards) in what was arguably the biggest game of the season. Lynch was spectacular throughout, accounting for 477 yards and 5 scores, with 144 yards and 3 scores going to junior WR Jarod Hayden. That, along with his 10 catches, gives Hayden the school's record for receptions and yards in a single season.
The win gives the Tigers their first bowl victory since 2005 and their first 9 win season since 2003.
