J.D. Moore's first LSU touchdown comes as a surprise even to him

OXFORD, Miss. -- J.D. Moore scored the first touchdown of his college career on a play he didn't expect to.

The play could have gone to wideout Russell Gage when he motioned from right to left just as quarterback Danny Etling took a shotgun snap on first-and-10 from the Ole Miss 11 Saturday.

But with Ole Miss defensive end Breeland Speaks coming across the line of scrimmage to keep Gage from getting around the end, Etling pulled the ball back and pitched it to Moore as he followed the lead block of pulling guard Ed Ingram through an opening on the left side of the line.
