BATON ROUGE, La — Western Kentucky defensive coordinator Lance Guidry was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated early Saturday morning in Baton Rouge, according to an affidavit obtained by the Baton Rouge Advocate.

Guidry was on the sideline and coaching WKU (5-5) in its 42-9 loss to No. 1-ranked LSU on Saturday night.

“Western Kentucky assistant coach Lance Guidry was arrested early Saturday morning for driving while intoxicated on College Drive, according to an affidavit of probable cause,” the Advocate reported.

Guidry, 40, was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on one count each of second-offense DWI and improper lane usage, the affidavit said.

“Guidry was previously arrested for DWIs on April 1, 1990, and Sept. 12, 2003,” the affidavit said. The affidavit did not say where those arrests took place.

Guidry was booked by Baton Rouge police officers at 2:51 a.m. Saturday, parish prison records show. Guidry was pulled over by officers in the 2400 block of College Drive at 1:03 a.m., the affidavit said.

“Officers noticed Guidry swerve his right side tires onto the center white lines twice and his left tires onto the center yellow lines on Constitution Avenue twice,” the affidavit said.

An officer pulled Guidry over and put him through a field sobriety test, which Guidry performed poorly, the affidavit said.

“Guidry registered a 0.123 blood alcohol content,” the affidavit said.

Guidry was not made available for comment after Saturday’s game, and head coach Willie Taggart would not comment on Guidry during the postgame news conference.

Western Kentucky athletic director Ross Bjork said afterward that Saturday was about the game and the players, and that the matter will be dealt with when the team returns to Bowling Green.

Bjork also said he has all the information necessary on the matter.

Taggart not satisfied with valiant effort

Western Kentucky trailed 21-9 in the third quarter and had the ball at its own 31. Twenty-one points later, a scare into the nation’s top team had diminished.

“I was believing we could win,” Taggart said. “But I knew it wasn’t going to happen if we didn’t play a perfect ballgame. We were coming in believing we could win. We had a plan on what we felt like, if we could execute, it would give us a better chance in this ballgame. Again, we had to be perfect, and we weren’t perfect.”

The Hilltoppers had their five-game winning streak snapped as LSU improved to 10-0 for the first time since 1958. The Tigers did so by outscoring WKU 35-2 after the game was knotted 7-7 after one quarter.

“We’re upset. We lost,” Taggart said. “You only get one shot to have an opportunity like that, to beat a No. 1 team, and we lost, so from my standpoint we’re disappointed. Now, are we excited our guys played hard? I was looking to see our guys play hard and not giving up. They played hard. Scored more points than Alabama.”

LSU defeated then-No. 2 Alabama, 9-6, last weekend.

Western Kentucky still has two opportunities to become eligible for its first FBS bowl game, starting next week when it travels to North Texas for a 6 p.m. contest.

They’re not booing, they’re Blue-ing

LSU sophomore Alfred Blue ran for 119 yards on nine carries and scored two TDs in the win.

Blue had rushed for a previous high of 73 yards earlier this season against Florida. Each carry was met by a chorus of “Blue!” by the 92,917 in attendance at Tiger Stadium.
