Preseason camp is over for the LSU Tigers as today is the first day of school. Tiger fans will have to patiently wait until the season opener against BYU on September 2nd, before we get a better idea of what LSU’s new offense will look like under Matt Canada. Head Coach Ed Orgeron says they will look to throw the football to their talented running backs…:
Cut 16 (17) “we are doing it”
Orgeron says he plans to name a starter at quarterback this week.

The Ragin Cajuns also wrapped up fall camp following a scrimmage Saturday. Head Coach Mark Hudspeth says he likes what he saw when the team finally got to play outside…:
CUT 26 (13) “in that sun”
UL-Lafayette and Southeastern open the season at Cajun field on September 2nd.

They did it without Drew Brees, Mark Ingram or Adrian Peterson, but the Saints saw an incredible performance last night from Alvin Kamara. The rookie running back had a 50 yard touchdown run on New Orleans’ first offensive snap in a 13-7 preseason victory over the Charges. Coach Sean Payton said, overall, he was pleased with his team’s effort in the game.:
CUT 25 (17) “some success”
Kamara finished the game with 61 yards on five carries, and one reception for 20 yards.

LSU men’s head basketball Will Wade announces former national junior college player of the year, Kavell Bigby-Williams, will transfer from the University of Oregon to play for the Tigers this fall. He was a member of the Ducks squad that made it to the Final Four.
