Steve Ensminger is officially the new offensive coordinator for LSU. Ensminger has been with the Tigers for the last eight years, most recently as the team’s tight ends coach, and he also served as the interim offensive coordinator in 2016. Despite a promising past record helping the team’s offense, Tiger Rag’s James Moran says LSU fans don’t sound happy…:
Cut 14 (14) “at LSU”
Ensminger is a former LSU quarterback who brought the team to three bowl games in the late 70s. LSU running back Derrius announced Wednesday he will enter the NFL Draft.

Tiger fans got to witness another brilliant performance by the men’s hoops team last night, as LSU dominated Arkansas the entire game on their way to a 75-54 victory. The Tigers return to the PMAC Saturday to face Alabama.

The Saints face their biggest challenge of the year this Sunday, as they head to Minnesota for a rematch of the season opener that they lost 29-19. The Vikings boast the best defense in the league, and have routinely suffocated even the best offenses. Coach Sean Payton…:
Cut 16 (14) “a great defense”
