In four games this season, LSU starting quarterback Danny Etling has thrown just one interception. He goes up against a Florida defense this Saturday that has picked off eight passes. Etling says the Gators have a very talented defense…:
Cut 16 (16) “be easy”
LSU will face Florida at 11 AM on Saturday. School officials say they are keeping an eye on Hurricane Matthew as it continues too drift northward towards Florida and the US east coast, but Tuesday said the status of the game has thus far not changed. Tulane is scheduled to take on UCF Friday night, and they say a call will be made on that game sometime this afternoon.

After playing three straight games on the road, ULM returns to Malone Stadium on Saturday night to host Idaho. Warhawks Coach Matt Viator says he’s impressed with Vandals offense, which is led by junior quarterback Matt Linehan…:
Cut 19 (13) “they do”
Last week, ULM lost to Auburn 58-7.

The 76ers say former LSU star and the No. 1 overall pick Ben Simmons has had surgery to repair a broken bone in his right foot. Simmons suffered the injury in Philadelphia’s final training camp scrimmage last week, and there is no timetable yet for his return.

In the first preseason home game for the Pelicans, New Orleans fell to the Pacers 113-96. It was the first time in the nest for first round pick Buddy Hield, who ended up making 14 of 21 shots for 35 points.
