Just a dreadful game for the Saints yesterday as they lost to the Cincinnati Bengals 27-10. Quarterback Drew Brees threw for 255 yards, but it only resulted in one fourth quarter touchdown. The Saints defense allowed former LSU running back Jeremy Hill to rush for 152 yards. And the Bengals converted 9-of-13 times on 3rd down. Coach Sean Payton says that’s unacceptable…
cut 20 (18) “…at least”
And the news keeps getting worse for the Saints. Rookie wide receiver Brandin Cooks is expected to miss the next month with a broken thumb. Brooks is the team’s second leading receiver and the team’s punt returner. And Saints Safety Rafael Bush has a broken fibula and is likely done for the season.

LSU’s offense looked as bad as it’s ever looked on Saturday in a 17-0 defeat to Arkansas. Terrence Magee was LSU’s leading rusher and he only had 24 yards on seven carries. The senior from Franklington says losing two in a row is no fun…
cut 17 (15) “….this thing”
Quarterback Anthony Jennings threw for only 87 yards and sacked four times. He also had a fumble. Coach Les Miles said they stuck with Jennings, instead of bringing in Brandon Harris, because Jennings gave them the best chance to win.

In other college football action…the Ragin Cajuns won their sixth straight on Saturday as they defeated U-L-M 34-27. The Warhawks have lost six in a row, the last four have been by single digits.

Grambling State’s seven game winning streak ended on Saturday with a 27-23 loss to Alabama State.
