Elsewhere this weekend….McNeese State is at Stephen F Austin for a Southland Conference match-up. The Lumberjacks are 0-and-2 and coming off a 70-7 loss to TCU. Nicholls State has its first conference game under first-year head coach Tim Rebowe. The Colonels are at Incarnate Word, who lost to McNeese last weekend. In the SWAC, Grambling is at Alabama State and Southern hosts Jackson State.

The Saints offense could get a lift this weekend if running back CJ Spiller returns. Spiller has been sidelined by a knee injury, but practiced yesterday for the first time since undergoing surgery. Spiller hasn’t had much time to work with Drew Brees. But the veteran Q-B is optimistic the two can click right away….

Coach Sean Payton said today that Spiller is getting up to speed, but would not say if Spiller will definitely play against the Bucs.
