It looks like LSU has found a passing game. For a second straight week, Tigers quarterback Brandon Harris threw for over 200 yards. He threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns in the Tigers 35-28 win over Florida. Harris admits he’s playing with a chip on his shoulder…

It doesn’t look like Harris will have a chance to throw the football to tight end Dillon Gordon anymore this season. Coach Les Miles said today that Gordon is likely done for the season after suffering an injury after catching a pass against the Gators.

The Saints have reportedly released rookie kicker Zach Hocker after he missed a couple of field goals in New Orleans win over Atlanta last week. It’s been reported that Kai Forbath will take Hocker’s place. Forbath is 28-years-old and was released earlier this year by the Redskins. He’s made 87-percent of his field goals during his four-year career.

Tonight’s Monday night football game has the Giants visiting the Philadelphia Eagles. New York’s Odell Beckham is listed as questionable, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Giants are “encouraged” that the former LSU star will be able to play tonight.

And it looks like former LSU Tiger Zach Mettenberger will be playing very soon. Tennessee starting quarterback Marcus Mariota has suffered a sprained M-C-L after taking a low hit on Sunday. Mettenberger threw for 63 yards in relief during a 38-10 loss to Miami.

In the NBA…the Pelicans will take on the Houston Rockets tonight at 7 PM in preseason action.
