LSU football takes on Florida State for the only top 10 matchup of the weekend, on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. central time. There were many questions going into last year about the team’s offensive line, but star left tackle Will Campbell is entering another year with the team. He says where he is mentally starting the New Year against Florida State.

Cut 16 (16) “…what’s coming.”

The game is technically at a neutral site, but Orlando is only four hours away from Talahassee, and Kelly and his team are preparing for a hostile crowd.

Cut 14 (08) “…Florida State.”

LSU lost last year to the Seminoles 24-23 in the Superdome on a blocked extra point.

ULM plays Army this weekend for their season opener. Last year, Army beat the War Hawks 48-24, backed behind the triple option offense. ULM head coach Terry Bowden says they knew the team was playing the unusual style of football, but now it’s a bit different.
