Joe Sloan enters his second year as the offensive coordinator for LSU. Sloan is going to have much more talent to work with this year at the wide receiver position.  Last year, the Tigers weren’t much of a vertical threat in the pass game, but with the help of fifth-year senior Chris Hilton, Sloan says the Tigers can add another element to its offense.

CUT 19 (19): “good football” (OL)

The Associated Press released its preseason top 25 for the 2025 college football season. Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers will start the season as the number 9 team in the country. Other Louisiana schools that received votes for the top 25 were the Tulane Green Wave with 23 votes and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette with one vote.

The New Orleans Saints lost its first preseason game against the Chargers on Sunday by a score of 27 to 13. The highlight of the game for the Saints was rookie quarterback Tyler Shough’s 54-yard touchdown pass to Mason Tipton. Tipton is in his second season out of Yale and Moore likes what he sees from the wide out.

CUT 17 (10): “with us.”

Shough ended his first NFL preseason game by completing 15 of his 22 passes for 165 yards with one passing touchdown and an interception. Shough’s interception was a costly one, where Chargers defensive back Eric Rogers took it 43 yards for a touchdown. Shough says he would make the same throw 9 times out of ten and gave credit to Rogers.
