The Saints are 2-0 for the first time since 2013 after beating the Carolina Panthers 20-17 in Charlotte last night. The offense could not find the end zone in the first half, but Tony Jones Jr scored two rushing touchdowns in the second half that were set up by deep passes from Derek Carr to Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed. Coach Dennis Allen says it feels good to start 2-0…
Cut 16 (18) “…problem to have”
New Orleans defense has been very good so far. They held Panthers rookie Bryce Young to 153 yards passing and sacked him four times.
Saints running back Jamaal Williams left the game late in the first half with a hamstring injury. Tony Jones Junior had two TDs and 34 yards rushing.
After blowing out Mississippi State in Starkville, the 12th ranked Tigers are getting ready to host Arkansas at 6 PM on Saturday night. The Razorbacks are coming off a home loss to BYU, where they blew a 14 points lead. Hogs Quarterback K-J Jefferson turned it over twice. LSU Coach Brian Kelly says Jefferson might have been caught trying to do too much…
Cut 18 (18) “…against us.”
The Hogs could use All-SEC running back Rocket Sanders. He’s missed the last two games with a knee injury and Coach Sam Pittman says it’s too early to tell if he’ll be ready for this Saturday.
Meanwhile, Kelly announced safety Greg Brooks Junior is out indefinitely after suffering a medical emergency prior to Saturday’s win over Mississippi State.
