The Falcons beating the Giants yesterday ended the Saints slim playoff hopes and for the fourth consecutive season New Orleans will miss the postseason. But the Black and Gold still have three games left this year, starting tonight in Green Bay against the Packers, who are fighting for playoff positioning.

Tonight marks another chance for rookie Spencer Rattler to show he’s a future starting quarterback for the Saints. Rattler will get the start for the injured Derek Carr …

Cut 20 (12) “….myself to”

Kick-off is at 7:15.

Former LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels led the Commanders back from a 13-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Eagles 36 to 33. Daniels threw five touchdown passes and led the team in rushing with 81 yards.

LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier threw for 37-hundred yards and 26 touchdowns this season and led the Tigers to eight victories. Nussmeier had the option to enter his name in the NFL draft, but the Lake Charles native says there’s still more to do at LSU…

Cut 16 (16) “…wasn’t finished.”

Nussmeier will likely have a new starting center next season as Braelin Moore from Virginia Tech has signed with LSU. Moore started at center for the Hokies this year and will have two years of eligibility left.

LSU Men’s basketball started slow yesterday but beat UNO 86 to 70. Vyctorius Miller had team-high 17 points.

Sincere Parker scored 20 of his 22 points in the second half as McNeese defeated U-L Lafayette 64 to 56 in the 100th meeting on the hardwood between the two schools.
