Saints Quarterback Jameis Winston was limited at practice yesterday due to his ongoing back injuries. When asked by the media about it, he said his focus is on executing and winning games. He threw three interceptions in the fourth quarter against the Buccaneers last Sunday, including a costly pick-six, which he says was extremely frustrating…:
Cut 17 (17) “the middle”
The Saints face the Panthers on Sunday at noon. Carolina has lost 9 games in a row.

LSU and New Mexico will meet for the first time on the football field this Saturday, and getting sophomore wideout Jack Bech is a goal for the Tigers. The Lafayette native only has two catches in three games, after leading the team in receptions with 43 catches for 489 yards and three touchdowns last season.

U-L Lafayette’s nation-leading 15-game win streak came to an end last weekend in a loss to Rice, but coach Michael Desormeaux is glad the pressure has been taken off his team and is looking forward to bouncing back this weekend against conference rival ULM. He says ULM has had to face Texas and Alabama so far and look better on film than their record shows…:
CUT 20 (20) “physical”
ULM starting offensive tackle Stacey Wilkins has been suspended from the team until further notice after he was arrested and charged with domestic battery.

Other state games this weekend to watch are Louisiana Tech at South Alabama, Jacksonville State at Nicholls State, Mississippi College at McNeese, Lamar at Northwestern State and UIW at Southeastern.
