You could not have dreamed of a better start to the season for the Saints as New Orleans is 2-0 after clobbering the Cowboys 44 to 19 yesterday to end Dallas 16-game home winning streak in the regular season. Alvin Kamara scored four touchdowns and had 180 all-purpose yards and the Saints as a team rushed for 190 yards.

Derek Carr is off to a fantastic start as he threw for 243 yards and two touchdown passes. Coach Dennis Allen says the running game has taken a load off of Carr…

Cut 17 (15) “…of protecting him”

The defense intercepted Dak Prescott twice and held Dallas to 68 rushing yards.

The Saints will return home to host the Eagles this Sunday. Philadelphia hosts Atlanta tonight. Also in the NFC South, Tampa is 2-0 after beating the Lions in Detroit 20-16 and Carolina lost again, falling to the Chargers 26-3.

The LSU Tigers won a crazy game in Columbia, South Carolina, rallying back from a 17-0 deficit to beat the Gamecocks 36 to 33. The Tigers gave up two long rushing touchdowns, LSU had special teams miscues and Garrett Nussmeier threw an interception in the fourth quarter. But Nussmeier also led LSU on two fourth-quarter scoring drives. Coach Brian Kelly…

Cut 18 (20)  “…really good team.”

Louisiana Tech was outscored 24 to 3 in the second half and lost to North Carolina State 30 to 20. Jack Turner threw for 281 yards and Tru Edwards caught four passes for 148 yards and a touchdown, but the Bulldogs rushed for just 43 yards.

McNeese scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to beat Stephen F Austin 28 to 24, Southeastern Louisiana beat Eastern Washington by that same score and Grambling over Texas A-and-M Commerce in overtime 35 to 28. Former LSU running back Tre Bradford had two rushing touchdowns, including the game-winner.
