A lot is on the line Saturday night when 8th ranked LSU meets 14th ranked Texas A&M in College Station. A win for the Tigers and they’ll have the inside track on all of the other SEC Teams in getting to the conference title game and a victory also improves their odds of making the college football playoff. But Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier says the focus is on beating the Aggies…

Cut 16 (16)   “…extracurriculars”

Nussmeier could have one of his key receivers back. Chris Hilton was a full go at practice yesterday and is listed as questionable for tomorrow night’s game, but Coach Kelly says it’s more about the conditioning than the injury.

Wide receiver Chris Olave was a full participant at practice yesterday, a good sign Olave is over his concussion and can play against the Chargers this Sunday.

ULM is about a touchdown underdog at South Alabama tomorrow. Warhawks Coach Bryant Vincent expects a close game…

Cut 19 (18) “….where we are at”
