We’re all set up for what should be another great game between LSU and Alabama. The Tigers are undefeated and ranked fourth, while Alabama is 7-and-1 and ranked seventh. But first the two teams will enjoy a bye week and LSU Coach Les Miles says it comes at a good time for his team…

Former Haughton high school football star, Dak Prescott, has been named SEC Offensive Player of the week. Prescott accounted for six touchdowns in Mississippi State’s win over Kentucky.

McNeese State is still undefeated on the season as the Cowboys defeated Northwestern State 47-27. Cowboys quarterback Daniel Sams had a big day as he scored five touchdowns and had 357 yards of total offense.

Grambling is still undefeated in the SWAC after beating Mississippi Valley State 49-14.

The Saints are on a bit of roll as they’ve won two in a row. New Orleans held on for a 27-21 win over Indianapolis on Sunday. Quarterback Drew Brees threw for 255 yards and one touchdown. But the biggest pass of the game was thrown by backup Luke McCown on a fake field goal. McCown’s 25-yard completion to Ben Watson set up New Orleans first touchdown of the game. Brees says it was awesome to see that trick play work…

Brees got some help from the running game. Mark Ingram rushed for 143 yards and a touchdown and Khiry Robinson ran the ball into the end zone twice.

So the Saints are now 3-4 and in third place in the NFC South. Carolina is still undefeated on the season after beating the Eagles 27-16 and Atlanta improved to 6-1 after a 10-7 win over Tennessee.
