LSU’s new look offensive line held up against a good Clemson defense on Saturday in the Fighting Tigers 17 to 10 win. Coach Brian Kelly says the addition of starting center Braelin Moore has helped that group get on the same page…
Moore has been named the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week. He helped the Tigers put up 354 total yards and maintain the ball for 37 minutes.
LSU Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier was named SEC Offensive Player of the Week. Nussmeier threw for 232 yards and a touchdown and did not turn the ball over.
One of the Saints longest tenured players, J-T Gray, has been released. Coach Kellen Moore did not provide a reason why they released their special team specialist, only to say it was a tough decision but needed to maintain roster flexibility.

The Ragin Cajuns passing game was nonexistent in a 14-to-12 loss to Rice on Saturday night. New starting quarterback Walker Howard only threw for 88 yards and he was intercepted once. Coach Michael Desormeaux says he thought they would execute much better…
Howard also left the game late with an undisclosed injury. Desormeaux says Howard is not moving well and it sounds like he’ll be questionable for Saturday night’s home game against McNeese.
ULM defensive back D’Arco Perkins-McAllister has been named Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Week. Perkins-McAllister had two sacks in the shutout win over St. Francis.
Louisiana Tech linebacker Mekhi Mason has been named Conference USA Player of the Week. He also had two sacks in the Bulldogs shutout win over Southeastern Louisiana.
