LSU put extra emphasis on beating Clemson as the Tigers desperately wanted to snap their streak of five consecutive season opening losses. They had shirts printed that said 1-and-0. Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier says it’s great to start the season off with a win, now they got to do it again…
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.

LSU hosts Louisiana Tech this Saturday. Bulldogs 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.
T-minus five days before the Saints get their season underway in the Superdome against the Arizona Cardinals. The game marks the head coaching debut of Kellen Moore, the NFL’s youngest head coach. Moore says it’s a moment that he and the entire team have worked towards all off-season long.
The Saints made a controversial roster move as special teams standout J-T Gray has been released. 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.
