LSU’s starting left guard Paul Mubuenga (moo-BING-uh) is doubtful to play Saturday night against South Carolina due to a high ankle sprain. This could result in true freshman Carius Curne getting his first start, as he worked at left guard during spring and fall practices. Coach Brian Kelly was asked this week on when he knows an o-lineman is ready to make his first start.

Cut 18 (22) “…is catastrophic mistakes.”

Kelly said Coen Echols has been getting reps with the first team at left guard at practice.

Two starters for the Saints practiced fully yesterday after being limited on Wednesday. Looks like right guard Cesar Ruiz and safety Justin Reid will play against the Patriots.

Tough night for La Tech last night as the Bulldogs scored the first touchdown, but Kennesaw State scored the next 35 points for a 35-7 win, Tech QB Evan Bullock was just 11 of 21 for 121 yards and an interception. Owls quarterback Dexter Williams was really good, threw for 290 yards and four touchdowns.  The Bulldogs fall to 4-2.

Tulane scored two TDs in the fourth quarter to beat East Carolina 26-19. The Green Wave are 5-1.

Tomorrow, ULM is back on the road as they will face Coastal Carolina. The Warhawks are 3-2 overall, while Coastal is 2-3 and 1-1 in the Sun Belt. Coach Bryant Vincent says as they start the second half of the season, they need to move closer to playing their best football.

Cut 17 (12) “…all three phases.”

Kick off 6 p-m.
