LSU and Ole Miss resume their football rivalry on Saturday afternoon in Oxford. It’s the 104th meeting alltime between the SEC West rivals. The last three games have been decided by six points or less. Last year, the Tigers beat the Rebels 10-7 and LSU’s fans stormed the field afterwards. This is a big game for Les Miles as media reports say he’s coaching for his job.

If the UL Lafayette football team wants to play in a bowl game for a fifth straight season, they’ll need to win two of its next three games to get to six wins on the year. Cajuns Coach Mark Hudspeth says they have yet to play up to their expectations this season, but hopes that starts on Saturday at home against New Mexico State….
