ESPN College Gameday will be on LSU’s campus for Lane Kiffin’s debut in Tiger Stadium on September 5th when LSU hosts Clemson. GameDay will kick-off its 40th season and it will be the 500th show. It was also announced the game will kick off at 6:30. Also, the highly anticipated LSU-Ole Miss game on September 19th will kick off at 6:30.
This morning the NFL will make it official who the Saints will play in the first ever NFL game in Paris. Initial reports had New Orleans playing the Browns but reports last night surfaced that the Pittsburgh Steelers will be the opponent. The game will take place on October 25th.
Another dominating performance by former LSU star Paul Skenes, who took a no-hitter into the 7th inning. Skenes went eight innings, allowing just two hits and striking out ten in the Pirates three to one win over the Rockies. Skenes struck out the first six hitters he faced and three times he struck out the side.
