LSU is canceling a home-and-home series against Arizona State in 2029 and 2030. The two were scheduled to square off after years of postponement, going back to Hurricane Katrina, but the Tigers have decided to drop the series as they adjust future schedules for a nine-game conference slate.

SEC teams will play their first nine-game conference schedule this year, the most ever in a single season. At SEC Football Media Days today, Commissioner Greg Sankey said the conference is the best in the nation with the toughest schedule, but the College Football Playoff Committee has not pledged to reward the challenge of an extra game.

Cut 7 (11) “…about that reality.”

Sankey also said the future of the SEC championship could be in doubt after this year.

Cut 8 (08) “…College Football Playoff.”

First-year Kentucky head coach Will Stein named former LSU offensive coordinator Joe Sloan to the same role on his new staff. The Tigers will face Sloan and the Wildcats October 10 in Lexington. Stein has high praise after a short time with his new coordinator.

Cut 21 (19) “…impressed with.”

Stein says Sloan will handle play-calling duties on Saturdays.

Former LSU receiver and Westgate High School alum Kayshon Boutte hosted a free youth football camp in his hometown of New Iberia yesterday. Boutte said he wants to prioritize giving back to his community and plans to make the camp an annual event. Now an NFL, wideout, Boutte has spent three seasons with the Patriots and helped New England to a Super Bowl appearance this year with over 500 receiving yards and six touchdowns.
