LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt is the only player in college football to have a turnover in every game this season. He leads the nation with eight interceptions and had a crucial fumble late against Kentucky. He says it’s an area he needs to improve.

Cut 17 (12) “…getting better at.”

Saints owner Gayle Benson did not pull any punches when speaking to the Greater New Orleans Quarterback Club about her team’s 1-and-4 start yesterday. She says she will not make excuses for the Saints’ recent performance.

Cut 13 (10)  “…improve this team.”

Benson says the fans deserve better, and it will take results, not words, to win back their confidence. The Black and Gold will be on the road at the Giants on Sunday.

ULM and Louisiana Tech face off Saturday in the first I-20 Rivalry clash since 2000. Warhawks coach Bryant Vincent expects an electric atmosphere in Monroe. He says Northeast Louisiana will thrive off of the conference matchup.

Cut 18 (14)  “…see this environment.”

The Warhawks are 0-and-5 while the Bulldogs are second in the Sun Belt West at 3-and-2. Tech coach Sonny Cumbie says his team knows not to underestimate ULM just because of their record.

Cut 20 (14) “…them as well.”

Kickoff in Monroe on Saturday is set for 7 p.m.
