14th-ranked LSU and fifth-ranked Alabama face off tomorrow with their College Football Playoff hopes at stake. Bama has five key starters listed as questionable on the availability report, including dynamic wide receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams. LSU coach Lane Kiffin says the Crimson Tide offense led by sophomore quarterback Keelon Russell is still explosive and talented.
Cut 17 (13) “…played really well.”
LSU linebacker Whit Weeks remains doubtful to play. Kickoff in Tiger Stadium is at 2:30.
Will Wade’s LSU basketball team returns to action tonight against Texas Southern at 7. The ninth-ranked women’s team recorded the largest D-1 win in history with a 131-22 victory over the Tigers last night.
In college football tomorrow, Tulane hosts Tulsa at 11. ULM visits Arkansas State at 2. La Tech heads to Troy at 3, and ULL hosts South Alabama at 4.
The Saints are back after a week off to host the Browns on Sunday. Cleveland quarterback Deshaun Watson has missed two straight practices after entering concussion protocol, and sophomore Q-B Shedeur Sanders has taken the starting reps. The Saints drafted Tyler Shough over Sanders last year, and now the two could square off as starters. Head coach Kellen Moore…
Shough says he is facing the Cleveland defense, not Sanders.
The Pelicans have won four straight and will host the Minnesota Timberwolves for their first NBA Cup game of the season tonight. Minnesota is 6-and-3 on the season, even with star guard Anthony Edwards sidelined for the last five games. He is expected to miss about two months, so he will be out tonight, as will Pels center Yves Missi. Guard Jordan Poole is off the injury report after missing the last few games, and forward Trey Murphy is questionable. Tip-off in the Smoothie King Center is at 7.
