Cannizaro says sophomore left-hander Konnor Pilkington will start on the mound for the Bulldogs. Pilkington is 8-5 with a 3.56 ERA. LSU Coach Paul Mainieri has not named a starting pitcher for Game 1. That will likely happen tomorrow after Mainieri meets with reporters following the team’s Friday afternoon workout.

The numbers are out on Saints rookie cornerback Marshon Lattimore’s contract. The 11th overall pick signed a four-year deal worth 15-million dollars and he gets a nine-million dollar signing bonus. The contract also calls for a fifth-year option, which is standard for first-round picks. Offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk remains the only draft pick that has yet to sign.

Saints running back Adrian Peterson believes he can play until he’s 37 or 38 years old. He’s 32-years-old now.
