A handful of Saints players chose to sit during the national anthem on Sunday before the game against the Panthers, and some fans are so upset they say they are boycotting the team and burning memorabilia. President Trump said the NFL should fire players who protest during the national anthem. Quarterback Drew Brees disagrees with Mr. Trump saying he believes it’s unbecoming of the office of President to say such things.

Meanwhile the The Saints put together one of their better performances in a long time as they defeated NFC South rival Carolina 34-13. Coach Sean Payton says the Black and Gold had a good week of practice and it showed in their performance on Sunday…:
Cut 18 (13) “get a win”
Brees threw three touchdown passes and the defense forced three turnovers and held a struggling Panthers offense to 288 total yards.

So does LSU have a quarterback controversy? Starter Danny Etling was 10-of-17 for 188 yards and two touchdowns, but freshman Myles Brennan entered the game in the third and led the Tigers on a touchdown drive, but he also threw an interception.

Cut 16 (16) “on the line”
The two quarterbacks did enough good things to help the Tigers beat Syracuse 35-26, as LSU improved to 3-1.

In the Sun Belt, ULM Quarterback Caleb Evans accounted for 472 total yards and six touchdowns to lead the Warhawks to a 56-50 double overtime win over UL-Lafayette.
