Not many people are giving LSU the chance to beat top ranked Alabama on Saturday night in Tuscaloosa. The Tigers are three touchdown underdogs. Senior wide receiver DJ Chark says his teammates know they face a big challenge…:
Cut 17 (20) “after that”
Alabama has won six straight games against LSU.

Also tomorrow… in the Sun Belt, UL-Lafayette travels to face South Alabama. ULM hosts Appalachian State.

In the Southland, in-state rivals Southeastern and McNeese face off in Cowboy Stadium. Nicholls State hosts Houston Baptist.

Louisiana Tech hosts North Texas, their homecoming opponent.

The Saints look to extend their winning streak to six games on Sunday when they host NFC South rival Tampa Bay at 12:00 in the Mercedes Benz Superdome. The Bucs are 2-and-5, but New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees expects a tough game…:
Cut 19 (12) “beat them”
The Saints organization responded to the decision of veteran John Wells to refuse an award that the team gives out at every home game. Wells said he could not enter an NFL stadium because of how the league has allowed some players to sit or kneel during the national anthem. The Saints called Well’s decision “unfortunate and disappointing” in a lengthy statement released Thursday.

In big high school action last night, Sterlington got by Richwood 28-21. Bastrop was shutout by Neville 10-0. Oak Grove clobbered Cedar Creek, 42-0. And Warren Easton fell to Karr, 40-6.
