Two quarterbacks have announced their departure from ULM. Warhawks backup QB Garrett Smith said through Twitter that he was transferring, and with another year of eligibility he’ll likely seek another opportunity. Smith lost the starting gig last year to Caleb Evans. Shortly after Smith’s announcement, third string QB Will Collins also said he’d be leaving ULM. He didn’t play at all this season.

KLFY in Acadiana is reporting that those in the running to replace outgoing Ragin Cajuns Head Coach Mark Hudspeth include LSU Offensive Coordinator Matt Canada, former Florida OC Doug Nussmeier and Penn State Defensive Coordinator Brent Pry.

There’s possibly a shakeup taking place in Louisiana Tech’s Bowl game. Multiple reports indicate Arkansas has hired SMU head coach Chad Morris. He just finished his third year as the Mustangs’ leader, finishing 7-5 on the season and earning a bowl bid against the Bulldogs in the Frisco Bowl. This hire could mean Morris won’t coach SMU in the game.

There has been a lot of buzz over the Instagram post by LSU star running back Derrius Guice which says he will decide whether to enter the draft after the Citrus Bowl against Notre Dame. The junior is expected to be selected in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft if he leaves early. Tiger Rag Associate Editor James Moran says he would be shocked if Guice stayed another year..:
Cut 16 (16) “draft stock”
Guice says he is fulling healthy now, but nobody wants to play injured.

The Saints normally don’t practice on Tuesday, but they are on a short week as they next play the Falcons tomorrow night. With little recovery time, the injury list has grown. Running back Mark Ingram and Offensive Lineman Andrus Peat did not suit up yesterday. Cornerback Marshon Lattimore was limited.
