The Saints struggles continued last night as they fell to Baltimore 34-27. The defense struggled to contain Ravens running back Justin Forsett, who rushed for a career-high 182 yards and his 20-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter sent Who Dat fans home from the Superdome. Quarterback Drew Brees threw for 420 yards and three touchdown passes. But his one interception was returned 44 yards for a touchdown. New Orleans is now 4-and-7, but still tied with Atlanta for first place in the NFC South.

LSU has only a couple more days to prepare for Thursday night’s match-up against Texas A-and-M. The Tigers have won the two previous meetings against A-and-M, since the Aggies joined the Southeastern Conference.
