Even though the sixth ranked LSU Tigers have a potential top ten matchup next week with Texas, Coach Ed Orgeron says they will not hold anything back when they host Georgia Southern tomorrow night in the season opener. Orgeron has said the Tigers will line up in three, four and five wide receiver sets, but they also plan to run the ball 50-percent of the time. The voice of the Tigers, Chris Blair, says it will be interesting to see how the coaches utilize the talent on offense…

Should be a great atmosphere on the ULM campus tomorrow as the Warhawks welcome in-state rival Grambling. It’s only the fourth meeting between the two teams on the gridiron. Tigers Coach Broderick Fobbs says his team is coming off an excellent preseason camp…
