What a start to the season for the Saints as they scored a franchise record 47 points in a season opener and crushed NFC South rival Carolina 47 to 10. Quarterback Derek Carr threw three touchdown passes and the offense scored on its first nine possessions. Alvin Kamara rushed for 83 yards and a score. A-K says they did a great job of executing new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak’s offense

Cut 19 (13) “….worried about so” 

The Saints will face a tougher test this Sunday when they visit the Cowboys in Arlington, Texas. Dallas had a convincing 33-17 win over Cleveland yesterday.

In his first NFL game, Jayden Daniels rushed for two touchdowns but the Commanders still lost to the Buccaneers 37-20. Washington released former kicker Cade York, who missed two field goals.

In LSU’s 44-21 win over Nicholls, the Tigers only ran it 21 times for 68 yards. Coach Brian Kelly said they ended up changing out of a lot of run plays at the line of scrimmage, because Nicholls had more defenders near the line of scrimmage than they could block. Kelly still has faith in his ground game and if the Gamecocks this Saturday try to defend the pass, they’ll hit them with run…

The Tigers are at South Carolina this Saturday. The Gamecocks have played well on defense through two games.

ULM is off to a 2-and-0 start after a dominating 32-6 win over the UAB Blazers.

Coach Bryant Vincent says they beat UAB in every phase…

Cut  16 (14)   “…more discpline.”

ULM is off this Saturday and on September 21st they’ll visit second ranked Texas.

It was an absolutely dominating performance by the Saints yesterday as New Orleans crushed the Carolina Panthers 47 to 10.

Carr threw three touchdown passes. Alvin Kamara also had a rushing touchdown. The defense had four sacks and three turnovers. Coach Dennis Allen was not pleased with the ten penalties, but he’ll take the win…

The Saints will visit the Cowboys in Dallas next Sunday. Former Haughton High star Dak Prescott threw for 179 yards and a touchdown after agreeing to a four-year 240-million dollar contract prior to kickoff. Dallas defeated Cleveland 33 to 17.

It was a lot closer than expected; but nonetheless, LSU earned its first victory of 2024 by beating Nicholls, 44-21 on Saturday. Nicholls actually pulled to within two early in the third quarter on a 67-yard touchdown run by Colin Guggenheim, but the Colonels would get no closer. The Tigers scored 21 unanswered points to put the game away. After the game, LSU Head Coach Brian Kelly said the short week exposed some flaws in the team’s game.

Cut 17 (17) “…a long week.”

LSU will now get ready for the SEC opener this Saturday at South Carolina. They also have to prepare for playing without their best defensive tackle, Jacobian Guillory is done for the season with a torn achilles tendon.

After a tough loss to USC, 18th ranked LSU will host Nicholls State in its home opener on Saturday night. Tight end Mason Taylor says it’s important to not let one loss derail their season as they can still play for an SEC Championship or get in the 12-team playoff…

Cut  16 (13)   “…for the challenge.”

The season ending injury to LSU running back John Emery has resulted in the Tigers coaching staff moving freshman JuJuan Johnson from safety to running back. Johnson was Louisiana’s Mr. Football in 2023 as he finished off a legendary career at Lafayette Christian.
