| Jayden Daniels is ready for his closeup? The LSU quarterback has had a stellar season to date, ranking among the nation's statistical leaders in a host of offensive categories and making himself into a prime Heisman Trophy contender. But Saturday's game at Alabama is where Daniels' Heisman candidacy is likely to flourish or perish. He needs to have an imagination-grabbing performance to wow the voters. Winning the game wouldn't hurt anything, either. Meanwhile, Alabama will have the unenviable task of trying to slow down Daniels and the LSU offense, which leads the nation in scroing and yards per game. How could Bama manage it? It will be harder than making CBS announce Gary Danielson likeable. Bad news for the LSU men's basketball team, as point guard Jalen Cook's second time transfer from Tulane was denied by the NCAA. Good news meanwhile for the LSU women's team, which dusted Loyola of New Orleans 121-36 at the PMAC. The No. 1-ranked Tigers open the regular season Monday in Las Vegas against Colorado. Here are the top five games in college football on Saturday. One guess if one of those is LSU-Alabama. Well, that's a wrap. Thanks for subscribing and reading and for keeping the place looking so nice. Until next time, Scott Rabalais |
