If you are an Auburn and Arkansas fan, you had an intensely forgettable Saturday. Of course, Auburn survived mighty Jacksonville State -- in overtime -- with the rest of the SEC cheering on the Tigers to fall, while Arkansas comedically fell at 'home' to Toledo (2014 record: 9-4, 7-1 MAC). Elsewhere, Missouri and Florida struggled with Arkansas State and East Carolina respectively, Tennessee gave up a 17-0 lead to Oklahoma in the best atmosphere of the day in Neyland, and Les Miles was Les Miles (and LSU won despite it). Otherwise, Alabama, Georgia and Texas A&M pretty much cruised. Anyway, Read more [...]

Saturday's SEC games saw victories for all SEC schools playing - including resounding ones for Texas A&M, Auburn and Alabama in the three biggest games out there. So here are our big thoughts about the SEC's Saturday. 1. Texas A&M's performance impresses Great performance by the Aggies, who crushed Arizona State 38-17 and looked comfortable.

We'll be stunned if the stadium's sold out. Anyway, here's our previews, in terms of importance. HINT: South Carolina vs North Carolina isn't No.1 on the list. 1) AUBURN VS LOUISVILLE Trying to work out what the best game of the day was between this one and Texas Read more [...]

LSU has named Brandon Harris as the starting quarterback of Saturday's game against McNeese State. Harris and Anthony Jennings battled over QB duties during the Spring. Harris was named starting QB in the 2014 season, and struggled, ending the season going 25-45 for 452 yards, 6 TDs and 2 INTs. He also rushed for 3 TDs and 159 yards. Although the numbers weren't terrible, Harris looked out of his depth against stronger opposition, and had to be replaced by Anthony Jennings as the season wore on. Jennings struggled too. BOTTOM LINE: It's still difficult to be confident about LSU's prospects Read more [...]
