TAKEAWAYS


- What did LSU work on in the bye week? Jalen Milroe looked like prime Michael Vick.

- This offensive line got punched in the mouth once again and did not bounce back.

- LSU has been outscored 73 to 19 in the last 6 quarters. This team looks lost suddenly.

- Once again, 8-4 is a real possibility.

- You have to involve Caden Durham and Mason Taylor more often.

- LSU was outcoached in this one, and it was obvious.


AWARDS

- Offensive MVP - Kyren Lacy - Kyren plays hard from the opening snap until the final snap.

- Defensive MVP - Whit Weeks - White had 15 total tackles and was involved in a few big stops for the Tigers.


The Tigers travel to Gainesville Saturday afternoon to take on the Florida Gators. Can they snap out of it? We shall see.

Saints Postgame: Falcons Ruin The Domecoming

By Kaden Arkeder • October 6, 2026
 Saints did not show up ready to play. I believe we’ve heard that plenty of times in the Kellen Moore era. But here we are, saying it once again after a game that meant a whole lot to this city and a game the Saints needed to win to avoid a 1-3 start to their season. Unfortunately the organization from the top down played a part in this embarrassing showing. The defense, down a couple starters, played like a unit that did not want to be out on the field at times during the game. Injuries alone are not an excuse for a showing like the one the Saints defense just gave. The defense couldn’t do anything right, they couldn’t stop the run or pass all night as the Falcons just had their way all game long. Brandon Staley has been emphasizing a bend don’t break defense with this unit in his tenure but tonight the defense was completely shattered. On offense it was the same old story. Another slow start forcing the team to play from behind yet again and scoring some points late to make it seem more respectable than the game really was. The Saints cannot figure out the run game and continue to put the whole offense on Shough’s shoulders and to his credit is showing he can be a good quarterback in this league. The offensive line is a big issue and with all the investment put into the line, the production has been inexcusable. Shough took some big hits this game and will continue to do so if the Saints don’t get this operation right soon. We’ll see if the coaches can make it happen because thus far they have not been able to. Ultimately when you lose a game the way the Saints did tonight everyone in the organization from the top down played a part in this one. We’re watching a team that does not have the talent or depth to consistently make enough plays to win. Nor have they shown to have a coaching staff to make up for the roster’s shortcomings. A quarter of the way through the season and the Saints are 1-3 and looking like the expectations placed on them this offseason have been too much too soon. They’ve got time to flip the script as there is plenty of season left to be played but they need to do it fast or otherwise suffer the consequences.

Saints Pregame: Domecoming vs Falcons

Twenty years ago, the city of New Orleans was forever changed. The "Rebirth" game when the Superdome reopened after Hurricane Katrina was more than a football game already. However, when Steve Gleason blocked the first punt of the game and it was returned for a touchdown, everyone in the building knew it was over.
