Flying Into the Great Unknown
January 17th, 2013
Speaking of playoff surprises, how about that scoring binge last week? With combined point totals of 58, 69, 73 and 76 points, all four games easily soared “over” the total.

LSU Heads List of Bowl-Season Moneymakers
Unlike Nevada, look for Tigers to finish the job against Clemson in Chick-fil-A Bowl
December 20th, 2012
Unfortunately for Clemson, motivation is the only edge it has against LSU in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.
