This Friday night I will attend Shaw at Vandebilt Catholic . This should be a great matchup. Vandy much improved, and will be looking to avenge last year's rout at the hands of Shaw on the west bank. Shaw lost quarterback Ramaad Robinson with an ACL , so the pressure will be heavier on outstanding Shaw defense.
Another game to look for Friday Night is East St John at Destrehan- East St John has dominated Destrehan of late (last year 42-7). But Desty will be ready, coming off a flat performance last week in a narrow win at St Amant.
2) Lots of discussion this week about what happened to LSU up at Kentucky (Cats win 43-37 in 3 overtimes) ? But, this is life in the SEC. Kentucky very good, plus LSU was coming off epic win over Florida. We'll see how much Kentucky has left in the tank this week for Florida. Home team has won last 7 in Auburn LSU series. Auburn playing much better of late. Key to this game is LSU getting in front early and taking Auburn out of game plan which is to run the football and play outstanding defense. It is obviously a formula that works. Auburn has won last 8 on the road in SEC play. And, Tommy Tuberville has won 9 of last 10 against Associated Press Top 10 teams.
3) I don't think it bodes well for the Saints to have the Falcons change quarterbacks this week. Usually a team that makes change plays better for at least a week. Remember last year? Bruce Gradkowski best game as Bucs starter was his first, against the Saints at the Superdome.
4) Tulane will be hard pressed to win more than 1 or 2 games the rest of the way. Bob Toledo has remained patient. He's refused to pull the redshirt off freshman quarterback Joe Kemp, who is apparently a very talented signal caller.
