It came down to another late possession with the opportunity to win the game for the LSU Tigers but they came up short for the second week in a row. The Bayou Bengals have just two games left in which they need to win both for a shot at the postseason. Sitting at 4-6 after 10 games, it doesn’t look great. They get a reprieve this week with UL-Monroe coming to town.
USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll was released on Sunday. Once again there is the Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide sitting at the top. How high would Ole Miss climb after knocking off Texas A&M?
