Not even once have the Purple and Gold and the Maize and Blue swapped helmet paint on the gridiron.

Facing third-and-10 from Eastern Michigan’s 28-yard line, Dural found a soft spot in the Eagles’ secondary well beyond the first-down marker.
Kicker Trent Domingue stretched the LSU lead to 17-0 with a 26-yard field goal after the Tigers failed to convert a touchdown after having a first down at the Eastern Michigan 12.
LSU (3-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) is expected to beat Eastern Michigan (1-3, 0-1 Mid-American Conference) on ESPNU by 45 points or more, according to odds makers.
Miles has not had much trouble with opponents like Eastern Michigan. “There’s a very nice environment between the two schools”.
“Growing up, I always wanted to play in Sanford Stadium”, Tomlinson said Tuesday.
But worlds apart in college football. “If it’s one-on-one, he wins it 100 percent of the time”.
The three-year eligibility rule means that redshirt sophomores and true juniors are the youngest of applicants for the National Football League draft each year. There will be plenty of time to do the evaluating next year, if he plays.
This game was supposed to be an easy one for the Tigers, but Eastern Michigan hung around. The Tigers have averaged 315 yards rushing per game.
The Tigers continually took shots down the field, only for Harris to miss his targets several times. He has rushed for 631 yards in three games this season, including back-to-back 200-yard games against Auburn and Syracuse the last two weeks. The lone victory was 48-29 over Wyoming on September 12.
“The heart and passion we played with, I’ll take that every day”, Creighton said. They are surrendering 5.73 yards per play, almost twice what they allow in the first half and 88th in the FBS. “Our passing game can be as good as we want it to be”. “I’m sure when we get in Monday, the coaches will have a good correction period for us at practice”. That defense will be TRYING to stop LSU’s 7th ranked rush offense, spearheaded, of course, by Leonard Fournette.
Yes, another SEC running back on the Heisman ballot.
And in case you were wondering, Coleman has done all of that with one fewer game than his counterparts. “So our week won’t change at all”. So Eagles coach Chris Creighton hopes his team can put together its best performance of the season and stay close by sustaining long offensive drives. “That’s the main part of communication that you have to shore up first”. “We’ll reaffirm that desire to throw and catch….” Fournette has made it clear, however, that he feels another year in college would do him well in terms of mental preparation for the NFL. “We remember going back to, like, recruiting days and going to the UGA games and how fun it used to be”.

Creighton is approaching the game as Michigan would. The criteria is, who is the guy that should touch the ball the most to give us an opportunity to win the game. “Doesn’t matter who you’re playing”. The team that was previously ranked number 6 in the nation has now dropped to 6 in the SEC West and out of the top 25 after almost falling in overtime to Jacksonville State in their 2 game.
