Merciful LSU is a team on a mission
COLUMN: The LSU Tigers are on a roll and right now it doesn’t appear anyone will stop them.
Not a dominant Alabama team. Not a ragtag group of Rebels. And not an Arkansas squad that hung 44 points on the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Saturday. (more…) (November 21, 2011, Page 1B)

Reid standing out on impressive LSU defense
There are a lot of reasons why the No. 1 ranked LSU Tigers have one of the top defenses in the Southeastern Conference and nation this year. The Tigers have a great pass rush, they’re stout against the run, they have a ball-hawking cornerback that goes by the nickname “Honey Badger” and they have a ton of overall speed.

With No. 3 LSU in Starkville tonight, now would be a good time to start.
For all the good the third-year coach has done since his arrival, Mississippi State is just 2-9 against Southeastern Conference Western Division foes — with both wins against their in-state rival. The Bulldogs are winless against Arkansas, Auburn, Alabama and LSU.

Errors cost Rebels series win at LSU
