LSU senior punter Zach Von Rosenberg was named the Ray Guy Award Punter of the Week after his impressive game against Arkansas, the award committee announced Tuesday. Von Rosenberg punted seven times in LSU's 27-24 victory in Razorback Stadium, and five of them were downed inside the 10-yard line. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound Zachary High graduate averaged 48.9 yards per punt with a long of 61 yards. This is the second time this season Von Rosenberg was named for the weekly honor. He was named Punter of the Week after LSU's 44-34 loss to Mississippi State in the season opener, when two of his seven punts were downed inside the 10 and he averaged 49.4 yards per punt. - Baton Rouge Advocate

11/26/20 - Racey McMath, Sr/2021, LSU, 6-3, 211 (DS#44 WR) + More +

Starting LSU wide receiver Racey McMath is not expected to play against Texas A&M after suffering an injury in the Tigers' 27-24 win at Arkansas on Saturday. The 6-foot-3, 224-pound senior pulled up hobbling after running a deep route in the third quarter. After laying down on the sideline and holding his left leg, McMath hopped on one leg as athletic trainers helped him to the training table. He did not return in the game. "Racey's out," LSU coach Ed Orgeron told reporters Monday. "He's very doubtful for the game."

McMath, whom Orgeron spoke highly of during the offseason, has started in all six of LSU's games this season, and he recorded his first career touchdown reception against Arkansas. The double-move in man coverage McMath used made him a wide open target for the 30-yard touchdown pass from TJ Finley, which gave LSU a 10-7 lead with 13:54 left in the second quarter. It was indicative of the kind of receiver Orgeron thought McMath could be, and, at least for this week, the offensive coaching staff will have to dig into a deep, yet young, group of receivers to replace McMath. - Baton Rouge Advocate

While Ward has had some tough moments this season, including during LSU's season-opening loss to Mississippi State, the sophomore was a big factor in the Tigers pulling out a 27-24 win over Arkansas on Saturday. With the Razorbacks in position for a potential game-winning touchdown in the final two minutes, Ward broke up a pass on a third-and-3 from LSU's 27-yard line. On the next play, Ward blocked a potential game-tying field goal to seal the win for the Tigers. - Birmingham News

11/21/20 - *Terrace Marshall Jr., Jr/2021, LSU, 6-3, 205 (DS#7 WR) + More +

Terrace Marshall wanted to speak to the team. The LSU wide receiver knows he usually doesn't say too much. Most of the time he's a silent star, a quiet pass catcher who leads the Tigers in every receiving statistical category. He also knows his silence is a strength: Whenever he does say something, his point can get across. This was his time to speak: two weeks removed from a brutal 48-11 loss at Auburn; after two bye weeks, including an extra week off after LSU had to indefinitely postpone its game against Alabama because of another coronavirus outbreak; the Monday before LSU's first game in nearly a month, a matchup against a rejuvenated Arkansas program that began the week a 1½-point favorite.

"I just wanted to play a part of my leadership role on the team," Marshall told reporters Tuesday. Marshall earned his respect on the field. His nine touchdown catches in five games puts him within the 20-touchdown, Southeastern Conference single-season record, and it's possible he collects a few other school records before this abridged, 10-game regular season is over. His production - paired with a work ethic that provoked his mother to tell him "we need to chill out" when he trained nonstop during offseason quarantine - is what gained the respect of LSU coach Ed Orgeron. - Baton Rouge Advocate

LSU wide receiver Racey McMath has accepted an invitation to the Senior Bowl, the event announced Monday evening. McMath, a 6-foot-3, 224-pound New Orleans native, is LSU's fifth-leading receiver with 11 catches for 147 yards. The senior from Edna Karr High is also a star special teams player for LSU, a gunner on the punt team who forced a fumble in the team's 45-41 loss at Missouri. - Baton Rouge Advocate

LSU linebacker Jabril Cox has accepted an invitation to the Senior Bowl, the event announced Monday evening. Cox, a 6-foot-4, 231-pound graduate transfer from North Dakota State, is LSU's third-leading tackler with 31 total tackles, adding 4½ tackles for loss and a sack. The senior from Kansas City, Missouri, returned an interception for a touchdown in LSU's season-opener against Mississippi State, and he recovered a fumble against Missouri. - Baton Rouge Advocate

11/21/20 - Racey McMath, Sr/2021, LSU, 6-3, 211 (DS#44 WR) + More +

A targeting penalty in the fourth quarter helped LSU continue its go-ahead drive, scoring with 3:59 left to dispatch Arkansas, 27-24, on Saturday. TJ Finley found Jaray Jenkins for a 13-yard touchdown to put LSU (3-3, 3-3 Southeastern Conference) ahead by three points. It was the capper to a 10-play, 67-yard drive on which Arkansas safety Jalen Catalon was flagged for a 15-yard targeting penalty and ejected.

LSU sealed the game when Jay Ward got his hands on an AJ Reed 44-yard field goal attempt with 1:24 left, the ball falling well short of the crossbar. Finley threw for 271 yards and two scores, the other in the second quarter on a 30-yard pass to Racey McMath. Arkansas (3-5, 3-5) had taken its first lead late in the third quarter when Feleipe Franks led a 5-play, 95-yard drive. Reed's 22-yard field goal early in the fourth put Arkansas ahead 24-20 ahead of Jenkins' final touchdown. Franks finished 17 of 26 for 339 yards with an interception and a touchdown. He ran for 43 yards and a touchdown, as well. Four of Franks' completions went for more than 50 yards. - LSU/AP College Football

11/03/20 - *Terrace Marshall Jr., Jr/2021, LSU, 6-3, 205 (DS#7 WR) + More +

LSU wide receiver Terrace Marshall had an uncharacteristically quiet afternoon in what turned into a 48-11 rout against Auburn. Marshall, who entered the game with 21 catches for 512 yards and 9 TDs, finished with just four receptions for 28 yards and a long of 13. The result means Marshall's school-record tying streak consecutive games with a touchdown catch ends at seven, which leaves him tied with two others for the LSU record. With two scores in last week's 52-24 blowout of South Carolina, Marshall tied the mark set by Dwayne Bowe (2005) and matched by Jarvis Landry (2012-13). Marshall entered the game against Auburn leading the Southeastern Conference with 128.0 yards receiving per game. His nine receiving touchdowns topped the league stats and was second in the FBS ranks. - Baton Rouge Advocate

11/03/20 - Liam Shanahan, rSr/2022, LSU, 6-5, 305 (DS#14 C) + More +

Do not blame LSU defensive coordinator Bo Pelini for this one. Yes, the defense allowed more than 500 yards for the third time this season as the Tigers lost 48-11 to unranked Auburn Saturday afternoon, but Pelini's unit blanked Auburn in the first quarter and kept LSU in the game into the second quarter. And, hey, that's improvement for that defense. It was LSU's offense, particularly its offensive line, that stunk like old smashed pumpkins in the sun. The Tigers mustered just 32 rushing yards on 27 carries. Tailback John Emery Jr. was LSU's leading rusher with 21 yards on nine carries. Tailback Tyrion Davis-Price, who rushed for 135 yards last week in a 52-24 win over South Carolina, gained zero on three carries. LSU's offensive line allowed four sacks and five hurries. "We got punched in the face," center Liam Shanahan said. "Absolutely killed. It stings. We got embarrassed on a national stage. We just never really got anything going through the entire game." - Daily Advertiser

11/02/20 - Jayden Daniels, rSr/2024, LSU, 6-3, 210 (DS#2 QB) + More +

Can Jayden Daniels factor into the running game more than he did last year? That should be a resounding "yes". Last year Daniel tallied 355 yards on 125 tries. His most notable scrambles were the 17-yard touchdown run in the closing seconds that gave ASU a 38-34 win over Washington State and the other a 7-yard run in the closing seconds at Michigan State that set up a game-winning 1-yard touchdown by Benjamin. But ASU ran a conservative offense because of the youth up front and didn't want Daniels taking unnecessary risks. But Daniels has progressed, the line should be better and new coordinator Zak Hill's offense is more tailored to Daniels' strengths and one of those is getting out and improvising when a play breaks down. That is a dynamic the defense is going to have to account for. - Arizona Republic

10/27/20 - Myles Brennan, rSr/2023, LSU, 6-3, 235 (DS#999 QB) + More +

If Myles Brennan is healthy Saturday, he has LSU's starting quarterback spot locked down - but if there's any measure of doubt, he's staying on the sidelines while his team plays Auburn. "If Myles is healthy, he's our first team quarterback," LSU coach Ed Orgeron said. "But I'm not putting him in if he's not 100 percent." Brennan tore his abdomen muscle when Missouri safety Tyree Gillespie collided hard with his shoulder in the first quarter of the LSU-Missouri game on Oct. 10. He played through the pain that day but did not return to practice once it was over. Even before the game against Florida was postponed, Brennan was not set to start. When LSU faced South Carolina on Oct. 24, freshman TJ Finley took the field instead of Brennan. Finley completed 17 of 21 pass attempts for 265 yards and also rushed for 24 yards. "I was so proud, so pleased with TJ's poise," Orgeron said. "He looked like a veteran out there." Despite his good game, if Brennan is ready, Finley will move to backup quarterback. This week will be all about evaluating Brennan while prepping Finley and freshman quarterback Max Johnson for the possibility Brennan isn't ready. - Montgomery Advertiser

10/27/20 - Noah Cain, rSr/2024, LSU, 5-10, 222 (DS#40 RB) + More +

Penn State running back Noah Cain will miss the rest of the season with an injury, another blow to the the 18th-ranked Nittany Lions' backfield as they prepare to face No. 3 Ohio State. Penn State coach James Franklin declined to give specifics of Cain's injury, but the sophomore left Saturday's overtime loss to Indiana early and reportedly was seen on the sideline later with a walking boot on his left leg. The loss of Cain, who ran for 443 yards and eight touchdowns last year, comes about a week after Penn State announced its leading rusher from last season, Journey Brown, could miss this entire season with an unspecified medical condition. With Brown out, Cain was expected to take on a larger role. He had one carry for 3 yards in the season opener against Indiana. Sophomore Devyn Ford ended up being Penn State's lead back against the Hoosiers, carrying 20 times for 69 yards and a touchdown. Ford scored the touchdown Indiana conceded when it was trying to get the ball back in the final two minutes of regulation. - AP College Football

In 10 games last season, Cain rushed for 443 yards on 84 attempts with eight touchdowns. He also had seven receptions for 52 yards. Ford appeared in 12 games and had 294 rushing yards on 52 attempts with three touchdowns. He also contributed five receptions for 30 yards. "Obviously, I think (running back coach Ja'Juan Seider) has done a really good job of not only recruiting but also developing at that position," Franklin said. "There's an identity and a mentality at that position...We've got a number of guys there whether you're talking about Devyn or whether you talking about, obviously, Noah Cain (who) did so many significant things for us last year." Further down the depth chart are Caziah Holmes and Keyvone Lee. "Then two guys that we're really excited about behind those guys with Caziah and Keyvone. I feel like we've got a really good group there," Franklin said. "Obviously, Keyvone and Caziah haven't done it in a collegiate setting yet. Replacing Brown won't be easy, and it appears it will take a committee to do so. "But we do feel like Noah has the ability to carry the load and feel like Devyn has a chance to do that as well," Franklin said. "We'll see how close those two young guys are ready to play based on how they prepared this week. But you'd love to get them in the game and see how they'll do in that setting. We feel very confident with Noah and feel very confident with Devyn." - Tribune Review
