Sorry we’re rnning a bit late today. Woke up with a headache and by 5:00 it was a skull-crushing migraine. Anyway, better belated than never.

Three things to know about the LSU-Alabama tilt. One, if it comes to a close game, LSU has the best placekicker in the country by a pretty wide margin.

In addition to a stout defense, Cole Tracy has emerged as one of college football’s top placekickers.

The transfer from Assumption College has banged home 21 of his 23 field goal attempts and has successfully converted all of his kicks inside 50 yards including his 42-yard game winner at Auburn.
