BATON ROUGE, La. Christopher Tanev Jersey . -- After severe weather gave LSU an unscheduled -- and unwanted -- weekend off, the Tigers sound eager to finally move on to Game 2 under interim coach Ed Orgeron.LSU (3-2) returns to the field against Southern Mississippi (4-2) in Death Valley on Saturday night. The Tigers will try to build on their 42-7 demolition of Missouri on Oct. 1, when Orgeron, a former defensive assistant, made his debut in his new post and new offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger introduced tweaks designed to spread out defenses and make LSUs attack more balanced.Were chomping at the bit to play, LSU fullback John David Moore said this week, in the wake of the postponement of last weekends game between the Tigers and Florida Gators in Gainesville, Florida, because of Hurricane Matthew. Non-conference or conference game, we just want to play.While LSU will now play 11 regular season games instead of 12, the Tigers were able to reschedule Florida for Nov. 19, albeit at the expense of a non-conference game against South Alabama that previously had been scheduled that day. The game against the Gators also has been moved from Gainesville, Florida, to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. But thats over a month away, and Orgeron emphasized the need to forget about Florida -- for now -- and focus on visiting Southern Miss.I know those guys are going to want to put on a good show in Louisiana, Orgeron said of the Golden Eagles. There are several players from Louisiana, several coaches from Louisiana, and I know this is a big game for them.LSU is unranked, but Southern Miss first-year coach Jay Hopson takes little comfort in that. Hopson figures the Tigers, who entered the season ranked fifth-nationally, are just a couple plays away from being unbeaten and ranked even higher. The Tigers were in game-winning field goal range late against Wisconsin, only to throw an interception. In its other loss, LSU appeared to have passed for a winning TD as time expired, only to have the play overturned on video review, when officials determined time expired before the snap.We know were playing a football team that had a close loss to Wisconsin and controversial end to Auburn, Hopson said. If they won both those games, theyd probably be ranked No. 2 or No. 3 in the nation.---Some other things to watch as the Golden Eagles visit Death Valley for just the third time in school history.FOREGOING FOURNETTE: LSU star running back Leonard Fournette has missed two games and Orgeron said he more than likely would sit out again this Saturday. Thats hardly cause for the Golden Eagles to breathe a sigh of relief. Sophomore Derrius Guice has rushed for more than 150 yards in each of his two starts, and LSU rushed for more than 400 yards without Fournette in its most recent game.UP-AND-DOWN MULLENS: Southern Miss veteran quarterback Nick Mullens has had another productive season, throwing for 1,874 yards and 16 touchdowns through six games. But hes also thrown eight interceptions after just 12 picks in 14 games last season. His completion percentage is down to 58.6 percent, down from 63 percent in 2015.EVOLVING OFFFENSE: LSU has had about three weeks to work in new wrinkles on offense that Orgeron said are designed to make the scheme more quarterback friendly, for Danny Etling, who passed for a season-high 216 yards in LSUs first game under Orgeron. First of all, its about protection. We gave up no sacks against Mizzou, Orgeron said. We want to make short, easy throws for Danny -- easy reads, give him an opportunity to do things that he does well. The things that he doesnt do well, we dont do.BRADLEYS BIG YEAR: Southern Miss nose tackle Dylan Bradley has had a breakout season, leading the team with 39 tackles, including 10 for a loss and five sacks. The 6-foot-1, 265-pounder played mostly at defensive end before moving inside under Hopson.DAUNTING DEFENSE: LSUs defense hasnt always stifled opposing offenses, but has been stingy about letting opponents into the end zone. LSU has allowed 13 field goals, but only five TDs. It would be good if we dont give up field goals, but I feel like if we give up (only) a field goal, its like winning, LSU linebacker Kendell Beckwith said.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org---AP Sports Writer David Brandt in Jackson, Mississippi contributed to this report. Igor Larionov Jersey . 31, the CFL club announced Monday. The team also has yet to decide on the future of Doug Berry, who began the season as a consultant to the head coach but took over the offensive co-ordinators duties in July. Ryan Miller Jersey .C. United of Major League Soccer. United chose the defender in the second round of the 2013 MLS re-entry draft. http:///...echer-Adidas-Jersey/ .com) - The Montreal Canadiens will try to halt their longest losing streak of the season when they host the struggling New York Islanders in tonights clash at the Bell Centre. William Pike has been described as being as reliable as a bank ATM: Back whatever he is on and collect. In Saturdays Group 1 Railway Stakes (1600m) in Perth, Western Australias premier jockey may validate the confidence of so many punters across the country yet again when he partners Perfect Reflection in the first feature of the citys Summer Racing Carnival at Perth.Now into the fourth month of the 2016-17 season, Pikes strike rate of 29.4 percent is as good as any jockey anywhere would imagine. Convert that to a run-rate and he would be knocking on the door of the Australian cricket team. For now, though, a second win in one of Perths toughest and most competitive races is where his mind is at with this $5.50 equal favourite.Im very much looking forward to riding her; she won the main lead-up race, the Lee Steere Classic [1400m, Group 2 on Nov. 5], and that was very good, Pike told ESPN of the four-year-old mares most recent performance.At the mile, I think it will be even better for her. And Ive got lucky with the [No. 2] barrier, too.The tougher Group 1 company may present another challenge, but the Grant and Alana Williams-trained mare stood up well enough to her first task at Group 3 level in Melbourne in February. Her third placing, beaten less than a length by Dont Doubt Mamma (twice a winner in Melbourne during the Spring Carnival) in The Vanity over 1400 metres at Flemington shouldnt be discounted.A blip on her record came when she finished well down the track in the Group 1 Australian Guineas (Flemington, 1600m) in March, but Pike says that it also shouldnt detract from assessing where she is currently at in her preparation.She went to Melbourne at the end of her campaign last time so it isnt fair to compare her then and now. She is a different horse now. With six Western Australian Derby trophies to his name, together with two Perth Cups, Pikes dominance of WA racing is most significantly stamped by his eight jockey premierships across the state.Pike broke a long-standing premiership record in the 2015-16 season with 118 winners in the Perth metropolitan area and more than 200 throughout Western Australia. Hes come a long way over a 16-year career, actually and figuratively.He grew up in the old gold mining town of Coolgardie, 550 kilometres east of Perth. Just as distant is his lineage to Hall of Fame jockey Jim Pike; the legendary rider of Phar Lap and a one- or two-degree relative of Williams grandfather. That association is more of a coincidence as a careeer in the racing saddle was never really on the radar for Willie. Erik Gudbranson Jersey. .Not at all. My side of the family had nothing to do with racing. Id never been to a racecourse before I came to Perth and started my riding apprenticeship, the 30-year-old said.My uncle saw that I had always liked horses having done pony club and all of that sort of stuff and one day he said I want you to come and meet this person I know, referring to trainer Jack Cockell in Mundijong, situated 90 minutes south of Perth, and who became the WA champions mentor.The winners have kept rolling in. A riding-treble at Belmont last June was followed by a sextet of victories at Kalgoorlie in September. It all adds up to a list of profitable outings that any financial adviser would be more than proud of.But does being such a punters pal add to the pressure for an athlete still well in his prime, and did the prospect of smashing the local record result from a well laid plan?It did sort of just happen but a fair way out I still had my doubts, Pike said of his much lauded previous season. You have those patches where your form isnt so good, and at one point I was worried that I wouldnt even reach 100 [winners]. Somehow is then snowballed.Then they started saying that I was a chance to break the record. I didnt think that was going to happen but then I ended up putting a good margin on it. I did sort of just happen but definitely in between there are a lot of doubts.It all came about because I was able to stay out of the Stewards Room and from the ambulance, basically.Perhaps Pikes reliability emanates more from his attitude to race riding overall rather than just singling himself as a big race performer?Ive always just gone out and done my best no matter what the race is. My preparation for this Railway coming up is no different to any other that Ive ridden in. I want to win every race I go win, but I treat it like every other race just the same.I just want to do my best. I dont feel it [pressure] but sometimes when I go out on a short-priced horse -- and you know that its short because Im on it -- I feel like I want to do well for the punters, but it doesnt always happen.This Railway is a very hard race to win even if you have a good horse, and Im still going to need luck.Good luck, too, Willie. No doubt therell be plenty of others on the other side of the fence riding with you.
