The Jacksonville Jaguars released veteran receiver Zay Jones on Tuesday, dumping him five days after drafting LSU's Brian Thomas Jr. with the 23rd overall pick and a day after agreeing to bring five-time Pro Bowler Jarvis Landry in for rookie minicamp. Jones was scheduled to count nearly $10.8 million against the salary cap in 2024, a significant payout for someone expected to be the team's fourth receiver at best. Jacksonville will eat $6.6 million in dead money to save $4.2 million this season
Joe Sloan has been named LSU’s offensive coordinator, while Cortez Hankton will serve as co-offensive coordinator, head coach Brian Kelly announced on Wednesday.
Line: LSU by 11 1/2 according to FanDuel Sportsbook. While both teams are out of contention in the SEC West, they are bowl-eligible and will want the best possible bid. Meanwhile, LSU has several players — QB Jayden Daniels and WRs Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas — up for major national awards and will want to showcase them in their offensive and defensive game plans.
The Tigers can reach 10 victories for a second consecutive season under Kelly by winning their final two regular season games and a bowl game. Georgia State wants a signature victory against a power conference program and the most attractive bowl bid possible. KEY MATCHUP If Georgia State wants to keep the game close, it'll have to do so with a clock-consuming running game featuring RB Marcus Carroll and QB Darren Grainger.
LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels has two chances left to show why a quarterback on a team with three losses and virtually no hope of challenging for a national title deserves the Heisman Trophy. The first of those comes Saturday night in Death Valley when the 15th-ranked Tigers (7-3, No. 15 CFP) host Georgia State (6-4). Second-year LSU coach Brian Kelly this week called Daniels “clearly a frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy,” adding, "He’s the most exciting football player individually in the country.”
Quarterback Jayden Daniels and LSU's offense have been rolling up huge numbers this season, even in defeat. The points and yards haven't come so easily for Jalen Milroe and Alabama, but the wins have been coming just the same. Daniels leads the nation's top offense into Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday night when the eighth-ranked Crimson TIde (7-1, 5-0, No. 8 CFP ) host the 13th-ranked Tigers (6-2, 4-1, No. 14 CFP).
