BATON ROUGE, La. -- The 20th-ranked LSU Tigers are about to get a better idea of how concerned they should be about their quarterback play.Danny Etling restored a measure of hope to the Death Valley faithful when he relieved season-opening starter Brandon Harris and produced three straight touchdown drives in a victory over Jacksonville State last weekend. Hes bound to get a tougher test on Saturday night when LSU (1-1) opens Southeastern Conference play by hosting Mississippi State (1-1, 1-0).LSU coach Les Miles said his goals this week have included exposing Etling to the things we need to have him do and allow him to show us that he can continue to do what hes done.But with much still unknown about what Etling can do in SEC play, Miles has been careful not to marginalize Harris, who spent all of last season as the starter and took first-team snaps throughout spring practice and preseason camp in August.His talents and abilities need to be prepared to go into the game and play significant snaps, Miles said of Harris. We certainly have visited with him and would think that he understands his role.Etling completed six of his first eight passes for 100 yards, including a 46-yard touchdown strike, but finished 6-of-14 after missing on all six of his second-half passes with two turnovers -- an interception and fumble.Mississippi State, which labored through a stunning, season-opening loss to South Alabama, rebounded with a 27-14 win in their SEC opener against South Carolina last weekend. That victory gave the Bulldogs more confidence in sophomore quarterback, Nick Fitzgerald, who can give defenses fits with his feet.Fitzgeralds 195 yards rushing against the Gamecocks set a school record and brought about comparisons to former Bulldogs star QB Dak Prescott.Hes faster than Dak and a little bit more explosive than Dak with the ball in his hands, Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen said. I dont know if hes as physical as Dak was. Its a little different style of running.---Some other things to know about the Mississippi State-LSU matchup on Saturday:JEFFERSONS SURGE: Mississippi State defensive lineman A.J. Jefferson leads the SEC with six tackles for a loss and is tied for the league lead with three sacks through two games. The 6-foot-3, 280-pound senior had a breakout season in 2015 with 13+ tackles for a loss and five sacks, but might dwarf those numbers this fall. Hes a hard worker, Mullen said of Jefferson. Maybe hes not one of the freakier athletes that people have in the league. He kind of got it done through development and hard work.FOURNETTES FATE: LSU star running back Leonard Fournette, who sat out last weekends victory to rest his bruised left ankle, is expected to be in uniform. Fournette gained 138 yards in LSUs season opening loss to Wisconsin, but might have a lessened workload if he plays against MSU. Miles said LSU coaches are aware of Fournettes tender ankle. LSU has that luxury. Fournettes backup, sophomore Derrius Guice, rushed for 155 yards in his first career start last weekend.BEHIND THE LINE: Mississippi States defense has 22 tackles for a loss already this season, which ranks first in the SEC and third nationally. The Bulldogs had 11 TFLs against both South Alabama and South Carolina. Theyve also allowed a mere 60 net yards rushing per game. If you are not careful, Mississippi State will eat your lunch, LSU fullback J.D. Moore said. They are built to stop the run.WHITES RETURN: LSU cornerback TreDavious Whites decision not to turn pro and return for his senior season is already paying big dividends for the Tigers. White has scored a touchdown each on defense (interception return) and special teams (punt return).BOUTTES BACK: LSU starting guard Josh Boutte has returned from a one-game suspension stemming from his flagrant foul late in LSUs loss to Wisconsin. Miles said he hopes Boutte solidifies an offensive line that played well in last weekends win.---AP Sports Writer David Brandt in Starkville, Mississippi, contributed to this report.---AP College Football: collegefootball.ap.org Nike Air Force 1 Outlet .

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions didnt even play last weekend and still made progress. A loss by Minnesota left the Lions tied with the Vikings for first place in the NFC North.That hardly registered with coach Jim Caldwell.It doesnt affect us, positive or negative, Caldwell said Monday after his team came off its bye week. Were focusing on the next game.That next game is Sunday at home against Jacksonville. The struggling Jaguars (2-7) have lost four in a row, but Caldwell insisted they present plenty to worry about.Theyve got a fair amount of high draft picks on this team who are very capable players, Caldwell said. Theyve done a lot of good things.Theyre getting 4.2 (yards rushing) per carry, which is where wed like to be, he added. (Allen) Robinson catches the ball well. He has 48 catches and they have four more guys with at least 25 catches. They have two backs as good as any you can see and they have defensive guys who can run and hit. Thats going to be a problem. So weve got to be ready.Monday marked the first time the Lions had met the media since Donald Trump was elected president. When asked about it, Caldwell initially tried to deflect the question.I try to use this platform for what its meant for, and thats to talk about my team, he said. Leadership is important. I do know that. Had I voiced the same opinions as some of our candidates, I wouldnt have this job five minutees after I walked off this stage.dddddddddddd Some of you as well. But yet the person has become the leader of the free world. So again, a different time and place, and Im moving forward.Offensive lineman Larry Warford said that, while Lions players did discuss the election, they kept it light.Guys have been giving it jokingly, he said, like anyone would about (Trump) winning, and a lot of conversations have come up and good talk, but its not like its unruly in here. Life goes on.Its that focus, special teams player Brandon Copeland said, that has helped lift the team to first place after a 1/3 start.Its nice to come off your bye week in contention, he said. But we also know that if we dont continue to do what weve done and win games, it doesnt mean anything. Not to go back to last year, but being 1-7, the only way we get to 7-9 was by focusing on one game at a time. Its nothing new or different to us. Its how weve been trained and how well continue to attack it.Game notes Caldwell said he did get away to spend time with his three grandchildren during the bye. My time with them is important, and I dont get enough of it, he said. Theyre growing up quickly. He also watched college football. I watched as much as I could, he said. Theres always something to learn. ' ' '
