Tigers brace for showdown against physical Alabama front seven

FRONT

LINES

BY JACOB HAMILTON @jac0b_hamilt0n Colin Jeter knows what the future holds as well as anyone.

Saturday is the senior tight end’s third time around on the front lines of the LSU-Alabama rivalry. He knows the shield and spear struggle that is to come.

“It’s going to be a juggernaut battle,” Jeter said. “It’s going to be basically a street fight. We’re going to come out, and we’re going to hit each other in the mouth.”

So what happens when an unstoppable force clad in purple and gold meets an immovable object draped in crimson?

No. 15 LSU and No. 1 Alabama battle at 7 p.m. on Saturday at Tiger Stadium in a contest that will surely be decided by dueling front lines.

“This is the No. 1 team in the country and one of the best

defenses in the country, if not the best,” Jeter said. “It’s time to test the offense for real … We’ve had a few tests but nothing that’s going to be like Alabama. It’s going to take perfect execution by all of us.”

LSU (5-2, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) resembles a freight train since Ed Orgeron took over for Les Miles, handily winning three consecutive games and imposing its will on the ground to the tune of 304 rushing yards per game set up by an enhanced passing attack.

Junior running back Leonard Fournette is back, fresh off an LSU single-game rushing record performance, coupled with the NCAA fourth-leading yards per carry rusher, sophomore running back Derrius Guice.

LSU’s back to full strength on the offensive line for the first time since Sept. 17, too.

Orgeron indicated that sophomore right tackle Toby

ALABAMA, from page 1 Weathersby would return from a high ankle sprain that has kept him out of the lineup. Sophomore left guard Will Clapp admitted that returning against Alabama (8-0, 5-0 SEC) isn’t ideal for Weathersby, but having the 6-foot5, 302 pounder back will be a substantial boost for an offensive line on the heels of a dominating rushing performance.

“We’re probably in the best shape we’ve been physically and injury-wise this Saturday night,” Orgeron said.

The unstoppable force, of course, is the same team that ended Fournette’s Heisman candidacy last season. Fournette averaged 193.1 rushing yards per game and thrice eclipsed 200 in the season’s first seven

“It wasn’t really something I was expecting, but it was a good surprise, especially since I’m at the end of my college career,” Davisson said.

Davisson also said the networking opportunity has opened many doors for her and has provided résumé experience for both work and graduate school.

games, but Alabama held the 6-foot-1, 235-pound back to 31 yards on 19 rushing attempts.

“For any player — any competitor — when stuff like that happens, it’s frustrating,” Jeter said. “But Leonard’s a tough guy.

He’s proved that his whole life … He just comes to work every day, whether he’s putting that frustration on the field, running someone over — whatever he has to do.”

The 2016 season has remained consistent for the defending national champion Crimson Tide, which Orgeron said has a defense ranking among the finest he’s ever seen.

Alabama coach Nick Saban’s squad allows a nation-leading 70.1 rushing yards per game with its physically imposing three-man front and punishing

linebackers’ signature blend of speed and power.

Junior fullback J.D. Moore recognizes that blocks won’t come as easily against a physical and technically sound Alabama front seven that holds opponents under 2.2 yards per carry and is tied for the 10th-most tackles for loss, 64, in the nation. But all-out dominating their physical specimens isn’t necessary for success, he said.

“Obviously a knockout blow is not always going to be the result of a block,” Moore said.

“We’ll take a stalemate over a knockout.”

A winning game plan requires loosening the Tide up through the air so they can’t drop a safety into the box to shut down any semblance of a rushing attack, senior center Ethan

Pocic said.

“We’re going to do some things with Leonard that he’s able to do,” Orgeron said. “Whatever happened last year is the past. We have a great game plan for Leonard. But … it’s going to be very tough moving the football on this defense.”

For Moore, a fondness for contests decided at the line of scrimmage is a fundamental characteristic of linemen and fullbacks, who relish the between-the-tackles battles in a sport that’s increasingly spreading the field and replacing big guys with speedsters.

“I don’t know what else you could ask for,” Moore said.

“There’s going to be a whole lot of emotions and motivation out there. I think we’ll be ready to go. … It’s going to be fun.”

LSU lineman suspended LSU lands at No. 13 in first after arrest in Georgia College Football Playoff ranking

BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_ LSU freshman offensive guard Donavaughn Campbell was arrested on two counts of battery and has been suspended from LSU’s team as of Tuesday afternoon, an LSU spokesman confirmed to The Daily Reveille.

Campbell was charged with battery on Sunday and was released on a $5,000 bond the same day, according to Georgia Tech Police Department arrest records.

According to the report, Campbell and Georgia Tech defensive back Jalen Johnson

were arrested at the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity House in Atlanta. A Georgia Tech Police Department officer was approached by a “group of males who were at 190 Fifth Street, NW with injuries to their faces and head stating that they had been punched by two individuals,” according to the report.

Johnson played in all eight games for Georgia Tech this season and was arrested Sunday morning on one count of simple battery, hours after Georgia Tech’s 38-35 win versus Duke on Saturday.

Johnson was also released on a $5,000 bond Sunday morning.

BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_ In the College Football Playoff’s first release of its rankings this season, LSU made the top 15.

The 12-person selection committee listed the Tigers (5-2, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) at No. 13 ahead of its meeting with topranked Alabama on Saturday at 7 p.m. at Tiger Stadium.

According to the poll, LSU’s two losses this season were against top 10 teams: a 13-18 loss against No. 9 Auburn on Sept. 24 and a 1416 loss versus No. 8 Wisconsin to open the season.

The Tigers are listed at No. 15 in the Associated Press’ poll and No. 14 in the Amway Coaches Poll.

LSU’s next four games will include three against top 15 teams, too, including its bout Saturday against the Tide.

On Nov. 19, LSU will host No. 11 Florida at Tiger Stadium and will then travel to face No. 4 Texas A&M at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas, on Nov. 24. The Tigers will also face unranked Arkansas on Nov. 12.

The selection committee, which meets each Monday and Tuesday, will issue a new top 25 each week until Selection Day on Sunday, Dec. 4.

PRACTICE REPORT Moore, Chark, Jeter return; Lindsey Scott mimicking Alabama’s Jalen Hurts

BY JOSH THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_ Preparation for No. 1 Alabama is full speed ahead for LSU. During the abbreviated media viewing period, LSU freshman quarterback Lindsey Scott was seen working as the scout team’s version of Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts. Scott was used to practice read-option play to mimic Hurts, who is known as a dual-threat quarterback.

Hurts is second on Alabama’s team in rushing with 521 yards and leads the team in rushing touchdowns. “[Alabama] has freshmen in Jalen Hurts, like defending the wildcat back there,” Orgeron said Monday at his “Lunch with Ed Orgeron” news conference. “[He’s like a] tailback back there. You have to consider him as one — one that can also throw the ball.”

Sophomore offensive tackle Toby Weathersby practiced in drills without a yellow non-contact jersey.

And in his weekly press conference, Orgeron said Weathersby could play if he has a good week of practice.

Last Wednesday, Weathersby said his ankle is — for the most part — healed, but he is continuing to rehab it.

“I still rehab three times a day.

It’s not going to stop,” Weathersby said. “Even if it’s feeling better, I’m going to continue to keep strengthening it and so I can be back to myself.”

However, sophomore offensive lineman Maea Teuhema worked with the first-team offensive line at right tackle as Weathersby rotated with Teuhema at right tackle.

Junior wide receiver D.J. Chark (finger) and senior tight end Colin Jeter (wrist) practiced Tuesday, after missing practice time during the bye week. Sophomore wide receiver Jazz Ferguson was the only absent player from practice for undisclosed, school-related reasons.

Toward the end of practice, a scuffle between sophomore nose tackle Travonte Valentine and senior offensive guard Josh Boutte occurred.

Valentine had been demoted to third string nose tackle, Orgeron said last week.

Valentine has played in five games this season and did not play in LSU’s last two games. After LSU’s 45-10 win versus Southern Miss on Oct. 15, Orgeron said Valentine did not have a good week of practice, thus leading to the end of his streak of games played.

Customers, patrons have duty to tip servers responsibly ALL’S NAIR IN LOVE AND WAR ANJANA NAIR @anjanaaanair Working in a restaurant has taught me a number of things: how to change toilet paper in bathrooms, grind burgers from scratch and keep smiling when the difficult table — who was there for three hours — doesn’t tip.

I’ve spent the last few months of my life asking myself the same question every day: Why don’t people tip? It’s a simple question.

Yet, when I ask Google, somehow the only search results that pop up are articles persuading people to stand up against tipping culture and stop tipping altogether.

Let me tell you who you’re really screwing over.

In most states, including Louisiana, servers get paid $2.13 an hour. It’s called the tipping wage.

It’s allowed to be below minimum wage to account for the fact that servers are meant to make most of

their wages from tips. That means every table, every person and every tip counts.

Most people who work in the service industry are not doing it because it’s a fun job. Especially for a college student or full-time server trying to pay bills, serving is hard work with unrecognized value. Specifically in the South, eating in restaurants and expecting hospitality with your food is a principle aspect of our culture.

Servers, like anyone else, work hard at their jobs, which often include labor-intensive work in addition to unwaveringly maintaining a sweet, engaging demeanor for hours at a time.

I never fully realized the importance of tipping until I started working in the service industry. My coworkers often work nine or 10 hour shifts and only make $30 to $40 in tips at the end of the night, and it’s simply heartbreaking.

I know one girl who has a $500 rent payment due at the end of the week, and she’s been eating

microwaveable chicken nuggets for the past two weeks because she can’t afford anything else. Another co-worker is struggling to buy a car so she can stop walking to work, but is living paycheck to paycheck. These are things that every consumer should keep in mind: taking a stand against tipping means screwing over real people with real bills.

Now, you may be thinking, “That’s not my problem, the restaurant should be paying the servers more.” Except that the federal labor law states that the minimum wage for tipped workers is mandated at $2.13 an hour. If a server does not make enough tips to equal the regular $7.25 minimum wage, then they will be compensated.

Sounds fair enough, until you realize that not all restaurants do this.

The purpose of being a server is to provide customers with great service, and they are expected to tip you in return. If not, then why would anyone choose to be a server? Why not be a hostess or a cook and make a decent hourly wage?

Similarly, if you don’t want to tip, why go out to eat and have someone wait on you hand and foot instead of making your own food at home?

What should be understood is that having money to pay for the bill is equally as important as having money to pay for a tip. If you only have money to pay for the food, then you don’t have enough money to eat out.

Some people tip based on their evaluation of the server instead of tipping based on a percentage of the bill. The problem arises when your evaluation hinges on things that are not the server’s fault. Your server is not purposely holding your food hostage in the kitchen when it takes too long. Most likely, they’re yelling at the cooks and fighting for your food to come out because they know that the longer the food takes, the less likely they are to get a sustainable tip. Your server is not responsible for catering to your individual taste palette when you don’t like your food, either. Chances are, you ordered

something you shouldn’t have, or you’re in a restaurant that doesn’t serve food you like. You chose the restaurant. You chose the food. So why shoot the messenger?

Working in the service industry can be demeaning and frustrating, especially because when you depend on tips as your income, you’re not allowed to react to rude customers. You have to develop a thick skin and constantly uphold a pleasant attitude. It’s not an easy task, but it should be worth it.

It’s hard to see your managers getting paid large sums of money and driving expensive cars while you struggle to make people understand why you deserve the extra five dollars in tips.

If you are one of those people who can’t — or won’t — understand the value of your server, here’s a gracious tip from me to you: next time, stay at home for dinner.

Anjana Nair is an 18-year-old international studies sophomore from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Planning for finances not that different from weather forecasts JAY TALKING JAY CRANFORD @hjcranford Did you know Baton Rouge is consistently one of the wettest cities in America? I’m sure you did because it rains all the time here.

After about the third time I was on campus during a thunderstorm with no umbrella, I realized I’ll just have to carry one with me at all times. It’s better to constantly carry around an umbrella than occasionally be caught in a storm without it, right?

One time, while I was walking to class, wet from the rain and listening to the squish of my socks, that thought ran through my mind.

This prompted me to think about how personal finance and weather are similar.

They both revolve around planning for variables that may never happen, though we constantly have warnings about them. For example, every day meteorologists update forecasts for when it will rain ranging from right now all the way to next week. What are the chances they accurately predict the chance of rain in one week’s time? If I had to guess, it’s

probably a percentage lower than the number of students left in Tiger Stadium after halftime — so pretty low.

Think of meteorologists as stock experts you see on the news and read about online. A quick search on any finance website will turn up dozens of opinions ranging from the market going up 100 percent in one year to full-on doomsday coming right around the corner. It’s also a well-known fact that most expert stock pickers will not outperform the market in a given year.

Does this mean we shouldn’t listen to meteorologists and stock experts? Well, sort of. The truth is we know that in the future it will either rain or it won’t, and the stock market will either go up or go down. All the predictions, percentages and future telling are just noise that will distract you from your plans.

For example, my plan every day is to attend all my classes. If it starts raining, I’m not going to skip class, even though I would like to. Instead, I will pull out my umbrella and keep walking across campus. So if rain is not going to change my plans, there’s no reason to check the forecast before I leave. It would just be

useless noise.

What I can do, however, is be aware of the worst-case scenario — rain — and then focus on what I can control to create a backup plan — carrying an umbrella.

If my financial plan is to start saving for retirement so I can retire when I’m 40 years old, I shouldn’t be concerned with trying to time the market, avoid the bad times and only invest when the market is rising. Instead, I need to lay out a plan for how to

achieve my goals, focusing on what I can control.

So for my retirement plan, I should focus on how I will cut costs to save the money I’m going to be investing for retirement.

I should also be aware that the worst-case scenario is a sudden large decline in the market. Much like rain, a market decline will happen and while we can speculate when it will, we won’t know until it’s too late. However, there are precautions you can take, such

Tigers motivated by No. 12 SEC media preseason ranking

BY SETH NIEMAN @seth_nieman When LSU coach Johnny Jones, Antonio Blakeney and Brandon Sampson returned from Southeastern Conference Media Day on Oct. 19, they knew the Tigers had something to prove.

LSU was ranked No. 12 out of the 14 teams in the SEC’s media preseason basketball rankings.

“We had an opportunity to get back and reflect on media day being picked 12th, and it’s kind of unfamiliar territory for us,” Jones said. “Those who had the privilege of a vote — we’re hoping that we’ll be able to prove them wrong.”

The Tigers finished fourth last season behind Texas A&M, Kentucky and South Carolina. LSU finished the regular season 18-13, 11-7 in the SEC, and was eliminated from the SEC Tournament after enduring a 71-38 thumping from Texas A&M. The low ranking comes after the departures of Ben Simmons, Tim Quarterman and Keith Hornsby, three of LSU’s leading scorers from last season.

So who does LSU expect to step up now?

Blakeney.

“I think it’s challenging, but

a challenge I’m willing to take,” said Blakeney, who was named to the preseason Second Team AllSEC at SEC Media Day. “It’s fun.

All the young guys looking up to me and talking to me. A lot is expected, but I just have to go out and lead by example.”

Junior guard Jalyn Patterson said while he thinks the ranking will motivate the team, he doesn’t let it affect him.

“It is kind of disrespect that they picked us 12th,” he said.

“But we’ll just have to use that as motivation and play.”

Players noticed a change of tempo in LSU’s practices following the release of the preseason poll.

“Being picked 12th is not something we expected,” Sampson said. “It is what it is. We have to play through it, and I think we’ll prove ourselves. Practice was really intense.

LSU begins its season on Nov. 7 with an exhibition match against Reinhardt University at the PMAC at 7 p.m. The Tigers begin the regular season at home on Nov. 12 against Wofford College.

“The only way you clean that up is not by talking about it, but by being about it in playing, and we have to make sure we do those things,” Jones said.
