The FCS playoff bound McNeese State Cowboys, New Year's Day bowl bound LSU and the success of Southeastern was honored with special awards in the 2009 Louisiana Sports Writers Association Louisiana College football team on Thursday.

There's no national championship up for grabs and it won't even take place on the bright lights of the BCS stage, but it's tough to consider a New Year's Day matchup between Penn State and LSU anything but marquee.

Senior linebacker Harry Coleman received the Charles McClendon Award for Most Valuable Player at the team's awards banquet Sunday night.

The LSU football team entered 2009 with some unfinished business to take care of.

All I want for Christmas is a new offensive coordinator. The 2009 regular season came to an end and while LSU finished where they were predicted to finish, I believe most fans are disappointed because LSU is not playing in a BCS bowl.

Nick Saban spent most of a Sunday teleconference previewing the SEC Championship Game downplaying the monumental nature of the 1-versus-2 matchup, but couldn't escape it the whole time.

You could almost flip a coin on who's the best team in the SEC. Alabama and Florida have been dead even all season.

If ever there was a Thanksgiving feast, college football may have well delivered its greatest weekend ever to the football fanatics such as myself over the past three days.

BATON ROUGE,- LSU place-kicker Josh Jasper has been named the Southeastern Conference Special Teams Player of the Week after kicking four field goals, including the game-winner in overtime, in the Tigers' 33-30 win over Arkansas on Saturday.

Obviously, LSU learns its lessons well. As bad as the Tigers were at the end of the game last week in losing to Ole Miss 25-23, they were just as good tonight in managing the clock and driving down the field for a Josh Jasper 41-yard field goal in the final minute to tie the game and send it into overtime.

NEW ORLEANS - LSU has reported a possible NCAA violation regarding its football program to the Southeastern Conference office, LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said in a prepared statement Monday night.

Arkansas kicker Alex Tejada missed a 36 yard field goal that would have sent the game into a second overtime on Saturday, and the Razorbacks lost the Battle of the Boot to LSU 30-33. Arkansas scored first on a 47 yard field goal by Tejada, but Ryan Mallett struggled in the first half and LSU led 17-6 at halftime.

Tennessee tailback Montario Hardesty and Florida quarterback Tim Tebow were named SEC co-offensive players of the week.

BATON ROUGE - LSU free safety Chad Jones drew a personal foul penalty for allegedly leading with his helmet on a punishing hit of Arkansas receiver Joe Adams at the goal line in the fourth quarter of the Tigers' 33-30 overtime win over the Hogs on Saturday night.

This is probably the last day for a while any significant stories will be penned.

Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett was only 7-20 on pass completions in the first half of the Arkansas game against LSU.

LSU kicker Josh Jasper celebrates after his field goal gave the Tigers a 33-30 victory over Arkansas on Saturday night at Tiger Stadium.

Greetings from Tiger Stadium. This is a live blog from the Arkansas-LSU football game .
