LSU GAME PUT ON HOLD
Hurricane Gustav left many on the Gulf Coast in need, and it also threw off many events throughout the area. One such event was the Louisiana State University football game against Troy University, which was supposed to be held in Baton Rouge on Saturday. LSU's Tiger Stadium was damaged and Baton Rouge was battered, causing problems that would have made playing extremely difficult. Both LSU and Troy had an open date on Nov. 15, so the decision to postpone the game until then was an easy one. After the Tigers' week off, they will face North Texas on Sept. 13.

MORENO RUNS WILD
Georgia running back Knowshon Moreno ran for a career-high-tying three touchdowns against Central Michigan on Saturday, as the No. 2 Bulldogs cruised to a 56-17 victory. The Heisman Trophy candidate also caught three passes for 30 yards and ran for 168 yards, led by one touchdown rush of 52 yards. Further cementing himself as one of the elite running backs in the country, Moreno now has six touchdowns in two games. The red-shirt sophomore had over 1,300 yards rushing during his freshman season, and is leading the No. 2-ranked Bulldogs, one of the favorites to win the national championship this season.

OLE MISS SNATCHES DEFEAT FROM THE JAWS OF VICTORY
Traveling to 20th-ranked Wake Forest, Mississippi was hoping to compete, and with one minute remaining they had the game all but won. After a wild, scrambling touchdown pass by the Rebels' Jevan Snead put the Demon Deacons behind 28-27, all Mississippi had to do was keep Wake Forest from getting the ball into field goal position. After a few short passes the Demon Deacons were close to striking territory, but still too far away for a potentially game-winning field goal. A deep pass from Wake Forest quarterback Riley Skinner fell incomplete, but flags flew as Ole Miss' Marshay Green was called for pass interference. This gave the Demon Deacons the yards they needed to get close enough for the victory-clinching field goal by Sam Swank.
