Saints coach Kellen Moore not ready to name QB starter between Spencer Rattler, Tyler Shough: 'It's really, really close'
Only one quarterback battle remains. The Cleveland Browns named Joe Flacco their starter on Monday. The Indianapolis Colts announced Daniel Jones as theirs on Tuesday. That leaves the New Orleans Saints, who are still deciding between second-year pro Spencer Rattler and rookie Tyler Shough. Saints head coach Kellen Moore addressed the competition on Tuesday. He sounds no closer to making a decision than he was at the start of training camp. 'It's close,' Moore told reporters Tuesday. 'We look at every aspect of this quarterback situation. It's really, really close. Numbers, experience reps, everything. It's going all the way back to the start of training camp. Everything is very, very close between this group.' [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Moore's not only fielding question about the Saints quarterback from media. He says he gets them at home from his kids as well. Moore gives his kids the same answers he gives to reporters. "There's a lot of people who like to ask about the quarterbacks, my kids included," Moore said. "It's a fun conversation. "They've got advice about everything. Every bad decision, every throw, every play call. They've got it all." Who will win the job? So who's got the edge? That remains a mystery with one preseason game remaining on the schedule. Rattler's more of a known commodity. The 2024 fifth-round pick started six games as a rookie last year, completing 57% of his passes for 188.1 yards per game with four touchdowns and five interceptions — not exactly inspiring starting quarterback stuff. The Saints selected Shough in the second round of April's draft as the third quarterback off the board amid the then-uncertain future of quarterback Derek Carr. Both are now competing for the starting job following Carr's unexpected retirement due to a lingering shoulder injury. Neither has done enough to win the job while splitting starts in New Orleans' first two preseason games. How they'e looked Rattler's completed 25 of 35 passes (71.4%) for 251 yards (7.2 yards per attempt) with one touchdown and one interception. Shough's completed 24 of 34 passes (70.6%) for 231 yards (6.8 yards per attempt), also with one touchdown and one interception. Each performed better as the backup quarterback while facing defensive competition deeper on the opponents' depth charts. As for who will start in Saturday's preseason finale against the Denver Broncos? Moore wasn't even ready to announce a starter for that game. "We've got three days of practice and a game, so we've got some excellent work coming our way," Moore said. As for when he'll make a decision? Moore answered, jokingly, that it will "hopefully" come before New Orleans' Week 1 game against the Arizona Cardinaos.

Heisman heat index: Contenders, pretenders, odds before 2025 college football season
Heisman heat index: Contenders, pretenders, odds before 2025 college football season originally appeared on The Sporting News As the sun sets on calendar summer, the race for college football's greatest individual honor begins. The Heisman Trophy always demands more than production—it requires a story, a spotlight you can't escape, and a momentum that builds with every passing game. Let's meet the top ten names entering 2025, ranked not just by odds, but by narrative potential. All odds from FanDuel (8/19) and subject to change. Check out the latest here. Contenders Garrett Nussmeier, QB — LSU Odds: +900 — NCAA's top returning QB, fresh off 4,052 yards and 29 TDs. In good company joining LSU's lineage of sophomore Heisman winners like Joe Burrow and Jayden Daniels. Arch Manning, QB — Texas Odds: +700 — The most hyped quarterback in America finally earning his stripes. Less than three full games last season resulted in 939 yards and nine TDs. He also carries dual-threat upside—a meter voters love. Cade Klubnik, QB — Clemson Odds: +900 — Delivered a breakout: 3,639 passing yards, 36 TDs, plus 463 rushing yards. Rebuilt Clemson's swagger and completed the rise from 'five-star hype' to bona fide contender. Jeremiah Smith, WR — Ohio State Odds: +1,200 — Not a QB, but spent last season torching FBS defenses—1,315 yards, 15 receiving TDs, and a monster CFP showing (381 yards, 5 TDs across the bracket). Emerging as the best offensive weapon in the sport. Troy Wayrynen-Imagn Images Pretenders Dante Moore, QB — Oregon Odds: +2,500 — Jaw-droppingly talented, but nearly a year removed from inconsistent UCLA starts. Big arm and a system tailor-made for highlight reels—if he can turn flashes into consistency. Drew Allar, QB — Penn State Odds: +1,800 — A blend of size, speed, arm strength, and leadership this Heisman hopeful looks tp elevate the Nittany Lions in 2025 Scott Kinser/USA TODAY NETWORK Longshots with upside LaNorris Sellers, QB — South Carolina (+1,700) Dual-threat brute: 3,208 total yards, 25 TDs (7 rushing). Bigger, stronger—and just starting to scratch the surface. Could be a breakout force if the Heisman mold shifts this way again. DJ Lagway, QB — Florida (+2,000) Talented but raw. Started midseason as a freshman—12 TDs, 9 INTs. Looks the part; performance will dictate whether he belongs in the race. Sam Leavitt, QB — Arizona State (+2,000) No flashy tools, but elevates with big moments. ASU's playoff run shows the kind of gritty leadership that can shake up narratives. Ryan Williams, WR — Alabama (+4,000) Trailed off in 2024 but flashed early as a freshman phenom. If his consistency matches his ceiling, he has standout potential in the SEC's spotlight. Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama (+1800) Simpson may not be a household name (yet), but he has the tools to crash the Heisman conversation if Alabama gets rolling. A former five-star recruit, Simpson steps into the spotlight as the Tide look to reclaim their spot atop the SEC. Why this watch list matters Narrative momentum meets data — Manning's legacy, Nussmeier's development arc, Smith rewriting WR norms—each carries a story that transcends stats. Transfer era vs loyalty — Notably, the top three (Nussmeier, Manning, Klubnik) stayed put, defying the transfer wave that shaped recent winners. Fantasy angles meet analytics — We'll pair performance data with advanced metrics like EPA/play and passing efficiency as the season kicks. Weekly outlook Market volatility — Bettors are hedging; bookmakers keep shifting lines for Manning, Nussmeier, and Klubnik. Watch for early statement games — Week 0 already has high-profile matchups: Texas vs. Ohio State, LSU at Clemson. These performances could define the early leaderboard. Final word This isn't just a watch list—it's the opening chapter in a season-long saga. Each name brings its own mythology, hometown expectations, or redemption arc. We'll track them in stat boxes, film breakdowns, Heisman 'bubbles,' and the emotional peaks that define a season. Coach, player, or fan—everyone will anchor their story here.

LSU's Brian Kelly "bullish" on the No. 9 Tigers as he enters a pivotal 4th season
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — LSU coach Brian Kelly doesn't sound worried about managing expectations as he enters what could be a pivotal fourth season with the Tigers. Not even after a 2024 campaign in which LSU fell short of 10 victories for the first time since Kelly arrived on the bayou from Notre Dame. 'I love what I've seen about this football team and feel that's why I've been bullish on our team,' Kelly said. 'You got to go win the games and execute when you need to execute. But I like where we're at.' When Kelly was signed to a 10-year contract worth about $100 million after the 2021 season, he was expected to have LSU back in contention for national titles sooner than later. Instead, the Tigers failed to clinch a spot in college football's first 12-team playoff last season. After that, Kelly went about ramping up his program's already considerable ability to provide financial inducements to transfer players and high school recruits — starting with his own $1 million donation to the Bayou Traditions football fund. Next came a slew of signings out of the transfer portal to complement a handful of high-profile returning players — a couple of whom could have left for the NFL, but decided they were better off staying in Baton Rouge for another year. LSU has a likely Heisman Trophy candidate at quarterback in senior Garrett Nussmeier, who passed for 4,052 yards and 29 touchdown last season. On defense, they welcomed back play-making linebacker Harold Perkins, who was once widely projected to enter the draft, but decided instead to remain with the Tigers after a knee injury derailed his 2024 campaign. Kelly's compliments flow about each position group, even an offensive line that has lost four veteran starters — all of them taken in last spring's draft. 'I've coached for a long time, a lot of guys in the NFL, a lot of first-round draft picks,' Kelly said. 'I've got a pretty good eye for what an offensive line looks like. This group is going to be really good.' LSU is ranked ninth in the the preseason AP Top 25 Poll and will have a chance right out of the gate to move up. They visit No. 4 Clemson in Week 1, when LSU's Tigers will try to snap a streak of five straight season-opening losses. A better start Kelly asserted that his staff has built much of the offseason around the goal of looking sharper for a Week 1 match-up that would appear to be more formidable than any of the previous five LSU lost. 'If you're just reacting to not having a win in the opener to feeding them chicken wings instead of, you know, steak, then you're reacting in a manner that doesn't give you an opportunity to be successful,' Kelly said. 'We've addressed this in January. We addressed it with the guys that we brought in, and we addressed it in the way we trained our football team. We addressed it in spring ball and then into our offseason.' Going deepNussmeier should have no shortage of speed and talent at receiver. Chris Hilton, Zavion Thomas and Aaron Anderson are the likely starters, with Nic Anderson, Barion Brown and Kyle Parker all pushing for playing time. 'I would be less than honest if I didn't say it's as deep (a receiver group) as I've ever had,' Kelly said, adding that Hilton and Brown Speaker 'can run past anybody.' 'The real deal here is that we're going to get over the top of a lot of defenses with those two guys,' he said. Line items Kelly went to the transfer portal to help revamp his offensive line. He lured Braelin Moore from Virginia Tech to play center, while Northwestern transfer Josh Thompson is expected to play right guard. LSU's lone returning starter is left guard DJ Chester. Sophomore Tyree Adams is expected to take over at left tackle. Second-year player Weston Davis has taken most first-team snaps at right tackle, but has seen some competition from freshman Carius Curne, a top 2025 recruit who is 6-foot-5 and 320 pounds,. Adams calls Curne 'the strongest freshman I have ever seen.' Defensive presence Perkins' return gives LSU two veteran leaders and established play makers at linebacker — the other being preseason AP All-American Whit Weeks. 'Presence is impactful right there,' Kelly said. 'People talk about missing somebody. You know, it's hard to replace great players, but it's even harder to replace great leaders. And those guys lead by example and make a huge difference.' Schedule highlights In addition to the opener at Clemson, LSU's marquee match-ups include a home date with No. 15 Florida on Sept. 13; at No. 21 Mississippi on Sept. 27; No. 13 South Carolina at home on Oct. 11; No. 19 Texas A&M at home on Oct. 25; at No. 8 Alabama on Nov. 8; and No. 18 Oklahoma at home on Nov. 29. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.
