GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Rescheduling the LSU-Florida game might not be as easy as it seems for the Southeastern Conference.The SEC postponed the game scheduled for Saturday because of Hurricane Matthew, which was bearing down Thursday on Floridas east coast. The league said it will work with both universities to reschedule the game later in the season, if possible.The schools have different opinions on how it should be handled, and ultimately the league will decide.The 18th-ranked Gators (4-1, 2-1 SEC) ideally would like to play the game Nov. 19 in Gainesville, a scenario that doesnt seem very attractive for the Tigers.Florida and LSU each play nonconference games at home that Saturday and would need to buy out those opponents, South Alabama for the Tigers and Presbyterian for the Gators. LSU (3-2, 2-1) would be on the hook for $1.5 million to South Alabama, and Florida would have to pay $500,000 to Presbyterian of the Football Championship Subdivision.Doing that would mean the Tigers would end the regular season with three consecutive road games -- against Arkansas (Nov. 12), Florida (Nov. 19) and Texas A&M (Nov. 24).We told the league were 100 percent committed to whatever scenario they can come up with, Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley said. Certainly we dont have a consistent open date. ... Its not as easy sometimes as it seems and involves other games, it involves other teams, it involves television contracts, whatever have you.Whatever scenario they come up with, were going to be in favor of. We want to play the football game.LSU would rather not play three straight league games on the road, especially considering the last one, against the Aggies, is during a shortened week. It also would mean giving up a home game and losing revenue for the school and the city.I havent come to a decision on that yet, but it would be pretty damn tough to play on the 19th and then play A&M on Thursday, so Ive got to do whats in the best interest of the team, LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said.The Tigers are likely to push for a cancellation of the game.The SEC has an insurance policy that covers lost game revenue for all 14 schools, but its unclear how much it would cover in this scenario.Theres insurance and scenarios and TV and all those type of things, Foley said. Thats why it will be handled in the league. The money is not an issue. Can it be worked out? Those are conversations that you probably need to hold with the Southeastern Conference. If it can be worked out, well be thrilled, excited and ready to play that football game and I know our fans will be, too.LSU offered to host the game in Baton Rouge on Sunday or fly in and out of Gainesville that day, but Foley said it would be almost impossible to accommodate that request.To try to put a road trip together of 150-plus people in a day and half, not knowing the condition of the roads, not knowing the conditions of the airports, trying to get equipment out there, Foley said. Again, not in the best interest of safety, not in the best interest of people that would be involved in that trip. ... People in this state may be dealing with stuff that is far more significant, far more serious. So that really didnt work, either.I really understand the interest in the game, peoples desire to play the game. At the end of the day, we make these decisions based on what matters, and peoples safety is what matters. Thats why the decision was made as it did. It took as long as it did because a lot of moving parts.The biggest question surrounding the game if its not made up would be how it affects the SEC standings. If either team wins out, there could be potential ramifications for Auburn, Tennessee and maybe others. The SEC said Thursday that a team that finishes 6-1 in league play would go to the conference title game over a 6-2 team even if the 6-2 won a head-to-head matchup.They have to play that football game, Volunteers coach Butch Jones said. I know the SEC will do the right thing.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Delino DeShields Jr. Jersey .

Joey Gallo Jersey . - After leading the Saints to a fourth playoff appearance in five seasons, Drew Brees expressed confidence in the direction of his team and, perhaps more importantly, showed a willingness to listen to contract proposals if the team needs his help getting under the NFLs salary cap. Balmain great Tim Brasher has backed Jarryd Hayne for the NSW fullback spot ahead of James Tedesco despite the Wests Tigers star impressing in the No.1 jersey this year.Gold Coasts Hayne has missed the last two State of Origin series to pursue his NFL dream, but former Blues custodian Brashers preference is for him at fullback, with Tedesco slotted in either on the wing, at centre or on the bench.If Haynes playing great footy, hes got to get the spot, Brasher told AAP.Hes the best weve got at his best.But I think you have to find a spot for Tedesco. Hed be great in the squad either way.Brasher said the 23-year-old Tedesco, who debuted for the Blues this year, needed an injury-free NRL season after his season was cut short when he missed the ninth-placed Tigers finals push with a broken jaw.It was the most recent of a string of frustrating setbacks during his five-year career.His problem is going to be staying on the field, Brasher said.When hes playing hes fantastic. Hes one of the best out there.But his big thing is being consistent and staying injury-freee.dddddddddddd If he does that, I think hell be good enough to make the Origin team no matter where they put him.As for the Tigers, former star Brasher said their best chance in 2017 was to sneak into the eight and give it a shake in the finals.He predicted the clubs off-contract stars including Aaron Woods, Mitchell Moses and Luke Brooks would remain at the club as they push for a premiership in coming years.Theyre mature enough to start being a force but they still have that odd game where things dont go right at all, Brasher said from the Jack Newton Classic in the Hunter Valley.What those guys do have is a bond and theyll take a little bit less to stay together.But, in saying that, when it comes to it, youve got a short time in rugby league and no one can begrudge anyone for getting what theyre worth.He also defended the signing of former Penrith centre Jamal Idris, who took a years break from the game, as a calculated risk.
