Had to hurry with the links. It's a busy day. Enjoy. I'll be back with a video this afternoon and a practice update tonight:

• Despite speculation, Jordan Jefferson is firmly entrenched as LSU's quarterback, writes James Varney of the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

• There are no plans to put backup quarterback Jarrett Lee in for particular series Saturday, writes Randy Rosetta of the Baton Rouge Advocate.

• These LSU-Auburn games always come down to the fourth quarter. That is not good for Auburn, writes Glenn Guilbeau of The Daily Advertiser.

• Left tackle Ciron Black has not had the kind of season you would expect from a preseason All-America. Coach Les Miles has his back, though, writes Guilbeau.

• LSU would love to hit the deep ball more often, writes Gary Laney of the Advocate.

• Laney writes that the spread offense is taking hold across the nation, especially so at Auburn.

• Pat Forde of ESPN gives a mid-term exam in his Forde Yard Dash. Auburn pops up a couple of times, once good and once bad.

• Kevin Scarbinsky of the Birmingham News writes that the real Gene Chizik is still standing despite two losses. He also has a list of first-year coaches. Chizik is near the top. Guess who's at the very top? Chip Kelly of Oregon at 5-1. Who would have thought that after the way the Ducks opened the season?

• ESPN.com's Chris Low gives a midseason review and then goes through the conference giving team-by-team analysis. Here's Auburn's.

• Who's the Heisman frontrunner right now? ESPN says Alabama RB Mark Ingram.

• Michael Casagrande of the Decatur Daily writes about the Heisman hype surrounding Ingram.

• Tennessee is going to give some freshmen more looks in the season's second half, writes Austin Ward of the Knoxville News Sentinel.

• Georgia Tech fans were hurt tearing down the goalposts after beating Virginia Tech last week, so now the school president is calling for a review of safety procedures, writes Kristi E. Swartz of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The Wizard of Odds has a video of the teardown process. It's impressive that the students get it out of the stadium. It makes sense. They have a bunch of engineers there.
