The Mississippi State offense looked better than a video game, with quarterback K.J. Costello passing for an SEC-record 623 yards, to go along with five touchdowns, in Mike Leach’s air-raid offense. LSU had trouble stopping the Mississippi State offense, and the Bulldogs went to Baton Rouge and pulled out a 44-34 road win over the defending national champions. The Florida Gators showed they can score lots of points in their 51-35 win at Ole Miss, but the Gators showed they can also give up a lot of points....

The ICU nurses sent a video to News 12 Sunday showing dozens of the N95 masks, which provide the best protection against COVID-19, hanging on a clothesline in a storage closet at the Vassar Brothers Medical Center (VBMC) in Poughkeepsie.
