Here are a few things to watch in the Southeastern Conference during college footballs opening weekend.GAME OF THE WEEK: No. 11 Mississippi vs. No. 4 Florida State in Orlando, Florida. The Rebels are involved in one of the nations premier games this week, facing the Seminoles on Monday night at the Citrus Bowl. Ole Miss returns QB Chad Kelly, who threw for more than 4,000 yards last season. Florida State will counter with redshirt freshman Deondre Francois, who will be making his first career start under center. Francois will have help on offense: RB Dalvin Cook returns after running for 1,691 yards last season.MATCHUP OF THE WEEK: UCLA offensive tackle Conor McDermott vs. Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett: McDermott, a fifth-year senior, earned second-team all-Pac-12 honors last season as part of an offensive line that yielded only 14 sacks. McDermott will have his hands full Saturday lining up against Garrett, arguably the nations premier pass rusher. Garrett recorded 11 + sacks as a freshman in 2014 and followed that up by delivering 12 + sacks and 19 + tackles for loss last season.NUMBERS GAME: The SEC owns a 496-110 record and an .818 winning percentage since 2006. Thats the highest nonconference winning percentage of any league during that stretch. ... No. 5 LSU owns an FBS record 52 consecutive regular-season nonconference victories heading into Saturdays game with Wisconsin. LSU hasnt lost a regular-season nonconference game since falling 26-8 to Virginia Tech in its 2002 opener. ... No. 9 Tennessee is in the top 10 for the first time since it was ranked eighth on Oct. 29, 2006. ... Missouris visit to West Virginia marks the first time the Tigers have opened the season with a true road game since a 40-10 loss at Texas in 1996. .... No. 25 Florida has the lowest preseason ranking ever of a defending SEC East champion. Missouri was ranked 24th to start each of the last two seasons as a defending East Division champion.LONG SHOT: Wisconsin vs. No. 5 LSU: LSU should be really good this season, but its still surprising to see Wisconsin as a 10-point underdog, especially when its essentially a home game for the Badgers at Lambeau Field. LSU has one of the nations best running backs in Leonard Fournette, but needs improvement from junior quarterback Brandon Harris, who threw for 2,165 yards and 13 touchdowns last season.IMPACT PERFORMER: Georgia quarterback Jacob Eason: This true freshman from Lake Stevens, Washington, is competing with graduate student Greyson Lambert for the right to start No. 18 Georgias season opener Saturday against No. 22 North Carolina in Atlanta.

LOS ANGELES -- Rookie sensation Yasiel Puig singled home the tying and go-ahead runs in the seventh inning, Andre Ethier had a two-run double, and the Los Angeles Dodgers opened a four-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies with a 6-4 victory on Thursday night. Greinke (4-3) struck out five over seven innings and allowed four runs on 12 hits, including solo homers by Domonic Brown and Chase Utley, to help the Dodgers get their sixth straight win. The right-hander came out for a pinch-hitter in the seventh after giving up Utleys tiebreaking homer in the top of the inning. Puig was shaken up crashing into the right field auxiliary scoreboard while trying to track Utleys ninth homer in the top of the seventh that put Philadelphia ahead 4-3. However, Puig was none the worse for wear -- as he would prove moments later. The Dodgers loaded the bases in the bottom half against rookie reliever Justin De Fratus (2-2) without the benefit of a hit. A.J. Ellis walked and Juan Uribe reached on a bunt that first baseman Ryan Howard tried to field before slipping and falling on the play. Nick Punto advanced the runners with another bunt, and Hanley Ramirez drew an intentional walk while batting for Greinke. Skip Schumaker was called out on strikes for the second time, but Puig slapped an 0-2 pitch to left field to put the Dodgers ahead 5-4. The Cuban wunderkind is batting a robust .427 with seven homers and 16 RBIs in just 23 big league games. Matt Kemp, playing in his third game after missing a month with an injured right hamstring, was 2 for 4 with an RBI double. He led off the eighth with a single, then stole second and third base and scored on Ellis sacrifice fly. Kenley Jansen followed J.P. Howell and Ronald Belisario out of the bullpen and got the last three outs for his seventh save in nine chances. Phillies rookie Jonathan Pettibone threw 96 pitches through six innings and was lifted for a pinch-hitter after giving up three runs and four hits. The right-hander retired his final 15 batters, a stretch that began with a sacrifice bunt by Greinke after a leadoff single and stolen base by Punto in the second inning. Pettibone found himself trailing 3-0 after jjust 17 pitches.dddddddddddd Kemp hit an RBI double inside third base, and two more runs came in on Ethiers double off the fence in right-centre. Right fielder Delmon Young prevented another run, sprinting toward the corner and stretching out to grab Ellis extra-base bid. Young tied a career high with four hits -- all singles -- and put himself within seven of 1,000 for his career. Brown, in his first career at-bat against Greinke, put Philadelphia on the board in the second when he drove a 3-2 pitch to centre for his 21st homer and tied Colorados Carlos Gonzalez for the NL lead. Greinke then gave up a single to Young and a walk to Kevin Frandsen before picking off Young at second base. The Phillies tied it 3-all in the fifth with four consecutive one-out hits, including run-scoring singles by Utley and Jimmy Rollins -- only his second RBI in 10 games. Greinke, who hasnt committed an error in his last 87 starts, minimized the damage by turning Ryan Howards comebacker into an inning-ending double play after a visit from pitching coach Rick Honeycutt. NOTES: Former Phillies C Darren Daulton, who played for their 1983 NL championship team and spent the majority of his 15 big league seasons with them, was diagnosed with two brain tumors and will undergo surgery next week. The announcement was made Thursday in a statement by the radio station in Philadelphia that has broadcasted his program, "Talking Baseball with Dutch," for the past four years. ... Two days after UCLA captured its first College Baseball World Series title, most of the players from the team were introduced one-by-one along the first base line just before the start of the game.
