The New Orleans Saints shocked the world in Week 2. The Black and Gold went into AT&T Stadium, a place where the Dallas Cowboys won by an average of 21.5 points last season, and blew out the hosts, 44-19. This performance proved Week 1's dominant victory over the Carolina Panthers wasn't a fluke.
LSU hasn't lost in Columbia, South Carolina since 1930, even after falling behind 17-0 over the weekend. The Tigers were less than convincing in the 36-33 victory, but a win is a win in the SEC. The Bayou Bengals now welcome UCLA and South Alabama before returning to conference play in mid-October.
Fans were quick to call New Orleans' Week 1 performance a fluke, but the Black and Gold went out and defied the odds again in Week 2. The Saints were phenomenal as they demolished the Dallas Cowboys on their home turf, 44-19, to improve to 2-0. It seems the sky is the limit for this high-flying team.
