BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU quarterback Danny Etling is challenging the 19th-ranked Tigers to get some perspective and control over their emotions.Any type of hangover from a deflating 10-0 loss to top-ranked Alabama this past weekend will damage interim coach Ed Orgerons chances of keeping his job long-term and put bowl eligibility at risk for LSU (5-3, 3-2 Southeastern Conference). The Tigers still need at least one more victory out of three remaining conference games to qualify for the postseason.Its time to move on and get ready for Arkansas, Etling said, referring to this Saturday nights opponent. Whats more fun than playing college football? Theres only so much time to put into it. I realize football is a game, but I love this game.Maybe if you dont love the game like you should, you shouldnt be on the team, Etling added sternly. If youre the right kind of person, youre competitive. Im very competitive.Only days ago, LSU was realistically in position to take control of the SEC West Division. Now, for the fifth consecutive year, there will be no appearance in the Southeastern Conference championship game for LSU, which has dropped six straight to the Crimson Tide, starting with the January 2012 BCS national championship game.But in its previous five losses to Alabama, LSU already had reached the six victory threshold for bowl eligibility. If the Tigers cant win at least one of their final three games, theyll fail to qualify for the postseason for the first time since 1999 -- the year before current Alabama coach Nick Saban began his previous college coaching job at LSU.LSUs remaining schedule is challenging, with road games against Arkansas and No. 10 Texas A&M sandwiched around a home game against No. 22 Florida.Getting to a bowl is a motivation, junior fullback John David Moore said. But, that may not be the first thing. The first thing we say may not be `we have to win to be bowl eligible. We need to win for the brothers on our team, for `coach O and for our fans.LSU has struggled the past two seasons when facing Arkansas the week after being beaten by Alabama. The Razorbacks have posted back-to-back 17-point victories against the Tigers -- 17-0 in 2014 and 31-14 in 2015. Last season, LSU dropped games to Arkansas and Ole Miss after losing to Alabama.Orgeron asserted that he bears primary responsibility for getting his players in the proper frame of mind for Saturdays game against the Hogs in Fayetteville.My job as the football coach is to have the players put (the Alabama loss) away, said Orgeron, who coached LSU to lopsided victories in its first three games following Les Miles firing in late September. All of us felt the loss (Sunday). You have to deal with the emotional letdown. We were all sick to our belly. We must respond to the first loss in our new season.Tigers senior center Ethan Pocic expects a different mindset from his teammates this week than in the past two years following losses to Alabama.There will be a lot of energy this week, Pocic said. In the past, it was not as alive. It was a little bit mopey. Coach O is big on energy, going fast and having fun. It was a hard loss, but we still have a lot to play for and he has a lot to coach for.The LSU offense gained just 125 yards and picked up six first downs while getting blanked by Alabama, which did not allow the Tigers one offensive snap inside the Crimson Tide 30-yard line. Etling remains confident that his unit will rebound in Arkansas in what is also LSUs first road game under Orgeron.I thought we were going to go in there and move the ball against Alabama, Etling said. It was a mixture of them being really talented and us not executing the game plan. We dont need to freak out. It was one game where we didnt execute. We just have to grind away and get better.---More AP college football: http://www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Shaun Hill Jersey . Louis Blues.

BARCELONA, Spain -- Pep Guardiolas decision to leave Sergio Aguero out of his Manchester City starting lineup Wednesday backfired badly in a 4-0 loss at Barcelona in the Champions League.Premier League-leading City failed to fill the void created by the absence of its top scorer. Barcelona capitalized and seized its opportunities, with Lionel Messi scoring three goals and setting up Neymar for another.The loss at Camp Nou against Guardiolas former team exposed two of the managers most important decisions as being off the mark.Agueros exclusion was tactical. But another big factor in the loss will revive doubts about getting rid of England goalkeeper Joe Hart.Despite scoring five goals in six Premier League matches and another six goals in Champions League qualifying and group phase matches this season, Aguero watched from the dugout as Barcelona took control of Group C with a commanding victory.Guardiola instead resorted to a formation he used often at Barcelona, playing without a clear striker and instead aligning Kevin De Bruyne up front as a false 9 with wingers Manuel Nolito Agudo and Raheem Sterling.It was my decision. I wanted more midfielders, said Guardiola, confiirming that Aguero was not troubled by any lingering injuries from recent international duty.ddddddddddddDe Bruyne was the only City player to occasionally threaten Barcelonas goal. His best opportunity came late with Barcelona already three goals clear, but goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen did well to stop him one-on-one.Another issue highlighted in Citys fourth consecutive game without a win was the poor form of goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.Bravo, who Guardiola pushed City to sign from Barcelona at the start of the season, was sent off in the 53rd minute after back-to-back errors. Bravo first flubbed a pass right to Barcelonas Luis Suarez and then used his hands to block his shot while outside the box, earning a red card.Guardiola acknowledged that the mistake, which occurred when his team was trailing by a goal, crushed any chances of a comeback. Even so, he defended his goalkeeper.He knows what he did, Guardiola said. He has a lot of experience. He has been one of the best goalkeepers in the world for the past 10 years. I have no doubts in him. ' ' '
