I see a coaching staff coming apart at the seems.

Completely agree. 100% of the loss falls on the coaches. Hud failed his defensive players by not being more aggressive offensively. The OT offensive playbook should have been used all game.Quote:

Big if, but the past two games have given some encouragement on the defensive side of the ball. First time in a long time.
We MUST get a handle on the turnovers, though.
We need a handle on coaching decisions.
The problem is it's a long season and with injuries likely to happen we as what other mid majors don't have is depth on defense, so eventually we will have to win with offense.Quote:

They inserted the passing guy and he went to work. Should they have been prepared for it, yes. They didn't adjust to it (which involves coaching).Quote:

Tulane is an effing terrible team that has not learned how to run the option yet. We sold out and stopped the "makeshift" half arse attempt at an option. What our defense did do though is turn Tulane into a prolific passing team. They went from 35-50 yards a game passing to looking like Louisville, hitting us with bomb after bomb.
Our offense could've crushed them as you can see how easy it was for us to move it in the 1st qtr. What happens between our coaching staff's ears is beyond me. It's embarrassing to watch the play calling and I don't want to be seen in public wearing Cajun gear after watching our db's attempt to be ANYWHERE IN THE VACINITY OF THE THROWN BALL.
The outlook is horrible. Win that game and an eight win season looks great. Now we're lucky to win five.Quote:
