The sky is falling and we will lose every game because we won last night and our offense was sloppy…. Said all of ragin paging…. Offensive line was bad in pass protection, QB play was bad, and our TE’s dropped way to many passes… with that being said our defense is legit and better than last year.

You don’t think our pass protection is a concern?

Also, there was a standard set here from ‘19-21, so I’m sure some folks are a little worried with that is being watched.

Hopefully the defense is as legit as they looked, but again, they were going against NW St. That QB of theirs could run decent, but his arm is one of the worst our defense will see all year.

Our defense is definitely better. Our LB s are tough and very fast. Our Rb s gonna inflict pain when given the chance. PERRY is a star in the making

Better than last year? Pump the brakes a little. The Cajuns played a weak team.

The digital tickets were a nightmare, I had mine in Google wallet and lady tried to scan for a while and eventually just let me in

---

Kickoff was almost 8pm with delays from injury, and tge clock stopping passing game.

The almost midnight ending wasnt due to the scheduled start.

I tried to post from the game and my phone connection wouldn't let me. Last year I had no problem.

Our OLine pass protect was indeed hot garbage last night...but to continue, post after post to toss the whole line out with the entire season in front of UL is just stupid...Like 99% of all the teams that played their first game this weekend, there a lot of work to be done, yes, starting with the OLine. It's one game out of 14, some of the RCPA need to take a
step back....if the same OL issue shows up next week and the next, then fire away. But, Pass Protect has to improve...and in a hurry..

All we heard all offseason was how improved the OL play was. That's why people are upset. Did you see all the guys running free for NSU? Their qb could not hit ANYONE.

I think what is really bothering fans is that Ulm and Texas State played better competing against D1 schools than we did against an also ran lower division school... let's hope we improve because we in for a long season if we don't. LOSING TO ULM A 2ND TIME WOULD BE DISASTROUS!!!

. . . did we win . . . did Levi Lewis play QB . . . was there a late start time followed by a delayed start because of lightning and then a 30 minute injury delay where a player was carted off . . . we can’t have nice things here, like a 1 0 record . . .

They better not lose to ULM.

Perhaps. I wouldn't mind to be honest if that means Chriss gets the keys and we're not wasting time starting another senior just because he's a senior. We have a largely young receiving corps. so it would be better next season that we play the guy that would be here the following season in order to establish some consistency.

Texas state is a bit worrisome. Happy for them. They dominated. We’ve never lost to them. I won’t be scared of them until they actually beat us.

ULM needed a miracle and they got 2 late scores to win. Army also turned it over 5 times and on 3 of their last 3 possessions. They had the game but gave it away. *See UL vs. ULM in 2022.

OL play was atrocious. QB play was poor. Too many dropped passes, some would’ve been tough catches because the pass sucked, but should’ve been caught.

Defense was lights out.

It would be even better to start playing that guy ZC now.

Defense dominated.
Offense averaged 6.1 ypc.
Dropped passes slowed the offense down.
Fumble in red zone kept NW in the game early.

Cajuns win

I agree.

One lineman with his timing off makes can make the entire line disfunction.
