I'm hopeful that some of the young lineman like Hunt, Marks, Dotson, and Prudhomme will pick up the offense quick and become contributors.

I have not seen this bad of an Offensive Line in many, many years. They weren't ever this bad in even the Bustle years.
When Ricky son was a sr. That may be the best O line since 96Quote:

You can't run screens when the fat OL can't run; you can't stand in the pocket when the fat OL can't block quick DLinemen; you can't run the ball when the fat OL can't open holes. Not only are they overweight, they don't look very strong either. Our strength and conditioning coach needs to do a better job too!
Our program just looks soft and that's not the way Hud started out. Where are the 60# back packs and gas masks? We lost the two games before this embarrassment in the 4th quarter and that usually means the other team was in better condition. I can understand being out-coached and out-schemed much easier than being out conditioned. I mean you can be a poor X&O guy and lack creativity, but there's no reason your players shouldn't be in top shape. That's all on the coaches.
I don't know about all the bustle years I just remember when I began following the Cajuns again when daughter was in band in 2010 that the line was awful. I couldn't believe how bad they were. This year may be just as bad.
I think that injury did more damage to this team than anything else.Quote:

My thoughts exactly. Haven't seen them running the stadium steps lugging around 60 lbs of sand like they did in past.Quote:

Is that still legal. Risking life and limb
I agree with that, he was our best, hard guy to lose and of course he couldn't be replaced.Quote:

Lets save this post. No way this happens.Quote:

In post game Hud admitted this is the second year in a row he was outreached by App State as far as protecting our quarterbacks. He said that and a lot of other interesting introspective things.
He indicated it was not a staff problem, but he and they needed to rededicate, and rethink what they are doing. He said you tweak things until you cannot recognize who you are from who you want to be.
IMO this was the most candid Hud's been in any interview.

Where is this interview? Glad he said it though.Quote:
