With all things being equal, at worst Dez should have beaten out Leonard, but the real travesty here is Fenroy not getting it.

194 Yards Rushing
68 Yards Recieving
3 TD's Scored

My choice for POW:
1a. Tyrell Fenroy
1b. Michael Desormeaux
3. Corey Leonard _

Leonard had 3 passing TD's and 0 rushing TD's...I honestly think this was a pretty close call between all 3. I went and looked at the #'s and if you look deeper than just individual #'s you will see that Leonard did more for his team than our 2 did because he accounted for most of his teams production. Not saying he should of gotten it over our guys but it is not as bias as what everyone is making it out to be. Guys just chill, its just a player of the week and in the long run it means absolutely nothing.

To me the band name means alot to the people in it now and in the past. We live in a very specific part of the state. I dont claim monroe to be apart of Louisiana, although technically it is. Taking pride in our part of our state is a wonderous thing that no one can take away from us.

If we're all about pride in just the Acadiana area, then we should NOT be the University of LOUISIANA. If that is our mindset, then we will ALWAYS be Louisiana-Lafayette. If we want to be UL, then we need to reach out to all parts of the state, not just the local area. I am not suggesting that we abandon our roots and forget that we are located in Lafayette and Acadiana. But if we want to progress, then we need to move on to reflect the changes in our university. I agree with HoustonCajun, we need to tie as many things as we can to Louisiana to reinforce the connection. JMHO

&nbsp; The Cajuns hope to continue their excellent defensive play from the past two weeks

Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns started their game-week on Sunday less than 24 hours after earning a 44-27 win over Kent State. The Cajuns had that extra bounce in their step typical of a team fresh off a victory.

Following Monday’s off-day, the team continued practice on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Cajuns will practice on Thursday before departing via charter flight on Friday afternoon for Manhattan, Kansas.

<blockquote><p align=justify>
&nbsp; <b>Five questions for linebackers coach Tim Rebowe...</b>

<b>Q:</b> How did practice go this week?

<b>Rebowe:</b> "The guys were in a great mood on Sunday. A win always gets your spirits up. It was a physical game (on Saturday) and some guys were banged up. The victory eases the pains a little more. We had a good Tuesday working on the run. (Wednesday) was a big work day against the pass.”

<b>Q:</b> What’s the scouting report on Kansas State?

<b> Rebowe:</b> "They are big. Their front line is big at 6-5, 6-6. There is a lot of beef and they are going to be very physical. They score a lot of points and the challenge will be to slow them down.”

<b>Q:</b> How do the Cajuns slow down the Kansas State offense?

<b> Rebowe:</b> "It goes back to what Coach Bustle has been saying for weeks. We need to focus on us and worry about what we do. It’s paid off the last couple of weeks and we’re playing better.”

<b>Q:</b> What changed in practice from the week of Southern Miss to the last couple of weeks?

<b> Rebowe:</b> "I thought we had a great camp. It was one of the better ones that I’ve been around, but then we came out and had a bad week of practice before the Southern Miss game. The open week helped us refocus and get that attitude back that we had in camp. We knew that we were better than we showed (at USM). The guys realized that you have to be great all week in practice to have a chance on Saturday.”

<b>Q:</b> Saturday’s game at Kansas State is another early game with the 2:35pm start?

<b> Rebowe:</b> “The guys handled the early game at Illinois very well. It was a little chaotic traveling up there, but they handled it well. Some guys said that they liked playing early because we didn’t have to sit around all day. They liked getting up and going to play.”

<blockquote><p align=justify>
&nbsp;Nearly two months of waiting finally came to an end on Wednesday for Undrea Sails. Now the junior running back can officially call himself a Ragin' Cajun.

Sails participated in Wednesday's practice after learning earlier in the day that his final course from College of the Desert in California had been processed.

The Alabama native had been waiting to play since arriving on campus in the first week of preseason camp. Sails is expected to fight for playing time behind starter Tyrell Fenroy.

"I've been waiting for this," UL coach Rickey Bustle said, with a grin. "I thought we were going to get it done yesterday.

"But everything was done today, so he's cleared and eligible."

Sails had a class Wednesday night and was unavailable for comment.

With redshirt freshman Julian Shankle still hobbled by an ankle injury, Bustle plans on taking Sails and redshirt freshman Yobes Walker to Saturday's 2:35 p.m. game at Kansas State. Junior Matt Dupre is expected to join Fenroy, Sails and Walker as the running backs to make the trip.

Sails accounted for 11 touchdowns last season and rushed for 639 yards on 119 carries as College of the Desert went 9-1. The 5-foot-8, 200-pounder averaged 71 rushing yards per game - the fifth-best mark in the Foothill Conference.

While Bustle expects Sails to play this weekend, Walker is far from a lock to see game time this season. Cajun coaches had hoped to redshirt him with Fenroy being a senior, but Walker joined the varsity team this week after doing scout work because of Shankle's injury.

The 6-0, 195-pounder led the Houston area in rushing with 2,174 yards on 324 carries and 17 touchdowns as a senior at Class 5A Brazoswood High in Texas.

"We're still not exactly sure what we're going to do with Yobes," Bustle said. "We know he's going to travel with us.

"We'll just have to wait and see what happens."

actually a player can redshirt as long as they haven't participated in more than 10% of any one season... As long as Jefferson doens't play again, he whould be able to take this year as a redshirt year.

That is totally false. A player who appears for one snap loses his redshirt, unless he is injured.

I stand corrected... I beleive the ruling is less than 10% and an injury is considered a medical hardship redshirt (see Justin Venable). One play and no injury = wasted redshirt.
