Never did I feel the game was in doubt until Smith fumbled the ball on the goal line. Clearly, he did not learn a lesson from his counterpart on the other side of the ball who put the ball on the ground taking points away from them. Smith should have realized the importance of ball security plain & simple.
Houston got their goat? Please explain to us that.

There are several interpretations but the phrase to "get their goat" has roots in annoying someone, make them lose their concentration, make a person lose his or her temper.

Re: I-Bowl Final: Louisiana 16, Houston 23
Season is over and given the circumstances placed on CMD, he did a great job this year.
1. Administration underfunded the program(NIL, marketing, football staff).
2. Napier and the transfer portal gutted the roster.
3. QB injuries.
4. 1st year coaching staff.
5. Limited fan support.
CMD has pulled together a good recruiting class and he now knows what he has to work with next year.
Every program has a season regression back to the middle of the pack. I hope this was our year and we come out swinging next year.
Moving forward, we should solidify the QB position by the end of spring.

Chris Smith didnt have his best game, but all you P5 coaches out there on RP that think he cost us the game need to have your heads examined. Stop whining.

Re: I-Bowl Final: Louisiana 16, Houston 23
Part of me is hopeful for next season. ZC needs to be QB1, CMD can be a players’ coach, but be more decisive. LL1 was CBN’s QB, and there was no doubt. Looking at this season, he was right.
The other part of me sees a RCAF that can’t grow, leadership that doesn’t engage even the average fan (not casual) anymore unless it’s IG or Twitter, and can hear a gnat fart in regards to the stadium. It’s the RCC all over again. This discourages the older fan and creates no real young fan growth. This has to change, or we’ll have a FB program much like both our basketball programs.

He stunk today. I could name 10 other plays by guys not named Chris Smith that were abysmal as well. Team failure.

I do and have been there. His error at the time was magnified big time and I believe changed the course of the game. Just My View. Big Time Players also show up in Big Time Games. He didn't show up at the show down. Time to move forward to the off season and work on getting better. We will be with most of this staff for at least a few more years.

Re: I-Bowl Final: Louisiana 16, Houston 23
Like all year. 4th game lost by one score where we pretty much gave it to them. 2 fumbles and stupid penalties in key situations. Lowest point total Houston scored all year I believe and still couldn’t get it done. That game was the whole season in a few quarters in the second half. Props to the defense for keeping us in it.
The low snaps were killing the exchange and I believe caused at least one fumble.
It was cold as hell. Moving on. Always next year!

I think this is closer to the truth than placing the loss squarely on his shoulders. That moment is absolutely magnified because of the timing in the game. For example, Bishop dropped a maybe pick 6 on Houston’s lone TD drive in the first half. That moment will largely be forgotten despite it being a potential 13 point swing. Smith’s fumbles absolutely changed the course of the game. That just doesn’t make him solely responsible for the final result.

If you want to focus on the negative and not the positive he did, you need to check your fandom.

There was actually more Cajun fans than I expected. Great job Cajun Nation showing up in those conditions.
Went thru 4 large packs of hand and toe warmers with our crew.
I was really surprised how good our crowd was. The home side was basically empty.
My warmers are still working if you want me to send them to you :).
Well, I am going to look forward to next year. Geaux Cajuns!

…..What was the deal on LeBlanc’s near TD……came back well on the ball and looked like he almost had it but maybe defender knocked it…..would have been a huge play for us!
