Certainly looks the part. And he may be more Atheltic at this young age than Ladarius was.

If this staff doesn't get it done with these guys Bicky will start to question them.

You are correct Bickys bad.

Sounded like today they plan to redshirt him unless they absolutely need him.

No Bickys good. He was just misunderstood.

I agree, I'm all for the redshirt... Especially at the TE position. Let him grow and work....then have him for 4 years.

Also, Nick Byrne looks good. I know its early, but glad he's back. Now.. whether we throw him the ball or not is another story all together.

Bicky don't know if you remember this, but if you go back and look at the 6 quarters JD played QB at the end of last year he probably came close to hitting the tightend as much as the rest of the year combined. Bicky loves when the TE is involved in the passing game.

Another positive...

If the Cajuns win, people will be talking about Boise St. losing all afternoon and night...since our game starts so damn early.

While I think we will be a much improved team this year, HUD has never been able to compete in the early season games against bigger schools. They will have the talent advantage at just about every position. We will have to win the turnover margin and play with nothing to lose if we are to pull this out. I'm thinking we lose this one pretty handily but will get better as the season progresses.

They competed pretty well against Kentucky last year.

Mostly, you're right. But unless a year removed has destroyed my memory, both offensive and defensive lines for the Cajuns look MUCH better at this point (which is early, I know). Our size and athleticism on OL especially stands out.

Again, I know it's early.. But Jennings is head and shoulders more polished than JD. Footwork, fluidity, natural with the football in his hands. I was certainly impressed.

You're starting to make me believe, MAT. I'm trying to use history as my guide... but you're starting to make me believe... we're going to crush Boise State! Geaux Cajuns!

I'm going to ride the wake of your new brainwashed mind. Boise State is going down!

I've been calling it since the spring...the gods will shine down on Cajun Field come September 3rd.

Well, I'm not sorry for picking you up and taking you to practice. But yes, I see some things that hold promise and I'm going to wait until I see the scrimmages before I get excited.

I've been pretty optimistic about the young talent we have on the offensive line and I think this is the year that they show up and make a difference. If you are right about AJ, that is fantastic as that is the single most important position on the field and we will need solid QB play to have a good season. I think we could win the game, but it's gonna be a tough battle as they will be a talented club.

Or if the offense can sustain a single drive to keep said defense off the field a little bit.....Defense showed their talent at times and if we can get our schemes straight, they may be shining light in this game.

Defense was every bit as inept as the offense last year. This is a new year with new assets and liabilities but we need to quit pretending it was all on the offense last year. Remember it starts with defense.

I disagree. The D was on the field 2/3 of the entire season last year.

Both ranked about the same in the SBC.

There's zero correlation in your stat. Of course if you can't stop anyone your offense will mirror your futility.

By the way? Time of possession was in offenses court 30.07 minutes a game. It seems your argument for time is even wrong.
