I hope they did a triple-replay of the game winning field goal and the ensuing celebration in the stands of the students. I gotta tell y'all, the way the season had been goin at the point we won that game, it felt like we won the superbowl! I mean me and my friends were huggin and jumpin and goin crazy! I'm lookin forward to a much better season this year. Geaux Cajuns!
Ahhh the feeling of winning.
Its awesome especially when u do it home.
<blockquote><p align=justify>LOUISIANA La. — Unless someone steps up soon, Louisiana’s running back position will once again be a committee operation for 2004.
That’s not altogether bad, if the Cajuns can churn out 150 yards a game on the ground with a variety of players sharing the load.
But if it means no one is ready to be the answer, that’s another thing.
Senior Dwight Lindon is one part of the equation, and the former Comeaux High star would welcome the responsibility of leading the way. But he also knows the squad has several capable backs.
“In high school, I carried it 30 times a game,” Lindon said. “Those years were so sweet. I miss those days. We have a lot of backs, and each of us can play.”
Lindon totalled 228 yards and three touchdowns in 2003, with one of those scores an overtime plunge that kept UL alive in its four-overtime 57-51 victory at Middle Tennessee in the season finale.
He also played well in the spring and scored in last Saturday’s scrimmage at Cajun Field. But he also fumbled twice in that drill.
“I have to continue to work hard,” Lindon said. “I put God first in everything I do, whether I mess up or do good. The good days outweigh the bad.
“I know this can’t last forever. I’m just trying to have fun with football.”

Lindon could be forgiven if he was frustrated by days spent wearing a green jersey at practice — the color assigned to those nursing injuries and out of contact drills — especially with such competition heated for snaps.
Chester Johnson is back after leading the Cajuns in rushing in 2003 with 421 yards and five scores, including a 153-yard day against Idaho.
Josh Harrison, a 5-foot-7, 175-pounder whose specialty is speed and shiftiness, is a long-distance threat.
One new element is Abdule Levier, who has been impressive since leaving his own green jersey behind.
Then there is freshman Caleb Rubin, who has turned heads in early drills with his quickness and toughness.
Dechad Ward is another in the rotation.
The crowd was thinned somewhat when Travis Smothers was moved to wide receiver after notching 269 yards last season, including 109 yards in the opener at South Carolina, but there are still plenty of eager ball carriers.
Fullbacks Travis Cones, Ross Rix and newcomer Booker Jenkins will also get some chances to keep defenses honest.
Obviously, then, each touch is that much more important to each of the UL backs.
“Everything is mental,” Lindon said. “There are always little things I can focus on.
“The running game is pretty much the same as it was last year. The running backs have been together for a year or two now, and we all support each other.”
One thing’s for sure — each of them has to be ready.
