Hall Davis, Chris Laneaux, and Nate Douglas got some reps at LB during tuesday practice. Only practiced in about 2 periods, but we may have to resort to them stepping in. Worth a shot!!!

UL — Rickey Bustle cautioned his players and fans just a few weeks ago that the final four games of the University of Louisiana’s regular season were going to be difficult.
“Tough and tougher,” is how he described the stretch.
Those words are proving to be prophetic these days and what once seemed likely — a Sun Belt Conference title and a bowl berth — isn’t so certain in the wake of the Cajuns’ 40-29 loss to Florida Atlantic on Saturday. It was the Cajuns’ second straight defeat, dropping them to 5-5 overall and 4-1 in the Sun Belt Conference.
The Cajuns now face the task of winning their final two games in order to win their first outright league championship since 1970 or one of two to, at the least, become bowl eligible and avoid a losing season.

Making matters more difficult, UL faces SBC co-leader Troy this Saturday, a team which led LSU 31-3 before the Tigers rallied in the final quarter for a 40-31 victory.
“I said this two weeks ago, that this thing was going to get tough. I knew what we had down the road,” Bustle reminded members of the media Monday at his weekly news conference. “The great thing is that we’re still in it; we still have control of our destiny.”
Against FAU, the Cajuns quickly fell behind (26-7 at half) and never recovered.
“As far as the FAU game, I haven’t changed my opinion. I was very disappointed in the way we played and the way we came out to start the game,” said Bustle. “Yeah, I was glad that we played better in the second half and scored some points, but you let a game like that get away and you do things … too late and too little.
“I was extremely frustrated with the way we played defense and offense from the standpoint of production.”
The Cajuns, for the second straight game, had four turnovers and were riddled by a passing attack which was particularly effective throwing to its tight ends. The Cajuns gave up more than 290 passing yards for the second week in a row and now have yielded nine passing touchdowns in the last eight quarters.
“We didn’t have a good defensive game,” Bustle said. “I thought we were somewhat cautious in some areas. I know we played a couple of young linebackers who were involved in some communications and we’ve got to keep working to get that better.”
“And, offensively, we moved the ball at times, but we didn’t put it in the end zone. That’s what you have to do. You’ve got to come out of the gate ready to play and I’m not saying we weren’t ready to play — we just didn’t play very smart. I think we played a little cautious.”
Bustle said he hopes the Cajuns didn’t get caught up in the magnitude of the game.
“Because it was a big game and we’ve got another big one coming up this week,” he said.
This Saturday’s showdown with the Trojans will, in all likelihood, determine the winner of the Sun Belt Conference. Following that game, the Cajuns and Trojans each have only one game remaining — the Cajuns against Middle Tennessee and the Troy against Arkansas State.
For the Cajuns, injuries continue to be a major concern, especially at linebacker, where leading tackler Daylon McCoy was forced to miss last week’s game because of a hamstring injury. The Cajuns were already heavily depleted at linebacker and were forced to start two freshmen at that position.
Quarterback Michael Desormeaux, who has been slowed by a knee injury, played about well as he could at FAU and that the knee doesn’t appear to be bothering him, Bustle said.
A healthy Desormeaux and the return of McCoy could be just the thing the Cajuns need to take care of business Saturday at Troy.
“As far as the attitude part of these two losses, we’re still sitting where we need to be sitting to control our destiny and that’s important,” Bustle said
“I’ve always felt that it (league race) was going to close, closer than it’s ever been. The conference champion is not going undefeated, so that means everybody is beating up on each other. Everyone is improving and like I’ve said a thousand times before, if you don’t bring your A game every week, you’re not going to win.”

I am ready to play. I make a mean weakside linebacker at 5' 9" and 160lbs. Nuthin but speed!!! I can cover a receiver like flies on ......
Doesn't pot stay in your system for a long time, thus 1 positive test would pretty much guarantee failure for the next two (within such a short window of time)?Quote:

Boy, you sure know a lot about pot and drug testing. :pQuote:
