We had zero home field advantage that day. If that game was at night, that stadium would have been lit. That was the difference in the game.

I’ll disagree. I think our offense is on par with theirs but Tulane’s defense is way ahead of ours right now. Could we beat them, yes, but the better team won that day.

They beat us at the line of scrimmage. Better chance with a full stadium at night, but they were just a better team.

The ONLY reason we lost to toolame is because we gave up that pick-6 and that kickoff return-6 to start the second half!

The idea that Tulane dominated the line of scrimmage is just not true. Cajuns averaged more per rush and threw pretty much at will. We outgained Tulane in the game as well. Not saying we were better upfront but we weren’t dominated. I think both teams struggled to tackle. I think the heat on the field had a lot to do with it.

We had 2 more possessions than Tulane due to the Pick 6 and KO return. That is why our offensive numbers look better than the Wave. I am not taking away anything from our offense but our defense did struggle in 2nd half of that game.

I did not realize a change of possession "that scores" does not count as a possession.

Cajuns 62 plays 413 yards 6.67 yards per play
Tulane 61 plays 359 yards
5.88 yards per play

...our OFFENSE scored more than their offense….the KO RETURN now shows it should have been called back with Tulane having terrible field position to start the second half…..the Pic6 was a miscommunication that would have moved the chains for us! We match up with Tulane any day we play them!
