He scrambled for positive yardage. He kept plays alive. And, his pass to Ja"Marcus for the TD was huge.

Now, to the person many pages ago who was critical of my comment about fielding punts, let me say this: Billy Napier made it clear before the season started our biggest issue on punts was failure to field the football. He said it was a point of emphasis in camp.

Garror did what he was coached to do. And, if you paid attention, you'd know that.

And, yes, I referred to the game as an _____ kicking. Because it was.

Lots of smiles on that plane last night.

I'm glad Garror did as he was coached as I agree punts should be fielded. That being said, he did muff 2 of them which is inexcusable. Do you think we will see someone else on punt returns next week?

Hopefully legendre gets some work back there ...I worry having a DB field punts.

He most certainly did not do what he was coached to do. He was coached to field the punts, to “not let them hit the ground”.

Two hit the ground......field the punts means to actually catch them.


Nice to see him come back in the 2nd half and get back on track. Gonna need him on point against App State. Can’t give away possessions and points against them.

Been awhile since I've seen a Cajuns team win when they supposed to and then win when were not expected to. This team is legit good and unlike any I have seen. This team knows they are good and refuses to be denied. Levi really played well, much kudos to him.

No. He was out there on the third one and returned it 14 yards.

And while Garror's job is to field the punts, it is not part his job to fumble the attempt. That's three fumbles in 6 consecutive quarters by him. We just cannot do that against better opponents. I understand not trying to destroy his confidence, but the team comes first. He should not have been in the game for the second return. He will have plenty of opportunities to work on it during the week and earn the trust of the staff.

Bingo. I was shocked he was put back in last night.

Not unless someone looks better than him in practice.

He is coached to field all punts and not let them hit the ground for the opposing team to pin us deep. Yes, we get it that he is not supposed to drop the punt but you guys know that is not what Jay meant. Bottomline is he didn't execute it but he's also told NOT to run away and let it be downed.
