As Turbine said this situation is based on IF. That does not stop and start with on field performance. We built the success on field up. Attendance improved but not by the numbers we wanted. In large part, IMO, because we did NOTHING to improve our gameday experience.
Ga State falls in the opening round to USC 3-0.

Anybody heard anything about T.J. Finley and the Cajuns?
Is he willing to move positions?Quote:

He has only completed about 57% of his passes and found himself behind guys by the name of Bo Nix, Robby Ashford, Myles Brennan and Max Johnson, not a who's who of NCAA QB's.Quote:

Georgia State: Rushed for 200+ yards on us at home and could've won the game if Elliot doesn't abandon the run too early.
It doesn't take anything away from Billy Napier and his legacy here to acknowledge the fact that he was without out a doubt the most fortunate coach we have had in the last 30+ years.
2 field goal misses against "the program we should never lose to" away from OT in one game and a loss in the other. Billy had 4 years here and gave us one dominant win over the Warhawks.
Have we forgotten the shanked field goal to get us our first win over App State? Needing a 53 yard field goal from a guy who couldn't hit 30 yarders to beat Ga Southern?
The only reason to add TJ Finley to the program is depth. He will graduate from Auburn this month and have 1 yr. of eligibility left. I doubt seriously if Wooldridge will be cleared to play by the beginning of the season and we don't know if Fields has lingering questions about his recovery. He adds experience and depth to the roster, and he is from Louisiana.Quote:

Didn't that guy with the bird say that the opening starter would be Ben. Has that changed?Quote:

Taking an intentional safety and having your opponent shank a field goal is one way to deliver I guess.Quote:

Considering the long snapping struggles that night the safety was the absolute right call in that game.Quote:

If Ben and chandler are both healthy the Cajuns will have 2 of the most experienced back ups ever.Quote:

Attached is the article that mentions about the QB battle while at Fresno.
