I agree that the no. 1 problem would be the OL, but it's the coaches that put us in this position, specifically Coach Hud.

Tbh I think they were just more talented than we were. They had better play at qb, rb, wr, line play, and their pass rush was insane. 6 sacks I believe, 4 from one guy. And Mullins beat us in the film room. Said after the game he knew he could exploit the zone coverage. We had half the yards they did and now looking back am kinda suprised we were within a touchdown
They didn't have better RB play than the Cajuns, they just used their RB better.
This topic may have been covered and if so, I apologize for the repeat. Is it just me or was Poole's first sack of Jennings' targeting? I kept looking at the replay and all I saw was him leaving the ground and striking Jennings with the crown of his helmet. If that is not targeting there is no such thing. I know that this is woulda shoulda coulda but imagine the change in their defense strategy if he is out. We could not stop the guy. The targeting call on Walker is understandable as it was at least a late hit but in no way did he lead with anything other than his shoulder. It hurt our backfield. Besides, he was due to guard somebody at least once during the game and it could have happened on USM's last couple of drives. I think the targeting rule should be removed.
Yes, Jennings was terrible. But let's not forget how truly awful our secondary is. Play too close, they get burned deep, so they play scared. 3rd and 8, Play 15 yards off and give them the easy first down.
We couldn't cover a pass all year.
If Goodlett is the best we have. We are in trouble .
