Ragin' Cajuns settle on starting quarterback — but only they know

UL has made a decision on its starting quarterback for Saturday's game at Louisiana Tech — and, in keeping with this year's theme, it isn't planning on releasing that information before kickoff. At least not publicly. "We've alread...

Maybe that is on purpose

It's sad that we're still writing these articles 4 games into the season...

If I read between the lines all I see is that Brooks Haack is the better QB. Yet, he doesn't fit the system, so we will go with the lesser QB who really should be the guy who replaced Alonzo Harris.

I read between the sidelines; OC has trouble adapting to strengths.

Triple that.

We should be committing to Brooks, and if he falters, handing over the reigns and the future to Davis. Nixon should be pounding it up the middle and be your emergency QB.

They could still do this, but I think they probably have never even entertained this scenario.

Saw Landor on TV last night with SLU- Could he have been the answer?

Doesn't matter, results will be similar to last year.

I don't know, I think it'll be a close game this time around.

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!

I am beginning to think the person that should be starting QB won't be seen until the Boise game in 2016. Quarter of the way thru the season, no need to burn the r/s.

After last sat, HUD has no choice but to change things up. Nixon will start. If he isn't effective, we will see Haack.

Neither was effective. We have not had an effective game plan to date. Also Haack has ran the ball just as effective as Nixon.

Haack had a few good runs this year, most against NWST, but your kidding yourself if you think he can be as much of a run threat as Nixon. Neither were very effective Saturday, but I think Nixon will get the start. He at least deserves a chance to start a game.

To me Nixon always seems cool as ice. Seriously, the kid doesn't seem to get rattled. That Tulane game a few years back and the second half vs. UK. I don't know, I just feel like he has the bigger will to win.

Dion should be playing immediately! Don't worry about a redshirt - use your best available

I do not like the new theme from coaches of keeping the starting qb a secret.

Aside from the obvious drawbacks of creating issues with team chemistry it also looks desperate in my opinion.

I feel like the coaching staff doesn't think that thE Cajuns can win if the opponent is able to game plan for the starter all week. It feels like this coaching staff has lost its MOJO this season on offense. I haven't seen a solid offensive game plan all season and play calling last Saturday was the worst I have seen since Bustle's infamous "run the ball up the middle 3 times in a row."

14 carries for 83 yards for a 5.9 ypc.
10 carries for 29 yards for a 2.9 ypc.

I'll let you take s guess at whose stats are for wich QB.

Keep your facts out of this...

Per Hud, Brooks was the most affected by last Saturday's loss. I say we give him the reigns and let him go ape-shhyt.

Screw it. Start Davis
