At midway point of the season, UL coach Mark Hudspeth believes the Cajuns could be better off if the defense had been playing better earlier
The CAJUNS would've been better off if he had started Nunez at qb from the beginning! I beleive the CAJUNS would be at least 5-1 right now if Nunez had started all 6 games.

Does ANYONE else feel conflicted here?
Short Term: The absolute desire for UL to win the remaining 6 games (including ASU, App St, AND Ole Miss)
vs
LONG Term: NOT breaking .500, and improving the odds to rid us of Hud?

But I wonder if our main stream fan base would be excited?
It was interesting to be in College station this weekend and talk to aTm fans. Many of them are ready for Sumlin to go. They thinks it’s just time. I think it’s just where we are as a society with sports that people want change and do not have the patience to let things play out. I’m not saying that is bad or good in each particular circumstance but it does seem to be how fans are.
Like CajunJack I will root for my teams to win in all circumstances. Otherwise I would no longer consider myself a fan of that team and move on
I certainly agree.
I just feel conflicted.
At the end of the day, neither YOU nor I have any say on what our final record will be.
On a related note:
It irritated the #@%$ out of me to have the play by play and color guy from Thursday night discuss how great Hud was doing, how well he is liked by fans, and how great he is because he continues to " smartly and expertly adjust to the situation (like when the D sucked for the first 4 games) and always does the right things to improve when things start slow...."
Jordan Davis needs to be the starting QB... Nunez can't run so we are one deminsional in our run game.... doesn't fit the offensive style
I get what you're saying, but if Davis isn't ready to put out 100% every play, I'd rather have Nunez throwing the ball up the field and letting the running backs run the ball.Quote:

Either the staff will rise to the challenge or they will fall short. They control their own destiny.Quote:

And you are right... Nunez can run well enough. He may not get any better than what we've seen so far... but I was fairly impressed at his read progressions early on. Unfortunately, he drops back a little too deep at times... and doesn't get the ball off quick enough. But if he gets more comfortable, he'll probably get the timing down... and even tuck and run it better.Quote:

Does anyone know what the status of Davis' injury is?
BC his longest run of the year is 13 yds. That's not the kind of run threat that will take anyone's eyes off of Ragas.Quote:

Dr. Maggard can't go on much longer without a 100% enthused donor base. He's handcuffed until either Hudspeth is let go or Hudspeth somehow finds the reset button on the program with the fans on board.
Tall order.
A win in Jonesboro would really go a long way towards that reboot.
The answer is plain as day.Quote:

Based on previous performance I suspect we will win one game that we will be underdogs in and lose one game that we will be favored in. How we come out of this 3 game road swing will greatly dictate the outcome of this season.
The more I look at the remaining schedule, I don't see another loss. I think we win out.Quote:
