2006 LSU-45 UL-3

[RonMexico]

"Coaches with class do not keep throwing the ball and calling time outs in the final 2 or 3 minutes of a game that is out of reach"

we threw 5 passes in the 4th quarter
one of which was perriloux's 10 yard pass to a TE on the final possession.
2 came on the first drive of the quarter, one of those was a 3rd and 9 play
now Flynn did run the ball a few times on plays that may have been passes in the huddle

should we run the ball every play of the quarter?
and we took timeouts not to run up anything, but to get perriloux more than 1 snap in his first game. he threw one pass, and handed off 3 times

i dont see how what we did wasnt classy. its not like we called timeout and threw the ball 40 yards. we had a true freshamn qb, a true freshamn running back , and 2 true freshman recivers on the final series

MJ, you cant put your reserves and expect them to lay down. Miles did nothing wrong.

Congrats on the win.

We (UL) take our lumps, learn a few lessons and prepare to go 11-1!!!

Your qb will get snaps throughout the season. There is no reason to call those timeouts at the end of the game. If you want him to get more snaps then put him in earlier in the quater. And yes those play when Flynn ran the ball all were play action passes. I know people are going to say ya'll were just running the offense but ya'll were not. Throughout the first 3 quaters the gameplan was run on 1st and throw on 2nd and 3rd downs. Then late in the 4th quater it changed to throwing on 1st.

If you like to look at a game a 2nd time to study certain plays or focus on certain positions . . .

Or if you want to see the game for the first time . . . .

Of if you are a glutton for punishment . . .

COX 37 (in Acadiana and BR) will replay the game twice

Tonight, September 3: 7:00PM
Wednesday, September 6: 7:00PM

Hopefully that is the last time it is replayed!

I certainly think Bustle held plays back, in hopes of using it against aTm, thinking UL has a better shot at winning against aTm rather than LSU.

Ex. We were very strong last year with the option and we ran it maybe 4 times the whole game.

Ex. We have a wide reciever with speed under 4.3 and we did not use him deep. Using this reciever deep whether he caught the ball or not would have backed the corners and safety up opening up the short pass and thus opening the running game also.

Just my take,

Yeah, I thought we were rather limited on play selection, too. I think once the score got out of hand, Coach decided to go with a minimum on plays to not give away anything for a more winnable game.

A second look at his team's 45-3 Saturday loss at LSU, this time on video, didn't change University of Louisiana football coach Rickey Bustle's mind very much. "Everything was exactly how I thought it was from the sideline," Bustle said Sunday after his team's late-evening practice. "We had some of our young guys play well, we had some others play well. We just made too many mistakes." His Cajun players also had a chance to look at the game films Sunday evening before hitting Cajun Field for an 8:30 p.m. practice, and Bustle said the reaction was past surprise. "Some of them were shocked at the mistakes we were making, the things we did," Bustle said. "That's not the things we practiced or what we'd worked on. I said last week we hadn't been tested. Now we have, and we failed that test. "But there are some positives. Our two young defensive ends (Greg Hathorn and Hall Davis) played well, and we had a lot of first-time guys doing things that did a good job."

I feel as if Miles was not game planning against UL. It seemed more against the ghost of Saban. After all the trash talking, I feel as if Miles had to prove himself to the backers and not let up on the lowly school if he wanted to keep his job.

Here's what I saw. One minute left in the first half and the score is 21 to 3. Its 3rd and 17 with the ball on I think about 35. Now most coachs run the ball and try to get in better position to kick a field goal and go into the lockerroom. Instead we see a spread formation and bomb into the endzone.

Now I'm not saying I'm right or wrong, just saying how it looked like to me. I was only able to see one other game on Saturday and it was the Michigan (my other team) against Vanderbilt. Now Vanderbilt was clearly out matched but I never got the feeling they were trying to drop bombs on the commodores and blow them out of the water.

University of Louisiana quarterback Jerry Babb said late Saturday night that teams make their biggest improvements between games one and two. His Cajun team's hoping he's right, since the Cajuns are still looking for their first touchdown of the season and will face another team that hasn't given up a touchdown next Saturday. The loss to LSU Saturday night was expected by every one of the 92,362 in attendance. A 45-3 loss wasn't by the Cajun faithful, especially after the way the UL squad ended up its 2005 season. Those games are now a distant memory, and short-term memory looks more like a nightmare. UL defenders watched passes go both over the top and stop underneath, all to wide-open receivers as part of LSU's 299 passing yards. That's more than they allowed in any two of last year's final four games combined, and more than they've allowed to any opponent since pass-happy Idaho in 2002. And the Tigers did that on only 23 pass attempts. But this one was a true team loss. An offense that led the Sun Belt Conference last season and ranked seventh nationally in rushing managed only 176 total yards, 113 of those on the ground. Babb, the most accurate passer in UL history, was pressured constantly in a 7-of-17 performance that included two damaging interceptions.

For at least the next couple of days, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette football team will pay attention to repairs. What needs fixing? Coaches call the problem mistakes and there were more than enough of those — both mental and physical — for the Ragin’ Cajuns on Saturday in a season-opening 45-3 loss to No. 8 LSU. UL doesn’t have much time for routine maintenance. The Cajuns face another tough opponent this Saturday when they travel to Texas A&M (1-0). In four visits to Kyle Field since 1990, they’ve been outscored 194-28. How much will the LSU loss affect ULL’s preparation for Texas A&M? ULL senior defensive tackle Marshall Delesdernier isn’t so sure. “I guess it depends how we come back and practice,” he said. “It won’t hurt us so much if we see it as a good opportunity to fix our mistakes.

UL sophomore kicker Drew Edmiston is now a footnote in history. It’s not a pretty history, but that’s not his fault. The Ragin’ Cajuns hadn’t scored against LSU’s Tigers in the last nine meetings between the two teams (official records say it was 10 games, but that’s not right ... * ). But Edmiston was responsible for snapping that streak. His 40-yard field goal 11:26 before halftime Saturday night brought the Cajuns within 14-3 at the time. It didn’t turn out to be a factor in the game, with LSU running away with a 45-3 victory, but it did halt that score-deprived struggle. “That one felt great,” the sophomore said of his first collegiate field goal. “I didn’t have to look up at it. I knew I hit it great.” Edmiston, a product of Owasso, Okla., and Owasso High who redshirted in 2004 and didn’t see any action last year, had missed on a 35-yard try with 4:35 left in the first quarter, halting the Cajuns’ deepest penetration of the night.

Anyone else geeked that we came out of this thing with NO major injuries????
