2006 LSU-45 UL-3

[Turbine]

Running back Tyrell Fenroy, who gained over a 1,000 yards as a freshman last season, managed only 52 against LSU.

Come on Bob, at the end of the 1st half Fenroy was on pace for a 1,326 yard season before Bustle called of the T-Train.

Fenroy only had 1 carry in the 2nd half, Bustle gave 7 backs a look.

[Turbine]

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.

This is a no brainer, UL's defensive "Time Machines" were not in the game.

When your starting Defensive Ends Rodney Hardeway, and Anthony Hills are not in the game and thus unable to steal play development time from LSU's QB, the results are not surprising.

With Hardaway and Hills in the game, the first TD never happens . . . at least not like that.

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,

Do you think LSU's pass rush had anything to do with that? For us to go deep, Babb has to have time for the play to develop. I think the reason we did not go deep was because we did not have lots of time to let the play develop.

I do think Babb was told not to run. There were few times that he could of run but did not.

Also, to run the option, you are allowing the defense to really hit the qb, I think that was one of the reasons we did not run the option. The other reason being LSU's team speed on defense.

or maybe LSU's defense is so much faster than what UL is used to facing Bustle realized the option would be ineffective. remember LSU hanled Chris Leak and Urban Meyers spread option quite effectively. UL should not have been that much of a problem

I'm not whining. There is a time in every game when you run the clock out. 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. Like I said before, have fun in the Peach Bowl.

see this attitude ____es me off to no end. as a UL fan you would give your left nut for a chance to play in the Peach Bowl, much less smash the U. Stop trying to play down LSU's success in order to compensate for UL's station.

after a scoring gap of 93-3 in the last two meetings, I would think that you would be able to recognize the vast difference in the two programs. I am watching the game on dvr and it was over within the first 5 minutes. UL never really competed to win this game. They showed themselves well and will be an excellent sunbelt team. But the sunbelt is not the SEC and will never be.

It is a good thing for this state to have multiple successful programs, but don't confuse that with UL somehow being LSU's equal or rival. Saturdays game should have proved that.

I am not downplaying LSU's success. The reason I say they will play in the Peach Bowl is because I dont see LSU beating Auburn, Florida, Tennesse, and Arkansas on the road. I see them losing at least 2 of these games, going undefeated at home, and playing in the Peach Bowl. Thats all I was saying.

[cjr3888]

I think we did run the option. The only thing is that the qb is reading the defensive end. If the end shoots into the backfield he gives the ball to the back through the middle. If the end stays back then he keeps the ball on the option. The end was pretty much always in the backfield which is why we kept running the first back through.

maybe you should change the statment from programs to football. Since all you blow us out in is football. We can compete in just about every other sport. Sure you may beat us, but it isnt a blow out. And dont think because you are the flagship school, we are going to back down. Its just not going to happen. Geaux Cajuns

In our offense we always have the option of who to give it to I think what they meant to say is Jerry rarely ran with fenroy and then pitched, the decision was made in the backfield. This would be to avoid Jerry taking any unnecessary hits

Also the one sport we did start beating you in, th eol tigers stopped playing us in. And if the almight tiger basketball is so great why not a return trip to the cajundome.

as I reminded a UL baseball player on sat, UL only beat LSU in mid-week games. In the playoffs LSU swept and went on to the next round. The one yr that UL went to the CWS, they came out fifth and the tigers won. The other 12 times that LSU went to the CWS, UL did not make it that far. I'll compare records in baseball any day of the week and twice on sunday. 13 CWS appearances, 5 national champs. 1 CWS appear, no national champs.

In basketball LSU won by 20. How much does it take to convince that LSU was better? LSU went to the final four, its 3rd final four btw. the best that UL has ever done is round of 16 I think. never a final four. LSU has 3 players in 50 basketball players of all time. I don't think that I need to justify its accomplishments.

Need I say more?

I pull for UL to win and I pull for all la schools. I just can't stomach the snide remarks like, "have fun in the Peach Bowl" when your program would kill to be in that situation.

The Tigers will eventually play in the Cajundome. It was going to happen this year, in fact, but the two teams couldn't work the dates out as it was being attempted pretty late.
