The cameras kept showing the same 10 students throughout the game showing that nobody was at the game

Phew! if it werent for that great defensive play in the endzone FAU would've had the upset.We better step up our game , this was a very unimpressive performance.

To say the least. I will take the W, don't take me wrong... but that venue was a waste pile for a nationally televised game. Was someone intentionally trying to slam the Sunbelt. Who picked an FAU home game at that rag tag stadium? Was ESPN2 out of their minds?

I am venting due to a less than admirable performance by our offense, and our coaching staff's play calling. Our defense was great, and maybe once my blood pressure goes down, I can say a big "thank you" for that.

The commentator said something about Bustle admitting we were too predictable at the half... I could have called that game 2 plays ahead of the action when we had the ball. We need to be LESS PREDICTABLE!!!!!!!

Now.... thank you for the W and on to the next game.

Found this on a FAU message board:

"The student section and band will be moved to the visitor sideline for the UL game to not have shots of empty stands on ESPN2. The sidelines will be closed off to fans."

Comments anyone?

We have no room to talk about empty seats or fan attendance at home games!! Pot calling kettle black!!

A win is a win is a win. ESPN2 needs to show opening kickoff and the vomit over Miami in the third quarter, I hope that gets the guy on the sideline a decent job. Lack offense, of course it's all Jay's Fault, Stevie gets some blame too.....:-)

Had wiife hit record :15 minutes before kickoff so I will get to watch it.

FAU receiver Simeon questionable for Louisiana

BOCA RATON — Florida Atlantic's receiving corps is in pain.

Frantz Simeon, FAU's biggest receiving threat, separated his shoulder in Thursday's victory against Southern Utah.

Simeon was listed as questionable by the school for Wednesday's game against Louisiana.

Also, senior receiver Casey McGahee has a sprained ankle.

McGahee and Simeon, the two most experienced receivers on the team, join freshman Cortez Gent, who missed Thursday's game with an ankle injury and is questionable Wednesday, and Chris Bonner, who is sick and hasn't practiced in two days.

"None of this is good," coach Howard Schnellenberger said.

No decision has been made to who will start Wednesday, but freshman receiver Avery Holley, who scored his second touchdown of the season against Southern Utah, took many snaps with the first-team offense in practice Sunday alongside junior Chad Wilkes, who has started three games of the season.

No matter what anyone says it's a darn good thing FAU was not at full strength or they would have won the game. I don't think I've ever seen anything more pittiful than that so called "gimmick" offense tonight. Geeez that was plain horrible. Sooner or later this season that offense will come back to haunt. It's awfull to say the least.

That was one pathetic place to have a nationally televised game. Whoever set that up at ESPN2 ought to be fired. That did nothing for us, FAU or ESPN2. Even if we had played lights out, that is not the place to showcase anything. That chaps a patch a red on my back side!

You obviously haven't been to a game in a few years. If you think that was anything comparable to a game at Cajun Field, you have even hit the heavy stuff too long or started at too young an age.

bad idea to have national tv sunbelt game at that stadium.

Hopefully Cox is not hurt too bad. That probably cost Cajuns points. Penalties stopped some drives as well. Punt return called back did not help either. But cajuns had fortunate turnovers go their way and could do nothing with those.

If Cox is out for a while, could be big offensive problems.

You're not kidding. Those refs must be totally blind to not see that it was not an interception by the cajuns db. Those refs suited the game just fine because the cajuns offense was just putrid. What do you think Troy State will do with that pittiful cajuns offense? WOW!

Turbine , dont bother watching the game.Absolutely horrible..and high school games in louisiana get better attendance than that .I dvr'd the game thinking that it would be a blowout and I could watch the Fenroy - Babb mauling the FAU D , but our offence could get nothing going.
