2006: UL-6 FAU-0

[LARaginCajun]

Bull ____! He was averaging 4+ yards a carry. That's not good run defense. You feed the monster and for every play he gets stopped at the line, then there are two plays he gets 5 or 6 yards. If they give FAU a steady dose from the get-go, mixing in Wallace every 5-6 plays, that front seven has nothing left at the end of the game when you are trying to get a first down to tak etime off the clock.

It looks like FAU use the same defense the Saints use against Atlanta to stop their spread offense.

I'm sorry, but FAUs defense did not play a great game, as some have said in other posts. It is easy to defend the same play again, and again, and again.

When you have a 1st and 10 in the redzone, with a 6 point lead, you go for the TD. You don't play for a field goal just to make it a two score game. Edmiston will miss one every now and then, obviously.

Two things that almost cost us the game
1- Horrible play calling
2- Complete lack of effort and emotion

I love the Cajuns, but that was laughable.

I do not think you can judge an offensive coordinator on one game. Lets see if he makes adjustments on next's week game.

I agree, but this junk has been going on for a looooooooooong time now. Time for some changes to be made.

Thing is, they stopped us when they needed to. Regardless of the yards per carry average.

If you haven't watched the game turn off your sets . . .

I just saw UL kick a FG

And then saw the kickoff sail into the endzone. I didn't know he had that much leg. I thought the new tee rules would that less likely.

Our defense played very well. Our offensive play calling stunk. I am not going to credit FAU for much of our offensive struggles. We made them look good. That play calling was POOR.

As a fan, I am happy with the W. Our coaches better not be pleased with that offensive performance on THEIR part. Having a rude awakening at a supposedly "inferior opponent", needs to drive them into full alert.

You don't improve by back slapping and saying "gee, that was close... but we WON". Or are we ready to accept 2nd, 3rd, or 4th place!?!?!?

This is the same offense that score 34 points against EMU and 31 points against Houston. You have to give FAU credit, they just did not get bad all of a sudden.

[AstroCajun]

do you have to be a poster since this board was created to be with "the in crowd"?

Nope, I wasn't. But you really need to test the waters before you dive in head first.

But when it comes down to it, isn't 4-2 (1-0) better than 3-3 (0-1)?

[RoundUP]

that was laughable.

Anyone who thinks this was a "great 3 1/2 hr commercial" for the program is fooling only himself.

I can't imagine ESPN (main channels) EVER having any interest in Sunbelt football again.

4-2. Thats all that matters.

Where were you last week?
Or the week before?

And might I suggest that you find a player on campus this week and tell him that they lacked effort or emotion.

[Zeebart21]

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.

just enjoy the ride.

4-2
