2006: UL-6 FAU-0

[Zeebart21]

Absolutely. 90% of the criticism posted was justified. AGAIN... for those who cannot tolerate anything but the positives... it was a W and we are 4-2. The aggravation was that it was on national TV, and regardless of every comment on who did what well, the offensive play calls (and execution) were very poor. We all have to be thankful that our defense won this game for us. I will support the Cajuns, be at every home game, and I am still very excited about this season. The issue is that our offense cannot let up on future opponents and be gifted by a defensive shutout.

I will spin it for another positive... we won on a bad performance. This gives the coaches a means to get the offense to focus in practice, and continue developing. Geaux Cajuns!!!

WE WON ON A BAD PERFORMANCE!!! with apologies to "bad eye" Stewart Scott..."BOOYAHHHHH"....

Would have been a loss 2 years ago.

I just don't get complaining about a win. Let the folks in BR do that.

That is not to say that there are things we can do better. Of course that's the case.

My loyalty will always be to the Cajuns, but this is not the only time we have not be able to produce in KEY games. TOO inconsistant for me.

Our offensive coordinator did nothing to counter their defense, that is what I should have stated. I still am not impressed with our offensive coordinator. SORRY.

Geaux Cajuns

There was nothing wrong with the play calling. There was a problem with play execution. Babb stunk up the joint last night. He consistantly was slow and/or wrong on his 'reads', and when he kept the ball he was very tentative running with it. If Babb is his usual self last night, he would have rushed for over 100 and FAU would have been forced to abandon the run blitz they used on virtually every running situation down, or risk being torched for 50.

Think about it. In every other game this year, even the losses to aTm and state, when Babb executed the option you had trouble picking up who had the ball. Last night, you knew. Every time. That is Babb having a very 'off' night.

I do believe that we should have brought in Desormeaux for at least a series or two, to see if he was sharper than Babb; but as far as play calling, it was fine.

Just got in, (work) saw last 20 seconds of game. Geaux Michael Adams.

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

Much less stressful that way I was driving home and my son was on the phone with me describing the last couple of plays. Watched my "tape delay" in just over an hour then hit the sack. Offense did get very predictable; but GREAT job by the defense last night. Its a win!

won despite a bad performance, a W is a W, blah blah blah. it just really sucks and very frustrating that it had to be on national television! that was not a good showing for our university. the play calling in that game was abhorent! i'm sorry guys, there's no way around that! i think this will be a big wake up call for us and we'll come out firing on all cylinders next week. i'm just glad that wake up call was a bad win and not a loss! go cajuns!

There is a huge difference between complaining about a win and complaining about a performance. Remember that.

true that!

I never implied that the team is going to rollover and quit. We better play much better on offense or we are gonna get our butts beat. Our defense can just do so much OFFENSE . Too bad we can't sit around and jaw cause I think it would be constructive. I will not give up on them. In fact I told the guys I was watching the game with last night " You watch , Bustle doesn't put all his eggs in the first half, wait til the second half" I believe but I believe we can't have another offensive outing like last night or we won't be going to NO.
And Another thing, why are they not utilizing Desormeaux on offenes. This kid is the best all around athlete UL has had since Brian Mitchell. Dez is awesome and fun to watch . Come you have got to agree with me on this.

Later

GEAUX CAJUNS.

I agree. A bad performance is not in question. This team is not the one from a couple years ago, which would have lost that game. This team makes me feel liek they will learn from this and improve. Like someone said, walking out of that game with a win proves we have a good team. And, one side of the ball picking up the other side when one side is not on for the night also proves this is a good team.

The play calling was fine. The execution was awful. Babb had his worst night as a Cajun. Slow and/or wrong on his reads, did not fool anyone with his ball handling, ran like he was scared. Just bad, no way around it. But it wasn't the playcalling.

Watching this game start to finish was like taking medicine... Our play calling was very predictable. Our play by qb and receivers was very sloppy. It was just a terrible football game to watch. We definately need someone on offense to step up besides Fenroy.. Don't get me wrong I am glad we won but we looked like a team that was playing with only 5 to 10 plays to choose from...
