When it comes to the UL Ragin' Cajuns' offense, there was mostly satisfaction expressed after a 40-0 season-opening win over Lamar on Saturday night.

Yep...this Saturday we'll be trying to score against a REAL defense.

Troy gave up almost 500 yds to UAB. With a little bit of persuasion by HUD, I think we will be okay.

I had not realized that their D was so porous last week. I guess I was assuming it just HAD to be better than Lamar's, which was pretty bad.

I think Lamar (and our offensive peformance) may have been the best thing to prepare for Troy ... HUD will have these fellas motivated to play!

Blaine was not sharp last week. Overall an average performance. I look forward to having my concerns eased this weekend.

Some of those passes Blaine threw last week would have been picks against a Troy secondary. Hope he cleans it up. I believe he will. The guy is a gamer. He always steps up in the big situation! Looking forward to this game very much!

Just curious, how good is UAB this year? I'm wondering if this is more of a testament to Troy's (lack of) defense or UAB's offense

It's a stretch to extrapolate outcomes from other games. How we match up with Troy this weekend has little to do with UL's or Troy's prior contests. I also don't look at any past contests between our programs to evaluate this match up. My gut feeling tells me this will be a battle to the very end. I believe the game will be decided on the last score inside of 3 minutes.

If you are correct and the game comes down to the final drive I like our chances. I would put the cajun two minute offense and Baer's leg up against any defense in the belt when the game is on the line.
