Did he launch himself?

Did he launch himself?

I'd call it that. More like he launched through him, but yeah I'd call it a launch.

It looks like a penalty given the new sensibilities, but I would say the ejection was unwarranted.

Think Ronnie Lott in 100% of his hall of fame hits.

I just watched the replay. He hits him with his shoulder. Patt's helmet never hits the reciever. He does hit him high, but first contact is below the helmet. I don't know how the rule is stated, but it was not helmet to helmet.

He hammered that dude.

Link please or time stamp so I can skip straight to that play!

It was at the 2:49 mark of my DVR'd copy from Cox4.

We might want to get used to this. That cat blew someone up in the backfield on a run in the Florida game.


I had gone to get a beverage, and when I got back saw him leaving the field. I asked my buddy, "what did he do hit someone too hard?" He said, "yep."

The refs were losing control of the game. South Alabama was getting more and more desperate and playing dirty and the Cajuns were responding in kind. The quick ejection may have been an attempt by the refs to get the game back to a more manageable level.

They brought out the team captains during the time out. I guess to tell them things had to improve. The truth is I have no idea who did and did not deserve all the penalties, and I do not know if they were goaded into creating them. I do know that hard clean licks were being delivered by both teams.

I also know that UL cannot have sustained drives. Hud is absolutely going to have to talk to Peoples and Broadway. These two guys are forcing the defense back onto the field before they can even reach the oxygen mask.

Patt "launched" himself high. That will be a flag 100% of the time. Not sure about the ejection though. I agree with some previous points that the previous personal fouls may have had something to do with it. Bad thing is, Patt will have to sit out the next game as well.

Great night for the Cajuns though. It was great for all the seniors to get in. Thomas getting to throw a pass, Yobes getting a TD, even Saunders getting the final snap at QB. And what can you say about 17? That was one of my favorite moments as a Cajun fan (his TD pass on the first play), and I've been around for quite a while. Let's go beat the crap out of FAU, and whoever dares to show up in NOLA on Dec. 22!! My guess is Rice, and we will destroy that team! Another fantastic weekend in the Big Easy awaits! Geaux Cajuns!!
