Where is Coach Stewart?

[82Cajun]

I see a regression in our defense........

This defense is embarressing.

This defense is embarressing.

It's awful. Really disappointing. Combined with Broadway looking completely lost - we are a bad football team.

Can you imagine what K. Browning is going to do to this defense?

This K state offense is not that special.

And WKU and Troy and The rest of the Sun Belt.

We still have not forced a punt this year.

I think I'll delete this post until a later time.

I think we're fixing to see the character of this football team over the next 20 minutes.
Are there any leaders on this tesam, or are all just along for the ride.

Ok my fellow jheathens and unjwashed fans who dwell without the camp. i am starting to feel like this game is far from over. Let us see who will be our defensive leadership for the season.

Its over.
K State just ran the ball down the field and Cajun D never even got them to a third down situation.

Ok, so now is the time to talk. I agree. Coach Stewart was defensive genius. How he got the blame for any shortcomings last season is beyond my mind. he had these guys ready to play, but called the defensive schemes which were dicdtated to him to call. I have a lot of respect for Hud as anybody who's heard me opine on here knows. But if he's made one mistake in his tenure here, it's getting too much into the defensive side of the football. I think he likes being to conservative on defense. Being to scared to give up the big play is a guaranteed recipe to giving up a ton of little plays. You can play conservative and stretch the field against the Sunbelt and win consistently. Against power conference teams you are the underdog. There is no reason not to go for broke at every single chance. Hud is good at doing that on offense. Not good on defense. Just a fact of life.

I actually said this in the game thread.

Last year I thought that the 10-15 yard cushion on all of the opponemts recievers was Stewart's scheme.

Now we have Willis, an entirely new DC, and are still giving the recievers this huge cushion and allowing them to play catch for 6-12 yard gains every down.

If this in fact is Hud's scheme and he is not willing to let his DC implement their own tactics this will be a roadblock to the major success that we all want for our Ragin Cajuns.

Like many of you, I'm concerned about this year. Just not sure what to expect right now Way too slow coming out of the gate! HATE the soft coverage. BUT, liked their character in the 2nd half. It could have gotten way out of control, but they kept competing. Need a huge effort next week to get some momentum going!

At this rate… Seems like the good news is we may have Hudspeth for the next 10 to 12 years… Or is that good news?…
