_ Well, you can't tell me you were that much more confident that we'd win with all of the injuries. Nobody that follows this team could tell me they fet extremely confident that we'd be in this position without 4 LB's. I truly didn't expect for us to win especially with a RS Freshman at QB but the D really stepped up and played well tonight. This team has great character! _

I honestly was confident that we would win. I didn't think we would win this type of game only giving up 16 pts on defense but I did think we would win this. I felt something different with this team and didn't think they would except losing and that was the case.

I guess it a habit since I deal with LSU vs USC and Crackheads vs Coke on a daily basis. I just got on a kick trying to prove LSU fans wrong and they keep giving me more variables to compare them to USC. And it hasnt worked in their favor yet. I just like using number to prove my points. It gives me something to do in my free time.

You must have WAY TOO much free time then!

I agree, working for the state gives me entirely 2 much free time. However, I have always been a numbers person because numbers prove my point most of the time.

I thought those of you who were not at the game tonight might like to see the video I took of the final play of the game. Oh, that's Max, my 9 year old nephew and a certified rabid Ragin Cajun fan, at the end of the video.

I'm with you Z, I was not overly confident going into this game. With the injuries on Defense, our starting QB out, I had a bad feeling about this game going in but wow! We played like the best team in the conference tonight. Best game I've been to in the Swamp since the A&M game. I'm still jazzed.

I was next to the tunnel after the game and Brad McGuire and Rickey Bustle hugged and both were crying and that pretty much sealed that it seems like we got that big game monkey off of our back. Rickey's got alot of negatives but you've got to give him credit for getting players, not kids on the field. I mean to have back up linebackers and a QB playing the way they did tonight. That's good recruiting. I don't think you can deny that. We are bigger, faster, and stronger than any Cajun team we've seen in the past 10-15 years. I got a chance to see some of these guys up close and they are men. period.

[ULtimateCajun]

I was on the hill on that endzone and I was crapping my pants! haha

Just shows Brad McGuires character as a QB to throw a pick six with 7 min. left in the fourth to come back and lead the winning drive. He was on the field during pregame stretch pumping everyone up. He's young and has a long road but he's a leader, you can tell.

I was almost field level and ASU's D ends were TALL! I don't know why we were even trying that play not once but twice. With a frosh QB in a big game like this I thought they would call passing plays that he had the highest percentage of being successful. By calling those plays they weren't helping Brad's confidence by asking him to throw over a 6'12 D end to a 6'1 WR three yards away.

I wish we would have tried more passing plays over 5 yards. The kids got an arm, let him use it at least once or twice.

But hey we won! we've got a bye week to get healthy! and we are 3-0 in conf.! wow.

[ULtimateCajun]

I was ready to hang my head on that play thinking it was a unsuccessful end and around and he had what looked like 12 white jerseys on top of him. Then he threw it! what a play! It's one of those, it's a great play if it works, but terrible if it doesn't.

[ULtimateCajun]

This was my best UL football experience of my life.

The weather was perfect, the crowd was loud, the game was AWESOME!, and the outcome was in our favor!

Great Day!

Great Win!

Geaux Cajuns!
