  UL unveiled its version of the "Wild Hog" offense made famous last season by the University of Arkansas and running back Darren McFadden.

Wide receiver Jason Chery, a speedster who played running back in high school, took four snaps out of the shotgun against FAU. The senior gained 14 yards on four carries in the formation.

  FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Through all the twists and turns of an up-and-down 2008 college football season, Rickey Bustle had shown a wide range of emotions. But UL's seventh-year head coach encountered a first this year after Saturday's 40-29 loss at Florida Atlantic.

He used the dreaded "E-word" after watching his banged-up Cajuns give up the game's first 19 points and trail the defending Sun Belt champion Owls at the half, 26-7.

"I was embarrassed with the way we played in the first half," Bustle said. "I don't know if they came out here thinking they were going to walk through these guys.

"If we play like we did tonight (Saturday) we've got a rough two weeks ahead of us."

 U L — How does struggling team still win a conference championship and become bowl eligible?

If you’re the University of Louisiana football team, just think about the future.

The Cajuns lost a chance to remain in undisputed possession of first place in the Sun Belt Conference on Saturday, following a 40-29 loss at Florida Atlantic.

Despite the loss which ULL coach Rickey Bustle called “embarrassing,” ULL (5-5, 4-1) can still win the league championship and possibly earn a bowl berth for the first time since 1970.

The Cajuns fell into a first-place tie with Troy (6-4, 4-1), which hosts UL this Saturday at Movie Gallery Stadium.

That contest will decide whether UL or Troy has at least a share of the title at the end of the season.

FAU can also obtain a share of the title by winning their last two conference games (at Arkansas State and Florida International).

I'm sorry but FAU has 2 conf losses and if either us or Troy win out that would leave us with 1 conf loss.

Last time I checked a 1 loss team wins over a 2 loss team.

The engineer that runs the TRAIN is hobbling and the lost of 4 linebackers tough for any team to overcome. Who put the voodoo on us?
