How can Bustle not know if he has a redshirt year available?
As UL defensive coordinator Kevin Fouquier watched film this week, the play of Kent State running back Eugene Jarvis kept him from looking away.
UL coach Rickey Bustle found himself under the same trance while viewing game film of the Golden Flashes (1-2).
The coaches agree that Jarvis is without question the man the Cajuns (0-2) must find a way to stop in today's 6 p.m. Herbert Heymann Football Classic at Cajun Field. Carrying 170 pounds on his 5-foot-5 frame, Jarvis lacks size but packs a big punch statistically as the nation's leading returning rusher with nearly 1,700 yards last season.
"I haven't seen a lot of him, but he looks like he has pretty good speed," Bustle said. "He's got good feet. He's kind of a scat guy. I'm not even sure how big he is.
"Heck, you're talking about a guy who I think led the nation in rushing last year, so you know he can run the ball."

LAFAYETTE — Will Rickey Bustle have as much fun watching his University of Louisiana football team play today as he did last Saturday?
That’s what Bustle hopes as UL meets Kent State in the season home opener set for 6 p.m. today at Cajun Field.
Bustle said he practically became a spectator at Illinois when UL rallied in the fourth quarter during a 20-17 loss.
“It was probably the most fun I’ve had on the sidelines, just watching (ULL) go out and play with the determination and enthusiasm that they had,” Bustle said. “To see this team raise the bar on their performance level was something I really enjoyed.”
This time UL (0-2) is hoping to record its first win in 2008 against a Kent State team that is 1-2.

With Fenroy being a perennial 1000 yard rusher I would have guessed Bustle had a handle on the rushing leaders from last year.
Also can someone change the online headline? It should read "Kent State gets big things from a small package." The hard copy has a headline that matches the story.
"Bustle said he practically became a spectator at Illinois when ULL rallied in the fourth quarter during a 20-17 loss."
I didnt know the head coach was just supposed to spectate a game, shouldnt he be coaching or motivating?
They got that mixed up. Actually Bustle was a spectator against Southern Miss. Honest mistake.

I am trying to watch the game, but it won't let me register. Anyone know how to get access?
I finally got in. Why is this game in black and white? How do you enlarge the screen?
Is it malfunctioning or is it my computer? Unless the game is stopped due to bad weather, time has frozen in the Swamp!
I believe that he was a spectator. That is the reason why the team did as well as they did. Maybe he should sit in the stands next time. To me, it couldn't hurt their record.
