CAJUNS WIN!!!!!
8 in a row!!!!!
Between brachle and Hartley, my affinity for kickers has reached record depths!!!
I like to use military examples, regardless of whether this is as important as war. When you come back from the enemy lines, and you've lost soldiers, do you say, "oh well... it wasn't pretty... and we made some mistakes... but since we killed more of them than they killed of us... all is good?". Answer: No, you don't. You look for things you may not be doing as good as you could, and you try the next time to accomplish the mission without so much damage. I like to think of football this way. As much as I like to throw young men into battle and win. I don't like dismissing a few deaths as "acceptable losses". And good football programs and coaches treat the game exactly this way. Our defensive scheme sucks right now. And even if we win out, it still sucks and needs to improve.
8-2!!! Woohoo!!! Geaux Cajuns!!!
I agree with you when it comes to our scheme. I don't understand it and I haven't understood it since week 1 against Arkansas. It's frustrating as hell to me. But I'm not a football coach either. I trust HUD's judgement way more I trust mine or yours or anyone else's. And I trust him to make the right adjustments if or when he feels they need to be made. Maybe they've seen that we're just way too weak in the secondary to put 6 men in the box. I don't know. But I'm not going to turn into one of those LSU fans who calls for Les Miles' head after a 7-0 start after winning a close game. The wins are still coming so I'll shut up.
I will say I think we'll need to come up with something better if we want to beat Browning in two weeks.
No one should have expected us to hold GA state to any less than 14 points. Their offense isn't that bad and our defense isn't that good.
You don't see me calling for someone's head. I don't look at the score and decide whether we did or didn't do a good job in every assignment, down and series. I look at each and every single detail. When I see a detail not contributing to the overall system, whether the system can sustain it or not, I work on improving the detail. I expect that out of Hud.
And yes... what I saw wasn't as disconcerting when thinking about GA St. I am concerned about Browning and ULM. If we were going to get in a bigger pass rush drill, we needed to do it with GA St. I think we can now expect a similar defensive scheme against ULM. I hope our offense is up for another day of being spectacular... and it doesn't come down to a field goal to win it.
I think we're all smart enough to understand that 8 in a row is special, and these are special times with this program. But if you're not concerned about some things, you're just lying to yourself and I won't apologize for voicing that concern. We have problems on defense. Schematically or personnel, whatever the case may be, you can't just throw a blanket statement over this squad (took care of business) and pretend like we don't. That's naive and good teams will take advantage of these short comings.
Congrats Cajuns on another win!! D looked bad, but have faith it's going to come back. Now stop the complaining you sound like an LSU fan. 8 Wins Sweet!!!
