2014 Louisiana (20) vs La. Tech (48)

I will not argue with you that the team quit. But to answer your question about what we did after the 99 yard play, long touchdown drive to score a TD to tie the game.

So then don't bring up the 99 yard play as the deciding factor.

Why not...it was the first sign of life Tech had and before that play seemed listless. Is there a problem you have with us discussing causality?

LT was 6 of 15 on 3rd downs. The Cajuns were 8 of 17. It sure felt like LT did better than that.

TDs on a 99 & 36 yard run, 78 yard TD pass and a 46 yard INT.

You know what else they did? Not
Much.

Because we had plenty of time and chances to change that and we didn't. You realize we were the 2 td favorites at home right? It that play was such an anomaly, why did we have 2 more in the same game. We got our azzes handed to us, we picked up late garbage time scores. If the starters stay in the whole game I only see the score being worse. With or without the 99 yard run. I hope the whole game was an anomaly, maybe tech is a lot better with a competent QB and good DC than we think they are. It was a busted play I. The first half, we lost by 4 touchdowns and it wasn't even that close.

If a building is a solid structure and a well placed explosive at the base of the foundation causes a slow degradation of the building until collapse...you wouldn't say the building was going to collapse eventually. Throwing causality out the window is not a smart move.

The exact same play was run by Tech earlier in the game on the 4th down try we stuffed. Let's say we stuff that run and force them to punt from their endzone. We were gaining yards in bunches already just not cashing in. It was only a matter of time before the flood gates opened. Diaz was not blitzing at the beginning of the game. Our team was not prepared at all for this to be a dog fight, or a blow out on the wrong side of the ball. But you cannot turn a blind eye to how much that 99 yard run affected the game.

If Peyton manning doesn't miss the first snap of the Super Bowl the broncos win, that's what that sounds like.

You know who we needed Saturday night?

Blaine Gautier

A true gunslinger with a canon for an arm.

You still don't get it. You think that didn't have any effect on the outcome of the game? You cannot bake a cake and not know what ingredients went into making it. A game is the sum of it's parts...not a monolith.

No you don't get it, there were over a 100 something plays and you are trying to say the 48-20 beat down came down to 1 play. If anything the play right out the 2nd half was worse than the 99 yard run.

But...and here is where you need to pay attention...without the 99 yard run...does that long pass play happen?
