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

[cajun4ever]

Tech set the tone of this game from the get go.

1. Carter got crushed in the face on the kickoff.
2. McGuire ran off right tackle and got blown up on the first drive. I think he may have been concussed. Got up wobbly.

They came to play. We were not expecting to get punched in the mouth. We recovered briefly but big plays KO'd us.

An early game injury prevented UL from using standout running back Elijah McGuire more against Louisiana Tech than it did, Ragin' Cajuns coach Mark Hudspeth suggested Monday.

After rushing 13 times for a game-high 129 yards and one touchdown in a season-opening win over Southern, McGuire was limited to 15 yards on seven carries against in last Saturday night's 48-20 loss to the Bulldogs.

We were out-coached... period. Tech is not better, athlete for athlete. They were both better prepared, mentally and technically, for this game. Period. Both of those preparation qualities fall on the coaching staff. It absolutely is that simple.

And there is no way of getting this program higher than the flat line we've experienced the past three years, until and unless, we get some cerebral application of football added to our physical concentration effort... and the giant result we keep expecting out of emotional hype. We need some smarter Xs and Os.

Hell WE are a good example of this. 2 years ago Ark State took us apart. We didn't do anything well. Then we went to ULM as an underdog and won and then almost beat Florida. ____ happens.

That's all we need... just some ____ to happen. I don't think we even need to work on anything at all. We just need to sling our ____ while they sling their ____... and see what ____ happens.

I'm glad we got all of our ____ worked out, including this apparent ____ that was in the heads of our fans. It is just a ____ happens game. You ____, they ____, you sort threw the ____ at the end of the game... and just take the ____ they gave you... and move your ____ to the next game. No need to get in a ____ and ____ over it. ____ will happen and then the next ____ will happen.

Cajuns plan to work way back after blowout loss Trying to put Saturday night's 48-20 upset loss to Louisiana Tech in the rearview mirror, Mississippi-raised UL Mark Hudspeth turned to his roots Monday.

We could not get off the field on 3rd downs...a common problem for this defense the past 3 years.

Longer than 3 years.......

Good lord settle down that's not what I meant. We played like crap against Ark State. It looked like we couldn't do anything. We started bad, and it snowballed. Within two games we had beaten a bowl bound ULM and nearly beaten 2nd ranked Florida. We then ran the table and won a bowl. If you looked at that ark state game you would have thought we we had the worst coaches in the game of football. I'm saying let's see how they react, they have righted the ship in the past. I'm concerned about the fact every year we seem to lay a similar egg....but right now I only care about seeing the ship righted.

I'm very settled down. I just had to take your ____ and give you some of my ____ back.

I'm tired of this "ship righting" activity. We're navigating a ship in waters we should be very good, by now, at navigating. We need to quit hitting icebergs and expecting the UL Titanic to keep getting the passengers to the other port of call. I don't blow off hitting icebergs with the comfort that the last iceberg didn't sink the ship.

Instead of "seeing how they react"... I'd like to see the captain admit he doesn't know an iceberg from a whitecap, and go back and study up on big huge blocks of ice, and how to detect and navigate around them. You can't always blast your way through treacherous waters with big biceps and a bull horn.

The Cajuns offense fell noticeably flat in Saturday’s 48-20 loss to Louisiana Tech without explosive playmakers like sophomore running back Elijah McGuire and Jamal Robinson in the game.

Robinson exited after a 12-yard catch in the second quarter. McGuire didn’t leave until early in the second half, but coach Mark Hudspeth said he hurt himself on one of the first couple of plays of the game.

Senior center Terry Johnson was surprised when he didn’t see a big, fat ‘D’ attached to his name after coaches graded out the film from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s 48-20 loss to Louisiana Tech last week.

Johnson’s individual performance graded out better than he expected, but he still felt like he failed in Saturday’s game thanks to the offensive line’s difficulties.

Uhh, we were flat even with them in there.

Offense didn't even pretend to throw down field after Jamal got hurt. James Butler was apparently wearing an invisibility cloak.
