Hudspeth says Cajuns offense has to ‘get it going’

[Bandwagon King]

Statistics lie. Our PPG given up by our defense going down over the past 3 years was due to an ever increasing rushing attack that gobbled up clock and kept other teams off the field. We've also had some really good special teams play and won the field position battle. You are right about our defense... but to say this defense has gotten better... is not true. We have individual heroics at times... but the Stewart and Willis defensive schemes pull a huge vacuum.

Where we actually aren't too bad is in the red zone. Once we've run out of room in the backfield... our LBs and safeties play up... we can no longer give WRs a cushion... we aren't all that bad. You'd think our coaches would say, "damn... we don't do too bad once we get up in opponent's grills... exemplified by our red zone stances... we just suck when we drop back in this pathetic prevent nonsense... let's stop this ____ and start playing red zone stances up and down the field!".

So you got that figured out do ya? with evidence to boot? And you also know the coaches probably aren't going to listen to a word someone like you has to say even though you are absolutely correct with pretty much irrefutable scientific evidence to back it up. and people wonder why fans get so frustrated. I love fall. At least it's getting cooler outside.

Statistically, this isn't true. Our PPG average given up on defense has gone down each of the last 3 years into the mid 20's which is respectable although not great. This year's defense may skew that statistic quite a bit since we are staring 35 PPG given up right in the eyes but we've technically been better the last few years which has allowed us to win more of the close games. The problem on defense is not generating a pass rush of any kind and setting the edge allowing opposing backs to run free on the outside. This, however, has been a problem the last couple of years and I few it won't get better any time soon.

Last year our stats were so good because our opponents sucked ditch water. Even our money games were against the underachieving bumbs of the P-5.

Was that under Pry? Now at Penn State.

Yes and Brent was fired for having the best defense since the good Stokley years.

Bustle sealed his fate and never recovered.
