QB Position Up for Grabs

[Red Stick]

I seen the news clip as well. It did not mention Blaine Gauthier from Lutcher. I seen him once in high school and left very impressed. How's his progress after being red-shirted?

ESPN2 College Gameday did a profile on Kansas St yesterday and interviewed Coach Bill Snyder. The are returning 7 starters on each side of the ball. Would love to see the Cajuns pull the big upset.

_ Pretty sad when the BATON ROUGE NEWS has better coverage of the Cajuns than Lafayette news.

WE had the #7 rush defense last year?!?!?!?! Sure could have fooled me! _

Like the coverage, but WHY do you think the first two passes thrown were INT's? That part wasn't too cool, but at least it was some coverage.

I can't wait to see Blain, Gulf Breeze and all the QBs under center.

_ I believe it states the #7 rush offense. _

listen to the whole video... he says at the end, "#7 against the run".

Well, that excellent coverage was wrong. The Cajuns ranked 111th in the nation in rushing defense last year (213.25 yards per game). UL had, unfortunately, one of the worst defenses in the country last year.

If anything it would be 7th in the nation in run OFFENSE----with Des and Fen I think this could have happened!!!!

Don't you guys worry about Gautier. He has looked really good in the spring and by far made the most plays of any of the QB's. I look forward to seeing him in the fall. He has gained what looks to be a good 10-15 pounds since coming here already and he practices hard. This guy will be a gamer and I predict he will start at some point in the season.

I like that we have 3 game guys competing for the QB role. There is no doubt that each has continued to work hard to win the starting spot. That benefits the team all the way around. Hopefully, someone will emerge early on, in the coach's mind. It is also important, at that key moment... once all 3 have given it their all... and in advance of grooming around the chosen guy... to get that guy installed.

I so look forward to having many more of our offensive weapons get an opportunity to play a contributing role. The more combinations and permutations of assets you deploy, the more each will contribute. That is how the winning game is played these days.

The BIG difference between last season's defense and those that preceded it during the previous decade was the impact of injuries. I saw the defense play fine at several points in the season and I was left with the belief it could have been far better with just a little luck (i.e. fewer injuries). The personnel and coaching were there.

By the way I have never in all my years seen a school's entire Fall/Spring sports season so adversely affected by injuries.

Mrs G, we know you are high on your sons abilities...He will be a very good player for us...Right now, Mr McGuire is "the man"... That repaired sports hernia has him now in top notch condition. He will be hard to beat.

A mothers love for her son is something special, ain't it???
