[NewsCopy]

1 WHAT WE LEARNED The Cajuns are learning how to use their depth. We wrote last week about how they were using their defensive substitutions to their advantage, and they looked like they had refined that skill in Saturday's demolition of New Mexico Stat.

The problem is that it took us 10 games to figure out how to use Jared Johnson. I've been screaming for 6 weeks for us to use him more in the redzone and let him go get balls with his height advantage. It seemed that we only wanted to do that with Jamal but we've got some height at WR and we need to use it.

One thing I never really expected was to just brutally wear teams down like we're doing. This, for the longest time, was not possible as we were never the biggest team and certainly were never really physical as it appears we are now. Even defensively, we are just beating people up and getting pressure on the QB. Now that we're not giving up all the big plays, our run defense has been much more stout and we've stifled some really good offenses the last few weeks.
