Broadway leaves his mark

Which begs the question, why is he continually run out there? Hudspeth's job is to win games. If he didn't think TB was our best option, why is he still putting him out there? Is Haack in the doghouse or is he not ready to play the college game? What is it?

No, Hud marries himself to people. He was gunna ride his guy all the way through, for better or worse. But you are right that it should be noted that Hud clearly doesn't trust Brooks Haack. We may be in for a long one in 2016.

I think Hud chooses experience.

I think Hud chooses experience.

And I don't want to sound ridiculous here. I understand why Hud went with TB this year. He's been the driver of this train. I get it. And this was supposed to be THE year. It would be very difficult to start Haack. He would have taken heat for it too. And hindsight is 20/20. A lot of it is unfortunate timing..

---He was our #2 and started against USA---HUD has trusted him with the keys to the car

I would guess that after that poor performance, Nixon overcame him in the depth chart!!

Then his fcuking arse should be sitting. You can't be a QB that can't THROW the damn football. I understand that the guy is probably playing with a jacked up arm, but it cost us dearly this year. Had we played a real schedule we would not be bowl eligible. And all these jacklegs that keep bringing up bowling.. and Nelson Stokely didn't get to a bowl.. THERE ARE 76 FREAKING spots for teams in bowls in 2014! Thats more than half of the teams in D1.. We SHOULD be in a bowl. my goddddd

I wasn't commenting on Hud's choice at QB, just the a holes being critical of TB.

I think haack is a different QB than last year, although the sample size is tiny I think Nixon has the potential to be our over the hump QB.

If Haack would not have came in and won the game against Georgia State the loss Saturday would not sting so much because the Cajuns would have been out of the Conference Championship race a long time ago.

I realize that TB threw the DUCK that scored the TD, but lets be honest, the plays that Haack made to drive the Cajuns down the field are not plays that TB has been able to make all season.

Bottom line about option QB's.

If they don't or won't run the ball and they can't throw it effectively for whatever reason, then they shouldn't be in the game.

And before you go there, I said the same thing about Babb and Desmo.

Babb passed for 460y in a game.

Desormeaux had a 400x100 game.

The only thing that ever stopped those two from passing was Bustle.

More heat than he took for benching a healthy productive Gautier his senior year?

Just might see Eli behind center next year

I believe this to be true.

Nixon should take over for Harris to open it up for Mcguire.

With Robinson back, a developed Al Riles and Gabe Fuselier back, we need to put Haack back there to make this offense wide-freakin open and unbelievably dangerous.

Defenses won't know what to do with us.
