NOLA Bowl: Louisiana vs Nevada

[tdncz]

I don't feel good about this match up at all. These boys are good. They will score on every position and quick. We need to keep them off the field

My thoughts exactly.

I thought Nevada was a run heavy team. That would bode well for us.

Don't know their stats so they may look like they are run heavy but their QB is one of the better true dual threat QB's in the entire nation and has been starting for them for several years. He will be the best QB we play all year, hands down. Their offense will have a major advantage over our defense and if we don't get disciplined real quick, it could get ugly for us. We NEED to run the ball and control the clock..... Period

Their only "bad" loss was to Fresno State -- by 20.
The other 4 losses (to Arizona, Boise St, CO St, and AFA - all GOOD teams) were by one score.

And most would agree that loss is to a solid program who played in the MWC championship game and is one season removed from a wonderful season. That 20 point loss may look bad for them but its not as bas as our debacle against Tech

Why would Notre Dame want this?? They are not that good and i see them having huge issues stopping lsuwho running game

Because they are that arrogant and wouldn't want to play a team that is not significant in the CFB landscape. It would be beneath them to go play someone not nameworthy in the P5

QB Cody Fajardo is the real deal. We will more than have our hands full with him.

I won't be a bit surprised if we are double digit underdogs.

[sportsfanatic21]

I just looked up the point spread.

Nevada is -1

Wow. I'd expect that line to move significantly from now until game time. If you want to wager on the Cajuns, wait a week or so.

I've watched the Wolfpack several times this year. They don't quit. Quarterback gets ball to his receivers in clutch situations and many time scampers for long runs. Our defense will have to do something that they are not accustomed to doing, stay in position and protect angles.

LSU vs Notre Dame in Music City Bowl???? Ewwww that will be an ugly boring game.

That will draw 60,000 fans

[cajunhawk]

That will draw 60,000 fans

Reported 60,000...20,000 will maybe show up and it will consist of about 1,000 die hard tiger fans and 19,000 drunk Irish people.

After looking through their stats, I think we will have success running the football. If we can crank up a solid rushing attack then we should be able to score enough to keep things close.
