Final: Louisiana (27) vs A-State (37)

[LifeTimeCajun]

It's obvious to me this coaching staff is out to prove a point...this is the offense we wanna run, and this is the style in which we are gonna do it. And probably believe that the only way Eli will be affective is with a duel threat QB.

My personal five take aways from the game
1. Jalen Nixon is playing Hurt
2. Jamal Robinson is garbage when will he run a true route Gabe is the only receiver running hard routes
3. The Prophet will not survive this season with the play calling.
4. Defense is improving started slow but doing better
5. Jay Johnson is a joke state spread us out all night to open up the run was he even watching that He bunched us up all night allowing them to put 8-10 in the box then run up the middle

I speak for no one else jmo but I am encouraged I saw some fight when we could have packed it in early.

I see this as well. They wanted to run Eli up the middle regardless of yardage gained. All the time. Just think if the started really using Eli in the FIRST quarter we might have won.

The problem I have is the reaction afterward.

Kids laughing seconds afterward, like it's no big deal.

Hud with Travis Webb is like, "So proud of our effort, almost came back, played pretty solid in the second half... like this was no big deal.

Guess what? We don't go to a bowl next year, either. This hurts the program more deeply than it feels right now.

There's a culture now that's okay with ULMost.

So we'll ULMost beat ULMost, and be so proud of the fight in these kids.

Ricky Bustle had some 6-6 teams that fought hard, too.

We didn't just ULMost beat the Alabama ________ Crimson Tide, man. These guys barely beat Idaho.

But... so proud.

He said it 3 times in less than a minute.

So proud.

Yea, I get it. It sucks to lose. It sucks worse when your used to winning. So we are having the first down year in 5 years with this staff. Is that really a reason to jump off the ship? Answer me this, did you really expect a conference championship with all the personnel we lost from last years team? Make no mistake about it, this is a rebuilding year. We are not a program that can reload. We have a very young team that will likely lose a few more before all is said and done, but the future is still bright.

In a zone read offense... Is every throw suppose to be a back shoulder throw or jump ball? And is Hitting a reciever in stride just a thing to do in a pro style type offense?

signs of limited coaching ability when you force your style offense, rather than fit the offense to the talent you have. This year is truly sickening from what I see from coaches. Someone tell the OC and HUD that Alonzo is no longer with us!

Yep! Wanted Nixon the whole time. Hang Haack out to dry and bring Nixon and never look back.

Yes I saw that coming last year. Hud never did like Haack. I know Haack is kicking himself for signing with this team.

[Stabil123]

Give credit to (Nixon),” Hudspeth said of the redshirt junior making just his third career start.

“He started slow, shook the interception off, and came back to have a great second half … and brought back our team into the game. Proud of him.”
