Final: ULM (24) vs Louisiana (30)

[ManAboutTown]

Again, we were never, at any point, down 3 possessions when Brooks stepped on the field.

We missed the 2 point conversion..
Because our NFL receiver won't catch the football..

3 possessions

And if that's your only argument, well idk..

Down 3 possessions for the "win".

[CajunEXPRESS]

Two possessions in that weather is not a picnic. Good thing we had special teams sucrose.

Of course you can say 3 possessions....after the fact. When a team has the ball and are down 8 points with a minute left, I've never heard a single person ever say such team is down 2 possessions.

Serious question: is a 2-point conversion considered a possession? If so, I'll gladly say in wrong.

I'll give you that. 2 possessions.
It was still impressive, especially the dagger to ice the game.

Were you not entertained?

I'll let you guys continue to debate the quarterback, the coaches, the receivers, the play calling and everything else.

Someone made a post during the game how bad our special teams suck.

Tonight we had a blocked punt, out punted (net) our opponent 41 yds to 22 and had a 37 yard punt return. Going into the game, I thought it was the biggest advantage over ULM that we had. To their credit, they showed it.

Yes, we allowed a long kickoff return, dropped a snap which resulted in a short punt (weather had everything to do with that) but we took advantage of our advantage and honestly, I think the punt game won the game for us.

And, it's time to give the defense some credit. Other than the drive that resulted in the missed FG, ULM did NOTHING...NOTHING on offense in the second half.

And props to Haack. Before the TD pass to Robinson, his passing numbers were worse than Nixon's. But he made a great throw in that weather. The other two QB's on the field didn't have that capability.

It's not about stats, it's about points. The Cajuns got 21 with Haack as QB. I gave Nixon plenty of credit (that some of you didn't want him to have...be honest) for generating points earlier this season.

Haack gave them the spark they needed....no question. He showed great leadership.

Unfortunately, those big plays were more of a feeling of relief! Haha

Jay, what is the average starting field position for cajun opponents on kickoffs for the year? The punter is vety good but other than that the special teams is not good.

All of those stats that you rambled off were against a 1-6 ULM.

Absolutely

We didn't want to give Nixon the credit at QB...BECAUSE HE ISN'T ONE. No one think Nixon isn't a great player...we just know he is being misused. You fail to grasp that simple fact, while at the same deriding us for seeing the obvious.

And really, the defense wasn't awful in the first half. 2 of ULMs touchdowns came on 4th down, and were outstanding play calls and execution by them.

Of course you folks fail to mention who they lost to:
Alabama
Georgia
Georgia State
App State

surely you agree those are pretty good teams
