GameTalk: New Mexico St. vs. Louisiana

[Just1More]

The fade to Robinson should be called at least once every time we are inside the 20. I think we have thrown it twice all season.

Haack is a stud and should have been the QB all season. We should have called plays like we did in the 2nd half of last nights game all season. If Nixon was truly a team player he would accept his role as either an H Back or be our big RB. He is too talented to keep on the sidelines, but not a good enough quarterback.

To me the biggest problem all season has been misuse of talent and offensive philosophy. We have the players on the roster to average 40 points per game easily against this schedule. Yet we play like Nississippi State and get Mississippi State results. Middle of the pack in the Sun Belt.

You are correct about Haack. For anyone on here still doubting him "you are a football moron". Haack is the most accurate passer in Hud's time at UL. Our staff blew this year up by not focusing heavily on Haack and our wide assortment of receivers. The WRing group has first game coordination... and I blame the staff. The run was so clearly opened up by the pass last night, and yet our staff would still waste opening downs with runs up the middle. All successful runs were started with a deadly passing attack.

As for our defense... it is the oddest high and low point player operation I've ever seen. On any given down there's someone making an individual highlight play while another team mate or two has taken the down off. I don't get why we're having the defensive breakdowns we have at this point in the year. That staff isn't an answer to UL / SBC level defensive talent IMO.

Haack is playing well, and looks to me to be improving. He is not the weak link on the team. There are so many other areas that are lacking, including the coaching.
