In-Game Thread: Louisiana vs. McNeese

Boise is several steps ahead of MSU this year, plus MSU first game post Dak

You do realize we were losing after the half when McNeese took the lead 15-14. At the point...and the way we had looked the previous week...the game easily in question. Again...I want what you guys are smoking. We didn't beat a top 25 FBS team. South Al could have lost by more, and yet they would still have a better resume than we have.

Honestly never worried we'd lose the game after the first 2 possessions. They were overmatched and the it was obvious to me what the outcome would be. Defense needed to get off the field quicker. They were able to keep our offense off of the field for the most part. Score would have been much more lopsided had they not.

Agreed, but we can't erase the errors that kept the BrokeBACKS on the field. Let's make sure we're fixing fixable problems.

I agree. We still need to get better on 3rd down.

S. Thomas is absolute trash! Dude needs to prove me wrong.

Not real impressed either. I think he has the physical tools but he just doesn't have much experience.

I think it's more between the ears with him. If he gets beat on one play it's all downhill from there...feeling sorry for himself the whole time!

The two time outs we smoked on defense the first series had me cussing...

I see what most of you are stating. Besides it being a completely different level of opponent, we did improve from week 1 to 2. But the key to sniffing at a better than .500 season is serious improvement from this point forward. Our best experienced athletes and the very talented inexperienced guys have to start cleaning up play and feeling like an instinctive machine.

Last night's game, although I hate to make out a win against an FCS program as important, may have been what the doctor ordered for our team. I doubt the team feels cocky about it. Lucas has a lot to do to make this defense function better. Jennings is a serious addition to our offense, and we could start seeing some skill talent explode before our eyes.

One hard fought game at a time.

I can't understand after the first couple series how you felt so comfortable about our chances. They were moving the ball at will in both the run and pass and we were showing our same stagnant selves.

No. 10 on defense got burnt on that last series and looked really slow.

That was Goodlet and I was so confused as to why he was starting at the CB spot. McCollum looked really good last week and I figured he and Simeon T would be the starters along with Savion Brown perhaps. They went at him all night. Not sure why he was defending their top WR.

The same way I knew we were out of the Boise game after each teams first possession.
We looked bigger and faster than Mcneese. When they couldn't punch it in 1st and goal from a the 2 was a good indicator.
