In-Game Thread: Louisiana vs. McNeese

No, which is why they need to pass with him in there as well. He's an adequate passer, certainly in the wildcat formation when most teams will think he's coming in to run. A nice playaction roll out or bootleg would do wonders here and help keep teams off balance and he'd get a lot of single coverage looks to throw to.

As much as I agree with you, he doesn't get enough Saturday snaps to play action pass. Unless he has some precise targets and situations drilled into his mind, I'd rather keep the bulldozer run as his primary option. I have no problem with his short yardage role. But our coaches better know damn well what they're doing with him in play action. I'd rather him in the true wildcat to present defenses with guess work.

Bigger doesn't do anything for you when you can't block anybody and we didn't do a great job early on just like the Boise game. We also allowed them to march down the field on their first possession like we weren't there. Glad you were so sure because when I saw them go up on us early 3rd quarter, I had that feeling like I did when we played La Tech a couple years ago.

Gotcha. i just never got nervous this game. We were clearly better and just had to settle in and play football.

The true wildcat as you mention it doesn't provide any guess work. What type of Saturday snaps does he need to make a bootleg and 6 yard pass? I don't think he's nearly as bad of a passer as some of you do and I think its not like it would be a huge risk but as of right now, everybody who scouts us will know exactly what he's doing when he comes into the game and that really doesn't add anything to the offense nor does it make the Wildcat a valid offensive option.

What? The true wildcat presents a multitude of guess work. Nixon is just a running QB in our use of him. You want him to play as a true QB in play action. I'm saying run a version of the true wildcat with Nixon. It generates massive possibilities for a defense. We agree that his run only assignment isn't fooling anyone.

When the lightning delay started, there was a skirmish of sorts in the upper deck with McNeese fans. Can anyone here explain what happened?

Pig farmers versus dairy farmers. Nasty stuff.

Seemed like our fans gave a hearty applause when they left the stadium. Made me think something had been building up.

Supposedly a UL fan pulled a Mcneese kid off the UL grass area in the north end zone and that didn't go over well with the mcneese parent. That could have been unrelated to what happneed in the mcneese area

What a disgrace that was. UL people even having to parent the Lake Chuck crowd kids. God damn parents need to be parents and discipline their children.

Even more of a reason to bowl that side in.
