I mean who knew that mcguire would muff the punt and give them the ball inside the 10? Oline injuries lead to inconsistent play and stripped sack of jennings. qb and wr coordination was OFF. wr cut when jennings thought he would throw it back shoulder and other interception came when it looked like wr crossing had no idea ball would even come his way. Gabe finally gets in to play and misses easy catch which would have been first down and I think we had to punt. Artigue suprised a lot of us when he went perfect. Looks like our players/coaches got lazy this week in practice and the playcalling went along with that.

Don't forget their kicker made his career long fg to send it to the 4th ot.

I thought turnovers were the problem? Now it's a kicker making a fluke kick from 48 yards? You have to blame the coaching staff eventually. You will run out of bull____ excuses eventually.

Did not expect that. Both kickers had good games

Would there have been OT without -3 turnover margin? I'm betting no.

I have no dog in this fight over Huds credibility. He does things that I question as well. Our team played well, but turnovers killed us. If you didn't know points would be at a premium going in to this game, you weren't paying attention. We coulda done this, shoulda done that, but the bottom line is we have them easy points on turnovers.

We weren't -3 in the turnover margin.

Turnovers did not cause our football team to lose the game.

we turned it over 4 times they turned it over once.

They turned over twice. 2nd was the punt block. That we tgen wasted by running everyone's favorite play 3 times.

Had we won in 4OT would you still be an emotional wreck?


I suppose where we differ is I see the 4 turnovers as the reason we lost. That wasn't on Hud. Did he call a perfect game, hell no. But the players have to execute.

I'm just back on from celebrating a niece's birthday... but to jump in on your question to Hawk... I absolutely guarantee you that I'd say the exact same things even had we inched out the win last night. You know, from my posts over the past few years, that I'm not the least bit impressed with all of our close wins over bad teams. And I wouldn't have last night's either. We are a coaching clown show with Hud as the head clown.

The only thing I'll agree with you is that Tulane has a solid inside the hash marks defense. If we knew how to stay on a blocking assignment, they were no match for our sideline to sideline speed. Our coaches didn't see that. Our coaches didn't notice what you did. They didn't see that Tulane could protect the middle like a vault door. Our coaches ran head first into that vault door. If I can't call that a bad name, I can't tell the truth. It was a coaching clown show. You're smarter than to think we just went up against a tough Tulane team. Our coaches failed our athletes. Pure and simple. Our athletes made some mistakes. And they recovered well from those mistakes. Then the coaching clown show set them up to lose.
