I see a coaching staff coming apart at the seems.

Completely agree. 100% of the loss falls on the coaches. Hud failed his defensive players by not being more aggressive offensively. The OT offensive playbook should have been used all game.

I will say this, IF the defense comes to play each game the rest of the season like they did during regulation this past Saturday night, we will have a legit shot to win every game left on the schedule.

Big if, but the past two games have given some encouragement on the defensive side of the ball. First time in a long time.

We MUST get a handle on the turnovers, though.

We need a handle on coaching decisions.

The problem is it's a long season and with injuries likely to happen we as what other mid majors don't have is depth on defense, so eventually we will have to win with offense.

I'd agree with you on Texas State and Georgia Southern. Those are two option teams that aren't going to pass a whole lot. Everyone else is going to roast us deep like cheap meat.

We still can't defend a competent passing team. We got beat by the pass from #128 in the FBS passing game.

Yes and no. Yes, they got beat by a team that passed to win, but no, I could see where the defense was "lulled" into a safe feeling because Tulane was being dominated by the defense. They inserted the passing guy and he went to work. Should they have been prepared for it, yes. They didn't adjust to it (which involves coaching).

No No No No.....most are completely wrong about our defense!!!!

Tulane is an effing terrible team that has not learned how to run the option yet. We sold out and stopped the "makeshift" half arse attempt at an option. What our defense did do though is turn Tulane into a prolific passing team. They went from 35-50 yards a game passing to looking like Louisville, hitting us with bomb after bomb.

Our offense could've crushed them as you can see how easy it was for us to move it in the 1st qtr. What happens between our coaching staff's ears is beyond me. It's embarrassing to watch the play calling and I don't want to be seen in public wearing Cajun gear after watching our db's attempt to be ANYWHERE IN THE VACINITY OF THE THROWN BALL.

The outlook is horrible. Win that game and an eight win season looks great. Now we're lucky to win five.
