Cajuns Drop Overtime Heartbreaker To Aggies, 37-31

[CajunSaint08]

Your suggestion and which offense, the Zone Read they ran with Nixon or the Spread with Jennings? I'm okay with a change, but unlike you I don't believe it will change the results on the field.

You are probably right in that it won't change the results on the field. However, one of the main reasons given at the beginning of the season for Jennings at QB over Davis is Jennings had game experience over the other QB's on the roster, even though the other QB's on the roster knew the offensive system better because they had been in the system longer.

So if Davis or Nixon or whoever presently on the roster doesn't get game experience, then next season, a month before the season begins, we will bring in another graduate QB from some other university that sucked at their university and was benched because they sucked there, yet played in more games than our QB's on our roster and will get the start over our present QB's who have been in the system for 1, 2, or 3 years....

Jennings should have never been given the nod over Davis or Nixon or whoever because he didn't have time to learn this system. Plus he really does suck and he will only be here for one year whereas other QB's on your roster will be here 2 or more seasons. Give them the opportunity to get "game" experience so we don't have to go through this every year.

We are back to throwing along the sidelines and not throwing downfield. Our playbook is so limited that any defense can plan for our offense. Stop the run, up the middle (only), and stop short passes along the line of scrimmage. That is a failure for anyone, no matter who the QB is.

It's an offense in search of a defensive lapse for success to happen.

That is a problem.

The problem is compounded -based your description- because this offense increases defensive consistency.

Well 6/6 is out the window. Frankly we're lucky to win another game, two tops.

The way it was explained to me was since we got a running into the punter penalty, it became 4th down again and therefore we never had possession of the ball and the dead foul is added to the 4th down instead.

It was not a dead ball foul. However, any personal foul has to be enforced so since we had the running into the kicker foul, they accepted that and automatically enforced the PF. Essentially they got the benefit of 2 fouls being enforced on the same play.

Should never have removed Jennings. Even with the turnovers he is our best shot.

Not on Saturday. He was clearly out of sorts and his timing and decision making were on pause. Nixon came in, led the team to a TD and he even was throwing the ball down the field on the first series. However, as always, the coaches got in their own way and decided that adding a vertical component to the passing game was just too much balance and we don't want that.

Two weeks ago Hud was on the AJ train. He prepared. He protected the football, he was the leader of this offense. Dude was blowing him. His revamped defense played 4 quarters of good football against Tulane, and got blown away in overtime. And he didn't have the testicular fortitude to go for 2 when he had some momentum in the second overtime....and ALLLL of a sudden it's Jennings fault. I ain't buying it. Hud is famous for throwing players under the bus in media. Not saying Jennings has been GREAT, but still by far the best option. By far

Did you see how poorly he's played the last two weeks??? Holy ____.

does anyone know if the call on the field was correct when we got a five yard running into the kicker but also a personal foul after the change of possession. No an expert but I would have though they would get one or the other but not both penalties.

The personal foul is automatically enforced and tacked on to the end of the play so they were able to accept the running into the kicker penalty and then they just tacked on the PF.

Yup running into the kicker was during the play. Accepted that which would not have been a first down. But then we have the dead ball PF. That gets tacked on and give them the first. That whole play was a microcosm of our team for the last 2 years.

Is Davis in Hud's sh_t house right now? He was the heir apparent for this season. Then, Jennings comes in and he is out. Not only out, he is demoted to 3rd string being Nixon. Then, versus NMSU, Hud puts Ray in at QB and never gives Davis a shot then mentions something about playing his 4th string QB, who is not Davis. Is Davis that bad or is he simply not in Hud's favor? Did Jennings disrupt team chemistry? He is certainly not now in Hud's favor with all the interceptions and Hud saying he was forced to put Jennings back in the game. With Nixon a senior and Jennings one and done, we keep this up and we won't have a QB next year with any experience nor apparently one that Hud even wants to play, never mind how we expect to finish this season.
