Can the Cajuns' offense ever get its groove back?

[NewsCopy]

Wednesday's 24-0_debacle certainly wasn't the kind of national exposure the Cajuns were_looking for when having to play one of those brutally inconvenient mid-week ESPN2 games.

on my drive in this morning, stevie actually said "6-6 is realistic; really, 7-5 is realistic as well, but not likely."

Scott Farmer and Hud are in the studio making sure Steve keeps it real.
No way in hell he can really think that out loud.

The way our offense looked last night 2-10 is realistic! The sad part is we have been begging for a defense for years now and we finally get one that can somewhat hold water and our offense is god awful.

Poor offensive line with poor technique, inexperienced WR corps that is learning how to separate, predictable gameplan featuring Eli and a coach that is scared to death. A team that has no belief in what they are doing, which I believe says the don't believe in the staff. Jennings reaction in the NMSU game told me all I needed to know about what these players think of our current coaching staff.

What groove did this team EVER have?!

Groove? A high school grade offense in FBS football ain't got a ____ing groove. God bless Jay Johnson for getting out while he had the chance.

I'm still in the hunt for my prediction, 3-9!!!!

Sadly....

If we continue to keep playing as bad as we did last night 3-9 is a very big accomplishment.

I have only one question, what the hell was wrong with South Alabama? They should have pounded us into dust.

Good High School offenses like Indest's and Cook's are much more creative than ours. Ours is a collection (ever shrinking) of unrelated plays, none of which build on each other or set the defense up for future plays. They are what is left of the playbook that Hud thinks we can run without turning it over. Well success! No god damn turnovers....and no points. Risk nothing, gain nothing. That is the way of life, Hud.

Don't forget, incredibly slow developing. Our offensive line doesn't know whether to ____ or go blind. Some of these play calls wouldn't work on a playground.

I'm wondering the same thing. Thank God we won, but them beating Miss State and a top 25 team and a loss to us in between is nuts. I will give us credit, we played a good game. Jennings threw the ball well, we played great run defense while running well ourselves, the receivers made plays and the staff called a good game. What the hell happened after that game and the 1st quarter of the Tulane game I'll never know. We just shut down completely.

Hud hasn't digressed as a coach. Five years ago everyone thought he could walk on water. Something or things have gone wrong. A teams talent can make a coach look real good or real bad. The bottom line is the team's talent has digressed.

Was he winning with Bustle's players?
How many HUD players have been drafted compared to Bustle?
Did he lose assistants that were good recruiters?
Is Hud just a poor evaluator of talent during recruiting process?
Was there more to the cheating allegations that have negatively effected recruiting?
Have the NCAA sanctions effected the overall talent level?
