UL offensive coordinator: We're trying to hold it all together

[Big Poppa]

This is the only pace I've seen or heard anything on an AJ injury. I read the DA everyday and he has never been listed there. I have listened to all of Hud's pres conferences and the injury has never been mentioned there either, to my knowledge.

In my humbled opinion from what I have seen this year AJ is doing nothing for this offense that Brooks Haack couldn't do.

Jennings = Haack

FYI- The ulm defense scored 14 of the 40 against tsu

Their offense is that bad too.

It's painfully obvious that this coaching staff wouldn't know a Quarterback (Pocket or Dual Threat) if it jumped up and bit them on the ___.

That can be argued, HOWEVER, if Haack were still here as opposed to Jennings, we could count on Nixon being the starter, not Haack, imo.

The defense played GREAT. I really like what the coaching staff has done this season with the defense since the current DC took over. We need to keep this guy as long as we can.

The offense did what they were supposed to do against an inferior unit.

The most interesting thing from Saturday were comments Falgout made in the booth. He said he never saw the WR group block as well as they did Saturday. We need to keep doing that. Also, he said we ran a lot of 2 TE sets, and these 2 things were the reason we ran the ball as well as we did.

This is probably not the spread type of offense Hud wants to run, but it is what fits the talent we have.

You are correct and I agreed with what Richie said about the running game with 2 TE's but I'd also add the fact that TXST also had 1 guy on their defense over 250 pounds. 1 guy and he was the NT. They were a small unit and if we just volume blocked them, we were going to be successful at some point. In other words, while it looked and worked good against an opponent we matched up really well with, lets wait until we're successful against better defenses.

Mike how many straws does it take to break a camels back. We need to continue to let the administration know of our extreme disappointment. Message boards is the very least we could do, boycotting the concessions is the next, and probably we should.

I see your point.

I just hate what we do on offense against better D lines. We come out in 3 WR sets and 1 RB. We are either flinging it sideways for no gain, running ELI into a wall, or lofting 50/50 balls. It is PAINFUL to watch that offense.

If Hud insists on having running QBs, then he needs to RUN THEM for his offense to work. If AJ is hurt, he needs to sit. We saw what Davis is capable of running the ball.

The way forward is clear to me. If AJ is healthy, he needs to play and RUN more than he passes. If AJ is injured, he needs to sit for Davis.

This is dead nuts on.

I don't ever agree that a better running QB should sub in for a better passing QB. But in Hud's offense, it's almost mindboggling that he hasn't pushed Davis into service. Again, I'm not saying he should... but given how Hud wants to operate the offense... I'm surprised Davis... if not Ray... isn't taking snaps. Jennings doesn't have the wheels he had at LSU. He didn't have blazing speed... but he was a powerful runner. And with Hud having limited Jennings throws... I'm really surprised he doesn't go ahead and pull the trigger on Davis.

I know what you are saying, so this is not really in response to that. I agree, I'm shocked Davis hasn't played more, given how much Nixon played with little to no passing ability.

IMHO Hud's offense doesn't need the quarterback to be a better runner than passer....but he must be a serviceable runner. Especially this year with our line problems. Gautier was no Dezmo, but he ran for like 500 yards and a 4+ per rush average the year he started. I think that's the minimum level of runner that Hud's offense requires.
