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

[cajunhawk]

Explain to me the "horrow show" that the defense put on Saturday night. I must have missed it because the defense looked pretty good to me. Actually, other than penalties, the offense did not look bad either. What do you do write these messages in advance and just pick one at random to post?

Padnuh, this is an offense and defense that has been shutout twice at home, and the team shutting us out has pulled their foot off the gas at halftime. Beating Texas State isn't going to make anyone stand up and take notice. If you do...you already know what you want the answer to be.

It's amazing what a win can do for a fan base. Even a win over a terrible Texas State team has some of our fans feeling like there's hope of playing in a bowl game this year.

Oiler, I always have hope for the bowl bid, until loss #7.

I can't make a case for Davis bc I've never attended a Hudspeth coached practice/scrimmage. But unless my memory is completely wrong, Brett Baer was terrible in practice. Obviously he was more of an exception, but you never know unless given the chance under the lights.

Scrimmages are games, if you can't succeed in a scripted scrimmage it's highly unlikely you will do so in a game that actually counts. And a QB touches the ball 100% of the time on offense, a PK only touches the ball a few times a game.

[CajunT]

You are correct I was for benching him last year. I would bet nwst is asking him to make more throws than HUD is AJ. haack is bad but he could do everything Jennings is being asked to do.

And I keep telling you Bicky, the problems on offense go beyond Jennings and includes the offensive line and receivers. Inserting Davis and not correcting those areas only assures you of greater stats of running the football from the QB position with likely worse results. The difference is Jennings can manage a game as a senior, Davis hasn't manage a scrimmage yet, much less a game. If you guys are willing to stick him in now a suffer through the learning curve, then just say you have given up on the season. Until we reach two more loses, I'm not there yet. I'm sticking with the guy that has managed 3 wins thus far behind that offensive line.

I have seen numerous plays when Jennings had all day with no open receiver and he throw it out of bounds where someone with Davis speed could make something happen with his feet. In the spring game he had the same situation with no open receivers but he was non contact. All true dual threat QBs look bad in scrimmages because the run threat is completely taken away. Des never impressed in August scrimmages but wasn't too bad on Saturdays. I would be 100% for moving toward the future right now so that we are not in the same predicament next year with a QB that has no experience or relying on a bench warming reject transfer.

Again, your analysis is all about watching Jennings and not about watching the other positions. Some of you guys are so anti-LSU, Jennings couldn't do anything right in your eyes. Until we reach 6 losses,I'm not ready to break in the QB for next season. Everyone UL signs supposedly has upside, many of them are not on the field yet.

You know what "potential" means right? You ain't done nothing yet

[FSF]

That's the craziest thing I ever read, where is Allen Iverson's practice tirade!

[FSF]

You are also making an assumption that Davis would turn up and run, and not try to force a pass, or wait too long and get sacked or any of the other terrible outcomes that happen on a pass play. Jennings is the man. Davis has potential, no doubt, but potential is like intentions, the road to hell is paved with them. Jennings only problem is his line is horrible. His receivers run some of the ____tiest routes in all levels of football and don't understand separation. They probably aren't being coached correctly. The tight ends are nonexistent and our play calling is ____. If Jennings oline was 30% better and receivers 50% better, we have 4 wins as opposed to 3. That's with the ____ty play calling. You give him those improvements with above average play calling you're at 6 wins and a close call against a decent Boise St team.
