New UL QBs will get opportunity to play right away

[basinbear]

If I remember correctly, the student section was chanting for Jake to be put in, and erupted when he finally ran on the field.

The decision was made at halftime between Louie and Stokes.... we wern't gonna wait long to see if the others could get it done.... remember, our asses were on the griddle after 3 straight losing seasons.

That was such a cool game. I wasn't living in Lafayette at the time, so I wasn't even aware of Jake Delhomme. A little kid sitting in front of me at the game says, "look dad... Jake is putting on his helmet"... I'd already heard the kid telling his dad something about Nelson saying that if Jake was wearing a red hat that he would be redshirted. Well, 5 interceptions in the first half (as I recall it) and Jake goes in. It was really cool to watch how Jake operated under center. You could tell he was all about reading the defense, barking out signals, and doing what it took to move the chains. But didn't he actually throw an interception on his first pass?

Yes.....but Jake had "it" just as Brian did....leadership and huddle presence. Players believed in both of those guys. They always had that gut feeling that Brian and then Jake, when the chips were down, would lead them down the field. It's hard to explain but you just know when a QB has it.

BB wasn't that year supposed to be Tyjuan Hayes' SR yr but he just up and left after the season? If that is accurate which if memory serves me correctly that was the same year. If Hayes dosen't leave does jake red shirt?

[CajunEXPRESS]

Hayes had three years prior to Jakes freshman year. He's not listed in that year so his absence wasn't because of eligibility for years played.

He graduated early.....Jake would have beaten him out

I'm going to say something here.....I like both QB signees from this 2017 class....I got to see Harrison from Port Arthur memorial in person. I love his field presence and his demeanor on the sidelines.....sticking my neck out but this kid intrigues me..

I have only seen him on hudl. I have said before he's got the most up side in the bunch including the guys already on campus. IMO

Wasn't there a JC transfer back then by the name of Jason Sanborn who they had pinned most of their hopes on?

Upside and potential are funny words. Most people talked just like this for JD and a lot of people said this about Dion Ray. Next best thing since sliced bread. Yet we haven't seen him complete one pass yet. And look where we are at
