Halfway Home: at 3-3

[CajunT]

Does ANYONE else feel conflicted here?
Short Term: The absolute desire for UL to win the remaining 6 games (including ASU, App St, AND Ole Miss)
vs
LONG Term: NOT breaking .500, and improving the odds to rid us of Hud?

No, I never pull against any of my coaches so that he or she will be replaced. That means we are losing and further damage to the brand. You shouldn't feel guilty in not having the confidence that he will not get the job done, that is entirely different in my opinion. Either the staff will rise to the challenge or they will fall short. They control their own destiny.

Davis is the better runner but he seems to turn the ball over more frequently. Nunez is by far the more accurate passer. He just needs to hit the check down guy quicker than he did i. The last game.

And that comes from repetition !

Jordan Davis needs to be the starting QB... Nunez can't run so we are one deminsional in our run game.... doesn't fit the offensive style

Are you people even watching the games? What makes you think Nunez can't run? From what I've seen, he has plenty enough speed and quickness to scramble when necessary. Why on Earth do you want your QB to run 1st?

I also don't agree that our offense is designed around the QB run. Our offense has a good number of play options. We are not one-dimensional, even with a QB that predominantly throws. And you are right... Nunez can run well enough. He may not get any better than what we've seen so far... but I was fairly impressed at his read progressions early on. Unfortunately, he drops back a little too deep at times... and doesn't get the ball off quick enough. But if he gets more comfortable, he'll probably get the timing down... and even tuck and run it better.

I liked Davis in the early games, before he got hobbled. But I believe Nunez is the starter right now. If Nunez gets ding'd, we have a good QB in Davis to fill that spot.

Does anyone know what the status of Davis' injury is?

BC his longest run of the year is 13 yds. That's not the kind of run threat that will take anyone's eyes off of Ragas.

I wonder (and I’m really not sure the answer) how different things would feel had we made our extra points at the ULM game and sit 4-2 and 3-0 atop the belt? I know there are many other variables, but just isolating that one. My guess is it would not make much difference here as the anti hud sentiment is just too strong. But I wonder if our main stream fan base would be excited?

It was interesting to be in College station this weekend and talk to aTm fans. Many of them are ready for Sumlin to go. They thinks it’s just time. I think it’s just where we are as a society with sports that people want change and do not have the patience to let things play out. I’m not saying that is bad or good in each particular circumstance but it does seem to be how fans are.

Like CajunJack I will root for my teams to win in all circumstances. Otherwise I would no longer consider myself a fan of that team and move on

It is what it is.

This squad was unprepared for the season. Many fans have thrown in the towel on this season.

The last 2 games have stopped the bleeding, but the patient is still on the operating table. Now, the real work begins. If he can salvage a Bowl game this season, he MIGHT buy himself another year, but that is it.

Dr. Maggard can't go on much longer without a 100% enthused donor base. He's handcuffed until either Hudspeth is let go or Hudspeth somehow finds the reset button on the program with the fans on board.

Tall order.

A win in Jonesboro would really go a long way towards that reboot.

The answer is plain as day.

Nunez passing. Ragas rushing. Calais change of pace.

Repeat.

Ragas needs that much help?

3-3 with 6 games to go.

@ Arkansas State
@ South Alabama
@ Ole Miss
New Mexico State
Georgia Southern
@ Appalachian State

Based on previous performance I suspect we will win one game that we will be underdogs in and lose one game that we will be favored in. How we come out of this 3 game road swing will greatly dictate the outcome of this season.

The more I look at the remaining schedule, I don't see another loss. I think we win out.

I'll have one of what you're having.
