2018 FB G1: Louisiana 49, Grambling 17

[HelmutVII]

Very impressed with the team tonight. Well disciplined, well conditioned, kicking team improved. A few bonehead mistakes but that can be. taken care of. The drive at the end of the first half was exactly what was needed. First drive of second half was impressive 98 yds without first string backfield for the most part.

End of the game let us rest first line guys and gave valuable in game experience to back ups.

Last years team would have struggled with this game. We shall see where we stand in two weeks.

Coach Napier is easy to find in the sideline. He certainly is a big man.

Was very impressed with the crowd...especially with the light rain before and thru kickoff...

Who was player of the game, I didn't see one announced on the scoreboard? I'm assuming it was Nuñez.

[raginsaints]

Ragas is a good candidate.

Anyone else think our pass d needs some work?

Every part needs work. I thought pass protection was the weakest part of our game tonight. Napier did a good job of calling plays to get it out of QB hands quickly.

Two things I liked.

1. Open receivers. Had a couple contested catches, but for the most part they were open.
2. Pressure on the QB. Non-SEC teams will all feel that pressure. I think as they get more disciplined, the QB scramble against man coverage will subside as well.

I give it an A- for the opener versus expectations.

I’m feeling real good about my 4.5 wins over bet...

It was easy money...
Now about that 30/1 to win the SBC.. 😂

Very impressed with the crowd given the weather!

I was unable to watch the game. While it does seem as though the team is better coached and executed at a higher level than the last few years, Grambling is the least talented team we face the rest of the season save CCU. I don’t think we really know what we are working with until after week 5. I think we win more than we lose but not hard to do in the sun belt.

Quick hits:
Not much anyone can complain about tonight. We finally beat the living ____ out of an FCS opponent.
We have a coach that doesn’t give a ____ about the opponent or the score, he expects execution and perfection.
Nuñez was in complete control of the offense the entire game.
Our defensive line is going to murder SBC OLs.
Boudreaux was outstanding at LB.
Special Teams needs a lot of work.
Game experience was vastly improved. Crowd was excited and engaged. VERY impressed with 29k in the rain!
Kids enjoyed Grambling band.
Happy for Matt Barnes catching a TD!!
