You rang? I'm not gonna freak out in drive 1 of game 1 of a new era for cajuns football. It's an issue when it's the same problem over multiple years IE the last few years with Hudspeth. I'm happy to know you were thinking of me though, it warms my heart to know I'm loved.
Get ready to play "real" football in 2 weeks.the fleur de leis are closer to being a good SWAC team than they are being a good SEC team!!! why not play the new Southside HS this week.they have an open date and so do the chili peppers.and are probably better than Grambling.usl probably scheduled Grambling to see what a real band looks like rather than playing a real football team!!!
Great win and plenty to clean up at the same time. O-line will especially need to pass protect better against Miss St. defensive front can’t lose contain on the QB. There is plenty to like about this team. I loved seeing Deuce all over the field and laying some wood. Nunez has elite accuracy and anticipation. He is impressive in his read progressions and overall running the offense. Lewis showed improved ability to throw the ball too. Receivers and backs were great as expected.
Just clean up a few things and this will be a solid team.
I was relieved on play calling not being the same repetitive 3 plays and not running the RB up the middle when it was 3rd and 10+ yards. And extra points seem to be solid too.
Nunez looks like a much more polished QB when you compare last season to this season.
I was pleased with the approach to the opening game and Grambling. I too like the changes on offense - thinking we were testing it and evaluating schemes and personnel in game one. I'm stoked to have Napier's talent and demeanor. Do you recall how we throttled Southern in our home opener. in the Broadway season we thought we'd hit our Hud peak. and then laid a giant egg in the next game (home) against Tech. Napier isn't going to let this first game be a celebration of greatness. He's going to get us ready for Miss State. I believe we'll be competitive. Napier doesn't strike me as the coach that prepares strictly to win enough games against the SBC to get bowl eligible. I see a guy that expects success at every snap. I love it.
Oh yeah, very similar in that way. We came away from the Southern game thinking, we surely won, but we didn't look so hot. This game against Grambling I'm much more confident that this coaching staff will actually work on improving things and expect better execution from our players. Miss St. will be a huge challenge, they are 100 times better than Grambling. I want to see us minimize mistakes, even if we get crushed athletically, we can be tough and smart.
