I dont expect coastal to be a pushover, but their win was over a UAB squad whose best projected win is Tulane, whose record is projected to be 3-9.
I dont expect us to blow them out, but if we dont beat Coastal in our house, I will be very surprised.
We will beat the brakes off Coastal when on offense. Not sure what to expect from the defense. I think we win by 10 or more.
We should come out of Saturday's game with a 7 point win, but that's only because we have home field advantage. Coastal's team this year is every bit as good as our team is this year. That's just the way things are these days. It is, at least, until we get a couple of Napier recruiting classes on the field.
It's hard to believe that in the year 2018, we're fielding a team that is basically on par with a team that was FCS two years ago. For those of us that have followed Cajun football for more than 40 years, this is a hard pill to swallow. Oh well, here we go again
All I can say is that if we get an early lead on these guys, Nape needs to keep his foot on the pedal. They can score.
From a Chants fan on the Belt message board-"I don't see us winning this game for a couple reasons. Our secondary is high school caliber at best, and I can't help but believe that preparation for this game has been challenging due to the hurricane and the displacement of our team.
I think we will score and score a lot on Louisiana. But they'll score even more.
I'm guessing we lose in 52-38 type game"
Apparently, Coastal has been staying in Jacksonville since their game on Wednesday. The CCU campus is still closed. They're essentially displaced. We know that feeling down here too. This is a tough spot to be in, but may work in the Cajun's favor in spite of the extra 2-3 days of prep that they've been able to get.
We had a poster here last week worried about the extra days they had to prepare for this game. As was correctly pointed out by a number of us, they were not going to be at home, sleeping in their own beds, and following their normal routine. Gotta be tough to be displaced, concerned about what's going on back home, and trying to prepare mentally for a game. I'm sorry it's worked out for them that way, but thems the breaks.
Cajuns just need to do their part. Score early and often and do everything possible to disrupt their quarterback.
I’m thinking that the Cajun defense will surprise the fans here.
Most people, Cajun fans, thinking we're a sieve. So them being a sieve wouldn't be a surprise to them or you apparently.
