2018 FB G4: Louisiana 14 Alabama 56

Manac continues to impress. Saw Porter get in the backfield a couple of times. We really need McCaskill's athleticism on defense. I continue to like what I see from Moncrief. Unless my eyes were playing tricks on me, I think Butler made nice open field tackle on their RB. If it wasn't Butler then it was Garror, it was 16 or 19.

That is a very small skeleton of a future defense, but it is something. JUCO Safety and CB should be a big priority, I would think.

I think in addition to safety and CB. I would pursue a Juco DE, DT, NT, OLB and ILB.

Now, now, let's not get ahead of ourselves - that's why they play the games.

Butler forced the dropped pass in the red zone with a good break on ball. That was of our only two third down stops. What I would like to see is some forced punts. None today and Coastal only had three last week from what I recall. When we force four or more in a game that will be an indication of progress. Yes, Ragas is a man but Mitchell is a good back in many ways. In fact he is more likely to play in the NFL than Ragas due to how quickly he hits the hole. His run down the sideline was our longest play of the day. We have one of the best running back duos in the league.

Agree on the RB duo. In fact we have three good RB. It’s a shame we do not have a talented QB, because we could really keep teams off balance with our solid WR.

You do know we play a minimum of 12 games right? 3+8=11 where I went to school.

That was the OLD math.

I listened to what I could while I was working. Our guys were shell shocked at first but seemed to settle down. Our conditoning is obviously a lot better and what talent we have we don't quit. I think we can improve but with our overall talent our ceiling won't be high unless we get some breaks here on out. I cant wait to see our upcoming class sign. Fingers crossed .

By your numbers there are a minimum of 25 5-star players on their roster .

The emphasis stays on 5-star.

A 5-star Alabama scout should smash UL's 4-star players.

A 4-Star Alabama Scout should be able to demolish UL's 3-star players.

Alabama's 3-star players should be able to hang with UL's 2-star players.

Alabama's 2-Star scouts should smother UL's 1-star players.

Alabama's 1-star roster should beat UL's walkons.

UL doesn't have all their scholarships in use so I'm not going to mention Alabama walkons.

All except the freshmen scouts have more time under Saban than UL's entire team have under Napier.

Their scout team should have rolled over UL. But they didn't.

I can't emphasize enough "5-star" players on the scout team.

Do you know what a scout team is and does?
