2018 FB G5: Louisiana 42 Texas St. 27

[CajunNation]

We have 2 backs that can play P5 football. Mitchell is a man

How about we mix in a little wishbone?

Lewis at QB. Ragas at FB. Mitchell and Calais on the wings.

UNSTOPPABLE

Fun with scores...

Coastal beat UAB by 23.

UAB beat latech tonight by 21.

Did not see that coming!

We’re not as terrible as we thought. The D was fantastic in the 1st half. Exposed on the second. Could be attributed to team with a 28 point win feeling a bit comfortable.

We were going to win Sun Belt games on the strength of our running backs. This was one of those games. We are truly blessed with 3 great RBs.

Good representation of Cajun fans at game tonight. Glad to go home with the win.
Definitely a tale of 2 halves. Team looked very good in first half ( minus the lame throw away int!). I couldn’t understand why Tx State wasn’t having better success throwing against us. Looks like they figured that out in 2nd half. Fortunately our ground game was on point most of the night. Was also good to see Levi have some success, and he definitely gave us a spark in 3rd qtr.

More than you realize. Having Ragas and Mitchell for 2 more years will give Nape the space he needs to build a salty unit around them. When those cats are Seniors, everybody better hold onto your butts!

It's gonna get real up in here.

Ragas and Mitchell are bulls... they alone will get us to or around 6-6
Lewis surprised me tonight..

Right. Lewis did surprise tonight. He made a critical “stand in the pocket and throw a strike” throw that may be under rated. That was a 3rd and long. Well done.

I'd like to buy an E... and solve the puzzle. "ELIJAH SAVED OUR DEFENSES ___"!

There were no surprises tonight. We are going to have to outscore teams in the Sun Belt to win. Our defense is not talented enough to stop anyone still on our schedule. At least on a consistent basis. I will hold out hope that they improve over time, but even if they do I don’t think the talent upside is very high.

One thing is for sure. We going to have to run , run, run, then make critical pass plays when opponents stack the line. I feel a lot better about our chances going forward now that Naps and co. seem to have a better feel as to play calling etc

That's why Napier is getting him playing time. We'll see him continue to improve. I know some fans don't like it, and I don't always agree with when he decides to give him a series, but he's giving him seasoning facing live bullets without the pressure of being the full-time starter so that he's not a deer in the headlights when he'll possibly be the guy. I know the old adage is "if you have two quarterbacks, you have no quarterbacks," but our situation isn't that there's some kind of controversy or Napier can't make a decision. I like the long-term thinking.

Please explain what you mean by long term
