G8 Final: Louisiana 47, Arkansas State 43

[Jeaux]

Well, if you enjoy watching basketball, I'd reconsider. We'll have a lot of games on there.

I do. I just don't enjoy beating up on Junior colleges and then getting run out of the gym verse Tennessee and Kansas. I know we lost a lot of senior leadership from last year and iirc our top incoming recruit is out for the year. I'll just pick the game I wanna go watch

Maybe the fans are waiting for somebody to blow smoke up their ___ like Hud did. Napier is about results, not hype. I think the fanbase is just weary of what happened in the last few seasons of Hud and it will take a year or so of winning before they buy in again. I think the administration can help to motivate the students to come back. We have a crap load of marketing people now; you would think they could do that much.

Marketing people? Where?

I think ASU fans would tell you otherwise about their protection. The game against App State, Hansen was on his ___ all game with a 4 man rush. We just don't have the pass rushers in there without Manac and Dillon to get pressure consistently without some sort of blitz package.

I said it last week that the matchup this week was worse for our defense than App State was. Our pass defense is pretty bad and they are much more skilled there and it showed. We made the plays when we needed to though and our kicker is a weapon.

No joke, right? Had no idea he was that good.

I don't deny we lack a pass rush and have some holes in our defensive net overall. I did think our defense was giving it their all. It wasn't a lack of effort. State's protection is very adequate against our pass rush. I still maintain that a single force on our DL and one great LB could change the script on this defense overnight. Napier looks like he's getting all we've got out of the team he inherited.

Fair enough

He was clutch. Nape obviously knew he had the weapon. Confidence builds confidence. Last night was a serious confidence builder.

Right now there are no replays listed from last night on ESPN+. That makes me really angry as I am I am not getting what I paid for.

I’d say it’s a ESPN error. They have other SBC games on the + from yesterday. And other + games that finished after ours.

I’m just tired of errors and a sincere apology. If the apology were sincere we wouldn’t need one ever.

Two more wins and i get to party in NOLA again!!!

Probably at Disney.

We talk about the D. I couldn't keep up with all the subs going in and out. Sometimes 5-6 players. Napier wanted to keep fresh legs in there......

It was out of necessity, not choice. They ran nearly 80 plays and controlled the TOP for a good portion of that game until we kind of equaled it out with our last couple of drives. There were guys in the game I've never heard of and I didn't know if Jay was talking about one of our players or ASU's....

[CharlieK]

what complaints?

“Napier play calling has been trash”.....comes to mind.

47 points.

If we had a healthy Manac and Dillon last night, we win by 2 TDs.
