G9 Final: Louisiana 16 Troy 26

[Cajunsmike]

With 2 QB’s committed but unsigned and at that time a half a season left, there is no point for him to say anything else.

Not surprised he is looking for an experienced QB after seeing a few more games. If the best guy does not graduate from either a JC or as a grad transfer, that is who he takes. I am sure he hopes someone talented can enroll in January.

I'm really hoping that the staff knows that the remaining teams on our schedule are going to both do what Troy and ASU did which is load up on the run and make us pass to beat them. It makes it especially tough when every team knows that Nunez will absolutely not keep the ball and be a threat on the ground.

We rushed for 228 yards against Arkansas St. Loading the box doesn't mean you can't run against someone. When you load the box, there isn't any 2nd level support. If you break through the line, it is a huge gain.

The issue comes down to that Troy's DB's were physical with our WR's and we couldn't handle it. Loaded the box (and were disciplined about it) and locked us down in 1-1 coverage = shutting down ANY offense ... see Bama vs LSU.

Well, it does but using the ASU game as a comparison is not real valid when we threw for over 300 on them as well. Our first score was a swing pass that went the distance. They had to settle back off of us at that point. We were able to be very balanced against ASU. Troy was able to, with their DB play, jam us and really fill the box. I think we both agree that the difference was Troy's strength in pass defense that allowed them to do so all game.

I agree, my point is that EVERY game plan against us will be the same, regardless of opponent ... take away the run and force them to beat you with the pass.

It comes down to execution and having the talent to execute. Troy and App State have both on defense, Arkansas State and the rest of our schedule does not. Now, the ULM game will be a good test I believe. It is a road game, in-state rival, and multiple coaching ties. If everything goes to plan, it should be a game for the West Championship & a guaranteed 7 win season, with an upside of 9 wins.

Come on, the #3 if that's what they were, can't score one TD......

Did you watch the game?

Did you watch the game?

So you saw them score a TD?

No. Bama is REALLY good. LSU DID NOT lay an egg.

They got shut out.

Their offensive gameplan was horrible. Coach Cookie Monster laid an egg.

Oh, they laid an egg, the big ole goose egg - zero on the scoreboard is an egg no matter how you view it.
