QB-D 4 Turnovers made some decent decisions but the game ultimate was lost by him .. luckily shotguns are not allowed in the Superdome are some of those dukcs he threw would have been shot

WR- A Bell and Bradley are men

OL- B played well few penalties that need to be cleaned up

RB- B had some nice runs

P - F Had some awful punts

k - A perfect on extra points

DL- D Very little pressure

MLB - F meh Boudreaux is still chasing that RB in his dreams

OLB - B Forced turnovers and got pressure

DB - C bend don't break

MissStatement.

They were never in a comfortable enough position to experience "garbage time"

I disagree, 10 points up with a 1+ min to go. I don't know why this is so hard to understand. They did not care on that particular play, that one play, we are talking about where LL ran and gained some yards, because the time was being used up, it was about over. That is where I called it garbage time, nothing more.

We played more sloppy and still had a chance. Minus a few turnovers and we could have won

Winnable game for sure.

All the more frustrating.

Either it works like Sean Payton in SB vs Indy and look like a genius or you are an idiot.

That was the right call here.

Either way, we had to stop them, and the D was gassed. Might as well try to get the onsides.

What was Ken Mark's injury ? Any idea if it's bad.?

[Turbine]

I mean, if the ball is kicked deep with 3 minutes left the D made the necessary stop with 1:00 left and a chance to tie it.

Very disappointed Napier made that decision.

Lots to build on.

Yep 3 minutes is WAY to early to onside kick in a 1-score game.

This defense battled through 4-turnovers to keep it a 1-score game. So, I like their game-on-the-line chances with a deep kickoff.

Of course if they make the onside kick, timing is a moot point.

You need to find a p5 school to pull for.

I don't understand that mentality, settling for moral victories, making excuses why we can't be good on a national level. So, we go and beat some SBC teams, so what? That's why we only have 15K-20K fans that show up. People want their team to be relevant, and nationally respected team, the only way to gain fans and support is to do it on the field. Win games you are not suppose to. Yes, the effort was very good, many players left it out on the field, there were opportunities. It just didn't get done, and that matters. To get more, we have to expect more.

I think their sloppy play left the ripe for the upset. Our own sloppy play prevented that. Takeaway the turnover, I think they ran the ball more effectively and would have beat us. We held our own though.

This game should have been a W. When we stop beating ourselves against P5 schools, that is when our program will have turned a corner.
