No reported injury, any kind of brace or boot you could see?

He had a knee brace on.

Interesting stat -

We had 27 first downs today, Miss St. had 29

Last year they had 29 first downs and we had 13

We have a well coached team. I didn’t see many offsides, holds, miffed handoffs etc...thought we played a pretty clean game against a very tough opponent.

Each team had just 5 penalties.

The year-over-year strides this team has made are tremendous.

Yesterdays game was winnable.

One wasn't his fault, the running back knocked the ball out of his hand, and the other was a heave on the last play of the game into the endzone. He had on his back one meaningful turnover. Now, it was VERY meaningful. It was a very poor decision. But it was on his first throw of the game. The rest of the way, he looked better. One bad decision in the season opener isn't the end of the world.

Again, I don't want to make it sound like I'm pumping sunshine. I don't know if he's the answer. I had a problem with a few other things he did. Not getting out of bounds on his last scramble, for example. But against an SEC team, I'm willing to give him another game before pulling the plug. He - and our entire passing game - has to look a LOT better vs. Liberty. But his play wasn't the main reason we lost today, sorry.

Agree on a number of your points,especially the ball being knocked out of his hand by the running back. I’m pretty sure he was involved in three first half turnovers. Ya might be forgetting that backwards pass to the right. That was a pretty bad pass and the running back got the fumble because it hit his hands. Or am I just putting too many plays together from too many games yesterday.

I think that's the difference. Most games against the big guys in the last several years have been embarrassing. The Cajuns did not embarrass us this time.

I wasn’t embarrassed. I loved how the team competed , mistakes aside. I’m excited for home opening weekend.

Bottom line is, if LL doesn’t commit 3 turnovers in the first half we win this game. If Ragas doesn’t fumble in the red zone, we win this game.

The backwards pass turnover should be totally on the coach. Execution horrible but the offense should have never been placed in that position. That should have been a straight run play.

You know you have a pretty good RB corps when Regis is not your 1st or 2nd option at that position.

That’s a very common and successful play. You don’t like the call, I get that. The only problem was a petrified QB who already had been involved in miscues.

With his touches, I wonder if he was a little nicked up and we are trying to save him, or maybe game plan was to attack the edges more with Calais and Mitchell
