2019 FB G4: Louisiana 45, Ohio 25

[ULvictory]

I know I’m extremely excited about the win, especially being on the road against a team who hasn’t had a losing season since 2005 or 2006. Huge win and a step in the right direction.

But, and this is a big but, if we want to play a late season SBC Championship game in Lafayette and go to Nola for a bowl, LL HAS TO BE BETTER. He can’t miss wide open TDs, he can’t have WRs drop wide open TDs and he will have to run a little more. He must make the easy passes look easy, which he has mostly done.

This is a 10 or more win roster right now. But it all depends on the play of LL.

I think I can agree with this.

Levi is a scrambler and a rollout quarterback. He looks like a stud throwing to the flat while on the run. That rollout pass he made to Bergeron in the end zone was on the money. It was a bummer that it was dropped. He did look a little shaky in the pocket, and that’s a little concerning. He also needs to brush up on his deep ball which he’s overthrown quite a few times. Those factors will need to improve as the season progresses, which I think it will.

But overall, this team is legit. We have 3 tough games coming up, but I think we should win at least 2 of them if we stay focused and stay on task.

You quoted great but nobody said that. I can't wait until we lose, at least you will be happy.

You’re nuts. I predicted a win on the road, I told Talktomewillis his historic stats were a red herring and nothing to do with THIS coaching staff and team.

Every win is precious and hard to accomplish on the road. Having said that doesn’t mean we played the best Ohio Bobcat team in years.

As a fan and supporter I was far and away more impressed with our UH dominating win under Bustle. We all know how that win had no lasting legs. I’m thinking this win is just the beginning of great things.

Funny how reality to changes to some over time, dominating? We won by 3 in the final seconds with Belton making a miraculous catch in the endzone...hardly dominating. Certainly not as dominating as a 20 point win.

Every post you've made since the game has been downplaying the victory. The QB was not good. The team was missing its top two running backs. "The best Ohio Bobcat team in years"? These are things you are injecting into your posts to downplay the significance of the win. Nobody else. Yeah, I'm nuts....LOL.

I like Lewis as QB, he is our best option right now. But this team can run the table with great QB play.

“He can't miss wide open TDs, he can't have WRs drop wide open TDs and he will have to run a little more.”

Hear that Levi? You can’t have WR drop your passes. And, please stop overthrowing receivers 40-50 yards down the field. We all know those are high percentage throws that are fairly easy to connect.
Our QBs over the past 20 years have been very proficient with not turning over the ball, not causing WR to drop passes and completing tons of passes over 30yards. They also didn’t throw to the TE so could you stop with that play please?!?!

Metry, this isn’t the 80’s. UCF has a 3 star true freshman dropping dimes all over the field. LaTech has had QBs pick people apart for ages. Troy practically runs off starting QBs every year, Minshew and the starter at Kentucky.

Lewis is a tremendous leader and will win a lot as QB here. But he is at best the 5th best QB in the SBC. I want to make this clear, Levi is the guy who I want starting, but for us to win the next 4 games he HAS TO BE BETTER.

The game plan can only mask his weaknesses for so long. When we need Levi to win a game for us he better do it with his escapability and extending plays with his legs. Running for first downs, because he hasn’t shown the ability to throw downfield accurately. 50/50 balls aren’t accurate passes.

Well, this game was looked at by nearly ALL fans as the measuring stick of our team and and a major determinant of how our season may go. We dominated the LOS on both sides of the ball and we made who some called the best QB we would face all year look like he was lost. Defensively, I can't say enough how impressed I have been with the play this year and what these coaches have done with these players. I still think we are missing some talent in the front 7 but they have been locked in since week 1.

Offensively, I'd like to see a little more to our vertical passing game but this is a component that you can improve on week to week and I think we will. We are a much better football team this year even though our talent levels may not be where we will ultimately want it to be.

Yes....one of the big takeaways for me is this game solidified that we have a fantastic coaching staff. How much % of the current team is really from Hud's tenure? Nice to be able to know that we will be even better next year and the year after. Yesterday proves to me that the future is very bright indeed...we are finally on track to reach our potential with the foundation that this staff is building.

Not sure what you mean by us dominating LOS? Did you mean time of possession? If so, that was pretty much even. We just did a while more with our time with the ball.

People forget. Brian M. was a terrible passer. Jake D. threw a ton of picks. Levi is somewhere in between these guys as a passer.

This would be fine if we were maxing out his capabilities. He should be running much more, and the only reason I can think of as to why Napier is not calling those plays is to avoid an injury because the options on the bench are not ready.

Our OL manhandled every single DL we have played this season. Ohio wasn’t an exception, out DL was very good before Manac went down with an injury.

If we can keep dominating the LOS on both sides of the ball I like our chances.

Speaking of which....any word on Manac?
