I'm glad Garror did as he was coached as I agree punts should be fielded. That being said, he did muff 2 of them which is inexcusable. Do you think we will see someone else on punt returns next week?

Hopefully legendre gets some work back there ...I worry having a DB field punts.

We gave the game ball to Levi last night.

In the previous games, he's managed the game. Last night, he was instrumental in the win. His pass to Bam early sent a message, he hit a few over the middle that we haven't seen much of this year. He scrambled for positive yardage. He kept plays alive. And, his pass to Ja"Marcus for the TD was huge.

Now, to the person many pages ago who was critical of my comment about fielding punts, let me say this: Billy Napier made it clear before the season started our biggest issue on punts was failure to field the football. He said it was a point of emphasis in camp.

Garror did what he was coached to do. And, if you paid attention, you'd know that.

And, yes, I referred to the game as an _____ kicking. Because it was.

Lots of smiles on that plane last night.

He most certainly did not do what he was coached to do. He was coached to field the punts, to “not let them hit the ground”.

Two hit the ground......field the punts means to actually catch them.


Nice to see him come back in the 2nd half and get back on track. Gonna need him on point against App State. Can’t give away possessions and points against them.

Been awhile since I've seen a Cajuns team win when they supposed to and then win when were not expected to. This team is legit good and unlike any I have seen. This team knows they are good and refuses to be denied. Levi really played well, much kudos to him.

No. He was out there on the third one and returned it 14 yards.

I agree with your comments on Levi, I said as much last night.

"This was by far Levi's most complete game! He really played well and made good decisions with the ball. He continues to play at this level, we have a legitimate shot."


And while Garror's job is to field the punts, it is not part his job to fumble the attempt. That's three fumbles in 6 consecutive quarters by him. We just cannot do that against better opponents. I understand not trying to destroy his confidence, but the team comes first. He should not have been in the game for the second return. He will have plenty of opportunities to work on it during the week and earn the trust of the staff.

Bingo. I was shocked he was put back in last night.

Not unless someone looks better than him in practice.

He is coached to field all punts and not let them hit the ground for the opposing team to pin us deep. Yes, we get it that he is not supposed to drop the punt but you guys know that is not what Jay meant. Bottomline is he didn't execute it but he's also told NOT to run away and let it be downed.

The “not run away” part is a complete failure if the ball is not caught, every time.

I know, jeez. I was being a smart ___....figured that was obvious.

Seems like the catching part is an integral component of what he was coached to do....(there I go again)

Again, I’m glad he got it straight in the second half. We need him.

[RaginScotsman]

I just rewatched the game. These guys get better as the game goes on. We still had great energy in the second half and wore the Eagles down big time. Much like we did for Liberty and Ohio. I remember when the HUD teams were struggling, a lot of comments would be made about lack of halftime adjustments. This Napier squad certainly doesn’t have that issue.

Not really. Of course he's coached to catch it but players don't always execute.
