Louisiana vs Coastal

[CajunVic]

working on my Thursday night menu, Im thinking a chaudin from Don's Specialty meat that I brought home last weekend, and maybe some Adriens sausage for an app. Just can't tell my wife what it is that Im cooking even though the description on the web site says pork belly

You should get a nice stuffed tongue to go with that chaudin.

38-17 Cajuns. The plate lunch bunch serves up 500+ yards of offense.

If Nunez played with this defense he would have won 8-10 games too.

bull____. He did play with this defense once they got it together after the first 4 weeks.

[zephyr]

Maybe. He could sling it but our pass protection hasn’t been that great this year. When he would sense pressure he’d cower in the pocket.

Nunez took 27 sacks last year which was just about 2 per game. LL has 7 thus far which is less than 1 per game. The line was essentially the same last year albeit likely slightly improved this year. Nunez just held it too long and did not want to run. While he was a better pure thrower than LL, he still made poor decisions and threw a ton of INT's. Could he get hot? Yes and like I said, he threw a good ball when the conditions were set up for him to do so.

This is a great evaluation

[CrappDaddy]

The main storyline in last years game was our inability to stop them from gaining 4-5 yds per carry and getting off of the field in 3rd down. I’ll check stats in a bit to confirm. We are better equipped to keep them in check this year. There will be no trap game here.


Confirmed
Coastal had 4 drives over 5 minutes long. They had 25 first downs and had 38 minutes top. We were probably the better team in most aspects last year. This year we are definitely the better team and this defense imo will not allow Coastal to control the clock like they did last year.

So costal is allowing an average of great than 70% completion rate to FBS opposing QBs (not including GS)

On the flip side they are pretty efficient at QB

Our 2 losses were national TV games. Just win this one.....just win.

He's correct, Zephyr.

Win totals this season would be the same with either QB.

I've done the stat research. They are the same QB. If Levi were to run like he could, it would be different, but then he would probably get injured as well.

This years defense is on another level that should be the story .. fundamentally they are best I have ever seen play here

[Cajunrunner]

Hoping the fact that coastal didn’t get a chance to prepare for us prior to Troy will help. Also the fact Troy was an almost exclusive passing team and now coastal has to prepare for a rushing attack on a short week.

Well let’s look at it this way. If we believe we are what the Massey Rankings say we are and believe we are on the way up in the G5, then regardless of who had bye weeks and whatnot, we should go in there, get the win no matter how close or how much a blowout, and be back home preparing for the next game.

That’s what good teams do. That’s what well-coached teams do, and I believe we have some good coaches.

[Cajunrunner]

Not likely. He was more likely to take a sack than LL. LL routinely 2-4 times a game escapes sacks that Nunez took.

Nunez played his ___ off for us. That can’t be denied.

But yeah, Levi has shown this season, despite what any throwing shortcomings may be, he can avoid pressure and keep the play alive.
