Poo our pants again

[60swerethebest]

Based on talent we’ve seen, Coastal will have their hands full with the GA teams. The East is well coached. I know Jay thinks it’s Coastal who we might see again. I’m not too sure. Mistakes team made that turned out to be at critical times was difference. I was really disappointed in defenses inability to get off the field. Our guys looked gassed on last drive. OL was inconsistent. And made to critical mistakes on drives I thought we would score on. Penalties in last three games have been numerous and untimely.

as long as our defense was on the field last night any person would have been a little gassed

Here is my thing, Levi may be the best student athlete and great young person but at the end of the day his play is inconsistent when we need the plays made. And it wasn't on difficult throws. I know the false start on third and inches was huge but there were a handful of easy throws that would have kept drives going throughout the game. I'm not saying he is terrible but just not the guy to bring us where we need. On another note unless Billy takes a second tier P5 job good news is after last night he isn't going anywhere in the near future.

And I agree with BWK? Holy ____!

Me too, it must be the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.

There were a lot of things that went wrong last night, and some things that went well, but the Cajuns definitely did not "poo their pants." Coastal is a very well coached and disciplined team that runs a rather quirky hybrid option offense. It took the defense through the first half to adjust to defending it. That option pitch on the right side made for big gains several times. Besides the play calling, Coastal was very quick and their running backs were very hard to tackle. In order to win this game, we would have needed to play a near perfect game. We made a few mistakes (uncharacteristic penalties, a costly interception, etc.) and Coastal made us pay for each of those. That is what good teams do. No, we will not be ranked next week. Maybe that will take some of the pressure off of the team and they can play better in the next game. The goals for this team are still in front of them and if they play Coastal again for the championship game, I like our chances to win. Our defense will understand their offense better and hopefully we can eliminate the mistakes that occurred in this game.

Don't bother

We couldn’t get off the field on 3rd down. That’s why we lost. This isn’t on Levi. They shortened the game, controlled the clock and made a couple more critical plays than us. End of story.

If there are more disappointing losses in Cajuns' athletic history, the list isn't long.

They almost doubled us up on TOP. One possession was for 16 plays and they barely averaged over 4 yards a play. And I think the converted on 3 third downs AND a fourth down.

Nobody made a play.

Our "three-headed-monster" had 24 carries (for 150 yards, mind you); Levi threw the ball 24 times. BTW, they ran the ball 48 times.

Levi's pass was a little behind the receiver, but it was catchable. But it was behind the receiver. But it should have been caught.

Nobody made the play.

We called the right play. But somebody missed a block, Levi rushed his throw; it was a little low but it should have been caught. But it was a little low. But it should have been caught.

Nobody made the play.

Third and inches and we rush a play, only to have a lineman jump.

Nobody made the play.

They have 3rd and 4; we miss a tackle in the backfield.

Nobody made a play.

We force them to punt, only to throw the interception.

Nobody made the play

We have the opportunity to make the pick on their side of the field and drop it.

Nobody made the play.

At the end of the half, we tie it up only to mishandle the hold.

Nobody made the play.

This was our chance. And during the week, it was said if anybody could keep a team focused, it was Napier.

Too many missed passes, dropped passes, missed blocks, missed tackles, missed interceptions, etc., say otherwise.

Hell, the play announcer guy doesn't even know what a "three-and-out" is.

I would not be surprised if Jay is right about Coastal. I think they are better than the Georgia teams. Their execution based around a game plan of "just get the first down" is outstanding. Reason we could not get off the field is they were always in manageable third downs. They are more balanced and less mistake prone than the Georgia teams. Defensively they are vastly improved. Agree that penalties were a key factor. Also big factor was not having Ferrod Gardner who is our best LB.

Well put. And, yes, Coastal went 60 yards down the field and we finally stopped them on 3rd down. He called it a "three and out"!

"Peek a boo" should've titled this thread "Suicide Watch".

We lost to a triple option running team full of midgets and freshman. This was not a great game. It was Billy Napier getting thoroughly whipped. The score was the only thing close about it. A team we beat by 30...last year. No excuses for giving up 30 to these schlubs. No excuses for only putting up 27 on these schlubs. The only reason it was close...was because talent wise...Coastal is on par with most FCS teams. That makes this game much, much worse. Currently...Napier has this team completely ____ed up.

We have a running quarterback...who is being told he’s the second coming of Patrick Mahomes. We can’t get any identity as a power running team...because of that stupidity. Passing for Levi should be only used when the defense cannot take the pounding from our running game anymore...or desperation. Throwing on first down should be a paddlin.

Defensively...we just aren’t well coached. We miss assignments...play soft...and can’t tackle for ____. It’s a far cry from the HUD era...but when the offensive has its head firmly up its own ___ trying to be air raid with Jalen Nixon 2.0 at the helm...you are going to need to rely a whole lot more on the defense. You can’t blame COVID for that ____. Everyone was back. You can’t blame a long layoff for that ____...we survived against the ____ty GSU twins as well. Call it like it is Kyle. ____. This was ____. And for the money we pay Napier...losing to triple option midgets is inexcusable.

I understand what you are going through. I really do. I have suffered from it myself many times. It is called "Fansanity". What is fansanity? It is the definition of insanity by a team's fans when they suffer from massive failure to recognize just how good the other guys are. The fact is the Sunbelt conference, which just about everyone on this board has been programmed to believe is the worst college football conference by star chasers, is a much better, more competitive football conference than any other G-5 conference.

And the teams at the top of this conference which UL has been holding the banner for, are the best they have ever ever been. UL has as good of a team & maybe the best team they have ever had. But Coastal, App St. & the Georgia teams are all playing solid football. Sometimes you eat the bear & some times the bear eats you. The national title Cinderella, bump up against the P-5 scenario is over. Now it's time to just sit back & enjoy a really good team fight it out for the conference championship. I enjoyed watching Levi finally take off with the ball & use that extra offense to open up other avenues to make our running game & passing game better. One thing is for sure. We will see if I am right, or wrong next week when UL travels to UAB. I have a feeling this team will bounce back. The question is will the fan base get over this loss & move on to enjoy what is still a great season?

........We are a pretty good football team that didn’t play the game we should that blew opportunities....that being said, Coastal is very good and has a great offensive plan that has great personnel to fit their scheme.......QB is extremely accurate and can run the ball....receivers didn’t drop anything and ran great routes.....we didn’t get enough pressure and scramble by about worked....their RBs are outstanding....and finally the option/veer option/ read option, quick passes off of it present so many problems for the defense.....CC is a top 25 team!
