Long Snapper Paul Boudreaux all about making an impact

[NewsCopy]

For Ragin' Cajuns long snapper Paul Boudreaux, chasing down a punt is as much of a thrill as a perfect pitch backward between the legs.

He wants to get down the field so bad he is over hiking the ball.

[DieHard 1280]

Sheesh! Turns out it's Buckley's fault.

Seems after a super high wouldnt you snap it short next time. At least punter has chance to field it like a shortstop

[Bandwagon King]

Tim Buckley, You are a jinx.

[ULGrad@HOU]

He made an impact alright. The wrong kind.

[Redgineer]

Buckley does us no favors anyway

I counted five? Also ironic he couldnt do the same on the last play with the safety. Seems levi would have had a 100 yards rushing if not for that play

Unbelievable performance by Boudreaux. It’s almost impossible to be that bad at something. Happy for him that we won because a loss would have been put squarely on his shoulders. I would think someone else gets a chance next game.

If Napier had called a DEEEEEP snap (and did it on purpose) then the whole hiking fiasco of a game would have come into doubt.

Oh wait.

Hope he flushes this game. But think he should be practicing his snaps in the rain for the remainder of the season to gain confidence

Napier kept freshman backup at home due to travel sq limit. Emergency backup is a linebacker with limited exp. Decisions for next two games??

Maybe it is a sign of oncoming old age. However, my thoughts on the kid were sympathy for him. While most would want to chew his butt, that would not accomplish much right now. Yes, you want to hold him accountable but the best approach would be to have him work hard on his craft extra hard during practice, encourage him while doing so, and provide firm but pointed feedback when needed. Think how you would feel if that were your son. Going forward, I think weather determines if someone else gets a chance next game. That had not been an issue prior to last night. Just like a free throw shooter in basketball may get some mental jitters for awhile, Boudreaux's issue were mental and he was pressing throughout the night.
