2021 FB Final: Louisiana 18, Texas 38

[DieHard 1280]

I, for one hope Texas wins the conference this year. If they have their usual, 8-4, 7-5 type season, then we are a lot further away from being a true top-25 team than we thought we were.

Problem is LL is the 5 or 6th ranked QB in the belt ... a lot of schools went out and got stud signal callers. Napier love for him blinds him to his inability.

This is our two fold problem. We have 20 out of 22 back from last year. But the 2 we lost are now playing on Sundays.

Everyone else in the league upgraded via the portal. This is going to haunt us.

My mama always told me if I didn’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all. Yesterday sucked and I’ll leave it at that.

We are better at RB this year than we were last year.

Louisiana will be fine, people. We lost to solid opponent on the road in a hostile environment.

Card and Sark really showed up. The Texas defense was also as good as advertised.

Louisiana will have one of the best defensive units in college football…I’m not over exaggeration either. No tape on Texas and they played really well in most situations. Card was just better and was able to thread the needle on so many occasions.

Lastly, our DL was lights out! They are legit.

[Turbine]

Can anyone explain the blown coverage on TX first touchdown?

There wasn't a Louisiana defender within 20 feet of the receiver as he came out of the backfield to catch the pass and score.

Both the S and CB got sucked into covering their TE. I believe it was the CB that made the actual mistake and failed to see the wheel route. It might have been the only defensive error all game. Card was that good.

[Cajunrunner]

Card was that good.

He was great using his legs to get out of trouble. We got pressure on him pretty consistently, he scrambled and either got the yards or make the needing throw on the run. He was much more elusive than I expected.

Also, their receivers seems to make just about every tightly contested catch, from #4 on a couple 3rd downs to the TE with 2 Cajuns defenders over his back in the endzone.

I don't think yesterday is doom and gloom. I could see us going the rest of the season with 0 losses or just one more loss, but we will need to have a better ratio in the secondary on those contest targets (which we did a very good job last season), and hey, we'll need a few fumbles to bounce into our hands rather than right back to the team with the ball.

We're going to need Levi to hit those intermediate routes, and we'll need the receivers to get a bit more separation, which I believe they will vs. Sunbelt competition. Plus, vs. Sunbelt offenses, I expect our D-Line and LBs will dominate the LOS and get consistent pressure. We just can't allow the QB to be as elusive as Card was yesterday. Once he's cornered, get his ass on the ground.

[Boomer]

Correct.

Our top 2 RBs played just as well as their All-American. We will be fine at RB.

……Ah top 3 RBs……Davis Bailey and Johnson (de la Salle NO freshman)!

…….Our best play was punting….I know they had a retuned called back but they had 2 penalties to call it back….fg kicking pretty good!

[Hudsheen#Fired]

Speaking of linebackers. Any update on ferrod? Saw him in a boot and crutches

Johnson is a stud, his vision for a freshman is unreal. Follows his blockers like a season veteran
