2021 FB Final: Louisiana 18, Texas 38

[CajunT]

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.

The most disappointing thing I took from the game was that we didn't play Billy Napier football, our best. The matchup had something to do with that, but we weren't sound, discipline and didn't execute well in all three phases. Yet, it was an 8 pt. game at halftime. Some have mentioned that we played well on both lines at times. At this stage of Coach Napier's tenure, I'm not interested in the small battles we won, but the overall execution of the game plan and results. And frankly, yesterday we simply were not sound across the board.

Our goals of a championship this season is still in front of us now. But if we are not 4-1 going into the App. State game, I will be concerned.

Glad to see some sanity returning to the board. We lost but at no time did it appear we did not belong. Texas will be an upper tier P5. They were better than us but not by a lot. We are going to win a lot of games this year. This program is for real

They have shown up religiously for the last three years and are sure to be here the rest of the season. Down right embarrassing.

You are too focused on fans as others are focused on the players that actually play the game. Think about that.

Ok Turbine...it was a poop parade, a total poop parade

I know, I was in my low rider pull cart. Some of it landed on me.

LL is who he is. He rarely cost us a game. But he will almost never take over and win you a game. It’s been proven over and over.

[RedTails]

Not a terrible loss, convert some of those third downs and don’t abandon the run and we’re probably within one score the whole game. I was disappointed, but can’t wait to see the rest of the season unfold.

Give him some slack he is just a clueless causal fan

That's a brilliant observation....

💯 It is what it is and has been.

Yes, it is our MO. Do you think they knew we'd go ten straight passes for the last offensive plays? Yes. They knew our tendencies but we are just too stubborn to leave them

Flip the O script, Cajuns win.

And of course don't give up an unmanned touchdown on TX second possession.
