FB Final: Louisiana 27, Nicholls State 24

I agree. This has been my biggest criticism thus far even though most want to bag on LL as the person to blame but I'm more disappointed in the coaching and scheme. Can someone please explain to me why we start Stevens and Jefferson and watch them make catch after catch on the opening scoring drive and then we see them sparingly the rest of the game. Nicholls has a guy catch 13 passes and these guys look great and they barely see the field the rest of the game. Also, our defense was nasty last year, especially our secondary but yet we are playing 10 yards off of receivers and playing soft zone? Why? We are literally supposed to have one of the best secondaries in the entire country and we are playing like we're playing against Alabama?

That's what happens when you play scared.

Lots of new coaches who haven't figured it out. I think the hype got to them as well.

[GeauxLA]

That is better than paying him 1 million and letting Nichols State beat us by 3.

When did that happen?

Which throw can you be thinking of? The one where the receiver fell down on the throw? I only saw one overthrow which was on the deep ball that the receiver got a holding call.

Near sideline around their 30, wasn’t catchable at all and Dan went Uecker. Just had to chuckle.

I realize it’s our guys calling the game, maybe I need to go with the flow.

I really think the LOUD music takes the crowd out of the game.

That's the one the receiver fell down on. The ball was on the money but he slipped and couldn't get back up to catch it

I don’t need to go back and read what I posted that you responded to.

[zephyr]

Man…I don’t even know what to say. Embarrassed. What’s the difference? Is it really Ragas and Mitchell? Hope the staff has a plan.

My first response is yes but it can't be just them. If you remember, our OL was playing poorly to start last year and they weren't as effective early as they were later on but this system is not for the current guys we have. People want Smith to be a workhorse guy but he can't be in this system. It's obvious. Ragas and Mitchell broke tackle after tackle and then got downfield. There's a difference

[CajunT]

Nicolls has no defense. Sorry, not really, but the score will be very close to 69-9.

That same Nicholls team scored 17 on a Memphis defense that gave up 50 to Arkansas St. But please, by all means tell me good Nicholls is, or how bad UL is playing right now?
