FB Final: Louisiana 27, Nicholls State 24

[CajunT]

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?

Levi doesn't play on the offensive line, nor does he play at linebacker or defensive back.

But he does play QB…poorly.

Two games down and LL wasn't the best QB on the field, Texas I understand tonight I don't. LL is capable of running the ball as well as Scott did tonight but he doesn't. He floats passes I was thinking its duck season get the shot gun. The defense playing 10 to 15 yard off receivers unacceptable. Its going to be a long season if we don't get it together. Nichols brought a nice crowd I was surprised and pleased.

And Scott was hurting by the end of that game. The staff does not want LL running like that especially for that reason. I wish he would run more, especially if Fields is as good as everyone else around here thinks he is. I wish we ran the option a little more and kept defenses honest rather than just loading up on the back. Again, I get the criticism of LL to a degree because he has been limited in his career, especially throwing the deep ball but tonight he was the lone bright spot. When we went pass heavy on our first drive of the game and first drive of the 4th quarter, he moved the ball easily up and down the field and we looked our best. I only saw one bad throw which was the one that hit at the receivers feet but I thought he was playing pretty well. Our defense and running game? not so much.

Well he's joined the party.

I have ZERO confidence in this team. Maybe it's the new coaches or the team got the big head... something has to give

This might be the only area we might disagree. I don't believe the staff doesn't want Levi to run, they want him to take what the defense gives him, but get out of bounds and don't take unnecessary hits. If at this stage there isn't another QB that they have confidence to play if something happens to Levi, then it's on Napier. It's either poor development, or poor recruiting.

What game were you watching?

[JamesTheJeweler]

For those that said LL only threw one bad pass at thr guys feet must have not watched the whole game. In yalls defense though, you probably missed half the game if you went to concessions. ��_♂️

This I agree with if HUD's left handed leftover is the best we got than I'll accept it but if we have no confidence in our back up if something happens to the starter in year four than we've done a terrible job of recruiting or developing quarterbacks.

Levi’s so bright, we gotta wear shades.

Levi’s so bright, we gotta wear shades.

Maybe the shades is keeping him from seeing the open receivers?
