FB Final: Louisiana 27, Nicholls State 24

[NewsCopy]

Saturday’s 27-24 home win over Nicholls did not produce a big postgame celebration in UL’s locker room.

“I think it’s a good thing when you go in a locker room after a game and you won the game, but the players understand the standard and the expectations and they know they can do things better,” UL coach Billy Napier said.

Most likely it’s RPO’s. Not zone reads.

I agree but there was a key third down specifically that was a zone read that the defense sold out on the rb knowing there was no threat of Levi pulling the ball

LL's play in the Texas game was much worse versus this game. He made more than one impressive pass, suffered more than one dropped pass and threw more than one bad pass.

Right now, the OL is my biggest concern, and it isn't even close. Many of the most blatant misses were on the right side, which is Mitchell & Torrance, who should be our strength. If you aren't blocking, the rest won't work.

On defense, the 3rd down situation is a big issue. From my view last night, Toney was trying to bait the QB into certain throws to create TO's, instead of protecting against the 1st down marker.

I also agree. I do my eating and drinking before the game while tailgating or hanging out in the parking lot. When I go into the stadium I go to my seats and watch the game. I haven't purchased anything from the concession stands in several years. I might get up to make a restroom run at halftime if necessary, but that's it. But then again, I realize I am in that only 1% or 2% of fans.

That’s great. I didn’t leave my seat either. But if you want 25,000 fans every game wife and kids will be involved and they aren’t sitting for 4 hours.

Also, give Nicholls' coaches credit, I thought they schemed the heck out of us, especially with Dixon. Multiple times, they moved Dixon from wide out to slot and created a mismatch with a LB in coverage.

We have no interviewers in the Lafayette market that has any balls to ask the hard questions.

….they had some post game on his interview….also there are some at the QBs club……blame can go around but a non b s answer always gives the question a concise answer!

The onside kick last week and the 4th down attempt on your side ....Billy needs to be slapped across the head

They don't ask the hard hitting, uncomfortable questions.

I had a problem with the 4th down attempt. I didn't have a problem trying to steal a possession on the road with the on side kick.

I had a problem with not being able to get the first down. Haha

The onside kick was the right call. The 4th down play was idiotic.

My problem was the attempt. Haha.
