FB Final:Louisiana 28, Georgia Southern 20

I was completely wrong about smith being our best RB. He needs the touches cause he can break one every time he touches the ball. Just wish they’d use him more in space. Get him out there in some two back sets with either MJ or Bailey to really put the pressure on the D

MJ should be your bell cow & Bailey is your gadget change of pace back. Smith main role is a speedster that you save for the 4th to burn a exhausted defense.

I never felt Smith was going to be the the main ball carrier. Seems his game is much like Calais, and as a result should be kept fresh for kickoff returns and limited carries/swing type passes in space. You don't bang him up the middle.

Johnson and Bailey are our two backs who can carry the bulk of the running game load. I really think Johnson has a chance to be the best running back we've ever had at USL/UL. I know that's saying alot, especially with our recent history of good backs, but there just seems to be something about that kid.

A few wheel routes for Smith would be nice. He needs to be in space.

This team is a GOOD team because they know how to win close games…. Good teams close out games and we do a pretty good job of that under Billy. We have a lot to improve on, but our passing game tonight is what it should be every week on average…. Levi played very well and was the major reason we won tonight….Georgia Southern is going to be a bowl team this year if they figure out how to use their QB…. We won against a solid club tonight…Defense played really well 2 weeks in a row and they have steadily improved the last 2 weeks… let’s put it all together at south Al! Geaux Cajuns!

The defense in my opinion was the major reason we won.

Smith should be used more as a change of pace back. I don't think he has enough wiggle to be a lead back.

Edit: I have to give Levi Lewis credit he had a good game last night. He's three td passes away from tying Delhomme's career record (64) and he's only thrown 15 ints to Jake's 57. He's also 1 td away from breaking the combined passing and rushing td record. As much as some of his plays can be head-scratching I have to admit he's statistically the best qb we've ever had.

This post....3 TD passes shy of Delhomme’s record of 64 and he only has 15 ints compared to Jake’s 57.

That is an impressive stat for all of his haters.

Overall I felt like LL had a solid game. Yes, I still yelled at the TV a few times! I don’t get how badly he misses some of the more routine passes, but then throws really sharp passes that are much more difficult! But overall solid performance by him last night.

Wow Jake threw it to the wrong team a lot.

Quite a different game back then too. Compare the NFL passing stats, especially the completion percentage and INTs of someone like Elway & Marino vs. Mahommes and Rodgers. You also don't see DBs getting 7+ INTs in a season like they used to.

He nearly hit on another 40+ yard pass...ball was on the money, but the GSU DB made a great play on the ball...

His first series was bad, throwing the ball badly. But he threw 2 absolute dimes for long TD passes later. I blame the play calling at times and the lack of execution by the offensive line because Rubio went down. It's clear the line is better with him at LT and Marks at LG.

You guys must watch different games than me. I thought LL was pretty accurate last night. He had to throw a couple balls away so maybe you are thinking he was trying to complete the pass but I didn't see many that weren't where they needed to be. He did overthrow one out route on the sideline but I'd like to know which QB's you guys are watching that just don't miss passes from time to time.

Even the best miss. Doesn’t mean it still can’t be frustrating though. And maybe you need to re-read my post. I said he was solid.

Can we talk about the blocked kicks? Saved 4 points. We nearly had a blocked punt vs. Ohio too. The punter just made a good play to avoid the defender.

Shades of the Bustle days.

Good to see people btalking good about Lewis. Not everything is on him if our receivers dropping passes. Someone else need to call plays
