FB Final: Louisiana 42, Liberty 14

I don’t buy the everyone is about the same with first stringers. Maybe true for the average, but the elite usually dominate early and often on both sides of the ball. UL has been rolled early and often by perceived better programs.

But I thought that was the whole point... wear them down with the run game, drain them. Then keep pounding in the 2nd half, and then butter 'em up... because they're toast.

Traditional logic, but that isn't what happened.

Napier wore them down with the pass and then switched gears.

Game threads are meant to be for the moment. Not for predicting an outcome, it's just the flow of the game. Good when it's good, not so much when it's not. It's comments on what is happening at that time. People have a misconception of a game thread, like if someone says something negative, it means for the whole game. That is not the case.

I agree with that to some extent. Some people assume when something negative occurs it will continue. That is not the case of course and one of the things I love about our team is how they don't panic when things go bad. They just keep playing like they were trained. Still, I personally am not thinking about participating in game threads when action is on the field as I am too focused. I am usually watching a game thinking like a coach as to what needs to be tweaked in reaction to what is going on in the moment. I know I am not near qualified in any way to be a coach and my opinions are useless in that regard. It's just the way I am wired to think.

100% Truth. Only 101 total yards offense in 1st half with just 1 3rd down conversion.

If you recall, we lost 4 yards in our first second half possession. LL and company responded efficiently with 199 yards after that. And the defense kept creating opportunities.

Best part of this team is neither side of the ball panics or points fingers.

When the right defense is called for a particular play it’s almost doomed to failure. How often we see defensive players untouched, almost unseen blow up a offensive play. I’m thinking that’s what I saw on the loss you mentioned.

If more people were wired like you (myself included) the world would be a better place.

I would disagree that our OL did well against them. We wore them down, but they sure didn’t move them in the first 2.5 quarters of the game.

I would agree with you. Marks got owned much of the night on the left side by their speed rushers.

Hudson got blown up on a lot of pass blocking and not a lot of guys getting into the second level

Yep. He was a little overmatched for sure.

Yep. He was a little overmatched for sure.

He was in a tough spot did great for short notice relief. We really need to have a plan B If Cybo can't go Dec 4th
