UL Football Preview

The RB room was gutted. Hence, the need to air it out. There’s a giant hole in the middle of the defense. Unproven QBs. Etc. Etc.

Let’s dial it down a little. A winning season would be a good outcome. Anything above that is gravy. I like gravy.

The running back room will be just fine barring no major injuries. And that is with the kid from Carencro out for the year. You got Smith and the Williams kid from Many as the top 2. I heard Coach Leger say the Williams kid looks to be as good as the big back from last year. (He did not say Johnson's name in the public mention on purpose.) And then you have Orphey who I heard looked great in spring practice.

8 wins is the absolute floor of this team.

Some of y’all really doubt the talent and depth we still have in the roster. A QB who can actually threaten every part of the field with his arm with be a dynamic change to this offense.

10 wins is easy with this schedule.

Your expectations are your expectations, but 10 wins is NEVER easy. It wasn't easy last season or the season before that. There will be trials and tribulations that this team will face. I agree on our talent assessment, but they don't have the game experience yet for me to feel that confident.

Is 10 wins a possibility ... sure it is. Easy, not so much.

[Duggie35]

Too many of us think winning (any game in any sport) is easy!!!!

[cajun4life]

You thinking Fields or Wooldridge?

It’s Chandler Fields job to lose.

It’s Chandler Fields job to lose.

You don't send your back up QB to do media events.... Chandler has been on local news shows a couple times now

We’ll be fine as long as UL takes care of not turning the ball over. That’s one thing I absolutely enjoyed the past few years…rarely we finished a game with the Cajuns on the bad end of that stat.

My gut tells me we won't win 10 regular season games but my heart is praying for 10 wins. Interesting fact CBN(a former QB) was here for 4 seasons and never played with his Recruited guy(s) at QB.

Other teams won't sit still everyone is trying to get better

With the schedule, 10 wins is within reach; along with another SBC championship appearance.

RPCA..just can't control themselves...

So, nobody can have any type of concerns heading into next season without being branded with this dumb acronym?

[Jacob81]

We have to have one of the easier schedules in the country. Not playing app or coastal in conference and FSU not their usual self.

At Marshall
At FSU
Arkansas state

Those are the 3 swing games to me. Any other loses are season killing. Going to need 11 wins if not 12 with this schedule to be ranked again.

Man, I am concerned many of you are overlooking our opponents. I am very hopeful for a very good season and I am all in on Coach MD, but I will take it one game at a time!
