G2 Final LGT: Louisiana 49, Eastern Michigan 21

Another awesome game day thread. How unhinged will this place be when we finally lose a game?

I saw improvement from the QB, DL and LB from game one to game two. As has been stated by many others, the OL is bad. Almost no push for most of the game. Still too many drops by WR, but it looks like a talented group. We will probably end up being a pass first team this year.

It was way more unhinged last year and we only lost one game.

The 49 scored by the Cajuns after halftime is the most scored in the second half since at least 1944.

[Bandwagon King]

Yep. 454. I was pretty close at the end. We showed as I expected at the end we were a much better team.

You'd have mad credibility had you answered that question in real time.

I share the concern about the OL. That concern was alleviated somewhat when the big backs started getting more carries on the early downs. They pushed the pile forward allowing 2nd and 3rd down to be manageable. Chris Smith’s 20 yard TD run may have been one of the best of his career. Kept his feet moving, broke a couple of tackles and used his speed at the end. COmpetition from Kibodi and Williams is a good thing. QB’s also made quicker decisions where to go with the ball in the second half.

I agree, that run by Chris Smith could very well be his best run on offense. There weren't many broken tackles last night (by all the backs). They run hard, no doubt, I see the effort, but the result is very average at this point.

12/13, 169 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs
Fields: 10/21 (think he started something like 4/11, so nice rebound), 141 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs

Rebound? You do realize that he had 4 or 5 drops? For whatever reason, the guys, except Fields, came out very tight.

[CajunNation]

The defense has not dropped off as much as I thought they would from last year. They are fine.

Offense needs tweaking. The OL needs to grow up. Just gonna take time. The 2 young RBs need to be more decisive. Too much dancing before contact. We need more deep passes early. Starting the game with dink and dunk crap needs to stop.

It’s still a nice rebound. Drops or not, starting 4/11 with numerous 3 and outs can get in the head of a QB. So yeah, Fields did a damn good job in keeping focused and having one hell of a second half.
