G3 Final: Louisiana 21, Rice 33

[Cajunrunner]

When you see 8 in the box, why try running the ball? You are setting up your offensive line for failure. This happened all night.

8? Hell, I watched with Cover 0 and Cover 1 us continuing to try to run.

Now, we did that last year too, but there was always the threat, though it didn't happen maybe as much as we'd like, of Levi pulling the ball and running himself. And now 20/20 hindsight, looks like maybe it was to protect our then 5'10, 170 lb QB1 because if we had to put in Fields, there was zero threat of the QB pulling it and running himself.

The team we beat twice last year and without the benefit of a true Hail Mary would be 1 and 2 today . . . That App St

If not for the unbelievably stupid decisions by Troy's coach, it wouldn't have come down to the Hail Mary for App. Taking the safety and squib kicking on the kickoff to give Troy the ball near midfield were hard to believe.

It was his 3rd game. Chill

Transfer portal is going to make continuity hard for every program not in the P5.

4th game total, 3rd game of this season.

[JMV JustMyView]

That lack of portal urgency was my biggest off season concern.

Louisiana needed to stack the Time Machines.

ps Still my recommendation going forward.

Coach Glasco didn't hit the portal and he will do just fine.

Lose next week and you are looking at perhaps a 3 win season. Would be the most USL thing ever to build a new stadium then suck in it.

If we lose to ULM then Mike should be canned. UL should never lose to ULM. Our standards should be higher than them.

Interim for bowl game.

Rice attendance announced at 18746. There is no way there were that many there.

They are also counting sold tickets.

This right here. I am very grateful for what Billy did while he was here. But there’s an argument to be made that he left us worse off than we were when he got here.

Sure we won a lot of games including bowls and a conference championship. He brought us top 25 rankings. And we loved it. But then he took everything with him. I mean he took the freaking media team. Dude left us with nothing.

My analogy here is like building a massive Jenga tower. Nice and sturdy. And then he took more than half the pieces with him to Florida leaving us with a tower that’ll fall over from a light breeze.

I shared the same skepticisms with the Des hire when it was announced. Confused, but excited bc we all love Des. But after the first 3 games it appears he is over his head at the moment. It may take a couple years to build this “jenga tower” back up.

Napier took what he brought to UL. Nothing wrong with that as all coaches who move up do that.

I can’t wait for our first bad loss in Softball next season . . . can the coach

Not exactly

In recent years how much better is Rice than UL-M? I’m asking sincerely, as I have no idea.

On the surface I feel like you could replace Rice with UL-M and your comment still stands lol.

(I am not literally saying we should fire Des, just making light of how disappointing this loss was).

I’m hopeful we will turn things around.

If we lose to ULM then Mike should be canned. UL should never lose to ULM. Our standards should be higher than them.

So should we fire Deggs or any other coach for losing to ULM? Yes I hate losing and especially to ULM but it’s sports and anything can happen but to say he should be fired if he loses next week is a bit much
