G3 Final: Louisiana 21, Rice 33

You focused on correcting the money. What about the first paragraph? Other than the one offensive lineman Napier took with him (likely an All American this year), if Napier stayed, he would have the same line Des has, correct? I didn't think we were supposed to be rebuilding the line. However, the OL did not look good against Rice. We couldn't throw or run.

I dont get it Carlos Rubio looked good in his reserve role last 2 years and Aj Gillie looked great the last season .. completely different players this year

It’s ok to adjust on the fly. Making adjustments is what makes certain coaches great. I don’t think he would lose all credibility. If something isn’t working then fix it. I just have a feeling that if we continue the 2 qb system we will see games like Rice and the first half of EMU. I also have a feeling that Ben will get eventually start to get the majority of the snaps.

Your feeling wasn't correct.

[JMV JustMyView]

Wooldridge will be the starter going forward.

Nope.

Billy took (2) players on the OL.

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

The portal wasn't around then, but how many transfers did Glasco pull in his first couple of years to make sure he had the right personel?

[Million$Mullet]

Nope.

Like I said it’s a feeling. You don’t know what the future holds. We are going into game 4.

Were you at the rice game? Did you see the sideline interaction? Did you realize that Ben was chosen to run the team at the end of the game and not take every 3rd series?

You’re so quick to want to tell everyone they are wrong and that you are the one to know everything. Through 3 games now the offense has flowed better with Ben at QB. Like I said I think by the end of the year he will be getting the majority of the snaps.

Until that does or doesn’t happen you can go somewhere else with the BS. You can’t say my feeling wasn’t correct when I said “eventually he would start to get the majority of the snaps” but then again you probably know the future since you already know most people before they were born Mr. All knowing omnipotent one!

What a ____ show. Nothing else to say except, learn and move on.

I’ve seen every game twice once live and once on replay. One thing that jumps out is this team is not close to being as discipline or as fundamentally sound as teams in the past. In years past Napier he had a strict rule we don’t talk to our opponents. In the last 3 games there has been more chirping with the opponent than Napier’s years combined. Not to mention that we had a player Saturday who was on the sideline, not in a game, take kick at a player on the ground and get ejected, and another get a personal foul for taking a swing at the opponent and he was very lucky he wasn’t ejected also. This would have never happened in Napier’s years because of the discipline he instilled into his players.

As far as fundamentals we have played maybe 3 good quarters out of the 3 games. Guys are constantly out of position or making bone head mistakes. O line has been atrocious. Rices front lived a yard deep in the Cajuns back field all night. It will be hard to beat anyone with O line play like that.

Not sure how much of either will get fixed this year. Both are issues you start building on in the off-season program, from January through training camp. Definitely that is where the discipline of your football team is instilled. We heard from players coming out of spring that CMD was much easier on them than CBN and that things were more laid back. Coincidence? Maybe. IMO it’s hard to be easygoing and laidback and have the discipline and intensity that Billy brought at the same time.

Agree with everything you said. It's obvious, no doubt about it now with 3 games in. It needs to be corrected, hopefully it will.

Agree 100%. Some people on here suggested the changes made to fall camp was about where one sleeps. No. The reason fall camp was the way Billy and Hud had it is because it creates a regime of discipline, a mind set that develops toughness. I have seen exactly what you are seeing and don’t think for a second it is not directly related to camp changes and other off season leniencies.

This thread is nothing but an old fashion witch hunt.

[CajunEXPRESS]

the team loses one game and people already threatening to pull season tickets. between the geniuses here and on that facebook page maybe were better off without fans. some pretty stupid stuff out there

One loss, but three consecutive poorly played games. Not a reason to quit for a fan for sure. Still the Cajuns aren’t providing very much fun for money spent. Yeah, money is important to some, and enjoyment to virtually everyone.
