G5 Final: Louisiana 17, South Alabama 20

[Big Buds]

Absolutely. Levi was a proven winner. Every time someone suggested benching Levi for Fields last year, I just had to chuckle. Absurd.

It is too bad that the coaching staff made huge blunders down the stretch and did not afford Ben the opportunity to win the game in OT. That could have been a big momentum swing.

I can handle getting beat on the field. But when your coaching staff makes absurd mental blunders as it did in the closing minute tonight, it is simply difficult to accept. Especially when the team/offense is struggling but found a way to get back into the game late.

Proud of the way the players fought. This coaching staff? Oh brudder.

Two extremely costly time management blunders.

1. End of first half not taking a TO and getting an extra play in to get a better distance for your FG.

2. Taking the TO with 40-50 seconds left and 2nd or 3rd down. You left time when you had the opportunity to leave no time.

I agree, both of these are very questionable. Espete end of the 1H, I think there was 20-25 seconds wasted which is more than one play.

I don’t mind the declining of the holding, because it is 3rd and long with a time out remaining. Assuming you hold the, you get a chance to win the game in regulation.
Unfortunately, you give up a 20 yard run and then their WR makes an outstanding catch.

Had a friend that left a couple tickets on the dash of his truck. His door was locked, so someone decided to break out his window and leave him two more.

Shoot I got tickets to USM, TxSt and FSU

Did you get a call about the FSU tickets. I put in for two several months ago and have not received a call yet.
No matter The record my wife and I are going. I promised her an outing. My bad .

[Turbine]

Most here did not give us even a chance today and now a meltdown when we don’t finish.

Most of you got much better than you predicted. Let’s ride that into the next game . . .

I picked Louisiana to win, but I couldn't come up with a score.

I'm blaming it on the 4pm kickoff, the QB in the weight room and no students allowed on the 50.

The team started playing after 6pm. Louisiana Saturday Night or bust.

A Coulda, woulda shoulda game.

That is there jobs. If anyone with any broadcast organization says anything negative, Martin Hall is calling for their heads. Only happens if the contractor knows the ax is falling.

But looks like Mary Kay needs to send a box truck of lipstick to USL…

Went thru the all the coaches resume’. Worth the read.

Zoom—Understand and didn’t expect anything different—It’s just hard to be going through both the post Napier era AND the post Brees/Payton era at the same time…… sigh

[angeleast]

All boils down to a staff who by now, evidenced based , is clueless.. BN new what he was doing by dismantling our program to pillage our recruiting base and such.

What did that guy say?
