Ragin' Dave's ODU Breakdown

Unfortunately he lost his starting job and didn't record a single stat last night

That is unfortunate. It’s tough coming back from the type of injury he had. Hopefully he works his way back in.

After cruising to a 38-13 win in the opening week of the 2023 season, the Louisiana football team heads to the east coast to face Old Dominion in the team's Sun Belt Conference opener.

Kickoff from S.B. Ballard Stadium in Norfolk, Virginia, is slated for 5 p.m. CT with the game streaming on ESPN+ and can be heard locally on Hot 107.9 FM, The GOAT 103.3, ESPN 1420 AM, and globally via the Varsity Network.

The Ragin' Cajuns (1-0, 0-0 SBC) started the year with a bang as Dre'lyn Washington took the team's second play from scrimmage 62 yards for a touchdown. Ben Wooldridge had a strong return from injury, accounting for four touchdowns with three coming through the air. The Cajun ground attack was nearly unstoppable, racking up 206 yards, 6.1 yards per carry and rushing for two scores.

The defense allowed just 187 yards of total offense, their lowest total since 2016, and eight first downs. They held Northwestern State to 2-of-19 on third down and just 77 yards on the ground. The defensive front had a field day with five sacks, including a pair by Jordan Lawson.

Saturday's game is the inaugural meeting between the Cajuns and the Monarchs (0-1, 0-0 SBC), who enter their second season in the SBC. The Monarchs are coming off a 3-7 season in 2022 with a 2-6 SBC record, with wins over Arkansas State and Coastal Carolina. Last week, they fell at Virginia Tech, 36-17, despite a rushing attack that ran for 201 yards.

PRESS RELEASE

Admittedly, I'm not sure of the rule.

But if you can only have 7 people on the line of scrimmage, doesn't it appear (wth the right tackle so far back) that the slot receiver at the top of the image is at least even with, and maybe even in front of, the right tackle?

And wouldn't that make him ineligible?

Also, the image is blurry and I'm blind, but does it look like even the right guard is even a little farther back, allowing the right tackle to line up that much farther back? Making it appear that he may be in a legal position on the line?
