Live Game Talk: Louisiana vs. Old Dominion University

[JMV JustMyView]

Now ask yourself, why was it important?

Big time players make big time plays. It didn't happen when the money was on the line.

Disappointing loss, but here is the deal. I told you guys months ago that the defense was going to go through growing pains this year. They are going to improve.

The offense is fine. We scored nearly as many points on them as Virginia Tech did last week.

It was disturbing to see just how much their up tempo messed us up. That’s coaching.

Hopefully our staff improves this year as well.

ODU is good.

The up tempo was key. They spread us out to run it and then hit big pass plays with the up tempo. They snapped it within a few seconds after the three or four yard gains. Got behind us too easily. The drive before half when they ran it so often really hurt. They spread us out with formations and continually ran it. Looked to me like we may have been expecting pass most of the drive. We adjusted some in second half in run game but not to degree needed. That allowed the big pass plays.

He couldn't make the most important throw of the game. Get out of here with that crap.

Now ask yourself. Why was it important? It's D that wins games.

I will say this. That was a horrible throw but BW didn't let ODU torch us in the 3rd quarter and get that big lead. He played well all game and did what he had to but that last throw was bad but he's not the issue.

. . . we going to need lots of cheese to go with all this whining . . .

I have second hand embarrassment for you.

OK, but the receiver may have been stopped up anyway because for some strange reason we continue to call plays short of the sticks.

Adopt or adapt? Do you know the difference?

If a defense pitches a shut out don't you still have to score to win the game?

Spill the beans.

. . . the amusement and silliness from this board kills the pain just a little bit . . . the wine should take care of the rest . . . tonight, Stagg’s Leap Petit Syrah . . . was a nice wine
