Minnesota game week/predictions

[CajunVic]

I believe it is, if you look at the guys who are making the bulk of these mistakes (fumbles in particular), Zylan Perry, Freshman--Jacob Bernard, First year punt returner--Interception, between Zeon Chriss (Freshman) and Rob Williams (Sophomore, first year starter).

I think these are just young mistakes and things that can and will get cleaned up.

. . . I guess you not buying the dorm thing . . .

So I too watched the replay and that's was a bad game by the gophers. I watched their Nebraska game too and they were bad in that game so I wonder if that's is their team. I agree with what the mullets is saying. They are a P5 team with some talent but they look lost out there.

Pitbull Fleck's coaching reminds me HUD with his row the boat slogan and all. Fleck is in 7th year now so I wonder if all his cliques are start to wear on many. He's a great recruiter but he just got out coached by a interim guy in program in complete shambles.

On the team itself, Darius Taylor Is the only one on offense that scares me. He busted a few that looked they should have been tfl's into nice gains. The back up that came in look serviceable but lacks Taylor's talent. He'll be as good as their OLine is. OLine looks good running straight but seems to lack lateral speed. NW was constantly in the backfield.

That's the main problem for their QB. Kali something, it's Greek rhymes with Zack Galifianakis, anyways the dudes got talent big strong tough decent speed but like his OLine he has slow lateral movements and not accurate when he has to scramble. That throw to the TE in overtime should have been a TD but he over threw it a tad as he was scrambling to his right. He over threw it to a wide receiver earlier in the 1st quarter too but the WR made an amazing one handed catch. Other that the WRs didn't do much that stuck out.

Their defense puzzles me. Looks like they should be good but they've been playing some bad teams. They couldn't contain the shifty little back from NW and gave up some crucial 1st downs to the NW QB. I'm talking about 3rd and 12 scrambles that shouldn't happen.

Dave mentioned that they are getting their safety back and that should help but their CB looked real bad. NW has one talented receiver Henning that was playing on a bum leg and they were letting him get open in-between zones. NW has a big possession type receiver that they let burn them for an 80 yard TD. UM has nickleback, kid from La, that has some speed and can blitz but he too gets lost in coverage.

I'm excited. I don't know how the gophers are gonna respond after that rough game. They have some talent but I don't think they've faced a QB as dynamic as Zeon. On offense our skill position are faster across the board than NW was but can the OLine give them the time to execute. 11 am is a great time. Maybe half of them don't show up. We did good the last time we had an 11 am game against a P5. LFG

First off, if I had a bankroll, Jeaux would be on the payroll. Jack Henderson is the kid from Louisiana that you are speaking of, he played against us for SLU last year and he is a good one and has been playing well for them, but they have had major issues in the defensive backfield besides him.

Yeah that's the kid. If Minnesota can disguise the blitz it'll give our O-line fits but if Zeon can recognize it and hit broussard on quick slant he can gash that defense real big. I don't think they've faced a team with our speed yet

Gopher Gumbo: 45-21 Cajuns

Going with the over. 38-28 Good guys.

[Balanced_view]

Coming out party for Coach Dez and crew. SBC road games will feel more intimidating than this week.

Louisiana - 45
Minnesota - 27

. . . this looks more like a political advertisement than a prediction . . .

Good points I am with you. I am concerned about the Cajuns ability to finish and put a close game away after the last 2 weekends. Way to many mental errors. Fumbles and muffs…etc. Des even said they are not doing the little things like proper grip, getting their bodies under the ball…What do you think is causing the lack of detail? Just youth?
