Live Game Talk: Louisiana vs. Minnesota

[CrappDaddy]

Interceptions were the difference. Much rather play these types of P5 schools every year. Like the Iowa States and Minn. we actually can compete sbd probably should have won the game if not for the interceptions, but I’m confident Zeon will learn from it. We just need to get a lower P5 to Cajun Field and I promise you we win that game.

Ball control was the difference. If we make a few stops in the 2nd half we would have still had a shot. Minnesota just did a good job of holding the ball and moving the game along.

We had 10 drives in the game. We scored on 4 of them.

[CharlieK]

We were beat on the LOS, badly. A few less mistakes, and a more fairly called game would have helped, but it’s hard to win when you can’t win up front.

[Grantvb]

Silver lining: no fumbles.

[Cajunrunner]

We don’t make halftime adjustments with this staff. That’s what I’ve gathered from the NOLA Bowl vs Marshall to now.

That’s Hud staff 2.0. Not good for long term success.

I want to be wrong. I really do. But I don’t think I am on this observation.

[CajunVic]

. . . I’m not sure how much weight we could have put on our linemen at halftime but we need to get that fixed . . .

[Esqueleto]

Coulda, shoulda, woulda. Oh well

I thought that a major turning point was the decision to go for it on 4th down at 50 yd line vs punt. Although Minn did not do much when they punted, they flipped the field. We have TO deep in our territory and they score. We never recovered. Lots of other oopses but I don’t think any as big as that series.
Scared money??

[CajunVic]

. . . I’m fact it’s not scared money but the opposite and the call was the right call . . .

[Cajunsmike]

Wow. Minn with only one penalty. Not one hold??
But no offsides, etc. Disciplined.

They finished the game with only one penalty.

I was pleased they went for it on 4th. We held, got a nice sack....they punted into EZ. The next series going 3 and out hurt us more than the not getting 1st down on 4th.

The call was wrong and stupid.

[ZoomZoom]

Coulda, shoulda, woulda. Oh well

Ah, stepping back in time…

[CajunNation]

If we had the roster from a couple years ago, we win this game, just like we beat Iowa State.

Minnesota had a size advantage on the line, and they took advantage.

Bottom line, we just got beat. Tip your hat and move on.

[Turbine]

At least one team made adjustments at halftime to come out scoring……

The tone was set on the last possession of the first half.

Minnesota went into half time knowing Louisiana was content.
