Several reasons to believe UL football is ready to contend in 2024

[Turbine]

The more I think about it the more I am cautiously optimistic for the upcoming season. Hard to gauge other Sun Belt schools at this time due to many teams high player turnover but we could contend for a conference championship. Hopefully it is time for Dez to shine.

Sums it up for me as well.

6’ 6” 330 lbs OL Tyler Folmar just committed too.

This class is FULL of hogs!

Robert Hunt and K Dot getting paid this off season can't hurt o line recruiting

Doesn't hurt. That's pretty obvious. But, how much does it help?

I knew Elijah Davis was good last year, but I didn’t realize he was 235 pounds! Man, he’s a load!! Could be fun this year!!!!

Who’s calling the offensive plays? IMO, until that changes, our offense will not live up to its full potential.

I agree. He seems to be devoting all his attention to focusing on the next play rather than taking control of his team. From my point of view, there appears to be a disconnect.

Is Billy still calling plays?

[Jacob81]

While I would be all for the play caller and head coach not being the same person, Billy’s play calling made me scratch my head as much if not more than Dez. I think the issue is if Dez thinks he’s the best person to call plays and doesn’t realize it’s affecting his head coaching ability. Maybe a slightly worse play caller mixed with a better overall head coach would lead to more success.

With that said, this is the year for an up swing. I think the talent and experience on this roster is epic. This team will be special. Time to turn some heads.
