It’s no secret the UL defense must do a better job of stopping the run this season.

“That message was said my first day here,” said defensive tackle Fitzgerald West, who transferred from LSU during the offseason. “It was understood that there was going to be a big emphasis on stopping the run.”

Cajuns defense gave up 3.9 ypc last season. Thats not bad so there must have been some ups and downs statistically. On the flip side Cajuns avg a yard better at 4.9.. big problem was 3rd and 1-2 yards was a struggle on the ground defensively.

It was a weird mix of success and failure.

You guys always bring this up as if it's a recruiting tool -- "come here and yoU'LL get plenty of playing time!"

The majority of high school athletes would likely rather go to a P4 school and ride the bench rather than come here and play.

They want to make the video at the table, picking from hats from LSU, Texas, etc. They want to go to the big school with the insane amenities for athletes. They want to go to the big campus with bigger parties and girls everywhere chasing the next pro athlete.

UL campus life sucks. The best thing it ever had was McKinley Street and we let a bunch of Karen's nuke it. Now its just a small school with not much going on, and an athletic program with 5-6k hard-core fans.

The issue a lot of these kids have is that they all think they are good enough to play at a big school when lots of them are not but make no mistake, they are not satisfied sitting the bench at a big school rather than playing at UL. See Walker Howard. See Fitzgerald West. See any player that has come here from a larger school. They come here because of particular coaches and the ability to play
