LGT Final: Louisiana 33 Tulane 41

[Turbine]

I’ll disagree. I think our offense is on par with theirs but Tulane’s defense is way ahead of ours right now. Could we beat them, yes, but the better team won that day.

Liked "that day"

The ONLY reason we lost to toolame is because we gave up that pick-6 and that kickoff return-6 to start the second half!

The idea that Tulane dominated the line of scrimmage is just not true. Cajuns averaged more per rush and threw pretty much at will. We outgained Tulane in the game as well. Not saying we were better upfront but we weren’t dominated. I think both teams struggled to tackle. I think the heat on the field had a lot to do with it.

We had 2 more possessions than Tulane due to the Pick 6 and KO return. That is why our offensive numbers look better than the Wave. I am not taking away anything from our offense but our defense did struggle in 2nd half of that game.

So did theirs.

I did not realize a change of possession "that scores" does not count as a possession.

...our OFFENSE scored more than their offense….the KO RETURN now shows it should have been called back with Tulane having terrible field position to start the second half…..the Pic6 was a miscommunication that would have moved the chains for us! We match up with Tulane any day we play them!

They scored 27 offensive points while passing for 80+ yards. They ran the ball for 280+ yards and wore us down through the game. We got no sacks and little pressure on the QB when they did pass. Sure, we averaged more ypc as you state but on 20 less carries which was buoyed by the one big run we got from Bill. They consistently averaged more ypc which is what really wore us down on a hot day. I'd say they controlled the LOS

[Cajunrunner]

Dominated at the LOS, not dominated at the LOS. I'll post these stats, and everyone can decide for themselves.
