LGT Final: Louisiana 33 Tulane 41

[Swamp]

"meant Nothing" is right, but that doesn't make it right.


So you expected a shut out the rest of the way by Louisiana's defense and field goal by the offense?

That would mean one was content to play for overtime two minutes into the second half.

Those calls should be reserved for when no more scoring is expected, like in the last two minutes of the second half, not the first two minutes of the second half when 31 more points were to be scored.

Not me. I wasn't thinking of game final one bit. Momentum was there, get 2. Enough about that, meant Nothing. Passing game is not adequate for plays called.

Negative. I'd cramp up on way to first huddle then overheat on way back.

I think the game shows we deserve to be in talks when top G5 teams are mentioned. Pick 6 and KR for TD separated us. Sucks to lose that game, but I still feel good about the season moving forward.

We need to manufacture some takeaways on defense, and I know that directly correlates to pressuring the QB.

That throw for the pick 6 looks like it was a miscommunication between Wooldridge and Terrance Carter. Encouraging to drive back down the field before half and get some points, although we had 2 good chances for a TD.

But that Tulane KR was extremely deflating coming out of half.

Just reading that K.C. Ossai missed the second half with an upper body injury. That makes sense as to how much they ran the ball down our throats in the second half. We need him back asap.

Didn't even realize that while at the game. That was a huge loss as he is our best backer and also limited our subs which we needed when playing on 125 degree turf

Plus he calls out the adjustments.

Texas put Arch on the field for the monrovians. YOU could've been the qb in that game! Ben's put up the best numbers against Tulane so far. Some bad decisions and 2 huge mistakes cost us this game.

Texas put Arch in because Ewers was injured in the 1st half last week. He is week to week right now. And Texas has a TON of top tier talent surrounding any QB.
Lunch (from what I’ve read) has an arm injury of some sort.

The problem I have with our offense is the same problem I had with it under Napier. We have our best players on the sideline way too much. I understand the idea of the rotation but Bill Davis should be getting work horse treatment. Let him touch the ball 15-20 every game.

At WR, Harvey Broussard should be in on damn near every snap.

100 % agree. If you want to win, you have to play your best. Bill is our best.

I just want to clarify that K.C. being out the 2nd half is not why they completely ran all over us. Their OL had a huge push. But it would have helped greatly.

Their OL had a huge push.

This. Their OL bullied our DL.

Ben was under pressure the majority of the game. This is the reason we need players like Zeon Chriss and Levi Lewis. Pass protection has been and will continue to be a problem when we go up against good teams. When Houston poached our QB it all but ensured that we won’t be winning the big games.

I stated ad nauseum for Des to start Zeon before the start of last season. Neither Ben nor Fields are game changers. I'd have much rathered start Zeon and let him learn last year. This rationale that you gotta start "the veteran" guy "just because", didn't work did it? Because they were gonna give us a better chance to win? How'd that work out? Another mediocre season. But hey, now we have these "vets" that are keeping us mediocre. Is it squarely on the QB? Of course not. But now Zeon is gone and we're stuck with the same "game managers". I just want to know how and where we have improved as a team under Des. It's year 3 and it's the SAME story. Same struggles. Not sure how anyone couldn't see this was going to be the result. I know it's still early and the season isn't over, and I honestly was very optimistic that this year would be different. But so far, it's the same crap. First 2 games/opponents was fools gold. Just incredibly frustrating that we blew an incredible opportunity to seize the moment to capitalize on our success under Napier and did what we do. . . we USL'd it.

Napier was fools gold, he just got out before we could get the Jeweler to put that little solution on him to test him . . .
