LGT Final: Louisiana 23, Texas State 17

How about running the ball on 3rd and 10 when down 6 to 0. Washington gets stuffed vs breaking one to the house and Dez would be an idiot in the view of some folks. We have run the ball with success on third and long frequently this year. Hopefully that helps the passing game in remaining contests.

Because most people who say bad plays are bad play calls are judging solely by the outcome of that play. Never factoring in any other factors such as what the defense did, how the play was executed etc. I’m sure some in here are qualified to determine in real time which were bad calls and which were bad execution or good defense. But I bet the number on this forum is small, and I bet few of them ever say anything.

I’ll say the 4th and 5 play was a bad call or at least bad personnel. You know the out was the first and only read on the play so it’s going to 81. Not to bash the kid but he has more drops than catches this season. Should have had 9,3,15, or 4 there

Agreed.

What ____ storm? And I agree with nearly everything you posted there that I can. When did I say you didn’t support Mike? I definitely never said, implied or tried to imply that. Who said you can’t have your opinion?

Some people think getting to have an opinion means never having it questioned.

Sorry if I misread who was upset by my comments. Thanks

Yes, Ben checked to the play where Washington went for the touchdown. Mike said as much after the game.

And, once you've seen the movie, it's much easier to understand the plot. Criticizing play calls is easy once you've seen the call and it doesn't work. Mike knows as much about all of your occupations as you know about his. But, we've second guessed from the beginning of time and we will continue to do so. It's just who we are and there's nothing wrong with that. Just putting it into perspective.

[Jacob81]

There have been crucial plays where the ball goes to some non starters. I’m assuming with the speed of the game Dez calls plays not necessarily knowing what personnel is on the field. There’s probably been plays he’s called and then looked up and saw LL or Carter not on the field for a play called for them.

Perhaps those other receivers had asked for a blow. Was not Ben’s best throw either

I have a hot sports opinion.

Fact: Our QB Ben 10 is on pace to have statistically the best year in UL history.

Using Hindsite and on field performance we all have seen this year....ZC did our program a Yuge favor. No way....ZERO chance we are winning these close games week after week without Ben 10 as our on field leader. Ben's on field reads in real time on RPO decisioning and his overall passing game is far and away more complete vs ZC. We never needed a run 1st oriented QB to be successful, we needed a leader.

There’s been a couple times in the season I’ve had to double take at who dropped a ball on 3rd or 4th down. Tulane game comes to mind. I saw 33 drop a slant route and was like “is that a linebacker??” Had to pull up my roster.

Ironically I think Ben checked to that run on that play.

He did, the safety walked down in the box.
