LiveGameTalk Final: Louisiana 22, South Alabama 24

[Duggie35]

FWIW, I will sum up my feelings:

1) I am very disappointed at the result of the South Alabama game. I was not expecting that.

2) I am very excited and pleased with the way this 2024 football season is going.

3) As far as attendance goes, I don’t care and will not worry about people who do not attend. I prefer to continue showing up and enjoy the games with all like minded fans!

That is all.

Yes, our goals are still in front of us. I agree that a two-loss season would be well within the expectations I had going into the season. However, the team has performed above expectations. This team was getting noticed for winning and had become part of a national CFP conversation. This is where we want to see Louisiana Football, in conversations discussing CFP contenders because with it comes notoriety and it reflects the trajectory of the program to conferences and recruits.

The loss last night took us out of the CFP conversation and in my opinion was avoidable. It shouldn't have taken the coaching staff until halftime to make defensive adjustments. Furthermore, we needed to have a greater sense of urgency in the 2nd half and opened up the playbook on offense. Overall, this loss was disappointing because we have the talent to not only win the conference but to also be part of the national CFP conversation. This loss shut the door on that conversation. I think casual fans and this community don't have a strong tie to the SBC and as a result want to see UL accomplish more. This was an opportunity to do just that, but the history we have of avoidable losses once again made an appearance. Yes, our goal of winning the conference and a bowl game remain in front of us. Some of us are just hungrier for more.

Well considering the only way we don’t host is losing another game…think I’d rather win out and host. We can worry about Dez’s and the team’s performances then.

The blowout against Arky State was at home as well.

Besides, based on the current Conference standings, Marshall is inclined to win the Eastern Division and, considering how they've been playing this season, I would rather play them in CAJUN FIELD than out there.

JMU would help our Top 25 case more than Marshall. Just saying.

Unfortunately, that doesn't matter anymore.
Marshall is a better brand, IMO

This leads me to believe that if we finish 11-2 we will end up around 25 in the AP.

Just depends who ranked around UL wins or loses.

Note, Boise, a non A4 team, has plateaued around 12/13. How convenient

They’ll be lower than 13 even if they run the table come selection time.

Better to lose now to South Alabama than to Troy or ULM or the conference championship or the bowl game, NO?
