LiveGameTalk Final: Louisiana 22, South Alabama 24

Oh yeah....After the first 5 series...

Not sure if you’re scoffing at the fact that it took our defense forever to show up for the game or that they actually did it quicker than 5 series. First 3 TDs. Then we fumble the ball to them at our own 48. Force a punt. We go 3 and out. They start at their 34. Force a punt. We throw a pick. They start at their 47. FG. No points after that.

The entire team didn’t show up prepared to win a football game. Coaches included. Fs all around for the 1Q. The defense rebounded in enough time to where if our offense and Des could’ve pulled their heads out of their backsides sooner we could have recovered. I think most of us would have taken 24 points allowed coming in to that game.

I keep seeing that this was a tale of two halves, and I’m not sure what game those people were watching. Our offense didn’t score a TD until 8 minutes left in the 4Q, despite having USA gift us the ball at their own 21 in the 3Q.

Flush it and move on sure, but now we are down our starting QB and our o-line hasn’t shown yet they can establish a consistent running game. I’m hopeful but not as optimistic as others here.

I cant speak to why the defense wasn't ready in the first half but I noticed a few games this year where the defensive coordinator made great adjustments at half time. This game was probably his best second half correction.

especially since he began it at the end of the first half . . .

1. Can we get speaker issue fixed, having sit on the hill with my toddler it is super loud there. Hopefully speakers will be throughout the stadium.

We have to have the loudest sound system in the country. If we watch on TV, there are many times where the sound system is so loud, you can barely hear the commentators. Often, it appears to get louder in the 3rd and 4th quarter.

PA operator is definitely trying to take the place of crowd noise. I'm very curious to measure the decibel level in the stadium. Yesterday, I was looking at various apps to try this. Dont know how well they work but I plan on trying some out for the game this Sat.

They don’t care. A large donor (one with their name on something) in the dome inquired about levels and was told it wasn’t changing.

Sure CF is the same.

I didnt realize we were watching a football game at a library.

Ha, we are, and we want the "people" in the library to make some noise, not depending on the piped in elevator music to get people to raise their hands to their head.

If the "people" would make some noise maybe they wouldnt have to pipe in music. We can go about this both ways lol

I'm not sure what it is, but people in Lafayette seem quite subdued. I recently attended a small live music venue in New Orleans and couldn't help but notice how much more energetic and engaged the crowd was compared to those in Lafayette. Purely anecdotal, but I think it's definitely a thing...

Good point.

No spirit leader... no spirit.
