LGT Sunbelt Championship Final: Louisiana 3, Marshall 31

[ZoomZoom]

On that particular day, Marshall was better, deeper, healthier, more skilled, more prepared and luckier. Not saying every day, just when it counted Saturday.

I suspect that (in the last game) if the offense does their thing, the defense overperforms.

Absolutely, because at a minimum, you keep Marshall's offense off the field during sustained drives, and the defense gets a bit of rest.

Not sure if you are trolling (which I hope you are), but...

Did you even watch the game?

If so, how can you not realize we had our 3rd string QB (Daniel Beale) in the game who is a true freshman.

Last year (December 2023), Beale was still playing high school football. Going into the game against Marshall, his college career consisted of two passes attempts with one completion for three yards.

Going into this game, the Cajuns were averaging 35.6 points per game. We only scored three points this game. I'm sure you don't understand why we only scored three points this game, so maybe you should start another thread asking that question.

No, I watched the paint dry on my house. I wouldn't have asked the questions IF there were none to ask. And quit blaming the freshman QB, like it was on him at all. Doesn't this team have any upper classmen to take it upon themselves to pick up the pace & realize when they're getting their butts handed to them served up on a skewer? UL got soundly whipped on all sides of the ball including special teams when you count our marvelous 20 yard punting average.
The fact that Fields got taken out the way he did should have been a hint that those guys were out for blood. Our guys were out for ice cream & a soda. from top to bottom inside & out these guys played like hot garbage. The only reason Marshall didn't score 70 is because they are incapable of scoring 70.

Kyle, did you go to the game?

[Bandwagon King]

Uhh, maybe because we had to play our true freshman 3rd string QB against a team that would have been a tough out even with our starter, or backup? It was 7-3 with us driving when Chandler was hurt. Chandler stays in, our offense is better, taking pressure off of our defense.

Why so many want to insult these kids effort is beyond me.

What effort? Even the punter didn't put out. Give it a rest & quit being such a suck up dude. It's obvious you don't care any more than anyone else. So quit with the relentless hypocrisy of oh the boys played their little itty bitty hearts out. They ain't boys at this point. And not any of them has to worry about picking their guts up off the field because they left them there on their shields. It didn't happen that way at all.

Kyle, did you go to the game?

I can gladly say no. And it was barely watchable on television when compared the effort I saw from SMU who blasted back from a BIG deficit in Clemson's back yard only to lose a real heart breaker. The bottom line is this was a CHAMPIONSHIP game & the attitude necessary to play in it simply was NOT there.
So, my questions are: Does this coaching staff recognize this complete lack of effort? Do they think they can fix the lack of effort for their bowl game?

Gotta look at the defense here. Last I saw these QB's weren't out there playing defense. Gave up 31 at your own house on a big stage begs the question. It is what it is.

With better ball control and overall offensive play the defense would not have been on the field as long. The Cajuns were still exposed.

[JMV JustMyView]

Yes...our lack of offense and moving the chains didn't help our D. And, I don't think we win with CF if he had not been injured....but with BW, it could have ended differently. BW would have been able to audible out of things and take advantage of their fronts due to his ability to read defenses. A 7 year veteran vs. a true FR at QB is night and day difference. If you recall, even when DB had some protection, he didn't get the ball out quickly which is understandable. With BW, a INT or 2 with those tipped passes, we could have pulled it out.

Rick do you have any eligibility left? Lol

Kyle start supporting the Cajuns with season tickets, rcaf donations, NIL collective and sports specific funds or shut up. Dude let your crap from 12 years ago go.

I’m ready for this clown to leave the bandwagon for good.

WTF are you even referring to? You may not know this, but your opinion isn't required & surely isn't needed on every single thread ever made on this forum.

And pray tell what that has to do with the issue at hand.
