LGT Sunbelt Championship Final: Louisiana 3, Marshall 31

[Jacob81]

The QB didn't matter in THIS game. Nobody is talking about the rest of the season in any other individual game. You know exactly what I'm saying. Not sure why you're trying to move the goal post.

"What I do know is the true freshman having to come in because of the loss of the 6th year senior QB is the biggest reason we lost the game."

So let me get this straight. You think if Fields doesn't get hurt, we win that game? You don't think it was the fact we got dominated at the LOS on both sides, couldn't tackle, etc etc. That the biggest reason was losing Fields????

Fields got hurt with 3/4 of the game to play and less than a 1 score game. Why would I not think we could have won the game.

Look, we just didn't have any fire. I think Marshall was out there to prove a point and came out of the gate swinging. We never matched their energy. Sometimes individuals just have bad games. Sometimes the team as a whole just has a bad game. Am I upset about it? You bet. We've had w games, I feel, that we just went out and s___ the bed. Marshall and South Al. I predicted at the beginning of the season that we'd have double digit wins. Overall, I feel like this season was a success. Des has shown improvement and I think He only gets better from here. Next season could be his most challenging yet. I think depending on if we can shore up the line through the portal will determine that. And I dont think anyone can really argue that the staff has done a pretty good job of bringing in, and more importantly, develop, incoming talent. I know I come off as insufferable here, and drone on ad nauseum on things sometimes. (I can already hear some of you, "SOMETIMES?!") but I'm a huge fan, and I'm a realist. Some people don't want to hear it. I get it. I hope nobody takes any of my rantings personally. I love all you guys. And since Vic is on "vacation" I'll say, nobody aggravated me more than him. But I kept inviting him over to visit and he finally did. And you know what? He's a pretty good dude in real life.....still annoying on here, but a good dude.LoL. And I extend the same invite to each and every one of you. Would love to finally meet a bunch of you at some point. This is my sappy Christmas post. At the end of the day, we won 10 games and that's awesome! I think our future is bright, despite our frustration with our admin. But there are a dedicated group of guys that are beginning to take it upon ourselves to make things better. If we all work together and pull the rope in the same direction, we can accomplish some great things. In the meantime.....all your opinions are wrong, and mine are bold, insightful and true! LoL! J/k

Good post

Ok, good job. This post makes sense.

Sounds like you found answers to most of the questions.

Merry Christmas

GEAUX CAJUNS!

You might have found your answer. That is IF you even know what the question was to begin with. My question is why this team didn't come out ready in the 1st half followed up with why they didn't come out to play in the 2nd half either. And has anyone who has "inside connections" like so many here boast to have found out why? And will it be addressed, or is it that everyone caught the stomach flu at the same time? Merry Christmas & go Cajuns to you.

A wise coach told me years ago, when it comes to major disappointments in sports, be it loss, injury, replaced, little or no offers to next level, the players get over it. The moms and dad fail to take Elsa's advice...let it go.

Fields got hurt with 3/4 of the game to play and less than a 1 score game. Why would I not think we could have won the game.

Because you saw the rest of the game.

LoL! This is so true. And as a player, you HAVE to put it behind you.

Because you saw how garbage both of our lines were the entire game.

Plus he was driving to go up by 3 and the next play was already called.

Everything about how Marshall reacted would have been different.

Try to understand that a 6th year senior QB and good offensive play caller can figure out a way to move the ball through the air causing the defense to take players out of the box opening up the running game. The offense was constantly blocking more players than they used to block said players. Once the freshman entered the game Marshall had no reason to respect the pass game and kept 7-8 in the box and kept walking up a safety.

Also our defense has struggled at the LOS all season. We have a ball control offense and a bend don’t break defense that caused turnovers. Those things didn’t play out Saturday. I’m good moving on. I have my opinion and everyone else is entitled to theirs. Just don’t act like this team didn’t give effort or care as much about winning as Marshall did. That’s stupid talk.

One of the players now in the portal sure looked like he didn’t give a ____ out there

You are an ignorant blow hard. If the program loses “fans” like you then so be it. You don’t ask questions for solutions. You present situations for you to be able to tell everyone else how they were wrong. It’s always the ultimate setup so you can talk down on little ol UL (and UL fans) and tell everyone I told you so. You’ve been an arrogant, loudmouth ass hole for 20 plus years spewing your nonsense on 1420 then ragin pagin when you wanted hud to do you favors. You are the worst type of fan and the program is better off without people like you.

Yeah he never got over the Hud request.
