Up Next McNeese

I haven’t seen anything that makes me believe we are a team that can come from behind in the fourth quarter. Coach ‘em up Dez! Go Cajuns!

Coach Desormeaux likes to go by the book which makes it hard to come from behind, because they have the book too.

The two point conversion in the third is by the book but it sends a desperation message to the team that we won't score again.

Kids in their first C game ever feel the desperation pressure way more than anyone. ...

I don’t agree. It didn’t matter if we kicked the extra point. If we don’t score again we still lose. With two points we tie the game. If we don’t score again we don’t lose. We go into overtime. One would think our chances of winning would be better.

My thoughts as well. Being behind by 1 or 2 points didn't make a difference; except well if we got a safety on them. I liked the aggressiveness.

If Beale is our QB then we will lose by 21. If someone else, we will lose by 3. Sorry, we are bad from coach to players.

Just to balance things out a little, I expect our team (the Ragin Cajuns) to make a big improvement over last week and we will win.

Fais-do-do, please don't look up for awhile.

Don’t disagree but will add what a psychology professor who enjoys football told me about the two point conversion. He loves analytics as data but talked about morale post touchdown (high success) and extra point (success but much lower impact). So if you make an extra point kicking you add to the high success you’ve achieved. If you make two point conversion you’ve ratcheted it up significantly more. If you fail at two point conversion you’ve lowered your emotional level and raised the morale of the other team. They’ve given up a touchdown but they have now stopped the opposing team.
These aren’t his exact words but my understanding of his analysis. Maybe explains why I’ve always preferred late in game 2 point conversions. When not made it just seems like we’re always trying to catch up.
But as noted, didn’t have an affect on final outcome or opportunity to win at the end of the game.
