Final: Louisiana 34, Arkansas State 30

[HOUCajun]

A State fans will look at the statistic sheet and see an unused timeout and blame Butch but the fact is he had all the time in the world he needed to win thanks to Desormeaux calling timeouts for him. A State didn't lose because they ran out of time they lost because the Cajuns kept them out of the endzone on 4th down. If coach D wasn't buying them time the game would have ended on 2nd or probably third down because Butch would have been forced to burn his final timeout. The goal line stand won the game not them forgetting they had a timeout.

I disagree with all of this. Des called time outs when the clock was already stopped

Agree, timeouts were called right...had to give D a chance to catch breath and regroup

CMD didn’t buy them time, clock was stopped every time. He used his timeouts wisely once it was clear they would be useless since we would never get the ball back. Everyone was used to get us into better position or avoid a penalty.

The supposedly much more experienced Butch Jones ____ed his time management up badly on the last drive.

100 % incorrect. Des called the timeouts with the clock stopped to set up the defense and give it a rest after seeing what ASU had set up the offense. We used them very efficiently.

If people don’t show up next week then you all suck. This team has given 1000%. And they might go bowling. Show up and give them your support.

Agreed. I wish it was a night game instead of at 2:00. We would get a much bigger crowd and more enthusiasm. Doesn't make sense since its on the +.

The last game vs ULM is almost always at 2 pm. Doesn’t matter all the students will be out for Thanksgiving break. They were not at the last game anyway. Let’s all just show up and support our team. Who ever shows up. Let’s be loud and proud!

My grandson (7 yrs old) is coming in from Houston and I’m taking him to his very first football game! I told his dad that the young man was going to have his first beer. It’s legal in Louisiana isn’t it?

Yall are crazy, stopped clocks don't stay stopped without a timeout. The time bought thinking advantage in a timeout is always with the offense because timeout or no timeout the defense is only guessing either way. ps I already gave credit to the defense the real heros.
