I believe that this year’s season may be Coach Ds best so far.

Second half of the season I totally agree.

First half he made some momentum killing decisions like trying to win games in the first half going for two way to early which if you don't make subtly kills the joy of the touchdown.

But the second half, he seems to be thinking clearly and quickly.

Above all doing more with less.

Kudos to Mike.

60's comments were more related to leadership from the coaching staff vs in game decisions. There is ZERO doubt these guys play with passion for each other and their coaches. Also, they are in on the battle until the final whistle. All cajun fans should be thrilled with the way this bunch represents the brand from that aspect. Considering the circumstances, last night's victory was as satisfying for this long time fan as any in recent memory.

Yes, it was only 2nd down. Can't advance on 4th down. But the play should have been blown dead long before that happened.

Only the player who fumbles can advance the ball within the last 2 minutes of a half. Therefore, the officials should probably have blown the whistle as soon it was obvious Raynor would not be able to recover it. The late whistle is one reason A State fans are upset on some social media platforms. They believe a penalty should have been called on the Cajuns sideline for entering the field before the game was officially over. In all the confusion, our guys probably could not hear the whistle and assumed the game was over as forward progress had been stopped. Someone mentioned to me today that the replay guys may have confirmed the fumble and concluded game was over at that point. It was a quick decision. Probably not a factor in the potential penalty from our sideline as I don't think you can invoke a non called penalty upon review. Regardless, some A State fans are furious no penalty was called on our sideline for entering field early.

Whats the SBC west 4-way tiebreaker?

[RedBug58]

How could they be furious? No one was there. (Except a State Trooper in the end zone). Lunch shook his hand to thank him for coming to the game.

We had 11 penalties to their 1, stAte fans might want to shut up about lack of penalties called in that game.

So pretty close to the same ending as 2016. Never know what will happen when we play stAte!

I didn't see it mentioned earlier or I might have missed it being mentioned but cornerback Brent Gordon had an outstanding game and was a huge reason the Cajun defense did as well as they did. He has had an excellent freshman season. Hope we can keep him.
