The game was a mirror of last year. Basically, only 1 play. A belly to the tailback and he either keeps it or Desormeaux pulls it out and runs. No passing game. The receivers never made any space between them and the DB and Desormeaux made terrible reads in throwing the ball. This offense looks terrible because we have no diversification. And our defense was non-existent. Our D line isn't too small. These guys are all 6' 4" or taller and our tackles are 290 - 300 and DE are over 250. I don't know what Gerald Broussard has been coaching them, but it ain't working. Isn't this the first time Broussard coaches the D line?
I still think this boils down to coaching and coaching philosophy. I just can't believe that we don't at least have the talent level of McNeese and look at what they did vs. North Carolina and against us last year. I want Bustle to succeed, but this is starting to border on the rediculous. To start another year with a debilitating loss like this is frustrating and demoralizing for us as fans, much less the players. If we get pummeled again in our next couple of games, we need to do something and make one of the assistants the interim head coach. I don't know how much more of this cr*p I can take. 3 years of Baldwin and now 7 years of Bustle combined with the poor final years of Stokelys and we are looking at almost 15 years of ineptitude. UL had better do something soon or no one will be attending our games and the 10,000 or so season ticket holders will feel like they were duped again. We are making too much progress in other areas to let the main driver of UL athletics take us down, AGAIN.
