PRIME: Michael Desormeaux

[cajunlove]

I know that when Desormeaux was in high school (my alma mater) he worked with five wide reciever sets. He was extremely effective in this type of offense and he did made quick and proper decisions. All that needs to happen is for him to get used to the speed of the college game. Once he gets more college game experience...watch out! Fellow Cajun fans, we have something very special in this young QB.

Geaux Cajuns.

I've always felt Desormeaux would be our best option at QB but always knew he would never get a shot seeing as that he was behind Babb. I think once he becomes more experienced and the coaching staff puts more faith in him we'll have one very dangerous QB.

Great showing Dez-Mo! Very fun to watch! You are incredible!

Michael Desormeaux was thrust into the spotlight early in Saturday night's home game with Central Florida at Cajun Field, and the redshirt freshman showed flashes of the skills that made him such a highly recruited quarterback two years ago. His hurdle of UCF tacklers on a 19-yard run was the kind of thing even Desormeaux couldn't fully explain afterwards, but that kind of move helped the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns rally from a 21-0 deficit to tie the Knights 21-21 in the fourth period. But there were also moments when he was betrayed by his inexperience, throwing two interceptions including one in the UCF end zone after the Cajuns blocked a punt. "I'd give myself a 5 out of 10," said Desormeaux, who rushed for 76 yards and threw for 119 more in the disappointing 24-21 defeat. "I did a couple of good things, but I made some mistakes that ended up being crucial to the team." The rest of the story Bruce Brown bbrown@theadvertiser.com

The talk in the crowd was that Babb broke his collarbone. If so, that's likely season ending...

Not true. My brother is trainer and said Babb has a sprained shoulder, and he should be fine. Maybe not by Thursday, but Jerry should not be out for the season.

Thanks for the update.

Once Babb gets back I believe he should be our starter but with how athleticly gifted Desormeaux is we have to get him on the field. When he jumped the defenders and stayed on his feet to pick up that first down I was shocked and amazed. Great effort I just wish the result of the game would have been different.

I like what I see in the quarterbacks. Babb with experience, Desormeaux young & with a lot of raw talent, and we know Hundley was awsome in High School & highly recruited.
Running backs are very impressive also.

The loss hurt last night, but the program IS moving forward.

I'm sorry, but the voice of reason is not allowed here.

Sorry CajunKate, but everyone has the right to their own opinion and it certainly doesn't make yours right. I've been around football for a long time and I can tell you this staff made some game mangement mistakes last night that were very obvious to most folks that know a little about football. Yes, we have talent and we are better off then four years ago.But there comes a time when potential must turn into results.If you don't believe that then just look at attendance last night.We are averaging less per game then last year.
It will be less if this staff does not start to win some of these games.That's just fact! Now you can label people bad fans all you want, but I will be at the game Thursday night.
