PRIME: Michael Desormeaux

[2 ul 0105]

Hopefully it is a very tough decision for the coaches to make. That would mean that we've been winning. But just for argument sake; exactly what "wasn't working" with Babb leading the offense? Seems to me they were starting to click very well (ref: NWSt game).
Shof

They were starting to click well againist Northwestern State, but that was a division II team. Maybe I should have phrased that differently both may work but it Desormeaux works BETTER than we should stick to with him and not feel so loyal to Babb. He has done great things and I am not saying that he isn't a good quarterback but the best QB should play. If Michael goes out and gets us some wins and looks impressive doing it then we should stick with him. If he doesn't then go back to Babb. Simple as that.

Is it Desormeaux?? or Desameaux?

I mean I now how to spell it, but how does he pronounce it?

Babb should get his position back. Desormeaux will get his chance, he's only a freshmen. The QB position looks good for the future.

It is pronounced Des-er-meaux.

Which one is it. Should you not lose your position or should the better qb play????????????

This is not kindergarden class. So say Babb comes back in 3 weeks hypothetically and we win these next three games impressively because of Desormeaux's play. Should we just go back to what wasn't working before because we don't want people's feelings hurt. Winning cures everything if we would win three straight games with D-Mo not one person on the field or in the stands would disagree with D-Mo staying at QB. Go Desormeaux

This is the exact issue that I wanted to raise! I think it would be crazy to remove a player who has the ability to put "W's" in the most important column! We all love Babb...But don't lose sight of the overall purpose of the program! Just think of all the different plays that our offense could run with Dez-Mo and J.B. on the field at the same time! J.B. would be great as a roaming flanker! With his understanding of the game...he would create mis-matches all over the second and third levels of the defenses that we face, simply because of cognative apptitude! Think of the QB now WR who is playing for Jacksonville Jags now!

People have to realize that this was Desormeaux's first game and to be honest with you it really wasn't because he didn't practice as the starter all week he was the backup until the game started. I think right now Babb is probably the better person to be starting but if Desormeaux does get a couple of games under his belt I think his upside and potential is 10 fold over Babb. Again let me make it clear that I am not againist Babb I think he is a great guy on and off the field but we need to win and over the course of the whole season I think Desormeaux will get us more wins. Everyone needs to embrace him like they did Babb when he came in as the inexperienced freshman. GOOD LUCK

Amazing.

Jerry Babb has the highest completion percentage in UL history. He has shown the ability to take over a game.

I think Michael did well. But, he's not ready YET to take us out of third and long situations.

Babb is the quarterback when he is healthy....and unless he gets hurt or gets decisively beaten out, he will be the quarterback through the 2006 season.

There may be plays where the two play at the same time. There may be times that Coach Bustle uses both quarterbacks in the same game.

But Babb is the starter. Make no mistake about that.

Can someone tell us just what is wrong with Jerry Babbs shoulder. I saw him get hurt but did not see an injury report!

Family members/friends/old class mates, always seem to show up in times like this....

LOL!!!

Z, how can you not see the clarity of Jay's statement. Injury's have been handled that way for years (amateur, college {which I believe is actually semipro}, and pro). But...Maybe a paradigm can be broken. Not a fan of Birds Eye View? :o

LOL!!!

Did coach bustle mention anything about changes to the offensive play calling for the game against FAU to better suit Mike D.'s ability?
