Unit’s play has helped improve rushing attack

LOUISIANA La. — Chester Johnson knows exactly where to look to find the source of an improved University of Louisiana running game this season.

“The offensive line has improved a lot,” said Johnson, whose 421 yards led the Ragin’ Cajuns in rushing in 2003. “There were a couple of new guys in the line last year, but they’ve had last spring and the summer to learn the offense.

“They’ve improved because of that experience.”

The Cajuns piled up 192 yards on the ground in last week’s 24-17 Sun Belt Conference victory over Middle Tennessee, improving their season average to 150 per game.

That’s a substantial jump from last season’s 116-yard norm, and the take-charge attitude the linemen took in the trenches took its toll on the Blue Raiders.

“The offensive line had an extremely good game,” said Johnson, who has 199 yards in four games for the 2-2 Cajuns.

It would have been nice if the article about the Offensive Line had mentioned even one of the names of an offensive lineman...

so kudo's to the front 5 guys..

LT 72 Brandon Cox So. 6-7 295
LG 62 Greg Hodges Jr. 6-2 290
C 69 Ronnie Harvey Sr. 6-1 285
RG 75 Justin Ernest Jr.-JC 6-4 280

Only #62 Greg Hodges is not clearly visible in this pic. Greg is in there but you can only see his helmet, he's blocking the the farthest downfield vs the MT player whose # ends in 2.

The best the about them is that they will all be back next year. Harvey is getting a year back.

GEAUX Cajuns

The best sign of an O-Line doing its job well.

MIAMI · Barring any major weather disruptions -- or 24-hour newscasts filled with terms like "cone of error" and "eye wall restructuring" -- Florida International (1-0) will play its second game of the season Saturday against Louisiana-Lafayette (2-2).

The cancellation (Jacksonville) and postponement (Western Kentucky) have coach Don Strock worried his team might come out flat and fall too far behind.

"I am [concerned with a slow start] a little bit, I'll be honest," said the third-year coach. "I have never been through anything like this, and it seems like every weekend is when the storms are coming through.

"We set another record -- we played one game in a September -- and I don't think anyone's done that before."

After having its opener against Jacksonville canceled because of Hurricane Frances, FIU went on to beat Youngstown State on the road Sept. 11.

Its home opener against Western Kentucky was postponed by Hurricane Jeanne. The game will be played Nov. 20, pushing back a matchup with Florida Atlantic to Dec. 4.

The rescheduling of games and the changing of game plans is something the team will have to overcome with little margin for error as it plays its first Division I opponent.
