Ross turning it upfield after a catch.
Geaux Cajuns
. Scrimmage #1
Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns worked through their first scrimmage of the fall on Wednesday afternoon at Cajun Field. Head coach Rickey Bustle’s club saw 104 snaps, of which 20 were dedicated to special teams.
The outcome was pleasing to both sides, although both the offense and defense showed some inconsistencies. Mental errors, offside penalties, bad snaps, missed tackles and dropped passes littered the scrimmage nearly as frequently as good blocks, quick runs, sharp passes and hard hits.
“One of the best things that I saw today was that the players knew where to line up every play,” said Bustle. “The coaches didn’t have to do a lot of yelling to line guys up.
“Hopefully we can go back and look at the film and find something that everyone can get better at.”
Ten players participating in camp were held out of the scrimmage for precautionary reasons.
Quarterback Jerry Babb moved the first team (red) offense on the first series of the day, with the help of a long completion to Travis Smothers. Chester Johnson helped the white and red offenses pick-up first downs on the next two series.
Each of the Cajuns running backs enjoyed some success on the afternoon, making defenders miss while picking-up positive yards.

Cajuns need time No touchdowns found in first scrimmage of year
LOUISIANA La. — There was an encouraging lack of penalties in Wednesday’s first scrimmage for University of Louisiana at Cajun Field.
On the other hand, the 104-play drill was also devoid of touchdowns, so it’s probably a good thing that the opener with Northwestern State isn’t this week.
Coach Rickey Bustle and his staff wanted to get film work on as many players as possible, and that major task was accomplished.
“We were able to get a great evaluation from today,” Bustle said. “We didn’t have any turnovers, and that’s a big thing. And there were few penalties.
“You didn’t hear the (assistant) coaches yelling too much that the players were busting assignments.”
Offensive line coach Mike Gibson was pleased that quarterbacks Jerry Babb, Luke Sniewski and Michael Desormeaux walked safely back up the tunnel after the scrimmage.
“Today, the quarterbacks had time to throw,” Gibson said. “I think we were communicating well up front. The defensive line has been concentrating on getting pressure on the quarterback, so it was a good test for us.
“We also have a number of running backs with different styles, and we were able to see and react to different things there. And, we’ve yet to see Abdule Levier, because he’s had an injury.”

Thanks King, and the same to the Tigers. A friend of mine is a big LSU fan and has had season tickets since the beginning of time and has been trying for a couple of years to get us to go with him and his wife to a game. We're hoping that our schedules allow that this year. I'm definitely going to some UL games. This should be a breakout year for us!
