lets see...golden opportunities, since 2005 here are the golden opportunities that we've had at home to only fall on our face.

2005 FAU, went into the game off a tough but encouraging loss to UCF the week before, and favored by 5, lose 28-10.

2006 UL comes home after beating Houston and FAU on the road to have a 4-2 record, and looking to move to 2-0 in conference against MT, favored by 3, lose 34-20 (wow does that sound familiar).

2007 Record crowd shows up for the cajuns matchup against the Mcneese State Cowboys, and after a bad call killed a potential game tying drive against Ohio, we're demoralized, but still confident going into the game against a FCS team only to fall flat on our face 38-17.

2008 Coming off the biggest crowd for a conference game in the history of the conference, and being 5-3 only needing one more win to get to bowl eligibility and only needing 2 wins to assure ourselves of a bowl game, we played a mediocre UTEP team at home, and we were favored by 10 points. Sounds like a golden opportunity to showcase what the program is about, instead we got yet another double digit loss in a big game at home losing to 24-37

2009 We actually fell on our face multiple times this season, but the worst was probably going into the FAU game after we had beat UNT and WKU in back to back weeks, and pushed our record to 4-2 overall, 2-0 in conference, and had a win against a BCS program. Facing FAU, we were a 3 point favorite going into the game at home, instead of grabbing the bull by the horns and running with it, we got skulldrug up and down the field by FAU, losing 51-29


The common theme amongst all these games is that they were all potential statement games, and in each and every case bustle has failed, failed, and failed some more. No more of this should be allowed, he is obviously in over his head and has no clue how to fix the problem. Also, in 4 of those 5 games, they potentially would have been the game that decided if we were going to a bowl game, or if we were home for the holidays, coincidentally, we've been home for the holidays for 40 years and busted hasn't helped the situation at all.

On the offensive side of the ball, the Cajuns just were not consistent in their blocking schemes up front and the lack of depth without Andre Huval, Evan Ruiz and Nasser Jamal reared it’s ugly head when starting right tackle Jonathan Decoster went down with an ankle injury.

Andre is a true freshman and Nasser has been injured since he's been here.. So with a couple injuries this is the best O-line we can have after 9 years of recruiting??

I understood that MTSU was without several o-linemen as well, how many sacks did we get? ??????????????????????????????????
