Second Half Woes

[Flcajun]

First off, good showing by the fans last night. Great effort by our team. Lastly, Ricky, game plan something out of the box for the second half man. How many times is your offense going to get shutdown before you change????? Stop beating your players head against a wall.

Nothing's gonna change. He doesn't have a clue.

Through 5 games, we've been outscored in the second half 95-21

Actually it's 105-21 in the second half.

When you open up a 6 to 10 yard cushion on very good receivers against smaller cornerbacks.....your going to get beat....a lot. When your pass is no longer working...and yet you still call the pass over and over and over again....your going to lose your job.....this year.

UL only played one good quarter I don't know why y'all are pointing to the second half

I'm not sure but I think we were winning at half. I may be wrong. But it looks to me like we may have had a lead at half time. So we had a better first half, when compared to the second half. You with me here? So this is why we are speaking in this manner. Because at the end of the first half, not the second half, we were winning the game. At the end of the second half, we were not winning the game. Did that make sense? So, we were winning, then not winning. I hope that helped you out.

For only the third time in the Rickey Bustle era, UL lost at Cajun Field after leading at halftime.

The Ragin' Cajuns led 21-17 at the half but got outscored 37-7 the rest of the way Friday night in a 54-28 loss to No. 22 Oklahoma State before 25,881 at Cajun Field.

The rest of the story

Against Troy, the coaches need to do exactly the opposite of what they have been doing at half time.

I agree, the 2nd qtr was great. Can't say too much for the 1st with too many mistakes. The 2nd half was a disaster.

I thought the Players gave a great physical effort. They were obviously playing with heart and pride. Just too many mistakes that were all costly.

I don't remember saying we were losing at halftime. We were outplayed and outscored 10-0 in the first quarter. You think that is good? I sure don't. Therefore I am saying we played one good quarter

I do realize that being up going into the second half we had the opportunity to close out the win and failed miserably so I think maybe that's what you meant. My apologies

I will take a score any way I can find it but it is troubling that (through five games) there have only been "2" second half scores by the offense. The other score special teams.

Equally troubling is how there has not been a single sustained scoring drive in the second half.

A 60 yard draw by Masson (TD) vs Arkansas State

A 60 yard Masson to Lawson (TD) vs North Texas

A 97 yard kickoff return by Daryl Surgent (TD) vs Oklahoma State
