2011 UL Spring Football

I think if our O-line can actually block a defense lineman this year or even provide a whole to run through more than twice a game, then we will have much better stats on ground. Our Oline was terrible at some points of the season, just giving up sack after sack and providing no running room. I aslo think that play that spikes had many TD's with will continue to work, especially with a 2nd back lined up behind qb, because spikes has more breakout and breakaway speed than other backs, and the defense will bite on inside back while spikes just blazes down sideline - R. Walker might be close though.

I'm not even going to talk about number 20.

That is like walking around with a banner saying "ASK ME ABOUT #20"

Thanks for observations.

Very informative.

Everyone knew that spikes had a big head coming into this school, he said he would break fenroys records while he was being recruited...we all know that isn't gonna happen now, but as long as he is productive on the field and doesn't get into trouble off the field, I dont care what he says or does.

Well Duh! on me. I spent my usual 1000 words or more almost complete page rant writing about everything from the crowd to the weather & made every effort to point out many of the positives that I saw & all anyone beaded on was the one non-comment I made about an obviously disgruntled player, who may have just been having a bad hair day for all I KNOW or may just get psyched up by attacking the coaches & then getting body slammed by a defensive player in the middle of the field immediately after the best play of the practice by another player.

Thanks Josh for bringing some sanity back to this thread.

For the record I really really liked your observations.

Kyle...you totally lost me when you said Blaine would be as good or even better than Mitchell. Although I like Blaine, he can't win the starting job...much less out-produce the best athlete ever to come thru here.

Can YOU say...it ain't gonna happen!

Hang on for a minute ....

#17 is a "good" QB but keep watching and a few warts will start to show up.....
For example: You may have missed the 4 roll outs that hit the dirt as fast balls????

He has trouble rolling to his right and making the throw....his cerebral process reading defenses secondary don't look to be as good as other QB's on the team..

# 7 is our starter, and a good one, he just didn't have a good day....

# 83 is very very very special....keep a close eye on this kid, he's the real deal everyday.... This may be one that we have trouble keeping here for four years.....

One thing for sure, our Cajuns are a much better football team than this time last year....Take that to the bank!!!!!

Does anyone know why Blaine didn't participate in the last part of the scrimmage? He had his pads off and was icing his shoulder but does anyone know the extent of the injury?

Kyle has some good observations, but you are correct in that this was just the first scrimmage. None of the QB's started out well in practice because the defense dominated early. Blaine made plays later in the second half, both were huge. Masson had a nice pass to LG in the back of the endzone for a TD in the redzone offense. From the outside, Gautier had a better scrimmage.

#83 is great, but seems folks must have missed #87 Daryl Surgents 60 yard TD catch and several other nice grabs. I thought he had the better scrimmage. Rico Joseph, James Butler, Daryl Surgent and Javon Lawson (before getting hurt) all caught the ball well.

#93 Cardian Hagans is a man and will be all conference eventually. He is flat out the best DL on the roster.

#21 Lance Kelley had a very good scrimmage and is playing OLB, not MLB. He is a natural fit there and can play there at 215lbs.

#5 Bill Bentley and #24 Lionel Stokes had great scrimmages, made big plays. #22 Melvin White also had a good scrimmage.

No RB's stood out early on, but in the second half #6 Rob Walker had some big runs, including one over 30-yards. But once again, Walker ended up on the sideline with an injured shoulder. #20 Aaron Spikes did not help himself much in the eyes of the staff by laying the ball on the ground and showing his immaturity in fighting with Bernard Smith and Lance Kelley. While he redeemed himself somewhat in the second half, he was part of two TO's (fumble and Dean int hit him in the helmet) and that didn't sit well with coach Hudspeth.

Those are just a few of my observations.

CajunT brings both to the table, (thanks) but I will take observations by numbers anytime I can get it.
