The Cajuns featured the nation’s 11th ranked rushing attack last year, led by junior tailback Tyrell Fenroy. The 2007 season will feature a new offensive scheme, with junior Michael Desormeaux at the quarterback position. Look for the Cajun offense to be much more balanced between the running and passing game.

I tink dat the BR location of Mandina's is closed like dat.
There's been hand-wringing among the Gamecock faithful over the last two weeks, concerns that Saturday's absences from the squad will adversely affect South Carolina's football team.
Starting safety Emanuel Cook was arrested last week on gun possession charges -which were later dropped - but a weekend appendectomy has him unavailable for Saturday's opener against UL. Three other players, including starting quarterback Blake Mitchell, were suspended by the athletic department for violations of class attendance policies.
It's Mitchell's absence that has caused the most grief in the Columbia, S.C., area. How in the world will USC replace a third-year starter and the SEC's top returning quarterback in completion percentage, a current school-record 61.2 percent?
Not to worry, Gamecock fans, lest you forget you have the HBC (head ball coach).

They might be the hardest working people in ball business.
Don't believe it? Hey, you try fitting out a 105-man team and its periphery groups with every conceivable piece of equipment necessary to play college football, including some equipment you've never heard of or never knew was important.
The world of the equipment manager is far removed from merely throwing a helmet and a set of shoulder pads around every body. Each player's equipment is molded and adjusted for his own particular needs and functions, and all precisely governed in its use by NCAA and safety regulations.
Cleaning, sanitizing and reworking all the pads for every game is routine. Game uniforms, practice uniforms, shorts for non-contact work, all have to be clean and ready.

Today is UL Wear Red Day in Acadiana, and participants are invited to find a red Ragin’ Cajuns shirt (or hat, pants, etc.) in their closet and wear it in order to celebrate the positive impact the UL has had on the development of the Acadiana area.
This second annual event is being held in conjunction with College Colors Day, a national celebration of the traditions, contributions and achievements of universities across the country. To mark the event, UL is encouraging everyone to wear red to work and school today.
Businesses are once again invited to contend for bragging rights for the most employees wearing red on Friday. The contest will again be divided into categories based on a company’s overall size. Representatives of the winning companies will be invited to a home football game for an on-field presentation proclaiming them the 2007 Wear Red Champions.
TO PARTICIPATE IN THE UL CONTEST:
Photos of participating teams will be displayed on the jumbo video screen on the scoreboard at home football games throughout the season.
To enter, submit a high-resolution, digital photograph of your entire group wearing red today, along with the total number of people in the photo and the number of employees at the business. Submissions can be sent via e-mail to WearRed@louisiana.edu
The deadline for photo entries is Sept. 7. For more information, e-mail WearRed@louisiana.edu or call 482-6397.
That is a pretty big change on our right side. Did the pace of play cause the changes?
Does anybody know which local establishments, if any, are carrying the game against South Carolina?
