_ I for one am excited about the Desormeaux era at UL. I think Mox has the moxy to run this team, and as we all know he even has the moxy to make big plays when not running the team. It's a win-win situation either way.

Peace and God Bless _

I hope you're right. All purpose players normally don't shine at being a Div I QB and I'll be surprised if he does either. Here's hoping........

Especially like that Vince Young guy... I don't know if anyone's heard of him. Anyway, not that great...

How about that Brian Mitchell guy?

Sarcasm aside (and it was funny!), athletic, all-purpose QB's can do extremely well at the D1 level of college ball. It's the NFL where they usally flop.

Let's look at a short list of the Athletic D1 QB's in the last .... 5 years?

• Vince Young
• Brad Smith (Mizzou)
• The Vicks ()
• Tim Teebow
• Dixon (Oregon)
• Michael Robinson (Penn State)
• Troy Smith

If there are any more names needed, we can go back 5 more years.

Point is, Desormeaux can do very well if he executes a good gameplan.

Don't forget the guy from Pat White from West Virginia

Nope. He would have never been good as a college QB. He was too short and stocky. He was a great athlete, but definitely not a QB. All-purpose athletes should stick to what they are told to do. It would have been interesting to see what he could have done as a Cajun QB. I really think he would have been fun to watch. Heck, he might have even set school records and perhaps an NCAA record. We will never know because he is just an all-purpose athlete.

Go get em MD... and do it your way.

FWIW


We should go with Desmo as long as he can run with effectiveness. Forget the passing game. We don't have a QB on the roster that can throw effectively, right now.

If and when Desmo goes down, We should play Mcguire.

We are caught in this situation because of the messed up situation with a former QB recruit who is currently the QB for the defending SLC champions.

Fire away.

what situation??????


We sit better depth wise going into to this year than we did last.

_ what situation??????

The situation where if Desmo goes down, we are in deep do-do.


Last season:

#1QB--2&1/2 years experience
#2QB--1/2 year experience

This season:

#1QB--1/2 year experiece
#2QB--1 year experience

No need to fire are away, but if you are talking about the young man that starts at McNeese St, he would have redshirted this past year behind Babb. And he would have a new quarterback coach and system to learn as well this year, so I'm not sure that what experience he would have brought to the table other then potential. Because he would not have played last year, so we can only speculate at this point.

What about Hundley? Some have said (former football palyers) that he has better touch on his passes than any other USL/UL quarterback. He was pretty impressive at the red and white game. And in the game that he played in, he didn't throw many passes, if any at all.
