_ I don't care what yall say, but that was a horrible call to go for it on 4th and 7 with 10 min. to go. We could have pin them back in the 10. Unbelievable. I was shaking my head. Horrible call. We should have punted that ball.
This was a very hard loss for the team, hopefully we can bounce back. We had this one and we got to confident in the end. Bustle should have known better than that. _

Give Bustle another contract extension he deserves it..

Ohio was a very good...and well coached team! Disappointed about the loss, had the bobcats gasping for air...I think I even seen a couple of their players toss up the contents of their tummies. Can't explain this one...Offense looked good...DB's need to be shuffled to find some playmakers....or we will be seeing this type 3rd and long...by the grace of God...passes completed against us all season long!

This team came out flat in the 2nd half, they had no fire in them. We did not do a good job of adjusting to what Ohio was giving us. A few points here:

• The secondary has to improve. We gave up too many plays.
• Can we cover the Ohio tight ends? They were wide open.
• Speaking of tight ends, where are ours and why don't we throw to them?
• Too many false start penalties on the O-Line.
• This team came out flat in the 2nd half and was playing to maintain a lead not to add points, where was the leadership?
• Desormeaux proved he could throw, however we did miss opportunitis to throw in the flats tonight.

Didn't we pass for something like 235 yards and rush for about 250? Hell, even with the offensive mistakes...that's a hell of an offensive production against a good & well coached team!

_ Same ole Cajuns. Moral victory followed by a laid egg at home. _

I don't know about the "same ole Cajuns," this team has something...just got to get the kink's out! Don't forget...new coaching on board, followed by tweeks to the past system. If we can get our DB's in order, everything will be fine. Please don't take away from Ohio...they played a good game. It's been a while since the Cajuns have played two teams of the caliber of what we just seen back to back! It's NOT the time to jump ship.

We had over 500 yds. of offense, but we only managed 3 points in the 2nd half. We did not adjust our offensive playcalling enough in the 2nd half to put more points on the board.

I agree RC77 about the play calling. Did you notice that we didn't do to much player rotation on the defensive side of the ball? Do you think we were just flat out tired?

We didn't do much rotating at all. I know there were sme injuries in the secondary, so maybe that is it. We give teams a bit of a cushion when we play them due to what I perceive as a lack of speed in the secondary. So teams will take what we give them. What i noticed tonight was we didn't cover the tight end, and Ohio exploited that.

The defense looked tired in the 4th as they gave up five yards on on runs on 1st down and from there Ohio put themselves in favorable positions on 3rd down. I thought at that point we needed some fresh legs.

I concur...that seemed to be the general feeling of the fans who were around me in the Stadium. Well, we will see what changes Coach decides to make...Maybe it's time to play some freshmen!

I think we have to do a better job of accounting for players on the field. We need to find a tandem of players in the secondary who can make plays on a consistent basis, if that is a freshman, so be it.

UL had Ohio on the ropes and didn't know it. Ohio had star players getting an
IV during the game for the first time in their career.

I was surprised by all the yardage UL gained since the field felt like a 2 inch sponge.

I was in the back of the endzone at the end of the game and from my view UL did not fumble. He was down and being twisted around before the ball came loose. The ref and the Sunbelt cam had bad angles.

Of course that was not going to be a scoring play, so at least 2 more big plays would have been needed to to take the game into overtime.

In my opinion the O-Line false starts were the difference in the game.
