Every football team is filled with special situations, and UL's football team did its best to go through most of them Saturday. In what has become an annual session just before the start of game week, Cajun coach Rickey Bustle showed his team 72 scripted scenarios for the morning workout, and went over procedures for each. "There's so many situations, you're never going to get to all of them," Bustle said, "but we started some of these yesterday and the day before so the guys could get a look. We had some snafus, but we took them through a lot." The Cajuns, who open their 2007 season next Saturday at South Carolina, went through a full game-day experience during the morning session including pre-game warmup procedures that begin precisely 55 minutes before kickoff.

A long time before he was playing football, Brad Bustle was hanging around football coaches. He was born in 1987, not long after his father went to Virginia Tech as quarterbacks coach. By the time dad became the Hokies' offensive coordinator and Tech made the first of what is now 13 straight bowl Six years later, the Hokies played for a national championship, and Brad was at the Louisiana Superdome taking it all in. When his family took another trip to South Louisiana in 2002, this time when father Rickey became head coach at UL, he had a whole new set of coaches to evaluate and emulate. Is there any wonder that his future plans, after he finishes his playing career under his father, are to enter the coaching ranks? "I've always thought of myself doing that," Brad said. "I've never thought about doing anything else." The rest of the story Dan McDonald dmcdonald@theadvertiser.com

Unlike its professional counterpart, college football is known for creating wildly unique offenses. The Single-wing. The Wishbone. The Run-and-Shoot. Each offensive scheme is a college creation. These days, the spread is currently in vogue, with more and more collegiate offenses going to some variation of the no-huddle attack. Teams are incorporating more traditional attack variations into their own version of the spread, but the intent is the same - put the offense in control of how quickly the game takes place. UL has used a version of the no-huddle over the past two years, one that featured the option, and had some measure of success, including back-to-back seasons among the nation's top 15 rushing teams. "I don't know if anyone out there is trying to do what we're doing with tempo," said new offensive coordinator Blake Anderson. "What we're doing between the whistles is different."

Peace and God Bless

I do not know of any game that will be on TV this season. I guess that we will have to go to all of them in person.
