I am curious, what was his question (comment) and what was the answer???

Q: There are those in town who think the Cowboys will be able to name their own score. With the way this team worked in the offseason is it unrealistic or unfair as fans to expect the UL defense to keep OSU under 40 points?

A: The recipe for beating a team like OSU is making the field as long as possible. OSU is going to make plays. The trick is not to let them make Big plays. Make their drives longer so that it increases the likelihood that you can force them to make mistakes like penalties & turnovers. I know there was more there, but it was hard to hear everything he was saying.

Incidently, this is the same recipe WKU used against Kentucky & nearly won that game.

OSU > UK

OSU > UK

And your point is?

OSU > UK

True. But, they almost won. We are talking about keeping it from being a complete blow-out.

Let's face it... the answer was "coaches speak". "Stretching the field" or "not giving up the big play" are as difficult a principle as "moving the chains" or "hanging onto the ball".

[duggie85]

And your point is?

First off, I think you made some great points in your first post.

As far as me saying OSU is greater than UK, just stating that those 2 teams are completely different animals. I took your statement to mean if WKU was able to implement their gameplan against UK, UL should be able to do the same.

IMO, WKU successfully implementing their gameplan was alot easier of a task than what the Cajuns face.

What is that based on? B/c the first time we played them 2 years ago, we BARELY won that game. Barely. And I don't think we need to acknowledge last year.

I definitely think this team will be better than last year. But just like the basketball team, it will take time.

WOW, GREAT!

We don't face them till sometime in the middle of our 11 game winning streak.

What have we done to prove we are better than them? Just because you hear a few positive reports about a new coach, it doesn't mean we're better than a team that beat the s*** out of us last year...at home...for homecoming! Until we prove otherwise, we are not better than WKU.

I got to go last night & met a crew of top notch class AAAA fans there. Jacob & Crazycajuns, I'm sorry I can't remember all your names , but you guys were a blast to hang with & obviously know your football. I got a feeling this is gonna be a good year for UL football. For the Bustle apologists who think that OSU should automatically be able to score 60+ on UL because after all they are the top ranked offense in America & this is the first year of a new coach & new system. I've got a little tidbit of news for you. These guys didn't do all that running, weight work, & offseason conditioning to roll over & let OSU run up 70 on them.

This is the difference between a winner who isn't going to be looking for excuses & someone who is willing to accept less than the best he & his team can accomplish. While I don't think UL has the playmakers to beat a school like OSU yet, I do absolutely expect them to climb onto OSU's back & bite, kick, scrape, & claw, especially on defense, to make this game a bloody ugly mess. I think in the end OSU's talent & depth help them right their ship, but I will be very disappointed if OSU makes it to 40. My final...... OSU 36 - UL 16.


For any LSU fans lurking, man what was JJ thinking? I had these guys picked to be in the NC game. The reason....... Jordan Jefferson. A shout out to those who are delusional enough to think your OC, best playmaker, starting QB, & one of your starting OL can get whacked & some of them within a week of the first game, & it won't even affect you? I love LSU, but I'm a realist. Oregon will sell out to stop LSU's ground attack. They will then send enough pressure to force Jarret Lee into the pocket & make throws outside the numbers & down field. CAN HE DO IT? I still think this guy has to prove he is a division 1 QB. Saturday night we'll find out.
My Final........ Oregon 31 - LSU 20

I have never been so ready for the preseason to be over. I can't believe the NFL scheduled teams that play each other during the regular season to play during the preseason. In years past, I can remember watching the Saints show absolutely nothing during the preseason, & be told they were keeping it vanilla, only to find out three weeks into the real deal that there was no other flavor in the freezer. I have never seen a coaching staff work so hard to hide anything as this staff did this year. I think the Saints are going to pull the whole can of whip@$$ out on the Packers this Thursday night.
My Final........ Saints 45 - Green Bay 23

I am considering going to the next coaches show that will be at walkons. I do like to listen to the show. Can you hear J and coach from inside of walkons?
