Texas game (Articles & Assessment)

[CAJUNJUDO]

I agree with you there Sid....

FAU and FIU did pretty well.....
I was impressed with Danny Embick (QB) 20-28, 299 yds 3 TDs (2 touchdowns were for 66yds each)

Well I would like to be real positive about this game but it was a complete beat down. I did come away impressed with our team in many areas...

Desormeaux is the real deal, he impressed me more than anyone else on the team. He is real smooth in everything he does and he was patient in the pocket. The big run he broke that was called back for holding had me more excited than I have been in a while for a UL play. I really like Babb but he will be watching his back with a talent like that behind him.

I was also very impressed with our freshmen...Smith, Cherry, and Fenroy. The future and the present looks bright for these guys.

Michael Adams was every where. He was makin tackles and everytime a tackle was being made he was somewhere in the picture and that got me excited about him. His pic was also a great play and I expect him to be the player to watch on the defense.

With the good come the bad and I was umimpressed with our o-line only because I couldn't see their full potential because of all the injuries. I will wait a few weeks before I say to much about this position.

The defense was in all the right places on almost every play but they were not wrapping up and making the play. If they wrap up and get to the ball like they did tonight I think that our defense will be very strong this year. If they don't start wrapping up though we will suffer through the same problems we did last year on defense.

Couldn't state it any better! I was impressed with our ability to be competitive in the first half...as we were clearly out manned, regarding depth, it should have been expected that UT would get the easy touch downs in the second half of the game...However...still alot to be proud of, if we play at the same level against other teams more of our equal..we should see success!

The difference between schools like LSU, Texas, and USC compared to everyone else in the country isn't as much the skill positions as it is the lines. Everyone has pretty good skill players but the thing that seperates everyone is great line play.

Hey Clutch...I have a 6',00" 280lb (shoe size 14) son in the 7th grade...Very strong as well as nimble..... Might be some help in the future! Look out for him!

I'd have to say that although I was cringing sometimes at teh score, I thought our team played well and was impressed with what I saw. Like many of y'all, I think the difference came down to size. Plain and simple, UT was bigger than we were on O-line and D-line. But like I said, I was very impressed, and I think the rest of teh sunbelt will also be impressed come conference play time. Another positive, we lost by less points than did UNT last year against UT. I was also impressed with the relatively close margins that some of our sunbelt brethren had against the big boys on Saturday.

God Bless

Agree! Despite the loses...Strong showing for the SunBelt..

I thought I was big for my age in the 7th grade when i weighed over 200 but apparently I was not much at all. lol

I thought the O-line held their own considering we had one who didn't play last year. Yes, there was pressure but only one sack and we are playing the #2 team in the country. I must say we have got to catch balls that hit our hands. Big time game with pressure on the QBs and the receivers have got to make the close ones. Also I felt our defense was out of place often.
