LOUISIANA La. - The Louisiana Ragin' Cajun football team was still in mistake-correction mode Tuesday, enough to concern coach Rickey Bustle.

"Our biggest worry is that we had so many execution errors against Texas," Bustle said after the Cajuns' two-hour practice Tuesday. "We've still got a lot of work to do, and we've got so many adjustments to make for Eastern Michigan."

The 0-1 Cajuns, still smarting from last weekend's 60-3 loss at Texas, head for Ypsilanti, Mich., to meet EMU's Eagles (0-1) Saturday at 5 p.m. (CDT). The Eagles feature a wide-open offense that is a 180-degree change from Texas' straight-ahead style.

"They'll spread you out," said defensive coordinator Brent Pry. "But they'll run it a lot out of the spread, kind of like Middle (Tennessee) or Monroe, and I think they're very comparable to those guys."

It's getting ready for that radically-different attack that took up most of Tuesday's drills, and Bustle was concerned about throwing that much of a different philosophy at his squad.
