I would rather see us play teams like Kansas, South Carolina, Kansas State,or Vanderbelt type teams from BCS conferences and not top 10 quality teams because it is just like it is called a body bag game. But that isn't who we scheduled so I can live with the result of the Texas game. Last week left a really sour taste in my mouth and left me feeling worse than any loss UL has had in the last few years but I'm not going to see back and call for a coaches head when there is still 9 games left in the season.
Should we be critical of the coaches...YES but unlike some people I look at a lot of positives from these games. Last week against EMU we had more total yards and more yards per play than them and we we cut out the brain farts out the game would have been a lot better and maybe even had a different result as for as us lossing. Against Texas and EMU Derek Smith played very well and could possible be the best receiver we have on the team other than Sampy. Celeb Rubin and Fenroy both played good in the games against Texas and EMU. I look at all of this as facts that we are a better team and that if we do cut out the brain farts we will go 6-5 this season and contend for the conference title.
Once again am I happy being 0-2 at this point of the season...no but I knew before the EMU game that if we didn't play our best we would be 0-2 coming back to cajun field for the Northwestern game because of how productive the EMU offense is. I had 2 scenerio's coming into the season and in both we went 6-5. In 1 I had us 1-3 after the first 4 games of the season going into conference play and in the other I had us 2-2.
