Life After SLU

[ManAboutTown]

I know Tracy was out the first half. I didn't see a lot of Tanner Holmes, but didn't hear if he got dinged or not? This was also Posey's first start at Mic, so I'll expect a big step forward Saturday.

We are definitely going to have to tighten up on defense, especially on the weak side. SLU pounded the ball on that end all night. Tulsa will do the same if we don't improve on that end of the field.

As for this past Saturday, we won the game. I'm happy about that. However, it was SUPPOSED to be a win. Not to mention, giving up over 500 total yards to ANY FCS school is downright unacceptable. Period. Maybe one to two exceptions there (North Dakota State/James Madison) is ok. But this upcoming game against Tulsa will tell us all we need to know to see where we are at as a team and where we might need to be. Let's hope it's a good performance.

Well, I know for a fact we showed very little offensively and defensively against SLU in preparation for Tulsa. It was the plan all along. So there's some solace in that.

I also know for a fact that the team has marked Tulsa as a W on their goal schedule.

That was clever. We knew that we only needed to stop a 2 point conversion and we'd get a W. Very clever. We showed only what we needed to show. Our defense has all future takers believing those gaps are theirs for the taking. Only to trap them with defensive maneuvers yet unseen.

Tulsa did put a W next to the Cajuns on their locker room schedule. But it was done in erasable ink. The guy who did it told me he felt that we did not show all of our cards against SLU. I told him we took the 4 aces out of the deck this past Saturday. And that Tulsa should keep a close eye on how we shuffle this week. No matter how Tulsa cuts the deck... Hud always knows when and how to play the aces.

This could be a big week for our defense to erase the scenes I have burned into my mind from Saturday.

I don't know what to believe or take serious here.

Who were we missing on defense that may return to action this week? I'm calling that guy our hero before any of you do. Or perhaps Lucas will look over his shoulder against Tulsa... and say, "Rudy, you're up.". Who actually wants to play defense this week for the Cajuns? Who actually wants to run towards and tackle the man with the ball? Let's play those players this week.

Tracy walker didn't play bc of targeting call in bowl game(which was bs by the way), Travis Crawford didn't play bc of injury, tanner Holmes didn't play most of the game bc he got banged up, and Jarvis Jeffries got hurt on first drive and didn't play the rest of the game. All should be back and healthy for Tulsa game

That's a lot of quality missing out there.

You and I are playing with the same hand here.

Who is the JC linebacker? And did he play?

.....I was very impressed with SLU and yes the season will tell the whole story.....but huge off line(325) to our def(307) that really stayed after their blocks....great RB.....accurate QBs with wheels.....other than a couple of drops, some good receivers,,,,,,their defense and kick coverage tell the difference in the game as they were terrible!!!
