2019 FB G7: Louisiana 37, Arkansas State 20

I believe Lewis should pull the RPO and take it around the edge 3-5 times a game. That’s it, no more than that, just enough to keep the backside of the defense honest and open up more cut back opportunities.

Can I see your credentials sir? Apparently you need coaching experience to give an opinion on a college fan board, or people go bat ____ crazy!

Awesome stat. I was totally oblivious to that momentum stat.

ps "winner" status comes at the end of the second half ... Just sayin

His play at the end of the first half has put us to the point where he hasn't had to do it in the second half.

He would have gotten that chance against App had we not allowed a 19 play eleven minute drive.

We haven't needed him to do it otherwise.

Agree with that.

[Cajunrunner]

No, he has to convince a young man to play for the Cajuns, just like any other position. It's his job and he is getting paid very well to do it. Don't make it sound like it's impossible to do at our level. Many FCS teams find QB's that can throw.

Hell. I never realized that. Thanks for the info.

Maybe send Billy an email in case he’s not aware or may have forgotten.

You know who does that? The App QB.

I'm not sure I understand your point here. Yes, he lead us to scoring drives right before the halves of both game. But we also were unable to do much offensively in the third quarters of both games afterwards. We were completely shut down against App State in the third quarter and going into the fourth quarter last night we had a total of 45 yards in the second half. And that was after adjustments made in the second quarter by the staff.

Look, I think it's hard to tell how much of the struggles at times to execute are at the QB position and how much falls on the OL, WR, RB or TE. None of us are at practice daily or sitting in the position rooms daily with the coaches. I think all you have stated is correct in that this team has confidence in him as the leader of the offense and play hard for him. We've all witnessed the improvement in his execution and decision making, regardless of those that deny it. The one concern going forward remains, can he stretch the field against better defenses enough to keep them from stacking the box? In order for UL to defeat App St., the staff will have to find a way to get it done with Levi. Grant it, this team is a lot closer to defeating them than any other team we've had since they joined the SBC.

Two reasons to be happy today, we beat Ark. State by 17 points last night and UL controls it's own destiny. Their goals are still attainable at this time.

As has been the case in many games this year, Levi finished stronger than he started. I wish he had gotten the opportunity to see what he could do in the App game with the game on the line at the end. Hopefully he will get that chance In December.

You are welcome. You write like you don't.

Just a note on sarcasm. It only works when what you are being sarcastic about (the opposite) is known and obvious otherwise you just sound like an ___. "Billy" has not started a QB that he has recruited yet. We have no idea how well he can at this point.

“ can he stretch the field against better defenses”??? It’s not his job to stretch the field, it’s the receivers job. Last night, 3rd and 7. I couldn’t see the routes run, but Levi quickly decided no one was open so he tucked it and ran. Better secondary’s might over match our receivers. So is Levi supposed to fit it in the mailbox are not take the chance.

I bet he could average 300 yards a game with 12 TDs and 12 ints if he and coach wanted him too. He’s managing the game on purpose.

He’s the best QB we’ve had since Blaine in my opinion, and not 2nd by much. He can make the 20-25 yard throw across the middle to Bam. It’s my favorite pass play. But if the D isn’t giving the middle then it’s outs and 50/50 balls. That’s obviously the game plan.
