Targeting was in first half, so that will not affect the App game.
Look nobody is saying we’re doing about as good as possible.
I will say this about your comments. They’re not apples to apples in that Bama/Auburn weren’t playing the same day as the Jags played, let alone the same hour.
I watched the Jags game from beginning to ending. The stadium holds 40K. It absolutely wasn’t more than a third full. Not the 40% 16K would represent.
But you’re dead on right they were playing out the season at 1/10 and we were going for a record 10th win. Somehow we’ve got to increase Cajuns fan base at all levels.
I won't say much about this topic because its been discussed ad nauseum but I will add something. As long as LSU is doing what LSU is doing, we will have a good portion of our city supporting them. We've always had attendance issues. Even when our tailgating scene was on point and packed, you'd have a ton of people in the parking lot watching LSU while we were playing.
In regards to the game, I think a lot of people were overreacting to game itself. We went from dominating teams all year to "we suck". Good lord people. Sometimes you have games like this. We were outworked on the LOS on both sides of the ball. Honestly, I thought we should have blitzed more often but that's just me. We also should have used the deep passing game a little more as well. They were obviously selling out on the run and we had some serious success hitting some bigger plays down the field. We just didn't do it as much as we could have.
I'm sure Napier would say there were things he and staff could have done better but I've seen comments like "Well, Napier just coached himself another year at UL" etc. Well, he also just won 10 games for the first time in this school's history just 2 years removed from a 5 win season.
This is a game we would have lost in the past. There is a certain mindset with this team that is special. I'm proud of these guys and what they've accomplished. Can't wait for the next two games.
A ULM fan called our attendance pathetic on Twitter. Anyone else see the irony of that statement?
