My Thoughts...
The only thing that could have made the day better was for there to be 0 rain! I had a great time with great people and even got the chance to meet a few posters from the board! Great day all the way around!
Now about the game...
When Desmo had the fumble I will be honest the first thing that came to mind was oh ____ here we go again but they did not let that play kill their confidence. After the first couple of series you could see that adjustments had been made because slowly we started running the ball down Kent State's throat. The team played good in all aspects of the game and I think that the score is a little deceiving because we dominated the game.
Tyrell Fenroy - What can you say about the guy that hasn't already been said! His explosion through the hole is incredible, before you know it he is into the second level and I like ours chances with Fenroy against a safety.
Michael Desormeaux - I think the one thing he gets criticized for is his passing ability but yesterday he displayed that he can be a passer. Did he miss a few guys or make the wrong read, yes but he was efficient and stayed away from mistakes in the passing game and thats all we need him to do.
Ladarius Green and Pierre Hill - I love these 2 freshman! They both made some good plays and seeing Green running free behind the Safeties was so great to see.
On defense I am not going to single out any players because I think the unit played well together. No one stuck out to me and made me say WOW he played great but as a whole they did a lot of good things. I have to give our DB's a lot of credit because our DL and LB's were able to flush Edelman out of the pocket a lot because of good coverage down field. Edelman ran for a bunch of yards but they contained the passing game and I'll take a QB having to run for a lot of yards because he has no where else to go any day of the week.
A few other random thoughts...
1) On the goal line can we get into a power formation more often and utilize the fact that we have a big 260lb FB and one of the best HB's in the country. (I know I am nit-picking right here butI wanted to at least give one negative though lol)
2) Great crowd considering the rain and I think it would have been much better if not.
3) Edelman for Kent State can sure run! He is just like Desmo and I applaud him because he did play very hard.
4) Glad we didn't have to try to contain Eugene Jarvis but I sure would have liked to have seen him play.
5) The entire game day experience is getting better and I think we can attribute that to Farmer.
Ok I am going prepare for a day of NFL! If the Cowboys win today it will have been a perfect football weekend...Comeaux , UL, and Dallas!
GEAUX CAJUNS!!!
