High expectations for the Cajuns as fall camp begins

[zephyr]

I agree with being balanced, but I will side bet you that the Cajuns do rush for more than 200 yards against UT. Will they attempt to take away the run and force LL to pass, absolutely. But I make this statement based upon 3 beliefs.
1. The OL will be improved this season. More success running and more time to throw.
2. LL will be allowed more latitude to tuck the ball and run.
3. LL will be a better passer this season, opening up the run more, as well.

I'll take that bet. I do agree that the OL will be improved this year but we averaged just over 200 yards last year with a couple of big games but we also had 4 games where we were held under 150 yards and 3 games where we were held under 4 ypc. That was with 2 all americans in the backfield. I do agree that Levi will run more this year and be effective but I'm just not sure what high level of production we will get out of that unit or at least early in the year I should say against a team that will have high level P5 talent.

We rushed for over 200 against Alabama in Napier’s first year and lost by 42...rushed for 118 against Iowa state and won by 17. We absolutely can rush for over 200 against Texas but it doesn’t really mean anything. You can run it up and down the field but if you can’t score it doesn’t matter. Yards don’t win football games.

That's not what we're saying but thanks

I'm with you Rainman! We have come a long way in a few years. We now have the size, strength, speed and depth to play with the "name" schools. The team that plays the best will win.
