The Book 2008 Football

 The challenge became apparent for UL when its schedule was released back in the spring.

Coming off a 3-9 campaign, the Ragin' Cajuns would open the 2008 season with five of their first six games on the road. It was a setup that could have buried the program before getting into the heart of Sun Belt play.

It ends up UL (2-3 overall, 1-0 Sun Belt) has survived that challenge with one game left - Saturday's 6 p.m. contest at North Texas (0-5, 0-1) - in that horrid stretch.

After a 51-21 loss at Southern Miss to open the season, the Cajuns lost by a combined 11 points on the road to Illinois and Kansas State. Sandwiched between those losses was a 44-27 win over Kent State on Sept. 20 at Cajun Field in which UL set a school record with 667 yards of total offense.

hello to all my friends in the cajun nation. it's been a while since i made my presence known here, but i wanted to drop in and say congratulations! i always enjoy hearing about THE University of Louisiana playing well. I am a Fenroy fan, the kid is a great player and one I always dread having to see play against my Trojans. I'm looking forward to our game this season. Unfortunantly, I won't be able to make it because of my best friend's wedding, but i'm certain it will be close.

If you aren't busy tonight, we're playing FAU on ESPN2 at 7 p.m. central. As most of you know, those jerks beat us last season and we got screwed out of a bowl. It's time for payback. So make sure to watch if you can and pull for the Trojans! I'll keep pulling for your Cajuns, until you play us of course, and hopefully we can both make a bowl this season.


Go Troy!
Go Belt!

Ooooooh, he mentioned the New Orleans Bowl. Oooooh, shame on him.

What the heck, let's get ourselves really lathered up while the Cajuns tend to business in Denton and then we can come out in multiples of a thousand to see the Arkie State Lugaroo-rouge game. Ya' darned tootin' we will.

  While running back Tyrell Fenroy, quarterback Mike Desormeaux and wide receiver Jason Chery usually grab most of the headlines for UL, the seniors recognize the fact they're responsible for only part of their success.

"You can't deny guys like Fenroy and Chery make a lot of things happen, but the work is done up front," Desormeaux said. "You wouldn't be able to make the frequent number of big plays without a good offensive line."

So let's meet the five starters up front for the Ragin'

Cajuns - also known as the "Hogs".

  DENTON — If North Texas coach Todd Dodge has plans this week to alter the quarterback position at all, it didn’t sound like it Tuesday. If Giovanni Vizza again tries to will himself to first downs, things could change suddenly.

"I’d prefer him not take the unnecessary hits," Dodge said of Vizza, who returned two plays after a hard shot to the helmet in Saturday’s 42-10 loss to Florida International. "He came back because he could answer the questions I asked him."

Vizza’s six interceptions this season have come in the last two games. Dodge said Tuesday those six picks resulted from not only poor throws or reads, but bad luck, such as a fallen receiver, or good defensive plays Vizza couldn’t control.
