I'm tired of everyone saying we have no business looking forward to Arkansas Sate, or our biggest rival is North Texas because it is the next game. I don't think anyone, players or people who spend time on here, are overlooking North Texas. I think we all see North Texas for what they are; GOD AWFUL. I think we go into Denton and handle them easily.
For the past ten years, every time the Cajuns get some kind of momentum, everyone gets nervous about looking past an opponent and we come out more afraid of losing than going out and dominating. If you look at successful teams at any level they have a certain swagger or confidence about them that is intimidating to opposing teams. Instead of being nervous about this North Texas game, why can't we just go in knowing that they can not stay on the same field as the Cajuns and dominate from opening kickoff to victory formation!
I know alot of people wil not agree with my post, but thats my piece on it!

Yeah you right. I had some expectations going into this season and here's a game where the Cajuns can vindicate me. Now, pass me some Pepto....

That's great. He deserves it. I wish that they had shown a few of his long runs from the ULM game to show his speed.

That's because almost every time we've had a chance to do something great we have fallen on our faces and disappointed. I don't expect that this weekend; but you can't fault people for feeling concerned about deja vu all over again. Time to see a big crowd for 3-3 UL versus ASU!

  UL — University of Louisiana defensive lineman Hall Davis isn’t fooled by the North Texas offense he watched on film this week.

Although the winless Mean Green offense has scored only 65 points this season — last in the Sun Belt Conference —Davis said he expects a challenge when the teams play at 6 p.m. today at Fouts Field in Denton, Texas.

“North Texas has a great passing attack. On offense they want to control the ball,” Davis said. “We could be on the field a lot, since they’ve run as many as 100 plays a game.”

  As UL's Tyrell Fenroy nears another rushing milestone, he recently made a pitch to high school running backs still undecided about their college destination.

"If you're a running back this is a great place to go," the senior said. "The running backs here get a lot of opportunities to touch the ball and get yards."

Just look at Fenroy. He's a perfect example that a running back can get his yards in a spread offense.

  Louisiana has enjoyed one advantage over the last few seasons, thanks to the rise in popularity of the spread offense in college football.

The Ragin' Cajuns are one of the few teams that still rely on a run-based attack, an approach that makes UL's offense a little like snow in Texas. Very few people see it on a regular basis, and no one seems to know how to deal with it effectively.

UNT will be the latest team to try when the Ragin' Cajuns visit Fouts Field tonight and take on a Mean Green defense that will be missing two key defensive linemen.

UL enters the weekend ranked first nationally with an average of 331.0 rushing yards a game.
