_ This was my best UL football experience of my life.

The weather was perfect, the crowd was loud, the game was AWESOME!, and the outcome was in our favor!

Great Day!

Great Win!

Geaux Cajuns! _

I agree, it was easily the most enjoyable Cajun game I've ever been to (including TAMU). The perfect weather, intense play by UL, and much improved game logistics made it great. Oh yea, and the win...

_ The only thing to fear is fear itself, and maybe the Z man.

My width is only exceeded by my good looks, my man!!! It was an honor to be in the presence of greatness yesterday...even if it was only for a brief few minutes! Thanks for having me!

_ Someone mentioned Houston. I think this is much bigger. Perhaps his biggest is yet to come? _

I also have to agree. We have business to take care of with FIU first and of course FAU, BUT....

I think the Troy game could be the biggest!

[HOUCajun]

Last year we were horrible on 3rd down. That has probably been our single biggest improvement on D this year.

Hat's off to the D for holding ASU to under 29% on 3rd down conversions, and to the O for converting 53% of the time...AWESOME!

_ I'm glad we are playing FIU and not Troy after the break. Experience has taught me that schools don't do to well after an off weak but we need time to heal and gel. I like our chances against the FLA schools and then having Troy well we will see what we are made of. _

At the beginning of the season I think most of us had pencilled in FIU as a win. But they have really started to click and I'm not so sure we can put this one in the automatic win column. While I agree with the other post about disrupting the momentum I think this off week comes at a good time as far as getting players healthy.

I understand your concern but, remember, we needed the open date after Southern Miss. I think we need this one to heal. Lots of guys banged up. More time for young QBs to get more reps in case Mike can't go again this season. Tyrell must be hurting today.

_ "At that point, the Cajuns trailed, 23-14, with 7:39 left."



At 00:00 the Cajuns ahead 28-23.

Prrrrrrreeeeeettttttty amazing stuff here, boys and girls.

At 7:39 left, Brad had thrown 2 pics and served up 3 others that should have been picked. Depair for sure; and then he threw strikes to keep the winning drive alive. I love when he can throw downfield. Not too sure about the flats. Gritty runner and kept his cool. Good outing for his first start. Falgout has a pretty good record for passing. 3-3 with 3 TDs. Nice touch.
Fun game, Mr. Destin. Do you know a good heart doctor. I'm still trying to get mine started.

[Cajunsmike]

This play is gonna give me a heart attack....

I don't understand why this play was ever drawn up.

Best case senario you complete the pass and the TE gets 3 yards before running into the sideline. WooHoo

Worst case senario I've seen twice this year. Pick Six.

It's a dumb play with way more to lose than gain, and it's one of the toughest passes for a qb to throw.

If anyone can tell me 1 good reason for this play, or an example of it working to where it's worth running..... I just don't think it's worth the risk.

Dear Coach Bustle,

Please remove this play from our otherwise wonderful playbook.

P.S. I liked our speed at linebacker tonite!!!!

The TE in the flat pass gained 30 yards at UNT. I imagine ASU was prepared for it after seeing film.

Absolutely. I've noticed this trend this year as well. People kind of look at me funny when I say the D has improved tremendously this year since we've given up quite a bit of yards but this is one area that we've learned to improve on which gets our D off the field more. I'd like to know what our 3rd down D percentage is for the year.

_ The secret to no interceptions in the flats is the receiver coming back to the ball just like the defender has to do to make the int.

Coming back to the ball does two things it puts him motion to have a big turn up field and it always prevents the interception. If the defender goes for the pick an aggressive receiver might even create a pass interference call.

This idea was once conveyed to me by a receivers coach. _

As a former receiver coach for the Cajuns you are right on the money ---but as you turn in on a 3rd down you must be about 3 yards past the first down marker------Also we are setting this up for Green to turn it up and put us in the NO Bowl with his catch vs. Troy----I dream this stuff in my sleep!!!!
