Yeah, I know, I think he basically said, "come on kid, get off the field".
It was hilarious. Nate may not have had a good career here but he will give you some great moments to remember, the GSU FG and then the bowl game Time Out gesture.
Geaux Nate, great having you here. I said in one of the earlier podcasts that we were going to need Nate at some point this year and he came up big in the bowl game when we needed him. I think that the 3 first half FG's were huge for us. If he misses them we are down 14-7 at the half, instead we were up 16-7.
Very happy for Nate.
Grade for Dez as Head Coach: Given the challenges of a short staff, missing starters, worst case A-.
Grade for Dez as OC: Considering I don't know 1/10,000 the football the offensive coaches do, it's hard but my gut says overall B, with the opening sequences being top tier. We fell into offensive doldrums for a bit, but we also had pretty poor field position for a good part of that. Clearly re-juggling the line made a big difference late in the game.
The future looks bright.
21,642 in Attendance is not all that bad considering all the excuses people had with the Covid Protocols. We had less at some of the home games this year.
Those who missed the game sure did miss a good time had by those that attended. WOW it was my first NOLA bowl and we had a ball!
The biggest issue with NOLA Bowl attendance this year was the quick turnaround from the CCG.
We’ve never dealt with this before. A lot of people spent their “bowl money” and had the “bowl experience” at the CCG.
This season, if the NOLA bowl were near New Year’s with a better opponent, we would have brought 30k, easy.
He probably was very consistent in practice, giving the coaches enough evidence to stay with him. Like everyone I’m very happy for him, and thank God he settled into a great mentality when it mattered most.
