FB Final: Louisiana 41, Texas State 13

[SlickRick]

I agree with you that the QB position should be wide open again. I also believe there is a reason he did not play this year and that one series Saturday did not resolve it.

He was a true freshman, period.

[SlickRick]

So here is what I'm saying about Chriss. I look at how he looked against Arkansas St., which is a worse defense than Texas State and he looked like a freshman. Since Field was injured Zeon has had the opportunity to take more snaps with the first team offense. And the last two weeks with Woolridge out he has gotten more reps with the first team. Last night I saw no hesitation in his decision making. In fact, on two throws he went through his progression and hit the open receiver. Now it might be mop up duty, but his improvement was evident in comparison to the Arkansas St. game.

Now, I wasn't one of those people calling for Fields last season but if someone can't see the talent difference between Fields and Chriss, they probably don't know much about football. We signed him to play, and he will play next season. I said it wouldn't surprise me if he gets the majority of reps in the spring and he may not be the guy at that point. Come next season he will play.

This right here!

For the record, I hope Zeon goes get it in the spring and beats out the field.

I can tell you one “Fields” he probably won’t have to beat out from what I am hearing.

What?

What?

He is basically saying Fields is leaving.

Just listened to the postgame interview with CMD from Saturday. One word: gratitude. I think it was divine providence that put us at 6-6 so that we could be humbled and then be more appreciative of this team at 6-6 and scrapping for a bowl bid. I remember during the Bustle years how 6-6 was on the Christmas list but a bowl game passed us by. There were only 35 bowls back then. I will appreciate this season as much as I did the 13-1 season last year. Geaux Cajuns.

I don’t think Chriss was ready to start this year. I think the coaching staff didn’t want to show him off in limited action either. I’m sure every school has a scout/scouts watching other teams, looking for possible transfers.

[Big Poppa]

How so? One sits the bench for a team trying to get bowl eligible in the last regular season game of the season and the other sits the bench for another team that was trying to stay in playoff contention in the last regular season game of the season. One series against a very bad team who had already lost its last game of the season is too small a sample size to make such an evaluation.

One beat the other on the road with less talent around him. Every one in the stands that night could see Chriss was the best player on that Field.

Was that your stance for Ben's game when he had 12 of 13 completions and 2 touchdowns?

I’m thinking it might be quite the opposite on the talent side. For Howard’s senior year, STM probably had the least talented o line and set of skill players in 15 years. But it is normal to assume otherwise, especially when one has an agenda.
