Final UL 34 - OSU 61

[CajunNation]

As for the game yesterday.....

It is what it is.

The people very upset with the game have not been paying attention. The program was on a downward trend for a couple of years, and Hudspeth has a BUILDING project, not a reloading project. If we have a similar outcome versus a similar team in 2013, then I will be discouraged.


Did anybody see the hits Gautier was taking out there? That guy is a warrior.

Was it Trae Johnson who laid that guy out on special teams?

I do believe we could have done better offensively with Masson, but I'm not the least bit upset that we started and stuck with Blaine for this game. Everything is absolutely "in check" for the rest of this season.

Masson could have easily duplicated his outing (87% of what OSU did last year) but Hud specifically said he did not want to get caught in a shoot out.

With that concept in mind, playing Blaine in the opener will definitely prepare the team for the rest of the year.

How will playing Blaine get this team ready for the rest of the year? Blaine is not a good quarterback. He is a great athlete playing quarterback, Masson gives this team the best chance to win IMO. I was a huge BG fan when he signed with us, but after 4 starts he has shown that he has problems progressing through the play and reading defenses. He also has no feel for touch passes which is a main problem with the WR drops.

We are much better off with Masson at the helm, besides next year Broadway will be starting you can count on that.

Jim Everett had that problem with the Saints years ago, strong arm, no touch up close.

A strong arm isn't what it what it's built up to be, especially if you try to use it to compensate for taking to long to make a decision.

The reason it helps the team the rest of the year is . . . IF Hud decides to go with Masson, there will be no QB controversy. IF Blaine plays he has seen the worse and will be better.

Ahh, I see what you are saying, and I would agree with that. But if we want a successful season IMO we need to go with Masson.

Yes and it was gangster!

IMO, Masson gets a little rattled after being knocked around in game situations. Blaine seemed to take the punishment just fine and doesn't let it change his outlook (body language) during the game.

Dead nuts on. Blaine has a role to play, but it is not as the starter. His "rocketball" will not get it done.

We need to let the RBs take the "punishment" and allow a QB to distribute the ball as he should. We have some fantastic playmakers in WR/TEs this year. The QB has got to be able to throw a catchable ball. Chris can do that. I'm very pleased with what we have developing in the RBs. It will become more evident when we hit the SBC play. We cannot rely on a QB that cannot throw a touch pass.
