UL (23) at WKU (42) final

[I_Bleed_RED]

This is pathetic. Season's over as far as I'm concerned.

Embarrassed once again.

Seriously, I'd love to hear your reasoning behind why you think our season is over.

Dude season is far from over our goals are all still in front of us

Oh...and to make matters worse, we got beat up by a team in old school unis. Those same old school unis have attracted the top SBC recruiting classes for the past two years.

Hate to laugh but +1 on that one.

HUD called out his defensive coaches in his post game interview.

What did he say?

I can't see how we can blame the refs for this loss. WKU came ready to play and we didn't. The beat us up front on both sides of the ball. We made a bunch of big plays but we could not stop them. We got no pressure on the QB, we let receivers get behind us all night.

We just plain got beat like a drum. Hats off to WKU. The wanted it and they took it.

This I agree with. However, I would like to "pose" a few questions. Were we using a defensive rotation similar to the one we've been using during our win streak or were we just playing the same guys up front all night? Were we blitzing or just laying back in two deep zone? One thing I've noticed about our guys. In a game like this, if they've got man most of the time & they know who they're assigned to cover they can play. This way, you put pressure on their QB by bringing an extra guy from different angles. Now, if UL was doing that during the game, wouldn't Jay & Steve have wanted to mention it?

If the coaching staff has a plan for the season that includes them taking a week off & choosing another time to pick our battles, then I'm all for it. But barring that as a strategy, I have to say I am somewhat disappointed in our decisions not to be more aggressive. As I have been reminded so many times while reading certain posts, we haven't achieved anything yet. If so, then what are we doing, taking out foot off the gas, when the message to the boys is keep your foot on the gas? I am simply refering to the decision to take the field goal instead of mashingthe ball down their throats in the first quarter. If you fail, then you depend on your defense for a safety or to hold them deep & you get the ball back in good shape. If our boys can't make it or hold them then we need new boys. If you don't give them the chance, then how do you ever know what they can do when the pressure's on? I don't mean to sound overly critical, but this should be a learning process for all involved.

Everyone needs to chill. You cannot win them all and some of you are acting like children. It's one loss! Let's come back next week and beat up on MTSU.

GEAUX CAJUNS!!! 6-2

Yes.. But you got to win the game that you are favored by 3.

[Bandwagon King]

I agree it is not the end of the world but I am disappointed in how poorly we played, very inconsistent. I also thought we should have kicked both on the PAT and the 4th & goal from the 17. That series was very disappointing when you have 1st & goal inside the 5 and you go backwards and come away with nothing at a point when the game was still in doubt.

Hopefully this will loss will get the team focused. I think we learn a lot about the team and the staff next week.

Damn Hammer, I read all your posts on here from last to first. I have to tell you IMO you have put everything in perfect perspective. Give this man a gold star Turbine! Hell, make it five stars.

Thats just what I was thinking in the fourth quarter. Lucey is back right on schedule. S---

Does anyone know what time our boys are expected to arrive back at the airport? Does what time does the Airport Bar close?
