Final: Louisiana (14) Arkansas (34)

SEC is the toughest conference. SBC is 10th of 11 conferences in strength.....I really hoped we would play well enough to at least make it a good game, but we got beat at all positions. Doesn't mean we still cannot win the SBC conference, but talk of beating SEC teams is silly at this point. Hud is doing a good job recruiting, but it will take a while to attract the best of the best out of high school. Hopefully having coach Hud, the campus and stadium upgrades, TV time, and being tops in our conference will draw those guys here. Unless there is a fluke like almost happened against the gators last year, we probably will not beat SEC teams in the next 3-5 years, but we can start competing better and better every year till that blessed day!!

I love the respect Louisiana was shown by the broadcast. They referred to us as Louisiana and had a lot of good promotional footage. As for the game, it was decided exactly how I thought it would. The result just didn't match. I knew the O and D line would be key. Our O line had Broadway in constant trouble and our D line did not help our cause. I did have hope after the first quarter but it only got worse. This game does not represent this season. For that I am glad. The Cajuns will bounce back but this was a bad start. Now they play a Kansas St. team that is none too happy about dropping a home game to a lower lvl team, regardless of how good they are. Was hoping for better. I think by seasons end I will be happy with this season though.

Yep...as did all receivers other than Jamal. Just not a good showing.

Maxwell had a good game at TE.

[Turbine]

3 plays and its a 7 point game.

Dudes... quit assessing the Cajuns and ignoring Arkansas. Arkansas has rebounded from last year. Plain and simple.

Yes they are better than last year but looking at their schedule they will have a average season....as for us....my problem with this game is not that we lost but that we did not play sound football...hope to see vast improvement next week

That's right coach. Arkansas has a very tough schedule. But, they are as good as they are... regardless of their schedule. I expect we will look better next week... and the week after that. We are as good as we are. The outcomes will be a measure of our ability and the ability of our opponent... in each and every case... as was the case today.

I surmise Arkansas to be a better team than Kentucky.. But Western looks damn good.
