Hudspeth in no hurry to name a starting quarterback

[Ragin4U]

So, all the Cajuns need this season to be successful is a better offensive scheme, offensive line, consistent QB who Hud gives the reins to, wide recievers who get open, improved defensive scheme, defensive line, secondary coverage, kickers, and kick/punt coverage/return.....sounds reasonable!

But our AuSSIE punter is going to be SOLID!

I think we need to be more physically talented on both lines this year and the rest will work itself out.

---spoke to a guy that knows---Off line is young and gonna be good but how quickly will that happen---Just can't help thinking about the N'Side kid and the center that left to play at Tech---he would have started this past year and coming year !!!

I forget who said it but an old saying was you win football games in the trenches and with tackles

It all starts with recruiting. Everything else is a result of it. GEAUX CAJUNS

One important reason we didn't get this outstanding talent was poor evaluation. Late to persue means too damed bad.

But on 3rd and 4, they only gave up 5 yards. 3rd and 15 they gave up 16.

The issue last year was on both sides of the ball. Yall are exactly correct. The offense did the D no favors by going 3 and out so often. The D did the offense no favors by needing them to score in the 30s and 40s to win a game. We need to see improvement in all phases this year or it will be another ugly one.

At this level, and our numbers over the last 5 years suggest this, is that we will have to score in the 30's to win games on average. Our best defensive numbers over the last X number of years has been an OPG of 26 PPG. In the last 5 years where we've had our most consistent success, we've averaged 30+ PPG in just about every year except last year. At the G5 level, I think its safe to say that we just aren't going to recruit the high profile defensive players that will cater to a shutdown defense. Its easier to recruit offense at our level rather than defense.

----Brunson was here and left to go back to Ruston ----Dugas was Cajun T's fault (lol) from N'Side HS---He has the scoop, but 6'5" 330 and State Champ Wrestler who started for them as a true Freshman!!

I'm not too sure about that. I remember them playing tough to pitch the shutout.

Haack did great in mop up duty or spot duty when called upon. Its a different animal to have to lead a team and allow a defense a week to prepare for you.
