Game Thread (Louisiana vs Boise St)

[ManAboutTown]

You're starting to make me believe, MAT. I'm trying to use history as my guide... but you're starting to make me believe... we're going to crush Boise State! Geaux Cajuns!

I made a huge mistake by going. Now I have hope.. damn it.

I'm going to ride the wake of your new brainwashed mind. Boise State is going down!

I've been calling it since the spring...the gods will shine down on Cajun Field come September 3rd.

Well, I'm not sorry for picking you up and taking you to practice. But yes, I see some things that hold promise and I'm going to wait until I see the scrimmages before I get excited.

Could have won if Nixon didn't get hurt!!! (just a lil Sunday morning tease)

-lol

Lol.....with that OL last year?

[CrappDaddy]

Mostly, you're right. But unless a year removed has destroyed my memory, both offensive and defensive lines for the Cajuns look MUCH better at this point (which is early, I know). Our size and athleticism on OL especially stands out.

Again, I know it's early.. But Jennings is head and shoulders more polished than JD. Footwork, fluidity, natural with the football in his hands. I was certainly impressed.

I've been pretty optimistic about the young talent we have on the offensive line and I think this is the year that they show up and make a difference. If you are right about AJ, that is fantastic as that is the single most important position on the field and we will need solid QB play to have a good season. I think we could win the game, but it's gonna be a tough battle as they will be a talented club.

Unless we improve dramatically on defense from last year, I am afraid this game will essentially be over by halftime, regardless of who is under center.

Or if the offense can sustain a single drive to keep said defense off the field a little bit.....Defense showed their talent at times and if we can get our schemes straight, they may be shining light in this game.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Defense was every bit as inept as the offense last year. This is a new year with new assets and liabilities but we need to quit pretending it was all on the offense last year. Remember it starts with defense.

I disagree. The D was on the field 2/3 of the entire season last year.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Both ranked about the same in the SBC.

There's zero correlation in your stat. Of course if you can't stop anyone your offense will mirror your futility.

By the way? Time of possession was in offenses court 30.07 minutes a game. It seems your argument for time is even wrong.
