In-Game Thread: Louisiana vs. Georgia Southern

[CajunDreDog]

Did the announcer just say this game is gast's homecoming? Turrible if your homecoming is a Thursday game.

This game was originally scheduled on Sat when the schedule came out in March, and then it was moved later (April or May) for ESPNU. Guessing they already had the plans in place by that time.

[CajunDreDog]

I don't know. It's strange how Jay and Richie aren't coming around to mentioning how much the offensive play calling and players were modified tonight. They act like it's the team "playing loose". It has nothing to do with them "having fun" and "nothing to lose". It has to do with a style of football, and with the playmakers, Hud should have been using all along.

Correct. They are having fun b/c of the game that is being called by their own coaches. Can Hud and crew keep the play calling going?

[CajunDreDog]

Yes. Ragin Pagin is calling the plays tonight.

We forgot the old NES controller at home, and brought the PS4 one with all the buttons and triggers on it.

Wonder if HUD will throw the special teams coach under the bus if that costs us the game

Hud is the special teams coach.

Dion Ray can play..we have some really good young players

Huds offense only works when the QB position can/will run. Tonight proved that. Hopefully to hud as well.

Great play, then no freaking discipline!

Whatever happened to self control?

Much needed win!

Congrats

The flag was for taking his helmet off on the field of play. Sprinting 100 yards, I'll give him a slight pass, man was hunting for air.

You are correct that "Hud's limited offense" requires the QB to run well. But last night wasn't Hud's traditional preferential offense. The key to having a QB run well, or a RB run well, is to spread the defense around. The Cajuns opened up the playbook, finally, and took greater risks for greater reward. The QB/RB being able to gain yardage was a result of that. Observers are going to act like the team was inspired. I have no doubt they enjoyed actually playing to win... instead of playing to not turn over the ball. But the catalyst to last night was taking risks and putting a defense on their heels.

Jennings best game by far. Ran and threw with authority.

A multitude of things triggered that. There is only one "back against the wall" that was important yesterday. Hud's. And once Hud allowed the staff and players the latitude to go wide open, we actually saw the ability of the player's on offense. It was there for them all year long.

Lol, how many times have we both heard "act like you've been there? I've used the phrase too many times to count as a Coach.
