The O-Line is really really bad.

We cannot handle a five man front. Northwestern exposed this. SA and USM exploited this.

Scott is a better RB than Craft.

Bonnette was back but clearly not 100%. Didn’t stretch the field.

Our DBs are really good. Maybe some of the best we have had in awhile.

Our LBs not so much. I and everyone in the stands knew they were going to run Smith or the QB every down. They still managed 4-5 yards every down.

Our QB really struggles with simple throws. The first drive be over throws a man wide open. Other drives he throws at their knees. The slide on his called QB keeper was weak. He has either been over coached or he has no confidence. Maybe the over coaching has killed his confidence.

Someone else mentioned the play calling. We were snapping in a rush with 1 second on the play clock many times. People looked lost and out of place. I wanted to mention we are awful coming out of a break. Had the ball on the 20 out of the delay...3 and out. Had the ball to start the second half...3 and out. We should really stop deferring if we are going to play so poorly after a break.

Leadership is a legit concern. I am not sure of an answer. We are really young and nobody seems to want to step up. There is nobody on the sidelines going around talking to the team.

Boston deserves to start.

[qng001]

We are cursed. We need our live mascot.

[Blue Dawg]

Boston deserves to start.

That's been the case since the beginning of the season. Craft's not terrible, Scott's just better.

Skip's hardheadedness almost lost us the WKU game in particular, they couldn't stop Scott at all.

Our fan base is now officially back to our core group from 20 years ago...less those who have passed away.

The perfect storm for us is the above combined with our team dropping off at the exact time our admin had already destroyed student support.

One thing I'm certain of is that an SLC AD can't bring us out of this funk.

I agree, can we rehire Dooley? (That was a serious question)

Absolutely! Not as the head football coach, but as ATHLETICS DIRECTOR! Dooley would work circles around the guy we have now who is just going through the motions of his job.

Yeah, having him as AD would be a nice improvement.

[PawDawg]

Just responding to the comment about our junior high athletic director. We may have paid too much for the sorry people we hired, but we don’t pay enough to get good people.

Last comment...we had much more qualified and proven people who applied during the last AD hiring process, but as usual politics was the winner. Please stop making excuses for the "good ole boy" BS that goes on in our state and region, but ESPECIALLY in our corrupt UL system.

Ban "Red Out Games" and rain storm threats in Ruston!

[BhadDawg]

Screw the AD, screw the red-out games and get our mascot and white T back!

Everyone in the stadium knew EXACTLY what SOUTHERN was going to in regulation as soon as they kicked that last field goal. I will admit that until they kicked the ball I was still more than 50% convinced they may try a fake, though the scrum formation taken by their O line took my probability analysis down from the 90th percentile.

At any rate, once they made it an 8 point game it was PAINFULLY OBVIOUS to EVERYONE in the Joe what was coming next. An onside kick, a hurry up scheme to get to the end zone followed by an attempt at a two point conversion. EVERYBODY SAW THIS COMING! Yet we were totally feckless to stop it from occurring. Unfecking believable.

Special teams ... again. We either weren't well coached on what to do on a kick that bounced high, or we just didn't do it.

Plant the seed you want to grow.

Screw the AD, screw the red-out games and get our mascot and white T back!

I want to decorate this man!

[TechFanno1]

Passion and leadership. Colby had it, Sokol, Driskell, Higgins, Hunter, Trent. Those guys were leaders. Not perfect, but leaders non tr less.

sitting behind bench, I could see the passion coming from Boston Scott. Our fan base is so damn fragile. Student body continues to disappoint. Ones there, were into it, but lack attendance really showed itself Saturday.

I will give you that. Boston strikes me as a good leader.
