I agree with most of this but I think Coastal wins by 20 and App. wins by a slightly larger margin. Lastly, Louisiana will win by less than 10 points...it’s who we are in 2020. We just play to the level of our competition.

Losing 2 OL to the NFL is a huge loss, and it's showing in your offense this year.

You guys did really well today. Tell you what, take next weekend off 03-wink
We let the worst team in FBS have 442 total yards and 34 points. Scorched by a backup QB. I have no confidence we win again this year.

To be fair, that backup QB should probably be the starter.
I am sure he is making that case while showing our game film...

No doubt! It’s been the most glaring area of concern if you ask me.

While I appreciate you guys' optimism in the Cajuns, they haven't beaten a team by 20 this year. The only way that's happening vs USA is if the Cajuns team that played Iowa State shows up this Saturday. While I definitely take the Cajuns to win my prediction is by 7-10 pts.

I am ready to win a game against y'all, we don't play enough. Too many years GS is the team that gets missed from the east.

You guys had 2 special teams TD's in that game too. so a 17-14 score is probably a more appropriate gauge of just standard offense/defense in that game. That's about par for the course for us too. Uninspired.

Well, I agree and wish it weren’t so, but this will be another tight game, and the Cajuns will ‘only’ win by 7-10 points. But it does bug me when someone tries to minimizes ST scores. Last I heard those points count just as much as all the other ways a team can score. And UL has done it enough to prove it’s not just a fluke.

I dont get this line of thinking. is special teams a part of the game? does every coach say that they want to win all 3 phases of the game? if you dont count special teams, you would have to change the results of all the field goal games that have been won and lost.

Correct. We lead the conference in KO return average and are the only team to even have a KO return TD, and we have 2, both by Smith.
Garror hasn't really replicated the punt return magic of Week 1, but my understanding with Napier and punt returns has always been placing the higher priority on making the catch than worrying about the return, so that would explain why we are mostly middling in that category.

If Watson is back....

Troy wins in an upset. At home, Chip Lindsey throws the kitchen sink at Coastal.

If Free is still the QB...

We get slobber-knocked by at least 21.

I wasn't minimizing special teams, in fact I was crediting how important they are to winning games - we've had two punt returns this season and won one of our games because of it. Like ours - UL's offense / defense is built similarly. Right now you're playing good defense, but your offense leaves a little to be desired (though it's still better than ours); however, the determining factor in your win against Iowa State were those special teams TDs.

You've only had a ST's touch in 2 of your 7 games. So my point, which I think is valid, is that asking "the team that beat Iowa State" to show up is synonymous with "we have to score a special teams TD" to win by more than 7-10 points - which in my opinion is not a reliable or sustainable metric.

Well I really think you are overthinking this but I’m not going to get in a spat about it. Fact is a lot more than just the ST scores went into that W, but we all agree that we haven’t seen enuff of that repeated lately.

I just typed an abbreviation what I call y'all. South Alabama. Never ever call y'all USA. Sorry for the slight.
