Very proud of the way our girls are playing. I think we have a good chance of beating #16 Baylor and #13 ULL next week. Great job coach Delong.

We will definitely have a better idea at what we have afterwards.

Baylor played #3 Washington close in a loss but Southern Miss nearly beat them and UTA(gonna be another tough one here in Arlington in a couple of weeks) did beat them.......twice.  So they are definitely beatable.

ULL on the other hand is a whole different monster and playing crazy good behind Lafayette’s own right-hand fire baller Summer Elyson, who is already 7-0.  They are drilling people right now, has beaten Cal twice in two easy wins and are rolling at 11-0.  Still, the one team that has come the closest to beating them is the team Coach DeLong built last year Austin Peay, who lost to the Cajuns 2-1 in the first of their two games last week.  And Elyson did pitch that game giving up a run in the 5th on three hits.  

I guarantee you DeLong and the team sees this as a massive opportunity.  I hope they bring it.

      MGN: Post game recap

      Really they didn’t even try. The stats back this up. Our RBs had 12 carries for 53 yards. That’s a respectable 4.4 yards per carry. Not amazing but solid enough to take a little pressure off the passing game. By comparison, TxSt averaged 4.6 but they ended up with over 200 yards because they stuck with the run. The running game didn’t struggle. Morris gave up on it before it could struggle because he doesn’t value the run game. Or he was so intimidated by a SunBelt team that he panicked?

      We picked the wrong quarterback

      The problem wasn’t the QB but rather the game plan. Or more specifically the head coach. I still don’t understand why you build your game plan around a rookie walk-on qb. They barely even tried to run the ball. The stat sheet shows 25 rushing attempts but around 6-7 of those were passing plays when the qb scrambled due to the breakdown of the pass blocking or that abortion of a WR pass with Young. Our RBs had 12 carries. Twelve. Stupid.

      MGN: Post game recap

      Run game definitely struggled. Observation from a lowly fan was the center's snaps were not crisp. There was the bad snap that hit the turf that Mestemaker recovered but there were several others that weren't on target that visibly caused timing to be off. Couple that with the DL regularly being in our backfield right after the snap and it's hard to run. I may be mixing games but I think even remember a TX State player practically meeting our RB at a hand-off. Mestemaker pulled it back and got taken down by a few defenders but there was just no room to get things going on the ground.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      If we struggle to another six win season then Morris has to go. Not a “hot seat” let’s see how year four goes.

      EM is the qb whisperer

      Untjim: Texas/Oklahoma doesn't produce great linemen anymore so we can't have great defenses. Me: how does UTSA and Texas State do it? Rick: defense Untjim: he doesn't want to hear it Hear what? Y'all are simultaneously saying the state doesn't produce great linemen which is necessary for a good defense but then say other G5 teams in our same state with our same pool of players are succeeding because of defense. Again, if they can do it why can't we? What's their excuse?
