I think it was the play calling that hurt stAte's QB more than anything. They put the kid in bad situations consistently. When you put a kid in tough spots against a talented opponent bad things happen.

This was typified by the just atrocious play calling right before the half.

Strange how losers always seem to have a bad game in things they do really well. A game they do not normally have. I mean that is just strange the way that happens so often.

Let's be brutally honest here. So far the Cajun defense has handled everyone in the conference like a little brother. Yet they all say the same thing, this is a bad night, a bad game, or WHATEVER.

Whoa now.
1. Let's remember the losers the last two years in this series moan incessently about the QB having a bad game and didn't get called out for it.
2. Dare you to go through and watch the prior 5 games (sans UAPB). You got LESS pressure on Kennedy than most anyone we've played this year and he didn't miss the way he was missing last night.
3. Part of being a winner is handling yourself with class. We've complimented your team's performance and then you dog fans stating something damn obvious to anyone who has watched this team? Wow. Sore winners are despised.

Kennedy didn't face anything he had not faced before this year. He completed those passes then. He did not last night. BTW get your panties out of your crack Louisiana was definitely the better team last night. After we have kicked your rears the last three years it's about time isn't it. Since you named us losers for losing to you last night I guess that makes you losers the last three.

Come on CE - let's win with class! Kind of like what Hud told Anderson when he ran that interception back for the TD earlier this year. Act like you've been there before!

I do agree, I thought Kennedy had a bad game, and especially after he was hurt on that 4th down play, he just didn't seem comfortable. It wouldn't surprise me if he twisted something that will put him on the injury report for this upcoming week. With that said, as me and you had discussed in another thread, I think it was hard to see how well Kennedy was playing because of a combination of poor play calls and bad line play. We were able to send only 3 men and get pressure on him, which meant that he had 8 guys in coverage that he had to beat. This meant, for him to do well, he had morph into Peyton Manning and throw absolute dimes, which is to much for even the most amazing QB's at the college level.

After all of that, I would hope the Cajuns fans reel it in and let stAte fans vent. This happens with all fan bases when they lose, and no reason to be ungracious winners, especially to the school the Cajun fans have said we identify ourselves the most with.

Kennedy did have a bad game, but let's be clear that the UL defense had something to do with those results. First, he had constant pressure in his face from the Cajun's DL, which is the best in the Sun Belt. Second, UL dropped eight into coverage and took away all of his underneath reads or options. It was a great game plan from Coach Willis.

I said this earlier before the season, that is was going to be next to impossible for ASU to win this conference for a third year in a row considering the coaching changes. I don't recall such a thing ever happening for a college program to change four coaches in four years, in win two or three championships during the modern era.

The problem is that there is no way even a good DL should be able to get constant pressure on the QB with a 3 man rush.

Of course UL affected his play. Where I say he had a bad game was his accuracy. He wasn't being pressured on the interception or other throws that had open receivers. BTW I just looked at the Cajuns pick to make sure my memory was right.

It was very possible for us to win a championship this year. We have the talent to do it. We just aren't going to. A whole lot of guys with championship rings are staring at 4-8.

In some ways you sell yourselves short by saying it was fate and odds that we wouldn't be able to do it. It wasn't fate, it was your people exploiting a bunch of newfound weaknesses in our talented group. Those weaknesses are self-imposed...but your guys found them and not by accident.

All things being equal I'd agree. The thing is that the biggest gap between power conference teams and other on the field is the size and athleticism of the O and D lines. So, the team with an O or D line that is big, powerful, and mobile, will be able to get pressure.

I'm not saying the Cajuns have an SEC line but its more like them than it is to some others. Other than off-tackle the Cajuns matched up very well on the lines with Arkansas.

I think most of us would agree the lines have been the Cajuns' biggest advantage thus far.

Actually the Cajuns are 6-4 vs ASU in the last 10 meetings winning 4 of last 6. We did lose in 2011 & 2012.

My point was not that ASU didn't have the talent to win the SBC championship, but that almost everything would have to go your way to win another under those circumstances. (Four Coaches)

As for talent, I don't think ASU is as talented as UL on both lines. In fact, UL has sholved the ball down the throats of the two best defenses in the Sun Belt and ASU for a three consecutive weeks. UL has the best lines on both sides of the SBC period.

I think ASU is very talented in the skill positions, McKinnon, Joiner, Oku and Gordan. I'm not as impressed with Kennedy as others, I think he is a good QB, but its more about the system. He didn't fit the one he left at Utah State.

I like some of the younger athletes on the ASU defense, Carrethers and Lee being the best players at this time.

I'm also record for saying that ASU would miss the leadership of Ryan Aplin, it showed last night.

You right, Stone had zero to do with the sacks, blocked passes, ankle tackles. None of it had to do with TB either. Just had a bad night seeing behind his back, or some running back failing to account for a defensive end charging right in front of him... Those things usually does not happen to TB. chill dude, old sage is just dried up spices, not wisdom.


Seriously I never alibied for TB last year. You will not find it. Instead I spent a day every week for a year reviewing that damned recorded game. Burned it yesterday afternoon with a voodoo priestess down at the NOLA graveyards. She assured me all the badd doo doo would reverse to the ASU team. Now we all know that the bad play by Kennedy was not the norm. Now you and I know it was a spell.
