Sorry to drop in on your Cajuns vs Wolves thread, but you can count yourself lucky on only having to deal with only one P5. While Arkansas and Louisiana only have 1, states with similar populations have to deal with 2 or more. Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, etc.

Very true and unlike south Alabama, Arkansas state and Louisiana can see some light at the end of the tunnel with the recent success. A lot of instate people noticing these teams! Growth is awesome. South Alabama has a very good chance to catch up and roll with us

Do know that your teams roster does not match up with ASU's as far as talent, but no SBC teams does.

Lack of quality depth has been the downfall of many promising SBC teams the last few years, including UL last year, and will again this year.

Most of ASU's #2's could find a starting job somewhere in the SBC, and many on the 3rd team could.

They simply have more 'star' players than the other SBC team. They have backups that have started in the SEC.

UL doesn't lack depth, in fact this may be the deepest Hudspeth team yet. Your blanket statement that UL lacks depth is not based on any knowledge period. If you follow recruiting as much as you say you do, UL has finished at the TOP of the SBC in recruiting the last two years in 247's composite rankings and Scout.com.

Where Hudspeth and his staff have excelled in recruiting has been on the offensive and defensive lines. UL out manned and physically dominated ASU on the lines last season. All of your skilled athletes are just as good, WR's, RB's and TE's....Kennedy wasn't bad either. UL controlled the line of scrimmage, that was the difference in the football game. That is where the game will be won or loss again this season between the two teams. Look at UL's linemen in the 2015 class and we are having another great year.

23-7 is being out manned. He'll Memphis beat us worse than that! UL has done no better recruiting than the top 3 or 4 teams in the SBC.

Otha Peter knew we couldn't make the 3 deep (MLB,OLB,DE) at any positionLBs can play. He even tried to move to FB and failed at that..good luck with that Bust!

Another expert....How long have you been a closet Razorback fan Hmmmm?

When you live amongst them you know their team just like you could name most LSU's players. Kinda hard to avoid the bigger school I both of our states!

LMAO!! Really? You must have us confused with La Tech and ULM fans... I have NO clue who is playing for LSU, nor do I care.

HAHAHAHA!!!

I believe that of you. A lot of your other fans not so much. Hopefully both of our programs will deal successfully with that problem.

Same as anybody.

When we get an ass-beating like last year I have no problem admitting it. Because anybody that gets an ass-beating and refuses to admit it just looks like a tool.

(Besides, if you didn't think much of our defense.....you need to take it up with Texas State)

Why, because Texas State was a great last season? Maybe you didn't watch our game against them either.

Look, I have no problem in admitting when UL gets beat badly or gets their butt handed to them. In fact, I think our last loss in Jonesboro was more of a dominate performance by Astate because of the physical nature of the game. State's defense beat Gautier up and knocked him out game. They dictated the game from the first quarter and never let up. While state didn't score 51 points, the performance on the field was much more dominating.

Getting beat at home and embarrassed on national television is a butt whipping. But to say that it was a totally dominating performance when a defense yields 400 plus yards is willfully ignorant.

You may not have heard....Texas State hired our former defensive coordinator. I was just amused that you were gigging their defensive coordinators efforts.

I just think when you start trotting out yardages in a game like that....you've lost the argument. We never trailed, we had 27 straight rushing plays, at least 5 of them the same play over and over.

You are arguing that 23-7 was dominant but 50-27 was not. You only had 3 more first downs versus us than Oklahoma State. You scored only 3 pts more versus us. You also put up 376 yards versus Oklahoma State but wouldn't have much traction arguing with them that they weren't dominant.

I guess we will just have to disagree. Both games felt like dominance to me. Your mileage may differ.

I can tell you right now, without a doubt, with whats happening in Lafayette right now, very few Cajun fans give a rats ass about whats happening across the basin. Take that to the bank.

PS...Our guys are responding to two clowns in this thread that are not hardcore state fans... Y'all don't get caught up in it.. Even though you guys don't like us, we still have a healthy respect for stAte.

And yes, I did say the game in Lafayette was not total dominance because your defense gave up a ton of yards, not after the fact or on the third and fourth teams.

OMG. Nobody is trying to compare Oklahoma State with Arkansas State. The comparison is about what is perceived as dominance and what is not perceived as dominance. Sheesh.

You had 376 yards against Oklahoma State...but they smoked you...just like we did. You had less time of possession against us than you did against Oklahoma State.

You don't want to feel like it was dominance....ok man. A whole lot of your fans sure looked like they thought it was dominance. But whatever floats your boat.

I guess we will just have to disagree. Both games felt like dominance to me. Your mileage may differ.

I think you lose any argument and credibility when you even mention what happen against Oklahoma State and ASU in the same breath while trying to muddle the water of the original discussion. It a waste of time of even discuss or compare any game, with a game that an opponent scored 80 points against you. You are not that opponent, not even on your best night when your offense scored 51 points.

And yes, I did say the game in Lafayette was not total dominance because your defense gave up a ton of yards, not after the fact or on the third and fourth teams. The score was 26-14 until ASU scored again with 5:24 in the 3rd quarter. And you want to compare that you Oklahoma State? Most of the yardage against your defense was with the first team in. Again willfully ignorant!

Who gives a flip we have whooped each other in last 2 years.

Back to recruiting, talent, and this season.

A-States HC said the two newbies they slipped in the last week or so have already made the 2-deep, and looked very good in their fan appreciation scrimmage.

Only one player has been lost for season in fall camp, a backup former walk-on DB who was just awarded a scholarship.

AJ Turner, the kid that started for Arkansas, and made the freshman all-sec team is eligible.

Newbies are making it very hard for coaches to finalize a 2-deep. Several returning, starters and 'stars' are at risk of being backups.

Waiting word on whether or not another late arrival is eligible. If he is he will be a starter.

That's really nothing compared to our guys. Word is our offensive line averages 6-9, 335 lbs and run 3.8 40's. QB Ross Metheny has been replaced with Chuck Norris, and we now have a greased pig at RB. Good luck losers.

You forgot to mention that they were timed back peddling....

It was posted on AstateNation that a DE, who was formerly at Texas Tech, and was transferring to Auburn, is coming to A-State instead(I think go that right) . They think he will be eligible this year(apparently set out a year like the Turner kid). He is not the player I said they were waiting on in the previous post.

In their scrimmage they looked like they already had a number of quality players at that position but again they are young.

We need an interior DL not a DE! This defense is really deep

Never realized Mark Twain graduated from there.

At most positions on the defense you are, that's for sure.

They did not play the expected starters Saturday at those 2 inside positions , and you were missing the best freshman recruit(at least according to your coaches), but still did not look that bad inside. The expected starters Blackmon(the former LSU signee), and Rosser, who started a couple of games last year as a redshirt freshman(and who is dinged up a little and not practicing) should be more than adequate so it is just building depth.

The defense was still very good Saturday.

All the DE's looked good, but preseason all-SBC Chris Stone was simply outstanding. Your coaches said in the paper today he is has All-American potential, and he looked the part.

Did find out Saturday that Cage Sharp, who was expected to be a starting LB at UTEP last year had also transferred to ASU and is eligible. The former 3-star recruit looks very good, but your team is already loaded at that position.
