I really don't disagree with anything the McNeese State writer wrong and really that Floyd isn't starting this week. I always find it interesting to see what our opponents newspapers think of us.

Gave up way too many big plays. Floyd did look like the worst D1 QB I have ever seen - but that doesn't mean it wasn't aberration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has no business being our starting QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd did look like the worst D1 QB I have ever seen - but that doesn't mean it wasn't aberration. defense looked bad but the offense gave the opponent the ball 3 times inside our 16 yard line on turnovers including 1 pick 6. plus 2 more times inside our 40 on punts. we only scored 21.

For instance, forgot about him getting sacked on a 2nd and 1 inside our 10yd line at the beginning of the 2nd quarter. Big things like two pick sixes are bad enough...but it's smaller things like that that can snowball a whole game out of control. If Floyd gets the start today, it's just bad coaching judgement.

Floyd's 2 interceptions (he almost threw another pick six earlier in the game when Dunkley turned in and Floyd hit the DB right between the numbers. Good thing he dropped it). So, Floyd's 2 INTs lead to 14 points. Shaw's fumble another 7 then Floyd being sacked then the subsequent bad punt snap. That is 23 points directly attributable to the offense. There is no excuse for it, but between the defense being gassed plus them all trying to be heros and by trying to play outside the system caused a lot of defensive breakdowns. All we need is at least competent performance from the QB and the rest is fixable. Floyd looked lost out there. I saw no swagger or confidence is his body language. One of the 4 guys has to at least be competent. If not, let Ryan Eppes go back to QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we look like a high school te again then we know, we're bad. If we see more effort and better play from the defense then there is still some hope. This is a game where we can lose but still show huge improvements as a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
