Louisiana averaged 257 yds per game on the ground at 6.3 yds per carry for the year. But against Mississippi State and the two games against App State they averaged 148 yards on the ground at 4.1 yds per carry. I think we limit their offense to less than 360-375 total. We sure as hell aren’t going to be “wore down” by them.

The key will be if Johnson and Kyle are able to cover the WR's by themselves. If so, we can stack the box and hopefully contain their RB's.

Why do people say our O-line is suspect. I haven't paid attention the last few weeks to the preseason write-ups, but I'd say our line has less experience but more talent.

Any chance we come out with a 4-man front to actually fill the box more than the past couple years?

Last thing...please refer to us athletically as Louisiana or UL! Thank you!
Quick question while you're here. Did any of the other public schools in Louisiana protest to the branding change? I'd imagine Louisiana-Monroe might have been against it.

Their board seems to be a bit more reasonable than others.... they want to be optimistic and looking at ISU's history they have good reason to be .... I don't think that they will blow us out but anything from a close loss to a 50+ win wouldn't surprise me

Every year we expect the line to be better. They need to go out and prove it. Until then, there are going to be people questioning it.


It was better last year. I would probably rate the improvement from bad to average. Offensive line wore down Iowa. Expect more progress this season.

I would hope it was better last year. Plenty of experience.

I was going to watch the game but after reading this perhaps a morning counseling session followed by a long walk in the woods is the better direction.
