What the Louisiana coach about Missouri football said before the game 3
Louisiana coach Michael Desormeaux, sees the road trip of his team to face Missouri football as an exam, a test of the temper of his own team.
“We will discover exactly where we are this week,” Deoreaux told reporters in Lafayette on Monday. “In defense, we have been really physical. We have stopped the race. We have done those things. We will discover this week if we really are that type of team or not.”
No. 25/RV Missouri will receive Louisiana this week for a noon on Saturday in Columbia, with the beginning he went up three hours to avoid extreme heat predicted in Columbia. The confrontation has been exhausted, by Athletics of Mizzou.
MU (2-0) is directed to the game in the back of a victory in the border war over Kansas.
Louisiana (1-1) fell before Rice in a house at home in week 1 and lost the Marshal of the starting field Walker Howard for injuries for the season. The Ragin ‘Cajuns beat the state of McNese last Saturday.
Before the game during its previous availability in Lafayette, this is what Deoreaux said about Mizzou.
In Mizzou’s offensive through two games
When asked what Mizzou’s offensive is good, Deoreaux made a potentially pleasant and succinct potential list.
“It’s all at this time,” said UL coach.
Missouri currently occupies the number 5 in the FBS for the total offensive with 577.5 yards per game.
Deoreaux was added: “They are huge in advance. It is a line or the sec. They resemble that. They have very good runners … You know, we are familiar with coach Drinkwitz a little for a few years, and it is a similar formula to win. They are going to run football. They are going to launch the actions and are the ones that pass it, because the steps are better, what they go to those who are going to take the field. Return that can really go.
“I mean, this is a good football team. A really good team.”
In Ahmad Hardy, Beau Pribula
Louisiana has seen Hardy before, when she ran for 176 yards and a touchdown in a game against the Cajuns Ragin ‘for ULM last season. Deoreaux has not forgotten the name.
“I mean, Ahmad Hardy is a big runner,” said the chief coach. “And it is in a very good team, and is doing a very good job.”
It was also highly complementary to the Beau Pribula field marshal, resorting to the biggest plays of Penn State Transfer against Kansas on Saturday.
“His field marshal can drive the ball through the countryside. He has made very good decisions,” said Deoreaux. “He has made some big plays. Last week in that Kansas game, it is a tight game, and every time they needed it, they came up with great plays. I think it can hurt you with your legs (and) directs the offensive really well.”
In Mizzou’s defensive appearance
Deoreaux has seen several of Mizzou coaches before at Sun Belt, not only Drinkwitz of his time as coach in the state of the Appalaches.
The defensive coordinator Corey Batoon was the defensive coordinator in southern Alabama in the first two full years of Deoreaux as a Louisian chief coach. He saw a lot of Mu defensive coach Brian Early, who produced three defensive players of the Conference in the state of Arkansas, while Deoreux was still an assistant in Lafayette.
Then, the chief coach seems to have a feeling of what is found, and does not necessarily see that the cornerstone sends bombings and pressure.
“They will get dirty and move the front a bit. There is not much. They just play ball, man,” he said. “They play very well in the ball. They know where their problems are. They run towards football. They will mix the man and the area, so you do not get a lot easy, you think you start placing it, the next thing you know that the appearance of the area becomes man and they are disputing everything.
“They will play the area, where they have eyes in the field marshal and in the field sometimes. Sometimes. You know, they do a very good job. It’s a good football. I mean, honestly. You see them play, and their good technique, good players, playing hard, running towards football. It’s a good football team.”
What are Louisiana’s objectives for Columbia’s confrontation?
There is a feeling that this confrontation is secondary for raginated Cajuns. Of course, would you like to go to Columbia and pick up a victory on the road from the first 25? Aposts.
But Sun Belt Play is two games for UL, and it seems to be where the chief coach’s main approach is. The Cajuns Ragin ‘still have questions to answer, and some of Deoreaux’s answers seemed to indicate that the non -conference will help their team solve that.
Mizzou, a favorite of four touchdown this Saturday, can be more a measurement stick. However, you don’t confuse that not doing everything possible.
“It’s a talented team and is well trained,” said Deoreaux. “I mean, you are going to play a SEC team on the road. As, it is better that you appear and you better have the best of you. And that is what we are going to do this week. We are going to prepare, we will appear on Saturday and we will give them the best of us.”
