Holy War Tonight!

As Big Dave would say, tonight is the “Holy War”. STM at Teurlings

I think this will be the 1st real test for Teurlings. They had a close game against Notre Dame but I have not watched enough of Notre Dame to know how good they really are. Seems they are very up and down this year.

STM has played a very tough schedule and some close games. They are resilient and will not go away.

Also have to wonder how the new coaching staff at Teurlings will gameplan. We know over the recent years STM has totally outcoached the previous staff.

Thoughts?

It’s gunna come down to Teurlings pass defense, simple as that. Can the Rebels stop Cole Bergeron from throwing all over them with that up-tempo spread offense?

Prediction: They won’t. Give me 35-21 STM.

I agree with the assessment on the Teurling pass defense. I dont necessarily agree with the final score. I see a closer came than 35-21.

I think it will also come down to STM stopping Teurlings offense. I was not impressed with the lack of physicality of STM lines on both sides vs Carencro. Teurling has put up a lot of points but I dont think they really have been tested like they will be tested tonight.

Carencro was week 1 for STM. The game 1 jitters and hadn’t gelled yet. If Bergeron has the game he needs to have, STM will be unstoppable.

That game just still sticks out to me because I was shocked. Its not what is expected of a STM team.

I still think this will be a great game like they normally are.

Where yall drinking beer before the game?


Tailgating in enemy territory .. interesting. :slight_smile:

Cole was easily the 2nd best qb last night.

If Jorge’s boy was 3 inches taller he’d name his scholarship. I watched on yurview last night that kid is one hell of an athlete, who is a very good QB in both in the passing and running game. Congrats to the rebels on a pure dominating performance against the cougars.

2 totally difference skill sets but yes Munoz did his thing last night for Teurlings.

After STM jumped out on Teurlings early, adjustments made held Cole in check to say the least.

Cole does have a skill set that translates to the next level.

This is very true. If he has the size Cole does, he would be the top recruit in the state and would be going to a SEC program. He knows the game very well. He is the definition of a coaches son.

JMO opinion the only skill Cole has that will translate to the next level is his physical stature. Trent Dilfer used to say when talking about QBs either you are the kid that can hit the street sign with a rock or you are not. Cole is not. Very inaccurate in the passing game. Missed opened receivers all night.

Cole is huge. If Alex had the size of any of the current Cajuns QBs he could be great here. Most QBs Cole size lose some of that mobility.

He has an NFL arm. He can make every pass on the field. Like we have seen many times, he just does not have the OL support.

Teurlings LB were in the backfield all night. Outside of a few delayed runs, STM offense could not ger much of a run game going.

On the other side, Teurlings OL dominated the line of scrimmage.

Big time. After the first teurlings turnover, they got away from running the ball but once they went back to it, they pushed STM d line around the whole 2nd half

Not sure if they have any players that Des is recruiting but Teurlings o line was big and physical

It is my understanding that the Perry kid was offered to play center. He went down on Friday night with what appeared to be a knee injury. I am not sure haw bad it is. Haven’t heard an update yet.

Cole has a big arm and the frame to go with it,

He has his moments. I’m no coach but I would think that is something that can be adjusted with the right technique coaching.

Perry’s injury didn’t look good. Hope it’s not as bad as it looked. Didn’t know he was offered. He would make a great addition. I think he could compete for a job as a freshman.

Can’t help but pull for a kid like that with all they have gone through.

I’ve returned to hold my L like a man.

Well done, Rebs!!

I honestly thought it would be a closer game. Adjustments Teurlings made in game after STM jumped on them 14-3 was the difference.

They are playing some inspired football right now. I no longer have a dog in the hunt but it sure is interesting to see things play out.
