The Coaching Career Of Mark Hudspeth

[Manning2Harrison]

Cajuns Scald Dawgs, 33-10

”It was a very solid game for our team on both sides of the ball,” said Louisiana-Lafayette head coach Mark Hudspeth after his Rajin’ Cajuns opened the 2014 season with a 33-10 victory over in-state rival Louisiana Tech. Terrance Broadway threw for 262 yards and Alonzo Harris rushed for 105 while the ULL defense recorded 4 sacks and 2 interceptions, both of the latter by free safety Sean Thomas.

ULL drew first blood with an opening series field goal, then opened up a 10-0 lean on Broadway’s sneak from inside the 1, set up a play earlier by Jamal Robinson’s 42 yard reception. La Tech answered with a field goal to close out the first quarter scoring. Another Broadway sneak came a play after an 19 yard run by Harris, converting Thomas’ first interception. After another Hunter Stover field goal made the score 20-3, the Bulldogs turned the ball over on downs at the ULL 45 on a 4th and 2 incomplete pass. Before deciding to go for it, Tech was sending out its punt squad when the Cajuns called a time out The time out was intended to save some time for ULL’s hurry-up ofense, but the half ended with Broadway getting sacked on three straight plays.

Each team scored a touchdown in the third quarter, La Tech first on a 3 yard run by Blake Martin, followed by Harris from 6 yards out for ULL, and a pair of Stover field goals accounted for the only scoring of the fourth.

Hotty Toddy, Cajuns Shoddy

”Sun belt’s not gonna beat SEC but once in a blue moon, but I still think we should have done better out there,” said Louisiana-Layfayette head coach Mark Hudspeth (a native Mississippian) after his Ragin’ Cajuns got run over by the Ole Miss Rebels in rainy Oxford on Saturday night. Before he left the game with a minor concussion, Ole Miss tailback Jaylen Walton racked up 161 yards on just 13 carries and could have been on his way to a 300 yard night. Walton’s absence didn’t slow down the Rebels, who got 75 more yards from I’Tavius Mathers and a pair of rushing touchdowns from quarterback Bo Wallace. For ULL, Terrance Broadway completed 24 of 33 passes for 238 yards and a pair of touchdowns, but was intercepted 3 times and sacked 6, and Alonzo Harris, who eclipsed the century mark last week, was held to 56 yards at an average of 2.9 per carry. All of that added up to a 42-24 defeat for the Cajuns, who cannot dwell on the loss as they must now prepare to travel far northwest to Boise for a game on the Smurf turf.

Ole Miss showed its disdain early, going for it on 4th and 5 from the ULL 21 instead of kicking a field goal, and the Rebels came away with nothing thanks to an end zone deflection by Corey Trim. Mississippi’s next possession ended more successfully, and with a “what did I just see?” play. On the snap after a 55 yard scamper by Walton to the Cajun 15, Wallace eluded Darius Barksdale’s attempt to stuff a read-option, rolled left after regaining his balance, then made the longest pitch ever seen to his right to Walton, who scored untouched. Wallace was credited with a touchdown pass, his only of the game. Walton later scored on a 22 yard run and the first quarter ended with ULL in a 14-0 hole. The Cajuns trimmed the deficit to 14-7 with Broadway’s first touchdown pass of the season, 9 yards to James Butler. After Walton got his bell rung, that Ole Miss series continued apace, with Mathers scoring from 10 yards out.

Hunter Stover got the first points of the second half with a 22 yard chip shot that made it 21-10, but the Rebels countered with Wallace’s 11 yard keeper. During that series Rebel tight end Nicholas Parker was lost for the season with a broken collarbone. With their next drive opening with a 36 yard Broadway run, the Cajuns were then in the end zone in less than a minute with Jamal Robinson hauling in a 29 yard rainbow from Broadway. The Rebels then turned the ball over on downs at the 1 on a brilliant goal line stand by the ULL defense, but they got the ball back at the Cajun 45 after a Louisiana three and out. On the first play after the punt, linebacker Jake Molbert dropped a pick. Thus spared, Ole Miss turned the short field into another Wallace touchdown, taking a 35-17 lead with just over 12 minutes left in the game. The following series ended with Broadway picked at the Ole Miss 5, after which the Rebels went three and out. Two plays after the punt, Broadway tried to find Harris in the flat, but Trae Elston had the play read for a 63 yard pick-six. Broadway then made it three picks in as many series with another red zone interception, this one in the end zone. Brooks Haack took over under center when the Ragin’ Cajuns got the ball back, and directed a touchdown drive that was capped by his 16 yard TD to Robinson with only 2 ticks to spare. The Cajuns recovered the onside kickoff, but the game ended with Haack getting sacked before he could launch a Hail Mary.

OH NO YOU DIDN’T! The game’s extraordinary first touchdown:
http://www.easports.com/media/play/video/184277182


Not what you want to see when one of your defenders meets up with the opposing running back.


Jaylen Walton reached a buck and a quarter on just his 7th carry.


James Butler rises into the night for a touchdown catch.


Terrance Broadway and Jamal Robinson capitalized on secondary miscues for a 29 yard TD.


One of Dominique Tovell’s two sacks nearly netted a safety.



With a last-second TD and an onside kickoff recovery, the Cajuns went down swinging.

Injury Report ROLB Chris Hill (knee) 1 week CB Cleshawn Page (forearm) Out for season Game Notes On paper, the Broncos don't look as talented as Ole Miss, but they're playing at home with a shot at breaking into the Top 25 with another W. The outcome shouldn't be as ugly as it was last week, but a win on the Smurf Turf isn't expected. ULL's ratings: 84/88/83 BSU's ratings: 86/88/87

Smurf This

Cajuns Blow Early Lead, Then Rally To Upset Boise

”...the biggest win for this program since I’ve been here” is how Louisiana-Lafayette head coach Mark Hudspeth characterized his team’s come-from-behind road victory over almost-ranked Boise St. The Ragin’ Cajuns would not have had to have come from behind had they not blown a 10-0 lead established in the early going when they showed they were not intimidated by the Smurf Turf. But BSU quarterback Grant Hedrick put a charge into the slow-starting Broncos, who scored the game’s next 24 points through late in the third quarter, making it appear that things were going to end up being uglier than they were at Ole Miss last week. The Cajuns, however, largely by the efforts of Terrance Broadway, were able to turn the momentum back their way and pull the upset that gave Hudspeth his first “signature win”.

The Cajuns drew first blood with an 18 yard first quarter touchdown pass from Broadway to James Butler, then expanded the lead to 10-zip with a 19 yard chip shot by Hunter Stover with 6:02 remaining in the half. Hedrick then directed Boise’s first scoring drive, closing it himself with a 23 yard keeper. The Broncos (failing to convert an interception) missed a chance to tie it when Dan Goodale, who had already hit the right upright on a 45 yard try, was wide right on a 53 yard attempt 1:45 before the break, but after a ULL three and out, they made it 10-10 with Goodale’s half-ending 36-yarder.

After receiving the second half kickoff, the Broncos marched to Hedrick’s 9 yard TD toss to Matt Miller, and a 1 yard plunge by Aaron Baltazar made it 24-10 at the 5:57 mark of the third quarter, but the 4th opened in a 24-24 tie after two more Broadway-to-Butler touchdowns. Hedrick and Miller connected for another score to open the final frame, and Boise held the 31-24 advantage until ULL’s Elijah McGuire scored from a yard out with 3:58 to go- after Goodale was wide left from 52 away. Hudpseth and the Cajuns were afraid that McGuire’s score had come too early, leaving the Broncos too much time with which to work, but the Louisiana defense got a stop and McGuire’s 23 yard punt return put the ball at the Boise St. 48. Keeping mostly to the ground, the Cajuns got in range for Stover to hit a 29 yard kick with only 2 ticks left on the clock, and the game ended with a squib kick.

Having gone 2-1 in non-conference play, the Cajuns are now in a very strong position to give Hudspeth his first 10-win season with another solid Sun Belt campaign. Conference play begins next week with a Cajun Field visit from newcomer New Mexico St.
