I'm not that worried about UL - I think they were better last year but maybe I'm just an idiot (or probably).  I think between Rutgers, UConn, and UL there are 2 wins out of the 3.  Tulane is a big game, we have to have that game is a little bit of a security blanket for the rest of conference play.

Thinking back to last year and this year and I guess HCDM's first year as well; this staff knows how to finish games.  Whether we are ahead or behind.  Regardless of b!tching about play calling, conditioning, and recruiting there is one factor that might be more important in a football game and that's the ability to close the game in all situations.  The only game I can think of off the top of my head that we botched at the end was the UConn game last year and the UL game 2 years ago.  Other then that we have closed games out when we have had to against Minny 2 years ago, WV, Rutgers, KSU, RI this year and now Toledo.  I'm pretty sure there are a couple more games I'm forgetting to.  But the point is there is nothing more comforting knowing that the coaching staff is prepared and has the players prepared to win at the end of the game.  That is great coaching.
