“(Giving up back-to-back touchdowns) definitely sucks.”

I have little doubt that Jeremy Pruitt is going to be chewing some serious ass this week about the mid-game defensive lapse that led to much of ULM’s yardage and its two scores on the day, but it’s heartening to hear the players’ dissatisfaction with that as well.

“It was a step toward where we want to be in the future,” outside linebacker Jordan Jenkins, who had seven tackles, including one sack and one tackle for loss, said. “We need to look at the film over the next couple of days and focus on the mental errors.”

.“We did what we needed to do,” cornerback Aaron Davis, who recorded the second interception of his career, added. “We played sound defense, we held them to low yardage and they had a lot of missed pass attempts. The glaring things for us were the two times when we gave up points.”

“We need to come out after halftime with energy and not look at the scoreboard and play like we should play,” Jordan said.

“It was disappointing, but that’s what happens when you come out flat,” outside linebacker Leonard Floyd, who along with safety Quincy Mauger led the Bulldogs with eight tackles, said. “We’re going to learn from that and make sure we come out playing better after halftime.”

Talk is cheap, I know.  But you can’t fix a problem if you don’t acknowledge it exists first.  And I’d rather hear that while there’s time to deal with it, not reflecting back on it during the next offseason.
