Was that the game that we ran counter like 16 times in a row and UF couldn't figure it out?


Jack Mashburn TYFYS. Watching him lead block for TDP that game was a thing of beauty!
They scored late and then immediately recovered an onside kick… with only 10 players on the field. They managed to score the go-ahead TD with less than 2 minutes left.

Huge credit to those players for not giving up and to STM’s coaching staff for not panicking when things weren’t going well in the first half. It may not be the most talented STM team compared to recent years, but they’re a tough team.
That last defensive play call was a thing of beauty. Baker had Clemson’s pass protection so confused that both Perkins and Weeks were essentially free rushers off the edge. Even if Klubnik had taken the play to the left side, he would’ve run straight into Weeks instead. A perfect example of Baker putting his playmakers in position to create havoc.
Official University Press Release

Dr. Joseph Savoie is stepping down as president of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette following a transformational 17-year tenure. Savoie, a two-time UL Lafayette graduate and its sixth president, has been named president emeritus by the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors. His last day as president is Thursday.

Dr. Jaimie Hebert, the University’s provost and vice president for Academic Affairs for the past seven years, will serve as interim president during the search for a permanent successor.

Significant advancements in academic excellence, campus infrastructure, research capabilities and community engagement marked Savoie’s presidency.

UL Lafayette earned the prestigious Carnegie R1 classification, placing it among the top 5% of the nation’s research institutions. It surpassed $250 million in externally funded research for the first time, launched the largest comprehensive fundraising campaign in its history, implemented a master plan for campus growth, introduced new undergraduate and graduate degree programs, and opened its Health Sciences Campus.

Savoie also oversaw major enhancements to campus, including the expansion and renovation of academic buildings, research centers, student housing, athletic facilities, and the construction of Our Lady of Lourdes Stadium and the Student Union.


As an alum of the university, I am grateful for Dr. Savoie's tenure. It's obvious he cared deeply about the university's future and had the vision to expand from a facilities, research, and enrollment standpoint.

It's also interesting that the two largest public universities in Louisiana will be searching for a new president at the same time.
