Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Spring Football Practice Report No. 1
3/7/2017 10:16:00 PM | Football
LAFAYETTE – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns football team avoided inclement weather in the Lafayette area as it opened spring drills on Tuesday, working for nearly two hours in the Moncla Indoor Practice Facility.
Louisiana, which played in its fifth bowl game in six years under head coach Mark Hudspeth, worked on installation of its new offense under first-year offensive coordinator Will Hall. Looking to replace departed quarterback Anthony Jennings, returning players Jordan Davis, Dion Ray Jake Arceneaux, along with transfer Andre Nunez all took part in directing the offense.
"Sometimes your first day seems like a first day with a lot of balls on the ground and missed assignments all over the place, but today the kids came out ready to go," Hudspeth said. "You could tell that the (assistant) coaches did a great job getting them ready for install No. 1. For them to pick it (new offense) that well was impressive."
Running backs Darius Hoggins and Jordan Wright took turns in competing for the role in replacing Elijah McGuire, the school's all-time leader in all-purpose yards, with receivers Ja'Marcus Bradley, Keenan Barnes and Michael Jacquet looking to build off a successful 2016 campaign.
Louisiana will return to action on Thursday when it works out at 3:50 p.m. The Ragin' Cajuns will hold their annual Red-White Spring Game on April 8 and will open the 2017 season on Sept. 2 against Southeastern Louisiana.
