He is really good in the passing game and really good in the running game. Usually, you can’t find a guy who is really good in both aspects, but Green is the total package. He has both of those capabilities. You have to know where he is every snap.” – Rick Stockstill Head Coach, Middle Tennessee RankED FIRST amongst Mackey Award Semifinalists with SIX Touchdowns RankED FIRST among Mackey Award Semifinalists with 674 Receiving Yards • Ladarius Green is the most prolific pass-catching tight end in school history. With the TD catch against FIU, he moved into the Cajuns’ all-time top-five with 13 career receiving touchdowns. With the 103 yards against the Golden Panthers, Green jumped up to seventh-all time in receiving yards. • Green has already cemented himself in the Cajuns’ record book as the best tight end in school history. He ranks first in career receptions (92), career receiving yards (1,475) and touchdowns (13). • A preseason All-Sun Belt pick, Green has been runner-up for Mackey Tight End of the Week four times this season. Against Georgia he caught four passes for 87 yards and a score. The following week, he led UL with a seven-catch, 97-yard performance against Arkansas State, including one TD in a 31-24 Cajuns’ win. Against Ohio, Green went over 100 yards receiving and scored another touchdown (107 yds., 1 TD). At Florida Atlantic, he caught six passes for 111 yards and a TD. • Green has made a catch of 20 yards or longer in all but one game he has played this season. • After missing the North Texas and Oklahoma State games due to injury, Green returned and caught four passes for 96 yards at Troy. “Ladarius works hard and is a great young man. He is a very hard worker not only on the practice field, but in the classroom as well. I think he is the most versatile tight end in the country. We can play him inside in the running game or outside in the passing game.” – Rickey Bustle Head Coach, Louisiana 2010 Ragin’ Cajuns OFFENSE QUARTERBACK CHRIS MASSON n Chris Masson started 20 consecutive games prior to n Brad McGuire filled in for Masson (injury) at Ohio, missing the Ole Miss game with an injury. throwing for 384 yards on 25-of-39 passing with two TDs.

SPENCER ORTEGO Head Coach Rickey Bustle… Rickey Bustle has guided the Cajuns for eight seasons and enters his ninth year in Cajun Country in 2010. Louisiana won six games in four of the past five seasons, a stretch not equaled at UL since 1986‐89. In fact, since the 2005 season, only one other Sun Belt school can boast four bowl eligible seasons. One of Bustle’s proudest moments was seeing four‐time All‐Sun Belt selection Tyrell Fenroy become just the 7th player in NCAA history to rush for 1,000 yards in four consecutive seasons. Bustle is credited with 51 All‐Sun Belt selections in addition to the 2005 SBC Freshman of the Year (Tyrell Fenroy), 2006 SBC Preseason Offensive Player of the Year (Jerry Babb), 2008 SBC Offensive Player of the Year (Michael Desormeaux) and 2008 SBC Player of the Year (Fenroy). In addition to winning the Walter Camp Football Foundation National Offensive Player of the Week, several Ragin’ Cajuns under Bustle have been considered for many prestigious national awards, including; Doak Walker Award Watch List & Semifinalist, Lou Groza Award Watch List, Mackey Award Watch List, Outland Trophy Watch List, Rimington Trophy Watch List, Rotary Lombardi Award Watch List and William V. Campbell Trophy Candidate. Following the 2010 NFL Draft, a total of 19 Ragin’ Cajuns coached by Bustle have either been drafted or signed free agent contracts. North of the border, Bustle has seen a pair of offensive linemen selected in the CFL Draft – Jesse Newman was the third overall pick in 2008 and Nasser Jamal was the first pick of the sixth round in the 2010. In addition, 11 players have been invited to play in post‐season all‐star bowl games, with a handful of those players earning multiple invitations. Under Bustle, the Cajuns have been .500 or better at home in seven of his eight seasons. Louisiana went 4‐2 at home in 2009, which included a 17‐15 upset over Big XII‐member Kansas State. Bustle holds a 25‐24 (.510) career record at home. In addition to raised expectations, Bustle has brought professionalism and discipline to the program. From 2002‐09, the Cajuns have committed the fewest penalties in the Sun Belt Conference and UL boasts the fewest penalties per game over that span. The fans have also taken notice, as 763,975 have attended games since 2002 for an average of over 17,300 per game. UL has topped 100,000 fans in a season three times since 2004, including 111,998 last season. The Bustle‐era owns four of the 15 biggest crowds in Cajun Field history, including a school‐record 41,357 to open the 2009 campaign. UL owns has the SBC record for largest home stadium crowd (41,357), second‐largest home stadium crowd (33,828) and largest conference game attendance (29,031). The Cajuns led the SBC in attendance in 2004 and 2008. The Cajuns went 6‐5 (.546) in 2005 to mark UL’s first winning record since 1995. Along with a winning season in 2005 came a share of the Sun Belt Conference championship. After starting 1‐5 (0‐2), Louisiana roared back into the SBC race with five straight victories, including a 54‐21 win at La.‐Monroe to claim the first school title since the 1994 Big West crown. Bustle was rewarded with a two‐year contract extension following the 2005 campaign, which lengthens his contract through 2010. His contract was extended again following the 2009 season. Bustle saw his winning percentage increase each of the first four seasons since taking the job in 2002, but regressed to .500 in 2006. His 6‐6 record in 2006 was only deemed a regression because of the high standards and raised levels of expectations by the Cajuns and their fans. In fact, Bustle’s 12 wins from 2005‐06 were the most in a two‐year period since 1994‐95. Coach Bustle was victorious 23 times in his first five seasons with the Cajuns from 2002‐06, including 11 of the last 17 games. UL won only nine games in the five seasons prior to Bustle’s arrival from 1997‐ 2001. The Summerville, S.C., native, became the 24th head coach in Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns football history on December 13, 2001. For seven seasons prior to his appointment as head coach of the Cajuns, Bustle served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Va. Tech. With the Hokies, Bustle developed some of the finest quarterbacks in college football. Bustle is a 1976 graduate of Clemson, where he received a bachelor’s degree in parks and recreation administration. He was a four‐year letterwinner as a wide receiver for the Tigers QUICK NOTES ABOUT COACH BUSTLE "At the half under Coach BustleAt Home: Leading (19-3), Trailing (3-19), Tied (3-2) On Road: Leading (11-5), Trailing (4-35), Tied (0-1) " The Cajuns have won seven games when trailing at the half – 10/18/08 vs. Arkansas St. (trailed 10-7), 11/10/07 at Middle Tennessee (trailed 21-14), 11/18/06 at FIU (trailed 7-3), 10/7/06 at Houston (trailed 21-10), 10/22/05 at MT (trailed 10-7), 9/17/05 vs. Northwestern St. (trailed 21-20) and 11/2/02 vs. Idaho (trailed 21-17).

No Interceptions Streak… Chris Masson was interception-free for 134 passing attempts from the 2nd quarter of the season opener at #23 Georgia through the 2nd quarter vs. #22 Oklahoma State…The streak spanned 17 quarters. Surgent Sets Kickoff Return Record… Darryl Surgent had eight kickoff returns for 238 yards vs. #22 Oklahoma State to set a new school mark for kick return yards, besting Reggie Dupre’s record of 217 yards vs. Tampa in 1970….Surgent had a 97-yard TD return– the second longest kickoff return in school history…He then tied the school single-game record for kickoff returns with nine at Ole Miss. Who They Hit… Here is the breakdown of active players Cajuns QB’s have hit in the end zone: Chris Masson: Ladarius Green-3 (’10), Marlin Miller-3 (’0910), Aaron Spikes-3 (’10), Javone Lawson-2 (’09-10), James Butler-1 (’10), Matt Desormeaux-1 (’09), Pierre Hill-1 (’09), Vernon Wolfe-1 (’09); Brad McGuire: Ladarius Green-4 (’08-10), Aaron Spikes-2 (’10), Pierre Hill-1 (’08); Blaine Gautier: Vernon Wolfe-2 (’09-10), Ladarius Green-2 (’10). Blocking the Opposition Since Coach Bustle’s arrival, the Cajuns have blocked 43 kicks (‘02 – 7, ‘03 – 5, ‘04 – 4, ’05 – 7, ’06 – 6, ’07 – 3, ’08 – 3, ‘09 – 6, ’10 – 2). Scoring on special team’s blocks has been special for the Cajuns, accumulating seven touchdowns, one safety and one defensive extra point. Chris Richard blocked an extra point vs. FAU that was scooped by Dwight Bentley and returned for the second defensive PAT in school history. Richie Falgout blocked a punt vs. North Texas and Andrew Joseph returned the ball 33 yards for a TD – the second longest blocked punt return in school history. In 2004, Michael Adams blocked a field goal vs. Arkansas State which was returned 80 yards for a touchdown by Terryl Fenton. It was the Cajuns’ third blocked field goal returned for a touchdown in the last two seasons. In 2003, the Cajuns returned two blocked field goals for touchdowns to set a NCAA single-season record. Pat Lamy secured a Michael Adams block in the season opener at South Carolina and raced 89 yards for the score and Antwain Spann ran for a 45-yard touchdown vs. FIU following a Derace James block. In 2002, Charles Tillman blocked a Minnesota punt out of the end zone for a safety. Tillman later stuffed two punts at Arkansas, with the latter returned 18 yards for a touchdown by Wendall Williams. 11/20/10 10/2/10 11/14/09 10/24/09 10/24/09 10/10/09 9/12/09 9/12/09 12/3/08 11/15/08 11/15/08 11/24/07 10/20/07 9/15/07 12/2/06 11/25/06 11/18/06 10/18/06 10/7/06 9/23/06 11/5/05 11/5/05 10/13/05 10/6/05 10/1/05 9/3/05 9/3/05 11/20/04 10/23/04 9/11/04 9/4/04 11/8/03 11/8/03 10/25/03 10/11/03 8/30/03 11/23/02 11/16/02 11/16/02 10/26/02 10/5/02 9/14/02 9/7/02 vs. FIU at NT at MT vs. FAU vs. FAU vs. NT vs. KSU vs. KSU vs. MT at FAU at FAU vs. ULM vs. FAU vs. McN vs. ULM vs. ASU at FIU at FAU at HOU vs. NCAT at NT at NT at ASU vs. FAU vs. UCF at UT at UT at ULM vs. ASU at LTU vs. NSU vs. FIU vs. FIU vs. IU vs. ULM at SC at ULM at ARK at ARK vs. NT at LSU at HOU vs. MIN Vernon Wolfe blocked punt Jermaine Rogers blocked extra point LaQuincy Williams blocked field goal Orkeys Auriene blocked field goal Chris Richard blocked extra point (DEF PAT) Richie Falgout blocked punt (TD) Jordan Topp blocked extra point Chris Lanaux blocked field goal Orkeys Auriene blocked punt Gerren Blount blocked extra point Nate Douglas blocked extra point Gerren Blount blocked field goal Korey Raymond blocked field goal (TD) Derrick Smith blocked punt Korey Raymond blocked extra point Korey Raymond blocked field goal Jason Chery blocked punt Korey Raymond blocked field goal Marshall Delesdernier blocked field goal Jason Chery blocked punt (TD) Tyler Norman blocked field goal Derrick Smith blocked punt Joe Bradley blocked field goal Michael Adams blocked field goal Derik Keyes blocked punt Michael Adams blocked extra point Marshall Delesdernier blocked extra point Travis Smothers blocked punt Michael Adams blocked field goal (TD) Ken Haynes blocked field goal Ken Haynes blocked field goal Michael Adams blocked field goal Derace James blocked field goal (TD) Ken Haynes blocked extra point David Prater blocked punt Michael Adams blocked field goal (TD) Charley Smith blocked extra point Charles Tillman blocked punt (TD) Charles Tillman blocked punt Charles Tillman blocked extra point Derace James blocked field goal Charley Smith blocked extra point Charles Tillman blocked punt (SAFETY) The Cajuns’ Longest Drives of the 2010 Season Date/Opp. 10-2/NT 10-30/Ohio 11-13/FAU 11-13/FAU 10-2/NT 10-2/NT 10-8/OSU 9-11/ASU 9-11/ASU 10-16/Troy 11-6/Miss 10-30/Ohio 11-6/Miss 10-23/WKU 10-30/Ohio 11-20/FIU 9-25/MT 9-11/ASU 10-30/Ohio 11-13/FAU 10-16/Troy 11-20/FIU 11-20/FIU 10-23/WKU 11-13/FAU 9-25/MT 10-2/OSU 10-23/WKU 9-4/UGA Started at own 14 own 15 own 17 own 17 own 18 own 18 own 20 own 20 own 20 own 26 own 26 own 26 own 27 own 29 own 29 own 29 own 30 own 31 own 32 own 20 own 35 own 35 own 28 own 37 own 18 own 20 own 39 own 40 own 40 Plays 14 plays, 86 yards 8 plays, 85 yards 15 plays, 83 yards 14 plays, 83 yards 1 play, 82 yards 4 plays, 82 yards 17 plays, 80 yards 4 plays, 80 yards 4 plays, 80 yards 9 plays, 74 yards 6 plays, 74 yards 6 plays, 74 yards 7 plays, 73 yards 11 plays, 71 yards 11 plays, 71 yards 3 plays, 71 yards 10 plays, 70 yards 1 play, 69 yards 9 plays, 68 yards 5 plays, 67 yards 9 plays, 65 yards 4 plays, 65 yards 11 plays, 64 yards 3 plays, 63 yards 10 plays, 62 yards 11 plays, 61 yards 6 plays, 61 yards 10 plays, 60 yards 1 play, 60 yards Time 5:25 2:05 6:44 5:43 0:16 1:45 6:27 1:07 1:41 4:06 3:08 2:29 2:36 7:40 3:51 1:00 4:08 0:12 4:24 2:04 3:44 1:11 4:10 1:26 4:16 4:59 2:21 4:35 0:07 Result TD TD TD TD TD TD TD TD TD TD TD TD TD TD TD TD TD TD TD Fumble TD TD FG TD FG Downs TD TD TD Here’s how the Cajuns stand nationally in blocked kicks since the arrival of Coach Bustle.

UL fell in four overtimes to North Alabama, 48-42, on Oct. 11, 1997, and then in one overtime the very next game versus UL Monroe, 28-21, on Oct. 25, 1997. Playing in back-to-back overtime games was only the second occurrence in NCAA history at that time. The Cajuns are 3-3 in the extra session since losing those two overtime games, needing one OT to top Wofford, 37-34, on Nov. 20, 1999. The following season, Louisiana played its first road overtime game, falling in double OT at Middle Tennessee, 41-38. Rickey Bustle’s squad avenged that road overtime loss in Murfreesboro in 2000 with a heart-stopping 57-51 4OT win at MT on Nov. 15, 2003. Bustle won again in overtime, this time at Cajun Field on Oct. 29, 2005, topping Troy 31-28 in single OT. Bustle’s first OT loss came on Oct. 20, 2007, falling to Florida Atlantic in the first OT, 39-32. He lost his next OT game, 20-17 at FIU on Oct. 31, 2009.

Twenty-eight (28) Cajuns have appeared on an NFL roster since 2002, including 19 who have played for Coach Bustle. Former Cajuns have seven different Super Bowl rings. Ike Taylor, who started at cornerback for the Steelers in Super Bowl XL and XLIII, as well as Brandon Stokley, are the two Cajuns that each boast a pair of Super Bowl rings.

A 24-point second quarter by the Bulldogs put them comfortably ahead at halftime. UGA capitalized on an interception by Chris Masson. Aaron Murray connected with Kris Durham on a three-yard touchdown to give the hosts a 14-0 lead just five seconds into the second quarter. A 52-yard field goal by Blair Walsh upped UGA’s edge to 17-0 at the 11:21 mark and an 11-yard touchdown pass by Murray to fullback Shaun Chapas made it 24-0 with 3:31 left in the opening half. The Cajuns got on the board late in the second quarter. Durham bobbled a catch and Lance Kelley simply took the ball out of his hands. The next play saw Green break loose down the right side for a 60-yard touchdown pass from Masson with 1:13 remaining before halftime. Kelley dropped an easy interception on the following series and UGA made the Cajuns pay. Murray scampered into the end zone from 16 yards as time expired to push the Bulldogs lead to 31-7 at the half. The Bulldogs added 17 points in the third quarter to finish off the game. Kevis Streeter took the game’s opening kickoff 46 yards to set up the Cajuns with great field position, but they were unable to generate any offense. UGA found their offensive rhythm late in the first quarter. An 11-play, 76-yard drive was capped by a 20-yard touchdown run by Caleb King. Masson finished 5-of-15 passing for 77 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Ladarius Green led the offense with four catches for 87 yards. LAFAYETTE-A balanced offensive attack and a stout defense helped Louisiana build a comfortable lead by halftime and the squad withstood a late rally by Arkansas State to claim the 2010 Sun Belt Conference opener. The Cajuns offense collected 224 yards rushing and 214 yards passing, for a 438 yard output. The Cajuns defense was dominant stopping the run, allowing just 19 yards on 18 carries. ASU didn’t take an offensive snap on the Cajuns side of the field until midway through the second quarter. UL capitalized early. On their first offensive play, Kevis Streeter busted up the middle for a 69 yard touchdown. A Tyler Albrecht field goal from 27 yards out at the 3:09 mark of the first quarter increased the lead to 10-0. ASU cut into the lead on a 65-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Aplin to Taylor Stockemer 18 seconds later. The Cajuns created distance from the Red Wolves midway through the second quarter. Chris Masson found Ladarius Green in the endzone on a six yard pass at the 7:11 mark. On the next offensive possession, Javone Lawson found Andrew Joseph on a 47-yard option pass at 4:03. The teams would trade possessions back-and-forth for most of the third quarter until Masson broke free on a 60yard run with 37 seconds remaining. The career-long run upped the lead to 31-7. Arkansas State scored 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter capped off by an 11-yard touchdown strike from Aplin to Anthony Robinson with 3:27 remaining. The Cajuns were forced to give the ball back to ASU with 2:22 remaining. With the Red Wolves driving for the tying score, Maurice Rolle, Jr., intercepted an Aplin pass at the ASU 40-yard line with 1:59 on the clock to secure victory. LAFAYETTE-Big plays and a steady running game by Middle Tennessee proved to be the difference as the Blue Raiders defeated Louisiana 34-14. MT used two long-scoring plays – a 62 yard touchdown pass and 74 yard rushing touchdown – in the third quarter to open a 20-point edge by quarters end. The defense held the Ragin’ Cajuns to 140 yards on 39 plays in the second half. The Blue Raiders jumped ahead in the first quarter on a 40-yard field goal. Going for the equalizer, the Cajuns had a field goal attempt blocked at 3:41. After the block, Middle Tennessee drove 76 yards in 14 plays to increase its lead. Chris Masson found Ladarius Green in the back of the end zone at 9:14 of the second quarter to cut the deficit to 10-7. It only took 47 seconds for MT to cover 60 yards in four plays, capped off by a Phillip Tanner 26-yard TD run, to grab a 17-7 lead. After stalling on the ensuing possession, a Dwight Bentley interception gave UL possession again. Five plays later, Blaine Gautier rushed around the right end for a two-yard touchdown with 3:04 remaining in the first half. The Blue Raiders were able to tack on another three points before the half with 55-yard field goal by Alan Grendreau. The momentum continued to swing in MT’s favor early in the third quarter. To start the second half, UL would be forced to punt on its first two possessions.

Masson threw for a career-high 310 yards and tied his career mark with two touchdown passes. A pair of 20-plus yard catches by Richie Falgout on the Cajuns opening possession set up first-and-goal. Three plays later, Blaine Gautier capped the drive with a one-yard touchdown run at 6:23 of the first quarter. UL built a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter following a 40-yard fumble return for a touchdown by Lance Kelley. NT responded with an eight-play, 47-yard scoring drive. Riley Dodge capped the drive with a six-yard TD run at 6:02. On the game’s next play, Masson found Aaron Spikes wide open down the right side for an 82-yard scoring strike that returned the advantage to 14 points. The Mean Green rallied before the end of the first half. Dodge tossed a 37-yard touchdown to Alex Lott with 1:42 on the clock, slicing the Cajuns lead to 21-14 at the break. The Cajuns struck quickly to begin the second half. Masson hit Javone Lawson with a 60-yard touchdown pass. UL led 28-14 with 13:15 to play in the third quarter. NT cut the deficit to seven points thanks to a four-yard touchdown run by Lance Dunbar with 8:53 left in the game. The Cajuns were able run four minutes off the clock, but eventually punted back to the Mean Green. The hosts drove 91 yards ending in a four-yard pass from Dodge to Darius Carey with 31 seconds remaining to cut UL’s lead to 28-27. Rogers dashed NT’s hopes of forcing overtime when he deflected the ball on Trent Deans’ PAT. LAFAYETTE-Oklahoma State scored touchdowns on its first three possessions of the second half, erasing a halftime deficit, and rode the momentum swing to a 54-28 victory over Louisiana in an ESPN2 telecast. The scoring spree built a 38-21 with only 8:56 rolled off the clock in the third quarter. Daryl Surgent returned a kickoff 97 yards for UL dropping the deficit to 10 points with 5:49 left in the third quarter. The Cajuns offense, though, was shutout for the remainder of the second half and the Cowboys scored the game’s final 16 points. Chris Masson completed 33-of-55 passes for 308 yards and two scores. Javone Lawson, Andrew Joseph, Marlin Miller and Richie Falgout each had five receptions. OSU was led by Justin Blackmon’s 190 yards receiving on a game-high 13 catches. Quarterback Brandon Weeden completed 29-of-47 passes for 351 yards and five scores. A Dan Bailey career-long, 52-yard field goal and Weeden 11-yard TD pass to Blackmon opened a 10-0 lead for the Cowboys in the first quarter. A roughing the kicker penalty on a Spencer Ortego punt kept the ensuing possession alive for the Cajuns. Blaine Gautier eventually found paydirt on a one-yard run in the opening minutes of the second quarter. OSU was able to stretch the lead to 17-7 at 11:07 after Weeden hooked up with Blackmon for the second time. The Cajuns answered as James Butler caught three passes on the six-play drive, the final one a 35-yard TD catch at 4:35. On the next drive, Lionel Stokes picked off Weeden at the UL 39-yard line after a deflection. With 21 seconds remaining in the half and facing a third-and-goal, Masson found Aaron Spikes open on an underneath route for a 21-17 lead. TROY, Ala.-Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns racked up a season-best five turnovers on defense, but surrendered four of their own in a 31-24 defeat on the road at Troy. A costly fourth quarter fumble on a first-and-goal situation proved to be the difference. Already leading 21-17, UL had the opportunity to build a two-score lead. However, the Trojans picked up a fumble at the five-yard line and returned it 62 yards. Three plays later a 34-yard touchdown pass by John Chandler returned the lead to Troy, 24-21 with 9:26 remaining. Brett Baer pulled the Cajuns even with a 42-yard field goal at the 7:11 mark. Starting at the UL 47-yard line, Troy’s Chris Anderson rolled off rushes of 28 and 11 yards to move the hosts to the Cajuns 14 yard line. UL appeared to have held Troy to a field goal, but on fourth down the Cajuns were whistled for illegal procedure. That opened the door for Corey Robinson to find Jerrel Jernigan for the game-winning tally with 4:43 remaining. Both teams put up similar numbers with UL gaining 350 yards to Troy’s 380. In his first game of the season, quarterback Brad McGuire punched into the end zone on the Cajuns’ opening possession to claim an early 7-0 lead. After Troy jumped on the board three seconds into the second quarter, McGuire’s second rushing TD of the night capped off a seven-play, 44-yard drive at the 9:12 mark and gave UL a 14-7 edge. After a Michael Taylor field goal at 4:58, Troy forced a Cajuns punt and capitalized. Jernigan made six Cajuns miss on the return and went 75 yards for the Trojans’ first lead.

The Hilltoppers built a 27-7 halftime lead, then after Brad McGuire scored on a 1-yard run on UL’s first possession of the second half, WKU scored 27 unanswered points to put the game out of reach. WKU jumped on the scoreboard first scoring on a Casey Tinius 20-yard field goal at 2:17 of the first quarter. On the ensuing possession, Chris Masson fumbled on a sack and it was scooped up by WKU’s Jamarcus Allen and returned 69 yards for a score. Three plays into the next drive, Masson found Aaron Spikes wide open down the sideline for a 52-yard touchdown that trimmed the Cajuns‘ deficit to 10-7 at 11:35 of the second quarter. WKU responded with a scoring drive that covered 8:33 to grab a 17-7 lead. The Hilltoppers were given a short field after Spencer Ortego fumbled a snap on a punt from the UL 20-yard line. Two plays later, WKU scored to take a 24-7 lead. UL drove to the WKU 37-yard line, but failed on a fourthdown conversion giving WKU the ball with 38 seconds left before halftime. The Hilltoppers added a 47-yard field goal by Tinius as time expired on the first half. UL drove 60 yards for a touchdown on a 10-play drive to start the third quarter. McGuire capped off the drive with a 1-yard TD run at 10:25 that dropped the WKU lead to 27-14. The Hilltoppers responded with a six-play, 70-yard scoring drive for the first of 27 unanswered points that opened a 5414 edge by the 9:25 mark of the fourth quarter. ATHENS,Ohio-Three scores in the final quarter helped Ohio rally and eventually escape with a 38-31 victory over Louisiana. The Cajuns led 17-16 after three quarters, but lost the lead when Boo Jackson hit Terrence McCrae with a 13-yard touchdown strike at 13:40 of the fourth quarter. The Bobcats built a 14 point lead when Jackson hit Bakari Bussey on a 24-yard touchdown strike with 9:17 remaining. UL came back with a flurry. Aaron Spikes scored on a oneyard plunge that cut the deficit to 31-24 by the 5:21 mark. Ohio answered right back going 77 yards in three plays, scoring on a 20-yard run by Ryan Boykin with 3:43 left. The Cajuns offense needed just 2:05 to score again. A three-yard touchdown pass from Brad McGuire to Ladarius Green got UL back within seven points. Orkeys Auriene snared the onside kick, then McGuire directed the team down to the Ohio 15-yard line. However, UL turned the ball over on downs with 42 seconds remaining. Ohio scored the game’s first points, following a nine-play, 69-yard drive that covered 4:28. UL’s defense collected interceptions on Ohio’s next four possessions. After the first pick, by Cooper Gerami, McGuire led the Cajuns on a nine-play, 68-yard scoring drive to tie the game at 13:52 of the second quarter. Two possessions later, following the third interception, McGuire tossed a TD pass to Spikes at 7:07 for a 14-7 lead. The fourth interception, which was Auriene’s second of the game, nearly resulted in points. On third down, a long completion, and potential touchdown, was dropped forcing the Cajuns to punt. Ohio quickly moved 39 yards in six plays, then Matt Weller kicked a 34-yard field goal to slice the UL lead to 14-10. OXFORD,Miss.-Three first half turnovers proved too much to overcome as Louisiana fell to Ole Miss, 43-21, in the first meeting between the two schools since 1987. The Rebels scored 17 points off the Cajuns’ miscues, all coming in the first quarter. UL converted twice on third down on the game’s opening possession, then hit paydirt when Brad McGuire connected with Aaron Spikes on a 27-yard touchdown pass at 12:24 of the first quarter. The Rebels countered with a six-play, 60-yard drive to tie the contest at 7-7 just two minutes later. Ole Miss’ lead grew to 24-7 after the Cajuns’ next three possessions were cut short as the result of a turnover. The Rebels intercepted two passes and recovered a fumble in UL territory to score two touchdowns and tack on a field goal. On their fifth drive, UL snapped the turnover streak and scored a touchdown to trim the Rebels’ lead. McGuire capped off the six-play, 74-yard drive with a three-yard touchdown run. Ole Miss looked to put up another touchdown near the end of the first half. But a fumble at the seven-yard line came up in UL’s favor and Melvin White returned the ball 93 yards for the score to slice the Cajuns deficit to 27-21. The Rebels would eventually add a field goal as the half expired to hold a 30-21 advantage at the break. The only points of the third quarter came when the Rebels added a 27-yard field goal at the 1:43 mark. The Cajuns defense held the Rebels to a field goal early in the fourth quarter to keep a two-possession game intact. UL would go three-and-out on the ensuing possession and an Ole Miss touchdown with less than a minute remaining sealed the Cajuns’ fate.
