Bobcats roughed up by Ragin' Cajuns, 31-3

Texas State had to slow down Louisiana’s rushing attack.

The Bobcats did that for the most part during Saturday’s matchup in Lafayette, Louisiana. The Ragin’ Cajuns were held to 6.0 yards per carry and 296 rushing yards, both below their season averages. But in the moments the maroon and gold let up, the hosts ran away with it as they took a 31-3 victory.

Both defenses came out strong to begin the game. Both offenses combined to gain 136 total yards. Louisiana only averaged 5.7 yards per carry on seven attempts. Neither team moved into scoring range during the period and went into the second quarter tied 0-0.
