Louisiana-Lafayette 59, OSM{North Texas} 30

The Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns entered Saturday's game with North Texas as the leading rushing team in the nation averaging 331 yards per game. Not a good sign for North Texas. The Mean Green did however manage to hold the leading rusher Tyrell Fenroy to only 92 yards and only one touchdown although considering that in his last three games he rushed for 192, 183, and 297 yards with 3 TDs in each game, he might have just been tired. QB Michael Desormeaux led the way on ground with 123 yards, his fourth 100-yard game on the ground this season. He had a nice day throwing the ball, too, going 14-20 for 217 yards and three TDs.

WR Jason Chery pitched in, too, with an 81-yard TD run. His 9 rushes on the season include TD runs of 47, 87, and now 81 yards. Plus, he caught three passes today--all for touchdowns (17, 49, 57 yards). Oh, and he returned a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown. Not a bad day.

I should probably say something about North Texas. Giovanni Vizza was 29-44 including 2 TDs and a season high 361 yards. Cam Montgomery's 20 carries and 116 yards were also season highs. Thanks to this offensive performance, their 29-point loss was their closest game this season. Previous losses were by 39, 30, 38, 57, and 32 points.
