Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns hold off Texas State 23-17 in Tuesday’s Sun Belt Clash – Sports Illustrated

Michael Desormeaux’s Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns picked up another valuable conference win this week, defeating the Texas State Bobcats 23-17 in San Marcos.

Louisiana quarterback Ben Wooldridge continued his impressive play, completing 18 of 28 passes for 252 yards and a touchdown. On the ground, Dre’Lyn Washington carried the ball ten times for 94 yards, including a 64-yard touchdown. The Cajuns offense totaled 423 yards in the win.

Defensively, Louisiana forced two turnovers on the day. Safety Tyrone Lewis was all over the field, totaling ten tackles and half a sack in addition to a late pass breakup to seal the win.

Cajuns cornerback Keyon Martin was carried off the field on a stretcher in the second quarter and taken to a local hospital in San Marcos. However, Martin was reportedly released from the hospital later that evening.

For Texas State, starting quarterback Jordan McCloud also left the game in the second quarter and did not return. RJ Martinez pitched the rest of the game for the Bobcats.

Louisiana improved to 7-1 overall and 4-0 in the league, keeping them atop the Sun Belt West Division. They will return to action against Arkansas State on November 9th at home. The Bobcats fell to 2-2 in conference play, making a berth in the league title game unlikely at this point.
