Louisiana Runs Over Troy 33-6 on the Ground
Louisiana threw for 108 yards and won by 27. That tells you about all you need to know. The Ragin' Cajuns ran 49 times for 243 yards, beat Troy 33-6, and moved to 5-2.
They scored first and kept scoring. KeDarius Wade caught a 3-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter, and JJ Garner broke a 37-yard touchdown run in the second (the rushed conversion failed, so it was 13-0). Tony Sterner kicked a 42-yard field goal with 1:44 left in the half and a 46-yarder as time expired, which made it 19-0 at the break. Troy needed a score to wake up, and got one: Tucker Kilcrease ran 23 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter, though the extra point failed and it was 19-6. Steven Blanco answered with a 2-yard run to make it 26-6, and Anthony Reagan Jr. added a 15-yard run early in the fourth for the last points.
Louisiana led the whole way. The turnover column is the other part of it. The Trojans lost two fumbles and Louisiana had none, and Troy never threw an interception. Troy's offense still gained 267 yards to Louisiana's 351, which is closer than the score but not close enough. Troy dropped to 3-3, and Louisiana's three rushing touchdowns of 37, 2 and 15 yards came from three different backs (Garner, Blanco and Reagan), which is a deep room.
For fantasy, this was a quiet game with a lot of small pieces. The top three scorers had 15.3, 12.2 and 12.2 points, and Garner and Reagan finished right behind them at 12.2 and 11.8.
