"W"
It’s what is going to finally appear on the Ragin’ Cajuns football schedule on September 23rd. There are many though who haven’t even begun to look that far down the road due to the discouragement accompanying the first two games.
This past Saturday, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette suffered its second big loss in two weeks.
After coming through a tough work week and putting forth extra effort at practice, the Cajuns’ previous wound from LSU seemed to be torn open again by the Aggies of Texas A&M. A sloppy start ended up in a disheartening loss as TAMU cruised passed the Cajuns, 51-7.
The Aggies controlled the entire game, easily scoring every time but twice when they had the ball, once being a missed field goal.
The Cajuns found it hard to get things rolling and seemed to falter until quarterback Michael Desormeaux caused a spark by driving the offense 74 yards in seven plays for their only score of the game. After that, the team seemed to play better mentally, but just wasn’t able to capitalize against the A&M defense.
Some people wonder, why do we play these games? One would think that they would affect the season more in a negative sense than anything else. This may not actually be the case; at least cornerback Michael Adams doesn’t think so.
