UL drew a lot of attention for its success in the passing game Saturday, and justifiably so. Saturday’s 33-14 win over Eastern Michigan was easily the most impressive aerial outing since the Cajuns revamped their offense last season.
But they haven’t forgotten where the bread’s buttered, and that running game’s still there and still potent.
Tailback Tyrell Fenroy bulled and burst his way for 110 rushing yards even though playing only two series after halftime. He already had 100 yards on the ground before his three-yard touchdown less than five minutes into the second half gave UL a 30-0 lead.
“I get to the point where I expect him to break everything,” said Cajun coach Rickey Bustle, “and I’m mad when he doesn’t. He does a great job seeing the running lanes. I don’t know how he gets through some of them, but he just accelerates.
“He’s as good or better than any back that I have ever been around at doing that. He just takes the handoff and makes one cut and accelerates through there.”
