Defensive Player of the Week
Louisiana Football grabbed two of the three Sun Belt Players of the Week awards as announced by the conference this week.
Jemarlous Moten (Louisiana, Sr., DB)
Senior cornerback Jemarlous Moten led the Cajuns with a career-high 12 tackles in the win at Troy, but he turned in the biggest play of the contest in the first quarter when he gathered in a fumble and returned it 56 yards for a touchdown to give UL the lead for good in a 37-24 win. It was the third touchdown of his career (he had two INT returns for TDs in 2011).
Special Teams Player of the Week
Brett Baer (Louisiana, Sr., P/PK)
Senior kicker Brett Baer made field goals from 25, 25 and 32 yards to help lead UL to a 37-24 win at Troy, snapping a 21-game losing streak in road openers and ending TU's 25-game win streak in home openers.
