 North Texas came into its game against Louisiana on Saturday night hoping to slow down running back Tyrell Fenroy on a night when he seemed destined to break the Sun Belt Conference rushing record.

It turned out that wide receiver Jason Chery was the player the Mean Green should have been worried about.

The senior scored five touchdowns in the first half, providing the Ragin’ Cajuns the spark they needed to race past the Mean Green, 59-30, at Fouts Field

  UL’s Jason Chery scored five touchdowns and accounted for 30 points on Saturday, tying for the most in both categories in school and Sun Belt history.

The school record of five touchdowns and 30 points was set by Jim Barton against Delta State in 1968 and matched by Brian Mitchell against Lamar in 1989.

Mitchell scored four times in three other games. Other Cajuns to score four touchdowns include Jerome Coleman against Idaho in 2001, David Foret against East Carolina in 1981 and Mark Speyrer against Abilene Christian in 1972.

_ That's bull. You're in a position where the game is decided and instead of putting 60+ you decide to do the classy thing and take a knee. I don't care how hard a 3rd stringer works, you don't take class out of the situation to get a kid a TD. He has plenty of time in his career for TD's and he probably would have felt kind of bad getting his first in that situation anyhow. I definitely disagree.

sorry _

Masson takes it in.

sorry back at you!

_ I'm split down the middle. I wanted to see us reach 60+ points, but damn Bustle knows how losing feels. I am sure he did the right thing by taking the knee. It's a sign of respect if nothing else. We could have easily ended this with 66. _

Not about reaching 60. Its about letting everyone share in the success you work so hard for every week.

I would have loved to score 60, but I can't imagine anyone on the team or the staff feeling any better than they did if they would have scored 66. We still broke our modern day record, and played the good guy role at the same time.

Next week we play Red Boro's, let's put 60 on them and break the record again. We might need 60 next week to win.

It was an awesome game. It was even better watching in person.

Props to our guys.

That's still not the point nor is it necessary. Not sure if you were involved in athletics but there is a time to show respect and sportsmanship to your opponents. This was hopefully instilled in many of us early on playing sports and should carry on to any level. Did you hear the fans cheering thanking us for not scoring on that play?I really don't care if others have done this to us in the past. This coach and his team never have and the game was obviously decided by a large margin. You show some class and take a knee. Masson will get a chance to "share in the success" later. By this logic, we could have just lined up in 5 WR sets and bombed it down the field and hoped we got lucky also.

I heard our guys in the stands yelling, "let the kid take it in!!!"

BTW, I was a band jock, and whenever my lip got tired.....the guy that spelled me took it to the house any chance he could!

A hard call for me as well. While I would love to give all our guys their day of fame, as they have certainly paid their dues, I think Knute Rockne said it far better than I ever could...

Scoring was certainly a priviledge we earned, not scoring was total class...

Has anyone thought about how the NTU defence felt about taking a knee three times. Just run the ball up the middle and have them try and stop you. You make it fine, if not their defence did the job and they felt good about themselves as well as their fans.........
