MONROE — The bend-but-don’t-break defense that the Louisiana-Lafayette football team has used so effectively at times this season turned in yet another signature performance in a 34-27 win against Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday night.
Despite giving up huge chunks of yards at points, the Ragin’ Cajuns (7-3, 6-0) turned on the heat when it mattered defensively. They forced three turnovers and sacked ULM’s Pete Thomas six times in the second half, lifting the Cajuns to their sixth consecutive win.
