Tied with just less than 11 minutes left in the third quarter of an eventual 48-38 win over South Alabama on Saturday night at Cajun Field, UL pulled away in the period with a 45-yard Elijah Mitchell touchdown run, a 41-yard Kyle Pfau field goal and a 1-yard Mitchell run to go into the fourth leading 41-24.

Mitchell also squeezed his third TD of the game, a 3-yard run, between Kawaan Baker’s 13-yard TD run for the Jaguars midway through the final quarter and Cole Garvin’s 50-yard TD pass to Baker with 15 seconds left as the Ragin’ Cajuns became bowl-eligible.
