For the first time since the season-opening loss to Mississippi State, UL’s defense struggled mightily to stop the running game. Normally, it’s the Cajuns’ running game that’s the start of the show. On this night, South Alabama’s rushing attack was virtually unstoppable at times without a holding penalty. But the Cajuns’ defense delivered three key stops in the middle of the second half and the offense responded with an impressive 17-play, 85-yard scoring drive to give UL a two-score cushion in the 37-27 road victory
