Fenroy has faith in line
LOUISIANA La. - Tyrell Fenroy doesn't hesitate when asked the reason for his freshman success.
"The offensive line has really stepped up," said the University of Louisiana's leading rusher and the catalyst of what could be a record-setting rushing season for the Ragin' Cajuns. "Every time we've called a running play the last few weeks, they've worked to make it effective."
The running game was certainly that last Saturday, when the Cajuns rushed for 265 yards and averaged 5.1 yards per carry against the Sun Belt Conference's second-best defense.
And Fenroy? His 156 yards and three touchdowns, the most in his brief career, helped propel UL to a 31-28 victory over Troy that gave the Cajuns their first two-game win streak in more than a year. It also kept them alive in the Sun Belt race heading into this weekend's road contest at North Texas.
He gives all the credit for that performance, as well as UL's 457-yard rush effort at Arkansas State and the 322-yard outing against Northwestern State, to an offensive line that was a patchwork group early this season due to injuries.
"It means everything for them to be healthy," Fenroy said. "If they're banged up, we know we're not going to be as successful."
