Recap

November football at its finest.

Four first-half sacks by Chauncey Manac, three Malik Willis interceptions, and a special teams touchdown for Louisiana were the top moments in Lynchburg, VA as the Ragin Cajuns (10-1, 7-0 SBC) obliterate Liberty (7-4) 42-14 at Williams Stadium, ending the Flames' streak of 15 straight home wins.

The game began just as wild as it ended, with two turnovers by Hugh Freeze's club within the first four minutes. A fumble on Liberty’s opening drive resulted in a three-and-out for the Cajuns. On the punt, it was touched by a Liberty player and recovered at the 15 yard line by Louisiana, which ended in a missed field goal by Cajuns kicker Nate Snyder, who is now 3-7 on FGs for the year since taking over for the injured Kenneth Almendares. From there, Louisiana’s offense came alive, with Levi Lewis (14-25, 166 yds, 3 TDs) found John Stephens Jr on a 50/50 ball for a touchdown, and then found Kyren Lacy later on in the 1st half on the same route to make it 14-0 Cajuns.

Later in the 2nd quarter, a fumbled punt snap was recovered by Dalen Cambre and returned for a Louisiana touchdown to extend the Cajun lead to 21. From this point on, Malik Willis and the Flames offense were playing catch up against a hungry defense. Chauncey Manac had a monster first half, getting 4 sacks and matching his season total this afternoon. Andre Riley, Kam Pedescleaux, and Mason Narcisse all racking up interceptions off of Willis in this game, as the Cajuns won the turnover battle 6-0. Malik Willis went 14-of-34 for 162 yards with two TDs and two INTs. He also had 28 rushing yards, his second-lowest rushing number of the season.

After a quick strike by the Flames to open the 2nd half, it was all Cajuns after that. Montrell Johnson (11 TDs), Neal Johnson, and Emani Bailey (4 TDs) all find the endzone to put the game away for the Cajuns, who will now to look to extend their program best 10 game win streak with ULM coming to town next week before the big Sun Belt Championship game against Appalachian State.
