Ragin' Cajuns stop Arkansas State at 1-yard line on final play to win 34-30
JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) --- Bill Davis' 36-yard run put Louisiana-Lafayette in
front for good and the Ragin' Cajuns stopped Arkansas State at its own 1-yard
line on the final play of the game to win 34-30 on Thursday night.
Bell's touchdown gave Louisiana (5-6, 4-3 Sun Belt Conference) a 31-27 lead
late in the third quarter and Tony Sterner's 50-yard field goal early in the
fourth made it a four-point lead. The Red Wolves (5-6, 4-3) answered with a
field goal and then drove 89 yards to the 2-yard line only to see Jaylen Raynor
stopped at the 1 within a mass of players as time ran out. It took a review to
confirm Raynor didn't reach the goal line.
Lunch Winfield passed for 147 yards and rushed for 89 more including two
touchdowns for Louisiana.
Raynor threw for 256 yards and rushed for 54. Devin Spencer rushed for 71 yards
and a score for the Red Wolves.
Spencer's 1-yard run was the Red Wolves' only TD on offense and it came at the
end of the half for a 27-24 lead. Arkansas State's other touchdowns came on
Cody Sigler's 27-yard fumble return and Chauncey Cobb's 93-yard kickoff return.
Arkansas State turnovers on a punt and kickoff led to Louisiana's first two
touchdowns.
Louisiana was without seven players who were suspended by the Sun Belt
Conference after a postgame melee in their previous game, a 42-39 win over
Texas State, which had six players suspended.
