The Ragin’ Cajuns converted Lamar’s turnovers directly into 16 points as they scored all 40 points in the first half. Lamar took better care of the ball in the second half but could not mount an offensive attack to cut into the UL lead. UL scored on its first possession as Brett Baer connected on a careerlong 52-yard field goal with 13:04 to play in the first quarter. The Cardinals held the Cajuns on three straight plays from the Lamar 32-yard line to force the field goal attempt. On Lamar’s first drive, junior transfer quarterback Ryan Mossakowski was hit by Justin Hamilton at the Cards’ 25-yard line for the first turnover of the game. UL recovered at Lamar’s 29-yard line to begin its second drive. Senior quarterback Blaine Gautier hit tight end Jacob Maxwell for a 2yard scoring strike to cap the 29-yard drive and put the Cajuns ahead 10-0. Gautier, who passed for 2,958 yards and 23 touchdowns in 2011, finished the game with 142 passing yards and two touchdowns. Baer would finish with four first half field goals, and in addition to a pair of scoring strikes from Gautier, Alonzo Harris and Effrem Reed each scored from a yard out. Mossakowski finished his first game for Lamar by completing 12-of-19 passes for 81 yards. Backup Caleb Berry was 6-of-10 for 75 yards and the one interception. Lamar’s Herschel Sims would finish with 42 net yards on 14 carries, while DePauldrick Garrett rushed for 35 yards on seven carries in his first game back after missing a season with a shoulder surgery. The Cardinals finished with 194 yards of total offense as compared to 346 for the Ragin’ Cajuns.

Justin Stout kicked a 29-yard field goal in the third quarter, and sophomore running back Herschel Sims closed the scoring with a 4-yard TD run with less that six minutes to play in the game. Lamar quarterback Ryan Mossakowski finished 21-of-30 for 224 yards and the two touchdown passes. The Cardinals also picked up 208 rushing yards to finish with 432 total yards.

The Panthers managed just 84 rushing yards with an average of 3.0 per carry and were just 3-of-11 on third down attempts and 0-of-3 on fourth down tries.
