The Student-Athlete Performance Center New facility to benefit all Ragin’ Cajuns student-athletes

O

pening in the fall of 2015 will be the approximate 100,000-square foot Student-Athlete Performance Center, which will benefit all student-athletes in the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns 16 Division I athletic programs. The new facility, which is part of Tier I of the Athletic Facilities Master Plan and will be located adjacent to the Leon Moncla Indoor Practice Facility. Officials, led by a group that included University President Dr. E. Joseph Savoie, Director of Athletics Scott Farmer, RCAF Chairman Wayne Elmore, student-athletes Shellie Landry and Blake Trahan, head football coach Mark Hudspeth and head baseball coach Tony Robichaux, officially broke ground on the project in August of 2014. The Student-Athlete Performance Center is another step in Ragin’ Cajuns athletics competing at the national level. The new facility give coaches what they need to recruit great student-athletes, while providing student-athletes what they need to be successful. The new facility will house a 12,000-square foot weight room, a state-of-the-art athletic training room and a 150-seat auditorium. It will also include a new football locker room and new offices and meeting rooms for the Ragin’ Cajuns football coaching staff. Other Tier I projects included the renovation of Cajun Field, which was completed in time for the 2014 season and features new seating and facilities in the south end zone, and the renovation of the Ragin’ Cajuns Soccer and Track Facility.

Leon Moncla Indoor Practice Facility Named one of the finest indoor facilities in the country

T

he Leon Moncla Indoor Practice Facility was first opened in August of 2007, and is an 88,791-square foot facility that was built by architect Gene Sellers for approximately $4.5 million. The facility houses a full 120-yard football field turf surface purchased from the New Orleans Saints that was used during a NFL season, New Orleans Bowl, and Sugar Bowl/National Championship game. In August of 2013, the Leon Moncla Indoor Facility was ranked as one of the top indoor facilities in the country by SaturdayDownSouth.com, joining Power Five programs Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Auburn, LSU, Oklahoma State, Nebraska and Michigan. The Leon Moncla Indoor Practice Facility also houses a basketball practice facility which includes a full court with six goals, locker room, video room, players lounge and meeting room. The basketball court was taken from the Cajundome and was replaced by a court used in the NCAA Women’s Basketball National Championship game. The court recently was refinished with a new paint job in the summer of 2012. In the fall of 2009, the then NBA’s New Orleans Hornets held preseason workouts at the facility. Drop-down batting cages hang above the west end zone and are utilized by the basketball, softball and golf teams. Baseball and softball use the turf to take infield practice. Soccer, tennis and track also use the facility periodically.

Gameday In Cajun Country

Home of the Best Pregame Atmosphere, Homefield Advantage and Fans in the Sun Belt

G

ameday for Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns football fans begins a couple of days before kickoff when RVs and campers from all over Acadiana and elsewhere start converging on the grounds around Cajun Field. • By early morning each home Saturday during the season, the Ragin’ Cajun faithful begin filling up the remaining areas with tailgating tents, firing up grills and playing various games. And between the aroma of the latest recipe being prepared and the sounds of Zydeco being performed on the stage adjacent to Cajun Field, fans are greeting their football team as they make their way during the annual “Cajun Walk.” • The atmosphere at a Ragin’ Cajuns home football game is second-to-none in the country. Among schools in the Sun Belt Conference, The Sporting News ranked Cajun Field as the Best Pregame Atmosphere, along with the Best Homefield Advantage and Best Fans. • Once inside the stadium, where the field surface is two feet below sea level, fans are treated to pre-game and halftime performances by the Pride of Acadiana Marching Band, while finishing off public address announcer Hans Nelson when he calls out, “And that’s another Louisiana ... first down!”

2015 Outlook

Cajuns look to remain among elites of Group of 5 schools

T

he Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns football team has been the model of consistency since the hiring of head coach Mark Hudspeth in 2011. During that span, the Ragin’ Cajuns have posted four consecutive 9-4 records that were culminated by wins in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. Joining Oregon as the only FBS school in the nation to win nine or more contests, including a bowl game, in each of the last four seasons, Louisiana has etched its name as one of the top programs in the Group of 5. Among schools that are currently in the Group of 5, only Northern Illinois, Boise State, Cincinnati and Utah State have won more games than the Cajuns’ 36 victories during the past four years. And with the return of 11 starters and 52 letterwinners, the Ragin’ Cajuns will look to maintain its consistency on the gridiron while maintaining its status as one of the top programs in the Group of 5.

QUARTERBACK

After three seasons of having Terrance Broadway direct the Ragin’ Cajuns offense, there will be a new signal-caller for the 2015 season. Replacing Broadway, the school’s No. 2 all-time passer with 7,556 yards, was one of the primary goals for the coaching staff heading into spring practice. And after a spirited battle among three potential replacements – Brooks Haack, Jalen Nixon and Jordan Davis – during spring drills, the Ragin’ Cajuns feel comfortable with whoever takes the opening snap in their Sept. 5 season-opener at Kentucky. Haack, who has served as the primary backup to Broadway the past two seasons, emerged as the

2015 Media Guide

No. 1 candidate coming out of spring practice. The Katy, Texas native was efficient in six appearances on the season completing 20 of 23 passes with a pair of touchdowns. Haack, who has completed nearly 71 percent of his passes in his young career, helped engineer a game-winning drive in the Ragin’ Cajuns Sun Belt Conference opener against Georgia State. While Haack can be labeled as the designated passer among the trio, Nixon is rated as the top rusher and most versatile of the group. The reserve quarterback missed the team’s first six games of the season, but saw significant action as a special teams member in the second half of the year playing in all seven games. Nixon saw limited action directing the Ragin’ Cajuns offense as a sophomore, but made contributions as a freshman in 2013, completing six of 12 passes with a touchdown. The player with the most potential for the future is Davis, a redshirt freshman who spent time on the travel squad in 2014. A dual threat quarterback, Davis saw significant action during spring drills and will be ready to see playing time in his second year with the team. Incoming freshman Dion Ray, an early enrollee for the Cajuns, will bolster the group after concluding a high school career in which he was rated as the No. 3 quarterback in the state of Louisiana. Another incoming freshman, Chris Weaver, concluded a stellar career at Saraland (Ala.) High School where he was the Coastal Alabama Football Player of the Year and helped his team to the state championship game.

RUNNING BACK

Another area that will look slightly different in the Ragin’ Cajuns backfield will be at running back where four-year starter Alonzo Harris graduated after finishing as the school’s third-leading rusher with 3,330 yards and 44 touchdowns. But the cupboard is far from bare in the backfield as the Ragin’ Cajuns return one of the most dynamic players in college football – junior Elijah McGuire. As one half of the Ragin’ Cajuns dynamic backfield duo, McGuire was nothing short of spectacular after finishing with 1,264 yards, 14 touchdowns and ranking third nationally in yards per carry (7.6). His versatility as not only a runner and receiver, but also as the top all-purpose back in the league, earned McGuire both the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year and SBC Offensive Player of the Year awards. In becoming just the fourth player in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season, McGuire joined an exclusive club that featured Tyrell Fenroy, the school’s all-time leading rusher, along with quarterbacks Michael Desormeaux and Brian Mitchell. McGuire, who enters the season ranked seventh on the school’s all-time rushing list, was a model of consistency in 2014 rushing for a touchdown in nine consecutive games while recording five 100-yard games on the season. He accounted for a team-best 22 plays of over 20 yards during the season with seven going for 40 yards or greater. McGuire shined under the bright lights as he posted a career-high 265 yards – the 12th-best total by an NCAA rusher in 2014), with four touchdowns in a nationally-televised win over Arkansas State.

RaginCajuns.com


INTRO | 2015 CAJUNS | COACHES | REVIEW | RECORDS | HISTORY | ADMINISTRATION | MEDIA He also showed his versatility out of the backfield as he caught a team-high 45 passes with a pair of touchdowns. McGuire grabbed a career-high 10 passes in a non-conference battle at Boise State while scoring on a 62-yard strike from Broadway on the second play of the Cajuns’ nationally-televised win at Texas State. The job of sharing the load with McGuire during the season will be between seniors Torrey Pierce, Effrem Reed, sophomore Darius Hoggins and true freshman Walter Williams. Pierce played in the first six games of the season for the Ragin’ Cajuns before suffering a season-ending injury at Texas State. The all-purpose back gained 43 yards on 11 carries during the season, added nine receptions out of the backfield and also returned kickoffs. Reed finished as the team’s fourth-leading rusher as a junior while seeing time in all 13 games as a reserve back and special teams member. His most extensive action came at New Mexico State where he rushed for 65 yards on 11 carries with a touchdown. Hoggins saw limited time at running back for the Ragin’ Cajuns, but performed well in a reserve role against New Mexico State where he would score his first collegiate touchdown. Williams, an early enrollee who took part in spring practice, brings a solid resume to the Cajuns after finishing a prep career in which he rushed for over 2,700 yards with 24 touchdowns in his final two seasons.

OFFENSIVE LINE

The Ragin’ Cajuns lost a combined 78 career starts between graduating seniors Daniel Quave and Terry Johnson after the 2014 season, but with a group that includes three returning starters along with some talented players looking to battle for playing time, the Ragin’ Cajuns are optimistic that the front line will not lose a beat in 2015. Senior Mykhael Quave is slated to be the leader of the offensive line and will slide over into the left guard slot – his original starting spot as a redshirt freshman in 2012. The second-team All-Sun Belt Conference selection and Lombardi Award Watch List candidate, spent the past two seasons as

the Ragin’ Cajuns left tackle and will look to follow in his older brother’s footsteps in consistency. The younger Quave, who started all 13 games for the Ragin’ Cajuns in 2014, extended his current streak to 39 games, and can tie his older brother’s school record (52). On the right side of the line is senior Octravian Anderson, who was an anchor at right tackle for the Ragin’ Cajuns after starting all 13 games and extending his streak of consecutive starts to 26. Another senior – Donovan Williams – was a fixture in all 13 games in his first season at left guard with the Ragin’ Cajuns with Eddie Gordon expected to take over the role at center with redshirt sophomore Grant Horst penciled in as the starter at left tackle. On the outside, third-year player D’Aquin Withrow and redshirt freshman Jesse Freeman are slated to serve as backups for the Ragin’ Cajuns with a pair of redshirt freshmen – Nick Dugger and Adrian Goodacre – slated to see action at the guard spots. Horst, who was penciled in as the starter at center last season due to an injury to Johnson, and Dugger are expected to serve as the primary backups to Gordon. The Ragin’ Cajuns bolstered the line with the addition of junior college product Raynard Ford, along with incoming freshmen Kevin Dotson, Robert Hunt, Ken Marks, Cole Prudhomme and Rico Robinson, the younger brother of former letterwinner and current NFL tight end Ladarius Green.

RECEIVER

Along with McGuire, who led the team in receptions and was second in yards, the Ragin’ Cajuns return seven of their top receivers. The most important player returning is fifth-year senior Jamal Robinson, who caught 15 passes and a team-high four TDs, despite being limited to four games due to an injury. The 6-foot-4 Robinson averaged 17.3 yards per grab during the season and his return will look to open up a passing game that relied on short throws. Despite the loss of Robinson, the Ragin’ Cajuns had four players record 30 or more receptions on the season. McGuire, departed starter James Butler, along with first-year receivers Al Riles and

Despite being limited to four games in 2014, senior wide receiver Jamal Robinson led the Ragin’ Cajuns with four touchdown receptions while averaging over 17 yards per catch.

Gabe Fuselier made up for the loss of Robinson. Riles, a converted safety/linebacker, caught 34 passes with a touchdown in his first season on the offensive side of the ball with Fuselier catching 30 passes and a pair of scores. Returning letterwinner C.J. Bates, a converted defensive back, adjusted as the season progressed finishing with 12 receptions that included a touchdown grab against Nevada in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. Jared Johnson, a 6-5 junior, caught 10 passes on the season for the Ragin’ Cajuns and used his length and basketball background to snag three TDs to wrap up scoring drives in the red zone. Another target, Devin Scott, saw action in 12 games for the Ragin’ Cajuns and averaged a team-high 17.4 yards on five catches during the season. A group of newcomers – Keenan Barnes, Gary Haynes, Jarrod Jackson and Michael Jacquet – will all look to contribute in their first season at the collegiate level.

TIGHT END

Seniors Donovan Williams (77) and Mykhael Quave (70) anchored the left side of the offensive line for the Ragin’ Cajuns in 2014. Williams will move to right guard in 2015 with Quave sliding inside at left guard - a position he started at as a freshman in 2012.

2015 Media Guide

Another area that the Ragin’ Cajuns will see a new starter will be at tight end after Larry Pettis graduated. In his lone season as a starter, Pettis finished as the team’s fifth-leading receiver with 19 receptions and a touchdown, while serving as a key blocker in the Ragin’ Cajuns rushing game. The three returning players on the roster – Nick Byrne, Evan Tatford and Matthew Barnes – combined to catch nine passes on the season. With Barnes expected to miss the 2015 season due to injury, Byrne and Tatford will see the majority of action. Byrne caught five passes on the season in his first extensive action at tight end after playing primarily on special teams in 2013. The junior earned his first career start and responded with three receptions in the Ragin’ Cajuns season-opener last year against Southern. Tatford played in all 13 games in his inaugural campaign with the Ragin’ Cajuns after transferring from Tulane after the 2012 season. The hometown

Greg Siener moves to tight end after a threeyear career on the offensive line for the Ragin’ Cajuns while Jacob Beasley will look to contribute after having a productive stint in spring practice. Bolstering the area will be incoming freshman Carlos Robinson, who was rated as the No. 2 tight end in the state of Louisiana and the 23rd-ranked tight end in the South.

DEFENSIVE LINE

Outside of the loss of Broadway at quarterback, the biggest area that needs to be filled is on the defensive line where the Ragin’ Cajuns must replace departed starters Christian Ringo and Justin Hamilton. Ringo, who was drafted in the sixth round by the Green Bay Packers in the 2015 NFL Draft, created havoc on the edge for the Ragin’ Cajuns finishing with 45 tackles with 20 stops behind the line of scrimmage with a single-season record 11.5 sacks. Hamilton, who signed a free agent contract with the Buffalo Bills, took care of the middle as he recorded 27 tackles with 10 stops for loss and five sacks. The trio of Blain Winston, Sherard Johnson and Karmichael Dunbar were penciled in as the starters coming out of spring practice with returning letterwinners Chris Prater, Jacoby Briscoe and redshirt freshman Ladarrius Kidd listed as the backups. Briscoe, another local product, posted 19 tackles in his first season with the Ragin’ Cajuns after transferring from Miami. Prater finished with 13 stops at defensive end with Taboris Lee, who missed spring practice with an injury, recording 16 tackles as a true freshman. Remaine Douglas and Rodrick Stephens each showed flashes during the season and will look to bounce back from season-ending injuries. Darryl Johnson, a 2014 signee, will look to contribute in his first season with the Ragin’ Cajuns along with incoming freshman Mario Osborne.

2014 STARTER IN BOLD

Tre’maine Lightfoot (58) made a solid contribution for the Ragin’ Cajuns, playing in the final seven games and earning four starts on the season. On the year, Lightfoot recorded 29 tackles (18 solo, 11 assists) with one tackle for loss and one fumble recovery.

Tyren Alexander along with Arkansas transfer Otha Peters. Peters, a highly-touted prospect coming out of high school in 2011, spent his first two years in Fayetteville before returning to Cajun Country last summer. The junior will be part of a defensive unit that led the Sun Belt Conference in rushing defense in 2014. Worthy, who split time between the secondary and linebacker, collected 41 tackles (27 solo) on the season with three pass breakups. Fouquier had a breakout season for the Ragin’ Cajuns, finishing with a career-best 37 tackles and a sack. Lightfoot recorded 27 tackles in the final seven games of the season with Posey recording an identical 27 stops with Washington adding 22. Added to a deep group is junior Trey Granier, an LSU transfer who played in nine games in his first season with the Ragin’ Cajuns.

SECONDARY

Tracy Walker, named to the Sun Belt Conference AllFreshman Team, started the final eight games of the 2014 season, recording 44 tackles and tying for the team lead with a pair of interceptions.

2015 Media Guide

The Ragin’ Cajuns will break in a new pair of cornerbacks in 2015 as Simeon Thomas and Jevante Watson are slated to replace departed starters Corey Trim and Trevence Patt. Expected to join them in the secondary are returning starters Tracy Walker and Travis Crawford. Thomas, a 6-foot-3 sophomore who missed the 2014 season, earned a starting spot after a spectacular spring. Watson, who started in four games in 2014, recorded 16 tackles with an interception and three pass breakups. Walker, named to the Sun Belt Conference All-Freshman Team, appeared in all 13 games for Louisiana earning starts in the final eight. He finished seventh on the team with 44 tackles, tied for team-lead with two interceptions and was second in both passes defended (5) and pass breakups (3). Crawford appeared in the final nine games of the season as a true freshman for the Ragin’ Cajuns, making six starts. He finished the season with 28 tackles, two pass breakups, one tackle for loss and one forced fumble. Troy McCollum and junior college transfer Christian Goodlett are penciled in as backups on the corner with returning letterwinner Dominick Jones and freshman Corey Turner listed as the backups at safety.

Another newcomer, Savion Brown, will push for playing time after being rated as the No. 67 junior college product in the country by 247Sports. com. Also looking to see playing time for the Ragin’ Cajuns as freshmen are local products Kamar Greenhouse and Ethan Rose.

SPECIAL TEAMS

A new kicker and punter will be in the lineup for Louisiana in 2015 as the combination of Dylan Scheurich and Stevie Artigue will look to replace Hunter Stover at kicker, with incoming Australian Steven Coutts expected to replace fellow countryman Daniel Cadona. Scheurich was penciled in as the starter after a successful spring, but is expected to battle with Lafayette High product Artigue in fall camp. The Ragin’ Cajuns also return Carlos Alvarez, who handled kickoff chores as a freshman in 2011, and redshirt freshman Aaron Bird. At punter, Coutts becomes the second Australian to play for the Ragin’ Cajuns and will look to duplicate the performance of Cadona, who averaged nearly 43 yards per attempt in 2014 with 24 punts placed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line. Dependable letterwinners Stephen Morella (short snapper) and Jake Guidry (deep snapper/ holder) each return for the Ragin’ Cajuns after the duo was perfect on nearly 150 attempts last season.

SCHEDULE

The Ragin’ Cajuns will face a challenging schedule in 2015 that features six home games at Cajun Field for the first time since 2012, a pair of nationally-televised ESPN contests, and a seasonopening date at Kentucky. The Ragin’ Cajuns will play their two most common opponents – Louisiana Tech and Northwestern State – during non-conference play, while completing a home-and-home series with Mid-American Conference opponent Akron. In Sun Belt Conference play, Louisiana will host Texas State (Oct. 10), ULM (Oct. 31), New Mexico State (Nov. 21) and Troy (Dec. 5), while traveling to face Arkansas State (Oct. 20), Georgia State (Nov. 7), South Alabama (Nov. 12) and Appalachian State (Nov. 28).

2015 LOUISIANA RAGIN’ CAJUNS FOOTBALL

Mark Hudspeth Fifth Season at Louisiana • 36-16 Delta State, 1992

Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns head football coach Mark Hudspeth is a winner. It’s that simple. From his earliest days as a coach leading Winston Academy to the 1997 Mississippi state title to leading the Ragin’ Cajuns to unprecedented success both on the field and in the classroom, Hudspeth has been a champion. Like football, winning is all he knows. Hired as Louisiana’s 26th head coach in program history on Dec. 13, 2010, Hudspeth quickly grabbed the attention of Ragin’ Cajuns fans with his dynamic personality, energy and desire. He tirelessly toured the Acadiana area, speaking to any group that wanted to listen to him speak about Ragin’ Cajuns football. And for a passionate fan base that has dreamed of a consistent winner on the gridiron, Hudspeth has delivered from his first day on the job. The development of the Ragin’ Cajuns in four seasons under Hudspeth has been dramatic. With 36 wins during Hudspeth’s tenure in Cajun Country, Louisiana has posted the best four-year record in program history while also becoming the first school in NCAA history to win the same bowl game (R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl) four consecutive times. With bowl victories in each of the past four seasons, the Ragin’ Cajuns are one of five schools in the country to accomplish that feat joining Michigan

State, Oregon, South Carolina and Texas A&M. And during that same four-year span, the Ragin’ Cajuns join Oregon as the only schools in the nation to win nine-plus game, including a bowl victory. With 36 wins under Hudspeth’s arrival in 2011, Louisiana has established itself as one of the elite football programs in the Group of 5. During the same time span beginning in 2011, only Northern Illinois, Boise State, Cincinnati and Utah State have won more games than the Ragin’ Cajuns. Under Hudspeth, the Cajuns have been dominant on their home turf posting an 18-4 record in four seasons. With an exciting brand of football, attendance at Cajun Field has risen with seven of the top 15 single-game attendance marks in school history occurring since Hudspeth’s arrival. In three of Hudspeth’s first four seasons, the Cajuns have led the Sun Belt Conference in average attendance while posting the three highest singleseason marks in school history, highlighted by a single-season average of 29,171 fans in 2011. Since Hudspeth’s arrival in Lafayette, 36 players have been named to the All-Sun Belt Conference team with running back Elijah McGuire being selected as the league’s Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year in 2014. Two players - Alonzo Harris (2011) and McGuire (2013) – were named the league’s Freshman of the Year, while McGuire earned Freshman All-America honors after

Mark Hudspeth congratulates retiring Troy head coach Larry Blakeney at the end of their regular-season finale in 2014.

a solid inaugural campaign in 2013. While the Ragin’ Cajuns have excelled on the field under Hudspeth, they have also thrived in the classroom. In seven semesters under Hudspeth dating back to 2011, the Cajuns have turned in six of the best team grade point averages dating back to 1982. During the 2013-14 academic year, the Ragin’ Cajuns were one of 16 teams honored by the Sun Belt Conference for excellence in the classroom, earning the league’s Team Academic Award. The Cajuns success in the classroom was evident during the Fall 2014 semester as the team posted the highest semester grade point average (2.923) in school history, and the sixth consecutive semester of earning a team GPA of 2.6 or better. Sixty-five student-athletes earned a 3.0 GPA during the semester with six earning a perfect 4.0 and 11 earning their degree. From the day he arrived on campus, Hudspeth began educating the Ragin’ Cajuns on how to win on a consistent level. Inheriting a team that was coming off a 3-9 record in 2010, Hudspeth led the Ragin’ Cajuns to a school-record tying nine wins and the school’s first bowl appearance in over 40 years. One of the first lessons he gave came when he had the offense and defense engage in an oldfashioned tug of war. As the rope went back and forth with neither team generating enough force to win the battle, Hudspeth stopped the Cajuns and had both teams move to the same side of the rope, pointing out how much easier it is to move the rope when everyone was on the same side and fighting for the same thing. Months later in New Orleans against San Diego State, with Louisiana down a point with 35 seconds left and a seemingly endless length of Superdome turf away from even having a chance to win, the Ragin’ Cajuns remembered that lesson by digging in and driving 49 yards in five plays to set up Brett Baer’s game-winning 50-yard field goal as time expired. The NFL has also paid attention to what is

happening with the Ragin’ Cajuns. In 2011, Dwight Bentley (Detroit) and Ladarius Green (San Diego) were selected in the NFL Draft. In 2012, seven Cajuns seniors earned invitations to NFL preseason camps while five former Cajuns earned spots after the 2013 campaign. After concluding a stellar career with the Ragin’ Cajuns, linebacker Justin Anderson signed a free agent contract with the New York Giants and made the active roster during the 2014 season. After finishing a career in which he set the single-season record for sacks, defensive tackle Christian Ringo was selected in the sixth round by the Green Bay Packers in the 2014 NFL Draft. Fellow defensive lineman Justin Hamilton (Buffalo), running back Alonzo Harris (Green Bay) and offensive lineman Daniel Quave (Dallas) all inked free agent contracts to add to the Ragin’ Cajuns presence in the NFL. A 23-year coaching veteran, Hudspeth carries a 102-37 career record in 11 seasons as a collegiate head coach, winning 10 or more games five times and having winning records in 10 straight campaigns. Hudspeth, 46, came to Lafayette after serving as the passing game coordinator at Mississippi State for two seasons (2009-10), helping the Bulldogs end eight years of football frustrations by making a Gator Bowl appearance in his final season. After three years as an assistant coach at Delta State (1999-2000) and Navy (2001), Hudspeth took over as head coach at North Alabama and the winning quickly commenced. He guided the Lions to a 66-21 record in seven seasons (2002-08), winning two Gulf South Conference titles and making five appearances in the NCAA Division II Championship, advancing to the semi-finals three times (2003, 2005, 2008). Inheriting a program that had three consecutive losing records, Hudspeth turned things around quickly, helping UNA to a 13-1 record in just his second season (2003). UNA claimed the league title with a perfect 9-0 mark and advanced to the NCAA

For his effort, Hudspeth was named the Gulf South Coach of the Year while also being voted the NCAA Division II Region 2 Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association. The winning didn’t stop there as the Lions went 11-3 and advanced to the NCAA semis in 2005, the first of four straight 10-win campaigns. UNA went 11-1 in 2006, including 8-0 in league play to claim its second Gulf South title, with Hudspeth earning his second coach of the year award while also being selected as the NCAA Division II Region 2 Coach of the Year again. The Lions followed that up with a 10-2 record and an appearance in the NCAA Division II quarterfinals in 2007. Hudspeth capped off his tenure at North Alabama by guiding the Lions to a 12-2 record in 2008 and making their fourth straight NCAA appearance, falling in the semifinals. A native of Louisville, Miss., Hudspeth grew up in a town with a population of just 7,000, and quickly became one of the towns’ most notable young men, along with current NCAA head coaches Andy Kennedy (Ole Miss men’s basketball) and Matthew Mitchell (Kentucky women’s basketball). Success came to Hudspeth at Winston Academy as he helped the Patriots to the state title game as a senior in football 1987. He went on to earn all-county honors three times and play in the Mississippi High School All-Star game as a senior. After graduating from Delta State with a degree in health and education in 1992, Hudspeth began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Central Arkansas, receiving his master’s degree in secondary school administration in 1993. While at UCA, he was part of the coaching staff that guided the squad to the 1992 Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference crown. Hudspeth earned his first full-time coaching position when he went to Nicholls State, coaching

the wide receivers and tight ends in 1994 before switching to running backs in 1995. His high school alma mater beckoned in 1996 as Hudspeth returned to Winston Academy as head coach, guiding the team to a 25-1 record and the 1997 state title during his two seasons. Hudspeth returned to collegiate ranks in 1999, serving as offensive coordinator at Delta State for two seasons and helping lead the Statesmen to the 2000 NCAA Division II national title. He moved to Annapolis to serve as offensive coordinator at Navy in 2001 before earning his first collegiate head coaching job at North Alabama the following year. Hudspeth is married to the former Tyla McConnell and is the father of three sons: Gunner (a freshman quarterback for the Ragin’ Cajuns), Major and Captain, and one daughter, Carley.

Reed Stringer is entering his fifth season as assistant head coach, tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator on the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns staff. As assistant head coach, he works closely with head coach Mark Hudspeth on the daily operations of the Ragin’ Cajuns program, particularly overseeing all aspects of recruiting and roster management, administering the football academic accountability program, and special teams. Known for being a great evaluator and a relentless recruiter, Stringer’s recruiting efforts have led the way in Louisiana posting four consecutive nine-win seasons for the first time in school history. The 2015 Ragin’ Cajuns recruiting class was ranked as the best in the Sun Belt Conference for the fourth consecutive year by Scout.com and 247sports.com. Stringer, the 2012 Sun Belt Conference Recruiter of the Year by Scout.com, was once again honored in 2013 by the same publication as one of the top two recruiters in the Sun Belt Conference. Being recognized for his recruiting efforts is nothing new to Stringer, a native of Canton, Miss. In 2009, he was named one of the SEC’s “Top 10 Recruiters” by Rivals.com for his contributions to Mississippi State’s nationally-ranked class which produced 12 players who signed NFL contracts and also included Cincinnati Red’s centerfielder Billy Hamilton. As tight ends coach, Stringer has developed and mentored one of the most consistent and high achieving units on the Ragin Cajun squad with three different tight ends earning all-conference honors in four years. Beginning in 2011, Stringer assisted Ladarius Green in finishing off his career as a three-time All-Sun Belt Conference performer and working his way into a fourth-round draft pick for the NFL’s San Diego Chargers. In 2013, senior Jacob Maxwell earned All-Sun Belt Conference honors and along with Ian Thompson, the duo are both currently with NFL clubs with Maxwell with the Chicago Bears and Thompson with the Green Bay Packers. Lastly in 2014, Larry Pettis’ career came

46

to an end on a high note as he also garnered allconference recognition as well. Stringer’s efforts in overseeing the Ragin Cajun football academic accountability program have also been a plus for the program. With the help of football academics, the Louisiana Ragin Cajun student-athletes graduate at a higher rate among student-athletes in schools both in the state of Louisiana and the Sun Belt Conference, according to 2013 Federal Graduation Rates statistics, which were released by the NCAA. On top of graduating its players, the Ragin Cajun football squad was also awarded the 2013-2014 Sun-Belt Academic Conference Championship for its performance in the classroom. Before spending the 2010 season on Dabo Swinney’s staff at Clemson, Stringer spent seven seasons at Mississippi State in a variety of roles. At 25, he became the youngest full-time coach in the SEC when was promoted to tight ends coach on Sylvester Croom’s staff in 2005 and added special teams duties to his resume in 2007. He was also the Director of Recruiting for Dan Mullen’s 2009 staff. A four-year letterman on the Statesmen’s offensive line, he helped DSU claim the 2000 NCAA Division II national championship. Stringer concluded his career with a string of 35 consecutive starting assignments at offensive left tackle. In addition to the 2000 national title, he was also instrumental in helping Delta State win the 1998 and 2000 Gulf South Conference championships. He earned a bachelor’s degree in business management from Delta State in 2001 and completed a master’s in business administration from DSU in 2003. Stringer was born on January 26, 1979 in Canton, Miss. He is married to the former Emily Howell and they have three sons, Smith, Banks, and John Reed.

An offensive strategist with over two decades of coaching experience, Jay Johnson begins his fifth season at Louisiana, serving as the Cajuns’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. In four seasons under Johnson’s tutelage, the Cajuns have posted some of the top offensive performances in school history, including school records for total offense (5,914) and points (461) in 2012. Behind a stellar performance from sophomore running back Elijah McGuire, Louisiana finished 22nd nationally in rushing offense in 2014, averaging 225.9 yards per game during the 2014 season. The Ragin’ Cajuns were also efficient in the red zone, scoring at a 91.2 percent clip and finishing 10th nationally among FBS teams. Under Johnson’s guidance in 2013, the Cajuns set school-records for total first downs (283) and total plays from scrimmage (883). The Cajuns produced four first-team All-Conference selections, paced by the running back tandem of Alonzo Harris and McGuire. Terrance Broadway led all league starting quarterbacks in passing efficiency while completing 62 percent of his passes for 2,419 yards and 19 touchdowns. In 2011, Blaine Gautier emerged as one of the top offensive threats in the south, throwing for a school record 2,958 yards and 23 touchdowns. In 2012, Broadway replaced Gautier and set a new school record for total offense (3,611). Before coming to Louisiana, Johnson spent one season at Central Michigan (2010) and was at Louisville from 2008-09. Johnson was at Southern Miss for five years (2003-07), working with the tight ends (2003), running backs (2004) and three as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach (2005-07) under head coach Jeff Bower. While at USM, the Golden Eagles established a school record for total offense in 2007 with 5,066,

47

eclipsing the 5,000-yard plateau for the first time in school history. Johnson has honed his coaching skills at a variety of levels and schools. He started his coaching career at Columbia-Hickman High School in 1993, serving as the quarterbacks, receivers and defensive backs coach. In 1994, he moved to Missouri as a graduate assistant coach, later moving to Augsburg College, serving as the school’s offensive coordinator and recruitment coordinator from 1994-95, before moving to that same position at Truman State from 1995-97. He served as a graduate assistant at Kansas from 1997-99 and became its quarterbacks coach in 1999, serving in that role until 2001. Johnson, a three-time All-Gateway Conference quarterback and four-time conference player of the week in his playing days at Northern Iowa, led his teams to a 31-8 record, and won three conference championships, while appearing in three national playoffs. He finished his career with almost 500 completions and threw for over 8,000 yards and 58 touchdowns. He was elected team captain in both the 1991 and 1992 seasons. He quarterbacked the ‘92 team to a 12-2 record, a conference championship and the No. 3 ranking in the final NCAA Div. 1-AA poll. Johnson also holds a variety of academic honors to go with his on-field prowess. He earned President’s Academic Excellence honors in the Gateway Conference and held a perfect 4.0 grade point average while completing his master’s degree at Missouri. That earned him a Superior Graduate Achievement Award from the Department of Health and Exercise Science, and he was a Dean’s List scholar at Northern Iowa where he compiled a 3.47 GPA. He also taught several courses while at Truman State and Missouri. He and his wife, Lori, have one son, Cole.

2015 Media Guide

Melvin Smith, who brings nearly two decades of experience coaching in the Southeastern Conference, begins his first season as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator for the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns. Smith, who mentored current head coach Mark Hudspeth while at Delta State, spent the past two seasons at Auburn, where he helped the Tigers to the 2013 SEC Championship and a berth in the BCS Championship game. During his tenure at Auburn, Smith coached a pair of All-SEC selections, including Jonathan Jones (AP, SEC Coaches) and Jonathon Mincy (SEC Coaches), who were each named to the second team in 2014. In his first season with the Tigers in 2013, Smith was instrumental in the second biggest turnaround in college football history in NCAA records (+8.0 games) while his secondary made one of the most dramatic improvements in production, recording 13 interceptions after recording two in 2012. Among his pupils in 2013 was senior cornerback Chris Davis who was an Associated Press All-SEC second-team selection and made one of the top plays in college football history with a 109-yard missed field goal return for a touchdown in a 34-28 victory over No. 1-ranked Alabama. Before his tenure at Auburn, the Taylorsville, Miss., native spent seven seasons at Mississippi State where he worked with Hudspeth (2009-10) and helped the Bulldogs to a No. 15 ranking in the final 2010 national polls and a berth in the Toyota Gator Bowl. Smith also coached at Alabama, Texas A&M, Ole Miss and Delta State. During his tenure at Mississippi State, Smith mentored Jonathan Banks, who won the 2012 Jim Thorpe Award, presented annually to the nation’s top defensive back. Banks also earned Walter Camp All-America honors and was a first-team All-SEC selection. Smith tutored a Bulldog defense that had 30 takeaways, which led the SEC and was 12th nationally. Darius Slay, a second-team All-SEC pick, tied

48

for the league lead in interceptions with five, while Banks had four. In 2009, Smith guided a young group that led the SEC with 17 interceptions. Led by thenfreshman Corey Broomfield’s six picks, the corners improved as the season progressed. For his efforts, Broomfield was named Freshman All-SEC. In 2011, Smith continued to tutor Broomfield and Banks, who developed into an All-SEC performer and was named a semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award. Smith returned to Mississippi State in 2006 after spending time at both Alabama and Texas A&M. In just his second season back at MSU, Smith helped the Bulldogs’ pass defense rank fourth in the SEC, allowing just 182.2 yards per game, sixth in pass efficiency defense (114.8). The Bulldogs improved their interception total from 12 to 15. The 32-year coaching veteran came back to Mississippi State following three seasons at Texas A&M, where he coached the safeties. During his tenure in College Station, Smith helped the Aggies to a 7-4 regular season record in 2004 and a berth in the 2005 Cotton Bowl. Smith coached the safeties at Alabama in 2002, where the Crimson Tide team posted a 10-3 regular season record. He was an assistant football coach at Mississippi State for seven years (1995-2001), helping guide the Bulldogs through the greatest period in the school’s football history. In 2000, three of his four defensive backfield starters signed professional football contracts. That secondary intercepted 19 passes, the second-most in school history. Smith has also coached on the collegiate level in Mississippi at Ole Miss (1992-94) and Delta State (1990-91). He began his coaching career on the high school level at Greenwood (Miss.) from 1982-89. By the time he became an assistant at Delta State in 1990, he joined the Army Reserves for a stint that would eventually last eight years. Smith is married to the former Shelia McLemore and they are the parents of four children, sons Robert and Ricky, and daughters, Deondra and Ashlee.

Charlie Harbison, who spent the previous two seasons on the football staff at Auburn and has a 20-year coaching career in the SEC and ACC, begins his first season as co-defensive coordinator and outside linebackers coach for the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns. Harbison, a highly regarded recruiter who helped the Tigers to a 2013 SEC Championship and a BCS Championship berth, spent the previous two seasons as co-defensive coordinator at Auburn, where he worked daily with the AU safeties and served on the same defensive staff as current Ragin’ Cajuns defensive coordinator Melvin Smith and defensive analyst Levorn Harbin.

In 2013, Auburn had the second biggest turnaround in college football history in NCAA records at +8.0 games. Named one of nation’s top-25 recruiters by Rivals in 2010, Harbison helped Clemson to backto-back 10-win seasons, including the 2011 ACC Championship, the program’s first in 20 years, and an Orange Bowl appearance. Harbison coached cornerback Coty Sensabaugh, who had 14 passes defended in 2011 and was drafted by the Tennessee Titans. Harbison helped Clemson to a top-25 ranking and the ACC Atlantic Division title in 2009. Clemson had 21 interceptions, fifth-most in Tiger history and tied for fifth-most in the nation. Clemson was seventh in the nation in passing defense. Prior to his tenure at Clemson, Harbison spent two seasons at Mississippi State (2007-08). After just one season, he was elevated to defensive coordinator, while also coaching safeties. He had a pair of coaching stints at Alabama from 1998-2000 and 2003-06. He coached the Crimson Tide wide receivers during his second stint, helping Alabama to a 26-24 overall record, includ-

49

ing three bowl berths. Harbison coached defensive backs in his initial stay from 1998-2000. He helped Alabama to the 1999 Southeastern Conference title and appearances in the 1998 Music City and 2000 Orange Bowls. Two of his pupils, Fernando Bryant (1999) and Tony Dixon (2001) were taken in the first and second rounds of the NFL Draft. Between the Alabama assignments, Harbison coached the defensive backfield at LSU in 2001 and ‘02. He was a member of the Tiger coaching staff that won the 2001 SEC title, finished 18-8 overall and played in the 2002 Sugar and 2003 Cotton Bowls. Corey Webster, who played under Harbison his first two years in Baton Rouge, finished his career second on the school’s all-time pass interception list. Harbison served as the defensive backs coach at Clemson from 1995-97. The Tigers posted a 22-14 mark during those three years, ending those seasons in the Gator and back-to-back Peach Bowls. One of his pupils was nine-time Pro Bowl selection Brian Dawkins. He was an All-American and led the ACC in interceptions in Harbison’s first year at Clemson (1995). Harbison also coached the secondary at UTEP (1994) and served twice at his alma mater, GardnerWebb, coaching wide receivers (1992-93) and defensive backs (1984-85).

A 28-year collegiate coaching veteran, Mitch Rodrigue begins his fifth season as the run game coordinator and offensive line coach at Louisiana. A native of Thibodaux, La., Rodrigue joined the Cajuns staff after working at South Alabama for three seasons (2008-10). In his tenure in Lafayette, Rodrigue has developed an offensive line that ranks among the most efficient groups in the country. For the third consecutive year in 2014, all five regulars started all 13 games together, helping Louisiana rank 26th nationally in rushing (204.5 yards per game), and 56th in total offense (416.8). Highlighting the steadiness of the offensive line, brothers Daniel and Mykhael Quave were named to the preseason watch list for Lombardi Award – the only set of brothers named to a national watch list. Daniel Quave, a 2014 All-Sun Belt Conference performer at right guard, concluded his career after starting in all 52 games of his career, one shy of the all-time NCAA career record. Rodrigue’s offensive line unit in 2012 saw a 55-percent increase in rushing from the previous season and after inheriting a line that allowed 39 sacks in 2010, Rodrigue molded a unit that gave up 13 in 2012 to rank 13th in the country. In his career, Rodrigue has worked with schools that have earned a combined 13 bowl invitations. Five of his players have gone on to the National Football League, including Chris Clark (Denver), Jeremy Parquet (Pittsburgh), Ryan McKee (Kansas City), Chris White (Seattle) and Daniel Quave (Dallas). Clark, currently a starter with the Broncos, played in Super Bowl XLVIII while Parquet earned a Super Bowl ring with the Steelers in Super Bowl XLIII. Before returning to his home state, Rodrigue was part of South Alabama’s first foray into football. In the program’s inaugural season in 2009, two of Rodrigue’s tight ends played a vital role in helping the Jag offense average 439 yards and nearly 46 points per contest. Prior to his arrival at South Alabama, Rodrigue

50

spent nine seasons at Southern Miss, where he coached the offensive line (2003-07), tight ends (2000-02) and running backs (1999). During his tenure, he was a valuable member of the staff, not only on the field, but also as a recruiter, as he was named one of Rivals.com Top 10 recruiters from a non-BCS conference in 2006. In 2005, Rodrigue guided the offensive line to another strong season, as the offense finished with 4,288 yards of total offense, the sixth-best performance in school history. The offensive line, led by all-Conference USA performers George Batiste and Travis Cooley, only allowed nine sacks that season, ranking 12th in the nation, and did not allow a sack in six games on the year. During his first season leading the USM offensive line (2003), Rodrigue helped the Golden Eagles win their fourth Conference USA title and earn an invitation to the Liberty Bowl despite working with a unit that had lost three starters to the NFL from the previous year. Before taking over as the offensive line coach in 2003, Rodrigue coached the running backs in 1999 and the tight ends from 2000-02. He also assisted with the offensive line during his initial stint at Southern Miss, serving as the program’s graduate assistant in 1989 and 1990 under former head coach Curley Hallman. Rodrigue coached several seasons at Nicholls State (1993-98), serving as tight ends and offensive line coach as well as offensive coordinator during his time at his alma mater. Prior to his coaching stint at Nicholls State, Rodrigue worked for two seasons as an assistant coach at Pearl River (Miss.) Community College (1991-92). Rodrigue played at Nicholls State and helped the Colonels reach the second round of the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs in 1986, as well as win the 1984 Gulf Star Conference title. Rodrigue is married to the former Sherri Marcet, and is the father of three children, Maci, Madden, and Mallori.

Jorge Munoz begins his eighth year as an assistant coach at Louisiana and the fifth as receivers coach/pass game coordinator on the staff of Mark Hudspeth. Munoz’ work with the Cajuns wide receivers in his tenure has been exemplary. Despite not having the team’s top receiver - Jamal Robinson - in the lineup for much of the season due to injury, four players stepped up and caught 30 or more passes each. Running back Elijah McGuire (45 receptions) was the team’s top receiver on the season with James Butler (38), Al Riles (34) and Gabe Fuselier (30) contributing to the Ragin’ Cajuns offense. In 2013, Robinson earned second-team AllSun Belt Conference honors after finishing seventh in the league in receptions (54), fifth in receiving yards per game (66.3) while his eight TD receptions were tied for fifth-most in a single season in school history. Javone Lawson (134 catches, 2,107 yards, 15 TDs) and Harry Peoples (122-1,514-6) concluded their careers in 2012 as only the third set of receivers in school history to each have 100 receptions in a career. In 2011, Munoz played an integral role in the Cajuns throwing for over 3,500 yards. Lawson (63 catches, 1,092 yards) posted one of the top seasons by a Louisiana receiver while Peoples and Darryl Surgent also emerged as steady targets for Blaine Gautier. As passing game coordinator in 2008, the Cajuns’ “Play Station” attack shattered the school records for total offense (5,390 yards) and touchdowns (54). He helped Michael Desormeaux record the second-most yards of total offense in school history and as a result, Desormeaux was named the 2008 Sun Belt Conference Offensive Player of the Year.

2015 LOUISIANA RAGIN’ CAJUNS FOOTBALL

2014 Season In Review

Cajuns overcome slow start, early turnovers to post fourth consecutive 9-4 season

T

CAJUNS OPEN SEASON WITH CONVINCING WIN With new improvements to Cajun Field that saw the addition of nearly 6,000 new seats, Louisiana opened its 2014 season on Aug. 30 with a convincing 45-6 victory over in-state opponent Southern University before 36,170 – the third-largest crowd in Cajun Field history. Louisiana totaled 512 yards of offense while holding the Jaguars to 279. Senior quarterback Broadway went 20-for-32 through the air for 237 yards and accounted for four touchdowns, one rushing. Senior wide receiver Jamal Robinson led Louisiana with 112 receiving yards on five catches and two touchdowns while sophomore running back McGuire recorded 129 yards on 13 carries and one touchdown. Defensively, senior linebacker Trae Johnson led the Cajuns with eight tackles, seven being solo, while senior linebacker Boris Anyama and sophomore linebacker Kevin Fouquier posted five solo tackles apiece. In the first quarter, the Cajuns struck first with 6:12 to go in the period after a 31-yard field goal from senior kicker Hunter Stover gave Louisiana a 3-0. The Cajuns reached the end zone for the first time on their next possession as McGuire capped off a six-play, 80-yard drive with an eight-yard touchdown run. The Louisiana defense continued to cause the Jaguars problems, forcing back-to-back three-and-outs before the Cajuns extended their lead. Broadway recorded his first touchdown of the evening with 12:11 left in the half as he found Robinson for a 32-yard touchdown to make it 17-0. Louisiana stretched it to 24-0 midway through the second period as sophomore wide receiver Jared Johnson caught a 13-yard touchdown pass from Broadway with 7:35 remaining in the half. One play that highlighted the second quarter for Louisiana was senior

he Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns football team took the program to new heights in 2014 posting its fourth straight nine-win season and bowl victory. Louisiana entered the season as the unanimous favorite in the Sun Belt Conference. And with a roster that returned 17 starters and 61 letterwinners, the Ragin’ Cajuns were primed to establish themselves as one of the top schools in the “Group of 5.” A pair of key injuries early in the season and a series of turnovers led to a slow start in non-conference play that saw Louisiana open with a 1-3 record heading into its Sun Belt Conference opener. But the Ragin’ Cajuns stayed the course, corrected their mistakes and finished the season on a strong note winning eight of their last nine contests including a seven-game win streak. The record books also saw some changes during the year as Terrance Broadway became the school’s all-time leader in total offense, while senior running back Alonzo Harris cemented his legacy as one of the top backs in program history. Sophomore running back Elijah McGuire also made his mark becoming the fourth player – and second running back – in school history to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season while defensive tackle Christian Ringo etched his name on the school’s all-time record for sacks and tackles for loss. Since the arrival of head coach Mark Hudspeth, Louisiana has been a consistent winner on the gridiron, posting a 36-16 record while contending for the Sun Belt Conference title each season. And with the Ragin’ Cajuns success on the field since Hudspeth’s arrival in 2011, Louisiana joins Michigan State, Oregon, South Carolina and Texas A&M as the only schools in the country to win a bowl game in the last four years and ranks fifth among the “Group of 5” in wins during that stretch.

INTRO | 2015 CAJUNS | COACHES | REVIEW | RECORDS | HISTORY | ADMINISTRATION | MEDIA punter Daniel Cadona’s 77-yard boot – the third-longest punt among NCAA punters in 2014. A RUGGED SEPTEMBER With the impressive win to open the season, the Ragin’ Cajuns opened the month of September facing in-state opponent Louisiana Tech for the first time in a decade. The early September matchup was part of a stern test for the Ragin’ Cajuns, who would also face nationally-ranked Ole Miss and Boise State during the month Against Louisiana Tech, the Ragin’ Cajuns amassed 415 yards of total offense, but turned the ball over three times while the defense allowed over 500 yards in a 48-20 setback. Louisiana erased a 7-0 deficit early in the second quarter as it answered the Bulldogs’ score on the previous drive. Broadway moved the Cajuns into Bulldog territory following a 33-yard run to the Louisiana Tech 15 late in the first period. Alonzo Harris then carried the Cajuns the rest of the way with a 6-yard scamper up the middle on the first play of the second quarter to knot the game at 7-7. After the Cajuns were halted on a fourth-and-1 attempt from the Bulldog 39, Louisiana Tech put together a nine-play, 61-yard drive to go up 14-7 with 4:33 to play in the half. The Bulldogs added a field goal late in the first half to take a 17-7 lead at intermission before scoring 24 unanswered points in the second to take a 41-7 lead. The Ragin’ Cajuns then went on the road for the first time in 2014 facing a high-octane Ole Miss team that would climb as high as No. 3 in the nation. Louisiana recorded 322 of total offense, including 193 yards on the ground, but four turnovers, including one inside the Ole Miss 10-yard line, were too much to overcome in a 56-15 loss. Broadway, who became the fourth player in school history to record 7,000 yards of total offense in his career, completed 15 of 30 passes for 129 yards for the Cajuns while adding 59 yards on the ground in 10 carries. McGuire gained 66 yards on 10 carries to lead Louisiana while Harris added 62 yards on 15 carries and a touchdown. The following week, Louisiana played its final tuneup of nonconference play, traveling to compete on the “blue turf” against Boise State. With one of the best home records since 2000, the Broncos opened up a 21-3 lead at halftime and claimed a 34-9 win over the Ragin’ Cajuns. McGuire, who caught a career-high 10 passes for 106 yards for

Louisiana, scored on a 7-yard run for the Ragin’ Cajuns. The Cajuns got on the board in the first quarter after a botched snap on an attempted field goal resulted on a 14-yard pass from Stover to Evan Tatford on fourth-and-14 to the BSU 7. Boise State held after the Tatford’s reception with Stover converting on a 22-yard boot with 2:01 remaining in the first quarter. Playing without leading tackler Johnson, Trevence Patt led Louisiana with a career-high 14 tackles with Dominique Tovell, Fouquier and Corey Trim adding eight stops each. Tovell, Marquis White and Ringo each recorded sacks for the Ragin’ Cajuns. RILES WITH A FLAIR FOR THE DRAMATIC Back at Cajun Field for the first time in nearly a month, the Ragin’ Cajuns opened Sun Belt Conference play as they faced Georgia State. Just like a close game in the previous meeting between the two teams, Louisiana needed a key drive late to claim a 34-31 victory. Broadway completed 20 of 26 passes for 216 yards and two touchdowns while Robinson caught eight passes for 119 yards and two scores as the Ragin’ Cajuns totaled 461 yards of offense. In a game that saw seven lead changes, it was Broadway’s 21-yard strike to Robinson with 3:34 remaining that would give the Ragin’ Cajuns the lead for good. Backup quarterback Brooks Haack started the drive for the Ragin’ Cajuns and found Larry Pettis for an 18-yard gain on third-and-2 to the GSU 49. Three plays later on third-and-4 at the GSU 43, Haack bought time in the pocket before scrambling right and lofting a 22-yard pass to Al Riles before the Ragin’ Cajuns scored on the following play. The reception by Riles, a converted defensive back, marked the second “season-changing” play made by the Mandeville, La., native in as many seasons. His 99-yard interception return for a touchdown in a 2013 game at Western Kentucky turned what could have been a 17-0 deficit into an eventual 37-20 victory. CAJUNS SHINE UNDER THE BRIGHT LIGHTS With a league-opening win under its belt, Louisiana would play two straight games before a national audience, beginning with a Tuesday contest at Texas State. The ESPN2 broadcast was the first of two straight for the Ragin’ Cajuns, who had won their previous three games on the network. The results from the first game? Flawless. Broadway completed 14 of 21 passes for 225 yards and a touchdown, added 113 yards on the ground and led Louisiana to a dominating 34-10 victory. Harris rushed for 79 yards and a touchdown for Louisiana while McGuire rushed for 64 yards, added 85 on four receptions and scored a pair of TDs. And while the offense was about to miss an important cog – Robinson – for the remainder of the season, the Louisiana defense made its presence known in a big way. After recording one takeaway in its first five games and ranking at the bottom among FBS schools, the Ragin’ Cajuns held Texas State to 270 yards of total offense while forcing a pair of turnovers. The key turnover for Louisiana was a 41-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown by Ringo that turned a 7-3 lead into an eventual 21-3 lead at halftime. Broadway, who posted his fourth career 100-yard rushing game on the ground, carried a career-best 19 times as Louisiana recorded season-highs in total offense (528) and rushing offense (288). Louisiana took the opening kickoff and needed two plays to reach the end zone for a quick 7-0 lead. After an 8-yard run on the opening play by Harris to the UL 38, Broadway found a wide-open McGuire for a 62-yard touchdown pass with 14:16 remaining to cap a 70-yard drive. The following week saw another nationally televised contest for the Ragin’ Cajuns as they hosted league rival Arkansas State. The previous meeting between the teams was more of a defensive struggle as Louisiana claimed a 23-7 win in Jonesboro. RaginCajuns.com


2015 LOUISIANA RAGIN’ CAJUNS FOOTBALL The 2014 contest would quickly turn into a track meet in the first half before the Ragin’ Cajuns used some additional fireworks in the fourth quarter in a 55-40 slugfest. The night belonged to the tandem of McGuire and Harris, who combined for 372 of the Ragin’ Cajuns 419 yards on the ground with four touchdowns apiece. McGuire rushed for a career-high 265 with Harris adding 107 yards as Louisiana piled up 521 yards of total offense. Trim led the Ragin’ Cajuns defense with seven tackles, six solo, two tackles for loss and one interception. Louisiana staged a 13-9 lead after the first quarter and led, 34-23, at halftime as the duo rushed for a combined five scores. Harris scored on runs of 4, 22 and 1 yards in the opening half with McGuire scoring on second-quarter runs of 74 and 13 yards. After A-State closed to within 41-32 in the fourth quarter, McGuire added a 43-yard scoring run before countering another Red Wolves score with 54-yard TD sprint in the final minute.

Three minutes later, the Cajuns recorded their first touchdown of the game behind the legs of McGuire, who rushed for 116 yards. Broadway threw a 31-yard pass to McGuire before answering with a 40-yard completion to James Butler to set up McGuire’s go-ahead score. The winning streak continued for Louisiana in its next road contest at New Mexico State. McGuire rushed for 136 yards with a pair of touchdowns, Broadway completed 12 of 23 passes for 158 yards and three touchdowns and the Ragin’ Cajuns scored 28 unanswered points in an eventual 44-16 victory. Jared Johnson caught TD passes of 5 and 9 yards and Tracy Walker picked off a pair of passes as Louisiana became bowl eligible for the fourth consecutive year and opened 5-0 in league play for the second straight season. Louisiana gained 402 yards of total offense, including 244 on the ground. Butler caught five passes for 95 yards for Louisiana with Jevante Watson adding an interception. The Ragin’ Cajuns defense forced four turnovers against the high-powered NM State offense while allowing 307 yards of total offense. One week later against ULM, Broadway tossed for a pair of touchdowns and ran for another, Harris rushed for 133 yards and the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns defense recorded seven sacks, forced three turnovers and set a single-game school-record for rushing defense as it held off ULM, 34-27. Ringo moved closer to becoming the school’s all-time sack leader for Louisiana as he registered 2.5 sacks to increase his season total to 10.5 and career total to 20.5. Hudspeth earned his 100th career victory at the NCAA level as Louisiana built a 17-7 lead in the first quarter before scoring a pair of touchdowns to withstand a ULM rally. Harris, who entered the game needing 19 yards to join Tyrell Fenroy and Brian Mitchell as the only players in school history to rush for over 3,000 yards, needed one carry to eclipse the mark when his 54-yard run on the game’s third play from scrimmage put the ball at the ULM 5. The drive would stall and Stover would boot a 22-yard field goal to cap a seven-play, 70-yard drive to give the Ragin’ Cajuns a 3-0 lead. Louisiana outgained ULM, 456-444, in total offense and gained 282 yards on the ground. The Ragin’ Cajuns limited the Warhawks to minus-39 yards rushing – the fewest since allowing eight yards to UNLV in 1993. Trim and Patt recorded nine tackles each to lead Louisiana while Ringo added eight stops, including 5.5 stops for loss. The senior increased his season total in sacks to 10.5 (one-half shy of the singleseason record set by Jeff Mitchell and Conrad Lewis) while increasing his career total to 20 (one shy of tying Mitchell). The Ragin’ Cajuns six-game winning streak would end one week later at Cajun Field in a 35-16 loss to Appalachian State. The Mountaineers totaled 427 yards of offense and score twice in the final 5:35 to pull away from a 21-16 lead. Broadway finished with 162 yards of total offense to increase his career total to 8,966 yards and eclipsing former quarterback Jake Delhomme’s record of 8,876 set from 1993-96. McGuire led all Cajuns receivers with 35 yards on five catches while adding 36 rushing yards and one touchdown on nine carries. Harris paced the Louisiana running game with 60 yards on 13 attempts. But the Ragin’ Cajuns closed out the regular-season with a convincing 42-23 victory at Troy to post their best league record – 7-1 – since joining the football league as a charter member in 2001. McGuire rushed for 169 yards and became the fourth player in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season and Ragin’ Cajuns got a strong defensive effort in the second half to erase a halftime deficit. Harris added 86 yards and three touchdowns while Broadway completed 14 of 19 passes for 142 yards.

In his first full season as the Ragin’ Cajuns primary kicker, Hunter Stover (45) posted the fifth-best single-season total in scoring and finished fourth in the Sun Belt Conference with 97 points.

CAJUNS HIT THE HOME STRETCH After reversing course from a winless September, Louisiana opened the final month of the season looking to build off a perfect October and continue its drive for another Sun Belt Conference title. Louisiana, which would play five games in the final month of the season, faced South Alabama in the annual Homecoming game. Stover connected on field goals of 23, 26, 22 and 32 yards while McGuire added an 8-yard touchdown run with 5:01 remaining to carry Louisiana to its fourth-straight victory in a 19-9 decision. Tied at 9-9 in the third quarter, Louisiana began the fourth quarter with the ball on its own 20. McGuire started off the Cajuns’ drive with a 33-yard gain followed by a 14-yard run to carry the Cajuns to the USA 33. After a 13-yard rush by Broadway, the Cajuns were unable to find the end zone once again, looking to Stover to give Louisiana the lead. Stover converted the 32-yard attempt to put the Cajuns ahead, 12-9, with 11:28 to play. The Jaguars didn’t take long to move the ball down the field with backup Matt Floyd finding Bowman for 26 yards to reach midfield. USA followed with a 41-yard pass from Floyd to Marvin Shinn to reach the Cajuns 4-yard line. However, three plays later Ringo came up with a Jaguars’ fumble to give the ball back to Louisiana with eight minutes to play. 2015 Media Guide

a school bowl record, last set by Brett Baer against East Carolina in the 2012 game. Wolfpack quarterback Cody Fajardo, who entered the game averaging 281 yards of total offense per game, was held to 173 total yards. The Cajuns offense outgained Nevada 411-213. Nevada’s best opportunity came on their third drive of the game. After a 59-yard punt by Daniel Cadona, the Wolfpack moved 69 yards in 11 plays, but the Cajuns defense made one of the game’s key defensive plays. After a completion down to the Cajuns 11-yard line, Sean Thomas forced a fumble that was recovered by Dominique Tovell. The fumble recovery was the first of Tovell’s career. The only blemish on the Cajuns defense was a 21-yard field goal by Brent Zuzo. After a short punt, Nevada took over at the UL 26-yard line. The Cajuns kept the Wolfpack out of the end zone, surrendering only 23 yards. UL limited Nevada to 81 yards in the second half and put an exclamation point on the win with back-to-back sacks on the final two plays. Christian Ringo was credited with one of the sacks, helping him set a Cajuns new single season record (11.5), as well as tying for the career record (21) with Jeff Mitchell (‘92-95). Darzil Washington registered two of the squad’s four sacks. Corey Trim led the Cajuns with eight total tackles.

With the victory, Louisiana became the first school in college football bowl history to win the same bowl game in four straight

After Troy built a 23-21 lead at halftime behind an offensive performance that produced 342 yards, the Ragin’ Cajuns stuffed the Trojans in the final 30 minutes as Louisiana yielded 52 yards and finished with a 486-394 advantage. Louisiana, which controlled the football for 11:45 in the third quarter and nearly 22 minutes in the second half, opened the half with a 10-play, 74-yard drive to take a 28-23 lead it would not relinquish. McGuire, who scored twice and joined Brian Mitchell, Michael Desormeaux and Tyrell Fenroy as 1,000-yard rushers in school history, opened the drive with a 13-yard gain before Broadway rushed for eight yards and connected with Gabe Fuselier on a 6-yard gain to the Troy 47.

The Cajuns took the game’s opening possession 77 yards in eight plays. Terrance Broadway connected on a 17-yard touchdown pass to C.J. Bates on third-and-nine. Little did anyone know at the time, that’s all the offense the Cajuns would need. Broadway was 3-for-3 on the drive and went on to complete 14 consecutive passes to start the game. No player in collegiate football bowl history had ever completed 14 straight passes to begin a bowl game. Overall, Broadway’s feat ranks third behind Georgia’s Mike Bobo (19 vs. Wisconsin, 1998 Outback) and NC State’s Phillip Rivers (16 vs. Kansas, 2003 Tangerine). Hunter Stover put the Cajuns up 10-0 late in the first quarter with a 46-yard field goal – the longest of his collegiate career. Stover tacked on a 30-yard and 35-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. His three field goals tie a New Orleans Bowl record, as well as 2015 Media Guide

Louisiana 55, Arkansas State 40 LAFAYETTE – Sophomore Elijah McGuire rushed for a career-high 265 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns to a thrilling 55-40 victory over Arkansas State in a nationally-televised game at Cajun Field. The Cajuns (4-3, 3-0 SBC), who rushed for 419 yards, totaled 521 total yards of offense on the night, while Arkansas State put up 595 yards. McGuire’s 265 yards on the ground was the third-most by a Cajun in school history. The Cajuns evened the contest at 6-all on their second drive of the game with a four-yard touchdown run by Alonzo Harris that completed a nine-play, 81-yard drive over 3:37. Trailing 9-6, back-to-back touchdowns propelled the Cajuns into a 20-9 lead by 14:16 of the second quarter. After forcing a Red Wolves punt, a 74-yard touchdown run by McGuire gave the Cajuns a 27-9 advantage with just over 11 minutes to go in the opening half. After the Cajuns defense stopped ASU on downs, McGuire scored again. His 13-yard touchdown run at 8:49 upped the advantage to 34-9. The Red Wolves answered quick to avoid a blowout, and it took just four plays. Michael Gordon had a 70-yard touchdown run on the third play of the ensuing drive. After a defensive stop, an 87-yard touchdown pass from Knighten to Dijon Paschal came on the first snap and trimmed the Cajuns lead to 34-23 at halftime. ASU pulled within single digits late in the fourth quarter after Knighten found Paschal in the end zone to make it a 41-32 contest with 5:32 to play. The Cajuns prevented a momentum shift, though, as McGuire punched in his third touchdown of the night on a 43-yard run for a 48-32 lead with 3:30 remaining. Arkansas State Louisiana

On the ground, McGuire led the Cajuns (5-3, 4-0 SBC) with 116 yards and one touchdown on 18 carries. The Cajuns’ running game carried Louisiana down the field on their first possession of the game before a Broadway pass to Devin Scott for 45 yards to the USA 10 put the Cajuns in the red zone. However, the drive would stall, forcing a 23-yard field goal by Hunter Stover to put the Cajuns up 3-0 with 9:19 to play in the first quarter. USA evened the game at the beginning of the second quarter with a 20-yard field goal by Aleem Sunanon. The Jaguars grabbed a 9-3 lead midway through the second quarter on a 12-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Bridge to Jereme Jones at 8:15.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – Elijah McGuire rushed for 136 yards and scored a pair of touchdowns while Terrance Broadway completed 12-of-23 passes for 158 yards and three touchdowns as the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns scored 28 unanswered points and cruised to a 44-16 win over New Mexico State at Aggie Memorial Stadium.

MONROE, La. – Terrance Broadway tossed a pair of touchdowns and rushed for another, Alonzo Harris rushed for 133 yards and the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns defense recorded seven sacks, forced three turnovers and set a single-game school record for rushing defense as it held off ULM, 34-27, in a Sun Belt Conference game at JPS Field at Malone Stadium Head coach Mark Hudspeth earned his 100th career victory at the NCAA level as Louisiana (7-3, 6-0 Sun Belt) built a 17-7 lead in the first quarter before scoring a pair of touchdowns to withstand a rally by ULM (3-7, 2-4 Sun Belt). Harris, who entered the game needing 19 yards to join Tyrell Fenroy and Brian Mitchell as the only players in school history to rush for over 3,000 yards, needed one carry to eclipse the mark when his 54-yard run on the game’s third play from scrimmage put the ball at the ULM 5. The drive would stall and Hunter Stover would boot a 22-yard field goal to cap a seven-play, 70-yard drive to give the Ragin’ Cajuns a 3-0 lead. The Cajuns would score again on their next possession after ULM failed to convert a fourth-and-7 play at the UL 39. McGuire scored on a 1-yard plunge that capped a five-play, 61-yard drive for a 10-0 lead at 7:03 of the first quarter. After a Pete Thomas five-yard scoring pass to Kenzee Jackson cut the lead to 10-7 at the 2:24 mark, Louisiana drove 65 yards in four plays to push its lead to 17-7 before the opening quarter expired. The Cajuns added a 38-yard field goal from Stover with 6:51 remaining in the second quarter for a 20-10 lead before ULM’s Justin Manton kicked a 47-yard field goal at the buzzer to cut the lead to 20-13. After a scoreless third quarter, Broadway (12-yard run) and Thomas (two-yard run) swapped scores and it was 27-20 in favor of the Cajuns with 6:46 left in the fourth quarter. Louisiana took a two-score lead when Broadway flipped a shovel pass to Gabe Fuselier who tip-toed down the right sideline with 2:53 remaining for a 34-20 advantage.

LAFAYETTE – Appalachian State totaled 427 yards of offense and put together a 14-point fourth quarter to pull away for a 35-16 victory at Cajun Field, snapping the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns football team’s six-game win streak. Holding a 21-16 lead heading into the fourth quarter, touchdown runs by Marcus Cox and Terrence Upshaw in the final six minutes of the game sealed the win for App State. The Mountaineers (6-5, 5-2 SBC) ran for 243 yards, led by 151 yards from Cox. Taylor Lamb went 11-of-22 for 195 yards and one interception. For Louisiana (7-4, 6-1 SBC), Terrance Broadway went 11-of-22 for 160 yards. The Cajuns were held to 259 yards of offense, their lowest total yardage since recording 241 in a 34-9 loss to Boise State back on Sept. 20. In the first quarter, Hunter Stover gave the Cajuns a 3-0 lead after connecting on a 38-yard field goal at 7:05. T.J. Worthy set up the score after picking off Lamb to give Louisiana the ball at the Mountaineers 21-yard line. App State answered with two touchdowns later in the quarter. Cox capped off an 11-play, 82-yard drive with an eight-yard run to make it a 7-3 game with 1:45 remaining. The Mountaineers added to their lead a little over a minute later as Bobo Beathard returned a Daniel Cadona punt 33 yards for a 14-3 advantage at the end of the first quarter. The Cajuns cut into their deficit on their second drive of the second quarter as McGuire found the end zone from eight yards out to make it a 14-10 game with 7:46 remaining in the half. A Stover 26-yard field goal ended the half and the Mountaineers took a 14-13 lead into the break. In the third quarter, Lamb found Montez McGuire for a 40-yard touchdown pass to extend the App State lead to 21-13 at the 5:39 mark. Stover recorded his third field goal of the day late in the quarter, connecting on a 33-yarder with 20 secons remaining to trim the deficit to 21-16 heading to the final stanza. A two-yard touchdown run by Cox with 5:35 to play in the game opened a 28-16 lead. After stopping the Cajuns on downs, a 36-yard touchdown run by Upshaw at 2:26 put the game out of reach.

TROY, Ala. – Elijah McGuire rushed for 169 yards and became the fourth player in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season and the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns got a strong defensive effort in the second half to erase a halftime deficit and earn a 42-23 win over Troy in the Sun Belt Conference regular season finale at Veterans Memorial Stadium. Alonzo Harris added 86 yards rushing and three touchdowns. Terrance Broadway completed 14-of-19 passes for 142 yards and rushed for 78 yards on 14 carries.

Troy (3-9, 3-5 Sun Belt) played its final game under legendary coach Larry Blakeney. After Troy built a 23-21 lead at halftime behind an offensive performance that produced 342 yards, the Ragin’ Cajuns stuffed the Trojans in the final 30 minutes as Louisiana yielded 52 yards and finished with a 486-394 advantage. Louisiana, which controlled the football for 11:45 in the third quarter and nearly 22 minutes in the second half, opened the half with a 10-play, 74-yard drive to take a 28-23 lead it would not relinquish. Broadway hit C.J. Bates for a 26-yard gain to the Troy 18 and Harris scored four plays later on a 1-yard scoring plunge to drive that took 5:00 off the clock. After the Ragin’ Cajuns forced a punt on Troy’s first drive of the second half, Louisiana drove 87 yards in 12 plays that took 6:25 off the clock. Broadway capped off the drive when he faked a handoff to Harris and rushed around the left side for a nine-yard score that gave Louisiana a 35-23 lead with 0:33 remaining in the third quarter Harris added his third touchdown of the game for Louisiana when he scored on 1-yard run with 3:48 remaining that capped an 11-play, 65-yard drive.

December 20, 2014 ­— New Orleans, La.

NEW ORLEANS – The old adage, ‘Defense Wins Championships’ was on display in the 14th annual R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome as the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns held Nevada in check all game, dominating defensively in a 16-3 win that marked the fourth straight season as New Orleans Bowl champions. The three points allowed set a school bowl record, as well as the New Orleans Bowlrecord. Nevada’s high-flying offense had not been held without a touchdown since a 35-0 loss at Notre Dame on Sept. 5, 2009. Terrance Broadway finished 26-of-31 passing for 227 yards and was named MVP, becoming the first two-time MVP in New Orleans Bowl history. He completed his first 14 passes setting the record for the most consecutive completions to start a game in NCAA Division I bowl history. Wolfpack quarterback Cody Fajardo, who entered the game averaging 281 yards of total offense per game, was held to 173 yards. The Cajuns outgained Nevada 411-213. Louisiana (9-4) became the first school in college football bowl history to win the same bowl game in four straight seasons. The Cajuns also reached nine wins for the fourth straight season. The Cajuns scored on the game’s opening possession, driving 77 yards in eight plays. Broadway connected on a 17-yard touchdown pass to C.J. Bates at 11:26 for what proved to be all the offense his team would need. Hunter Stover put the Cajuns up 10-0 late in the first quarter with a 46-yard field – the longest of his collegiate career. Nevada’s best opportunity to reach the end zone came on their first possession of the second quarter. After a 59-yard punt by Daniel Cadona, the Wolfpack (7-6) moved 69 yards in 11 plays, but the Cajuns defense made one of the game’s key defensive plays. After a completion down to the Cajuns 11-yard line, Sean Thomas forced a fumble that was recovered by Dominique Tovell at 8:06 of the second quarter. After a defensive stop and a short punt by Cadona, Nevada took over at the UL 26-yard line. The Cajuns kept the Wolfpack out of the end zone, surrendering only 23 yards. A 21yard field goal by Brent Zuzo trimmed the Louisiana lead to 10-3 at 2:42. Broadway’s first incompletion didn’t come until 44 seconds remained in the first half. The incompletion was followed by a sack from Nevada’s Brock Hekking which took the Cajuns out of field goal range and kept a one-possession game intact at halftime. After a scoreless third quarter, Stover tacked on a 30-yard and 35-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. His final make provided a 16-3 lead with 4:46 remaining in the game. Any chance a late rally by the Wolfpack was halted on the ensuing possession. After a first down at the Nevada 39, Darzil Washington sacked Fajadro for a loss of six yards which led to a failed fourth down conversion at 3:48. Louisiana, which limited Nevada to just 81 yards of offense in the second half, put an exclamation point on the win with back-to-back sacks on the final two plays. Christian Ringo was credited with one of the sacks, helping him set a Cajuns new single season record (11.5), as well as tying for the career record (21) with Jeff Mitchell (‘92-95). Corey Trim led the Cajuns with eight total tackles and contributed a key pass breakup midway through the fourth quarter as Nevada went for it on fourth-and-10 at the Cajuns 35-yard line trailing 13-3. The defensive stop resulted in the Cajuns moving 47 yards over nine plays leading to Stover’s final field goal of the contest.

Did you kneaux? In 2003, UL became the first school in NCAA history to score two TD’s in one season on blocked field goal returns. Britt Jackson’s 30-yard interception return for a TD with 6:30 left in the game helped the Cajuns upset #25 Texas A&M on Sept. 14, 1996 by a final score of 29-22. The defense had four INT’s and recovered four fumbles that day. Thomas King attempted the first defensive extra point return in NCAA history (6 yards on 9/3/88).

2015 LOUISIANA RAGIN’ CAJUNS FOOTBALL 1944 Oil Bowl

1970 Grantland Rice Bowl

Louisiana 24, Arkansas A&M 7

Jan. 1, 1944

Tennessee St. 26, Louisiana 25

Houston, Texas

HOUSTON — What many consider to be “The Best Team in Louisiana History”, Louisiana (then known as Southwestern Louisiana Institute) defeated Arkansas A&M (the present-day University of Arkansas at Monticello) 24-7 to claim the 1944 Oil Bowl Championship. The New Year’s Day rematch was played under the same rainy, muddy and foggy conditions as the earlier meeting between the two teams on Nov. 6 in Memphis, Tenn. That game ended in a 20-20 tie. The Cajuns versatile backs and strong offensive line was no match for the Aggies. “I say that no team, and I put the emphasis on Notre Dame, could have beaten us that day,” said Louisiana-Lafayette head coach Louis Whitman. Louisiana-Lafayette was led by quarterback Alvin Dark, who either scored or set-up each of the Cajuns tallies. The Cajuns struck in the first quarter when Dark returned an Aggies punt 24 yards down to the AAM 21 yard-line. Following an offsides penalty and a first down run by Dark, Dark then split the uprights from 16 yards to give the Cajuns a 3-0 lead. Louisiana-Lafayette upped their lead to 10-0 just two possessions later. Moe Richmond made a sensational leaping catch between two defenders for a 12-yard score from Dark. Arkansas A&M moved down to the Cajuns 19 on the next possession, but came away empty handed. AAM’s quarterback needed just two completions to move the Aggies 51 yards, but then threw three consecutive incompletions to turn the ball back over to LouisianaLafayette. The Aggies scored on their first possession of the second half to cut the Cajuns lead to 10-7. A running into the kicker penalty on the Cajuns helped extend the AAM 64-yard drive that ended in a 27 yard touchdown pass from Gray to Bill Coomer.

Baton Rouge, La.

BATON ROUGE, La. — The Ragin’ Cajuns, appearing in their second bowl in school history, fell victim to turnovers and special teams miscues en route to a 26-25 loss to the Tennessee State University Tigers. Tennessee State scored two touchdowns in 1:28 to take a 14-0 lead after one quarter. Louisiana responded with two touchdowns in the second quarter. Nelson Schexnayder hauled in a seven-yard touchdown pass from George Coussan, but Roy Pendergraft’s extra point was blocked. Robert Gill scored on a four yard run just 3:46 later, but Coussan’s pass to Dickie Haik was broken-up, and the Cajuns trailed 14-12 at the half. A scoreless third quarter led to a frenzy of activity in the fourth stanza. Schexnayder caught his second touchdown of the game on a 17-yard toss from Coussan with 8:57 remaining in the game. Pendergraft’s extra point gave the Cajuns a 19-14 lead. The ensuing kickoff was fumbled by J. Thaxton into the end zone where Mike Courville recovered for a Cajuns touchdown. Pendergraft’s extra point was blocked again, giving Louisiana a 25-14 lead. TSU traveled 55 yards on seven plays in 2:45 culminating in a threeyard touchdown scramble by Joe Gilliam. Albert Davis was cut down on the try for two, keeping the score 25-20 in favor of the Cajuns. Coussan’s seventh interception of the game led to a short touchdown run by Davis with 3:22 remaining in the game. The Cajuns comeback hopes were dashed when Tom Hauser’s pass was intercepted by Donald Pinson, his fifth pick of the game and TSU’s eighth.

New Orleans, La.

NEW ORLEANS, La. ­— Brett Baer’s 50-yard field goal as time expired lifted Louisiana to a 32-30 victory over San Diego State in the 2011 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl in front of a record 42,841 fans at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Trailing 30-29 with 35 seconds remaining, Blaine Gautier capped off a record-setting performance of 470 yards passing by directing Louisiana (9-4) 49 yards for Baer’s game clincher. Starting at the UL 18, Gautier completed back-to-back passes to Javone Lawson that covered 39 yards and moved the Cajuns to the SDSU 43. Gautier found Harry Peoples on the sideline for five yards to the SDSU 38 to move into the 50-yard field goal range, then a five-yard penalty against the Aztecs (8-5) set up Baer’s heroics. The Aztecs used a 10 play, 69 yard drive capped off by a Ryan Lindley touchdown pass to Colin Lockett to take a 30-29 lead. Gautier’s 470 yards passing established an R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl record. He eclipsed the previous record of 387 passing yards set by Troy’s Corey Robinson (vs. Ohio in 2010), giving him 2,958 yards for the year, toppling Jake Delhomme’s record of 2901 yards passing in 1996. Lawson joined Gautier in the history book after posting 193 yards on nine catches to become only the third Cajuns receiver to post 1,000plus yards in a season.

New Orleans, La.

NEW ORLEANS, La. – Terrance Broadway accounted for 424 yards of total offense as Louisiana repeated as R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl champions with a 43-34 victory over East Carolina before a bowl record crowd of 48,828 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Broadway, who completed 21-of-32 passes for 316 yards and a touchdown and had 15 rushes for 108 yards, was named New Orleans Bowl MVP. The Cajuns jumped out to a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter when Broadway and Harry Peoples scored on runs of 12 and 10 yards, respectively. ECU answered with the first of two Reggie Bullock TD runs, a five-yard scamper at the 12:48 mark. Alonzo Harris scored on touchdown runs of six and 68 yards to extend the lead to 28-7 with 7:05 left. A pair of ECU touchdowns just 13 seconds apart closed the gap to 28-21 before Baer closed the half with a 50-yard field goal as time expired. The Pirates ran off 10 straight points to tie the game in the third quarter, the last seven coming on a 13-yard run by Bullock with 5:57 left. The Cajuns answered quickly as Javone Lawson made an acrobatic grab of a 14-yard pass from Broadway with 3:07 left. Baer’s extra-point was blocked as Louisiana led, 37-31.

2015 LOUISIANA RAGIN’ CAJUNS FOOTBALL 2013 R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl

2014 R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl

Louisiana 24, Tulane 21

Dec. 21, 2013

Louisiana 16, Nevada 3

New Orleans, La.

NEW ORLEANS La. – Two years ago, a made last-second field goal gave Louisiana its first bowl victory since 1944. Two years, and a pair of bowl victories later, a missed field goal in the final seconds would give the Cajuns their third straight postseason victory. Hunter Stover kicked a 27-yard field goal – the first of his collegiate career – with 9:56 remaining and the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns earned its third straight bowl victory when Tulane’s Cairo Santos missed a potential tying 48-yard field goal in a 24-21 win over the Green Wave before an R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl-record crowd of 54,728 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The dramatic victory in its postseason home away from home helped Louisiana (9-4) claim its third consecutive nine-win season while becoming the first school in New Orleans Bowl history to win three consecutive games. Stover, who served as the Cajuns primary kickoff specialist before assuming all kicking duties against South Alabama, helped Louisiana stave off a furious comeback by Tulane (7-6) after Sean Thomas picked off his second pass of the game at the Tulane 28. Tulane, playing in its final game after 38 years in the iconic downtown building, had one final chance to send the game to overtime after a Daniel Cadona punt was downed at the Tulane 5 with 1:35 remaining. Devin Powell connected with Justyn Shackleford on a 34-yard pass on third-and-10 to the Tulane 39 before a 27-yard pass to Ryan Grant pushed the ball to the Cajuns 34. Powell, who completed 10 of 21 passes for 223 yards, found Kendrick Banks on a nine-yard catch to the Cajuns 25 before Chris Hill made a key defensive stop for Louisiana with a five-yard sack forcing Tulane to call its final timeout with 13 seconds left.

New Orleans, La.

NEW ORLEANS La. – The old adage, ‘Defense Wins Championships’ was on display in the 14th annual R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome as the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns held Nevada in check all game, dominating defensively in a 16-3 win that marked the fourth straight season as New Orleans Bowl champions. The three points allowed set a school bowl record, as well as the New Orleans Bowl-record. Nevada’s high-flying offense had not been held without a touchdown since a 35-0 loss at Notre Dame on Sept. 5, 2009. Terrance Broadway finished 26-of-31 passing for 227 yards and was named MVP, becoming the first two-time MVP in New Orleans Bowl history. He completed his first 14 passes setting the record for the most consecutive completions to start a game in NCAA Division I bowl history. Wolfpack quarterback Cody Fajardo, who entered the game averaging 281 yards of total offense per game, was held to 173 yards. Louisiana (9-4) became the first school in college football bowl history to win the same bowl game in four straight seasons. The Cajuns scored on the game’s opening possession, driving 77 yards in eight plays. Broadway connected on a 17-yard touchdown pass to C.J. Bates at 11:26 for what proved to be all the offense his team would need. Hunter Stover put the Cajuns up 10-0 late in the first quarter with a 46-yard field – the longest of his collegiate career. After a defensive stop and a short punt by Daniel Cadona, Nevada (7-6) took over at the UL 26-yard line. A 21-yard field goal by Brent Zuzo trimmed the Louisiana lead to 10-3 with 2:42 remaining in the first half. After a scoreless third quarter, Stover tacked on a 30-yard and 35-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. His final make provided a 16-3 lead with 4:46 remaining in the game. Any chance a late rally by the Wolfpack was halted on the ensuing possession. After a first down at the Nevada 39, Darzil Washington sacked Fajadro for a loss of six yards which led to a failed fourth down conversion at 3:48. Nevada Louisiana

2015 LOUISIANA RAGIN’ CAJUNS FOOTBALL Cajun Field has served as the home of Ragin’ Cajuns football since September 1971. Louisiana holds a 132-102-2 all-time record on its home field with winning records in 31 of the 44 seasons. The Cajuns have gone 18-4 at home over the last four years, including a 5-0 mark in 2011 when they set the school single season records for total attendance (145,854) and average attendance (29,171). Included in those totals were five of the top 15 crowds all-time, including a Sun Belt Conference record 32,823 vs. North Texas on Oct. 15, 2011. Louisiana was the Sun Belt attendance champion in 2004, 2008, 2011, 2013 and 2014. Cajun Field hosted the 1,000th Cajuns game in school history on Nov. 1, 2008 before a then-Sun Belt record crowd of 29,031. Louisiana has enjoyed plenty of memorable moments since the venue opened in 1971. The greatest of those moments came during the 1996 season when the Ragin’ Cajuns opened their 26th season in the facility with the biggest upset in school history, a 29-22 victory over No. 25 Texas A&M in front of a then-record crowd of 38,783 fans. That mark surpassed the previous record crowd of 36,133 that saw the Cajuns face the Alabama Crimson Tide on Oct. 6, 1990. Cajun Field has been the site of much success with four consecutive 4-1 records from 1993-96. The school record for wins at Cajun Field in a season is seven, set during the 1976 season, one of four undefeated seasons (1976, 1980, 1987 and 2011) at Cajun Field. Cajun Field boasts 2,577 chairback seats and additional seating to the capacity of another 38,849 giving the facility a total seating capacity of 41,426. In 2014, the south endzone was closed in to create more seating, adding 5,000 seats to the stadium capacity. General admission seating is available on the hill in the north end zone to give fans the opportunity to overflow the stadium. In the summer of 2008, Cajun Field removed its long-standing natural grass and entered a new era with a synthetic playing surface. Cajun Field was built in time for the 1971 football season. The characteristics which helped create the name and traditions have been there since the initial construction. For the first 17 years, Louisiana’s football stadium was simply known as Cajun Field. In the summer of 1988, then-Strength & Conditioning Coach Mickey Faulkinberry suggested referring to Cajun Field as “The Swamp”. The name stuck for various reasons. To start, the field surface is set two feet below sea level in a natural bowl. In addition to providing a picturesque surrounding, the sunken facility allows most fans to walk down to their stadium seats. The Cajuns and their opponents must enter Cajun Field through a long tunnel from the Cox Athletics Center. “The Swamp” nickname also fits in with the geographic makeup of the area, with its many surrounding bayous and wetlands, as well as the close proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, which lies just 30 miles south. In fact, a popular gathering place for Louisiana students and a regular stop for visitors is the small swamp located in the heart of the main campus, which sits adjacent to the Student Union. Ironically, the on-campus swamp, officially named Cypress Lake, lays over the original football field that existed during the early 1900’s, adding to the distinct nickname. The National Wetlands Center, a nationally renown research facility that Louisiana hosts and administers, is located less than a half-mile from Cajun Field.

Dr. Joseph Savoie University President

When Dr. E. Joseph Savoie became the University’s sixth president in 2008, he worked with volunteer transition teams and the campus community to formulate a strategic plan to guide the institution’s growth and development. Some components of that plan that reflect the University’s commitment to students have already taken shape. The University has increased its student housing capacity nearly 40 percent by adding new residence halls and constructing new parking towers. The Student Union was expanded and renovated to meet the United States Green Building Council LEED Certification Rating. The new campus hub opened in January 2015 featuring restaurants, meeting spaces, student-service offices, a collegiate shop and bookstore, and a post office. A large plaza overlooks Cypress Lake. The University unveiled a comprehensive master plan for campus that includes provisions for managing growth, development and change over the next two decades. The plan features additional parking, bikeways and mixed-use development of property. The University continues to focus on providing a quality education and a fulfilling college experience. Savoie and other university administrators support an academic environment that draws energetic and innovative faculty members, promotes community service and encourages mutually beneficial partnerships with state industries and area businesses. Prior to being named president of the University,

2015 Media Guide

Savoie was Louisiana’s Commissioner of Higher Education for 12 years. Under his leadership, higher education governance was restructured, a statewide community and technical college system was created, teacher education programs were redesigned, the state’s first need-based financialaid program was created and a master plan for public postsecondary education was implemented. His affiliations include the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AASCU), the Association of Public and Landgrant Universities (APLU), and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). He serves on the NCAA Division 1 Board of Directors and the NCAA Board of Governors. He previously served on the Board of Trustees SACSCOC. He also serves on several advisory groups that address higher education policy. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from UL Lafayette, and served as the institution’s first vice president for University Advancement. He holds a doctorate in educational leadership and administration from Columbia University’s Teacher’s College in New York. Savoie and his wife, Gail, have a son, Adam; a daughter, Blaire Savoie Saulnier; and are the proud grandparents of Addison Marie Saulnier.

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette

The largest institution within the nine-campus University of Louisiana System The University of Louisiana at Lafayette is no ordinary university. Also known in French as Université des Acadiens (the University of the Acadians), UL is a coeducational, public research university with high research activity located in Lafayette, La. With more than 18,000 students, it is the largest institution within the nine-campus University of Louisiana System and is the secondlargest university in Louisiana. UL awards bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees. Its diverse offerings range from the humanities to scientific research and UL is among the nation’s leaders in areas such as computer science, biology and nursing. The university has earned a reputation for providing its students with a high-quality education at an affordable price. In fact, it’s the most affordable university in Louisiana, according to the U.S. Department of Education’s College Affordability and Transparency List released earlier this year. In addition to leading the state as the university with the lowest average net price to attend, UL is among the top 10 percent of most affordable four-year public universities in the United States. The university stresses community service. During the 2010-2011 academic year, more than 5,000 students, faculty and staff contributed about 500,000 hours of direct community service. Their efforts had an economic impact of more than $9 million to the Lafayette community. A wide range of cultural, recreational and social activities are available, on and off campus. Students can choose from among more than 150 campus organizations and clubs, for example. UL is as unique as its location – the heart of Acadiana, a multi-parish area known for its

path paved with more than 80,000 bricks bearing the names of each of its graduates, beginning with the first graduating class of 1903. Another visual clue that UL is special: LITE, which stands for the Louisiana Immersive Technology Enterprise. LITE is located in University Research Park, a 147-acre site adjacent to the athletic complex. LITE ’s striking design features a threestory, egg-shaped section made of glass. Threedimensional images created by supercomputers are projected inside. LITE’s creation was out of the ordinary, too. It was established for economic development through a partnership formed by UL, the Lafayette Economic Development Authority and the State of Louisiana. Other tenants in University Research Park include the U.S. Geological Survey’s National Wetlands Research Center and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Estuarine Habitats and Coastal Fisheries Center.

distinctive Cajun and Creole cultures, excellent food and music, and exceptional quality of life. The campus reflects the region’s beauty and natural resources. Cypress Lake, a microcosm of the nearby Atchafalaya Basin, is behind the Student Union. Although it’s called a lake, it’s more accurately described as a managed wetland. Teeming with alligators, turtles, birds and fish, it’s filled with Cypress trees draped with moss and a variety of lush vegetation. UL’s campus features many oak trees; several are more than 100 years old. The university’s quadrangle is encircled by the “Walk of Honor,” a

Scott Farmer Director of Athletics

W

ith unparalleled success in the areas of athletics, academics, fundraising and increased exposure on the state and national level, Director of Athletics Scott Farmer is leading the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns athletic program through its finest era in the University’s rich history. Since being named the school’s Director of Athletics in October of 2011, Farmer has guided the Ragin’ Cajuns through a transformation that has touched on all facets of the program. The Ragin’ Cajuns have established themselves as one of the top athletic programs in the country by virtue of numerous NCAA postseason appearances and championships. During the past two years, the Ragin’ Cajuns have been ranked in the top 50 among all schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision in a poll by the National Association of College Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and released by CBSSports.com. In the latest poll released, the Ragin’ Cajuns were rated as the 44th-best athletic program in the country, finishing ahead of 25 schools that compete in the Power 5 conferences. After a record-setting year in 2013-14, in which five sports claimed conference championships, the Ragin’ Cajuns were rated as the 34th-best nationally, finishing as the top non-BCS school in the rankings. During the 2014-15 athletic year, the football team earned a fourth consecutive bowl championship (R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl), while women’s basketball claimed the 2015 Women’s Basketball Invitational title with four dramatic games on its home floor. The Ragin’ Cajuns also claimed Sun Belt Conference championships in both softball (regular-season) and baseball (SBC Tournament) with both programs earning trips to

2015 Media Guide

both the NCAA Regionals and Super Regionals for the second consecutive year - the only school in the nation to accomplish that feat. While 2014-15 was a successful year in the history of Ragin’ Cajuns athletics, the 2013-14 season was one for the ages as the department claimed a combined seven Sun Belt Conference titles and solidified the school’s label as the “Home of Champions.” Football kicked off that historic season as it claimed the Sun Belt Conference regular-season title along with its third straight victory in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. The Ragin’ Cajuns men’s basketball team claimed the Sun Belt Conference Tournament title after earning three hard fought victories in a 38-hour span at New Orleans’ Lakefront Arena, securing a berth in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championships. Men’s tennis spent the season ranked in the national polls before claiming the Sun Belt Conference Tournament championship and earning a berth in the NCAA Regionals. On the diamond, the baseball team claimed both the Sun Belt Conference regular-season and tournament championships, while setting a schoolrecord for wins (58), earning a unanimous No. 1 ranking in the national polls, and hosting both the NCAA Regionals and Super Regionals. And in the circle, the softball team won 49 games, claimed both the Sun Belt Conference regular-season and tournament crowns, hosted both the NCAA Regionals and Super Regionals, and made a sixth appearance in the Women’s College World Series. While the Ragin’ Cajuns have experienced great success under Farmer’s watch on the competition field, it’s in the classroom where the results have been exemplary. Student-athletes have thrived in the class-

room and have been provided the tools needed in obtaining their degrees under Farmer’s leadership. Ragin’ Cajuns student-athletes have consistently set the bar academically, with the entire program enjoying 10 consecutive semesters of earning a combined grade point average of 2.8 or above. After setting cumulative GPA records in each semester during the 2013-14 academic year, Ragin’ Cajuns student-athletes in the Fall 2014 semester produced the highest combined semester GPA in recorded history – a 3.056. With increased success in the classroom, Ragin’ Cajuns student-athletes are on a solid track to graduate as evidenced by the annual Academic Progress Rate (APR). In 2015, all 16 Division I varsity sports exceeded the required 930 cutoff point with 12 sports scoring at 960 or above. And with sustained progress in the APR equals a Federal Graduation Rate for student-athletes that was ranked as the best among all schools in the state of Louisiana and the Sun Belt Conference during the 2013-14 academic year. With a solid understanding and experience in intercollegiate athletics, Farmer has set the course in improving the overall experience for all studentathletes, coaches and fans through improvements in external sources upon his arrival in Lafayette. He played an integral role in establishing the Ragin’ Cajuns Athletic Foundation in 2009. Since its formation, the RCAF continues to grow and works on enhancing the department’s annual operating budget while providing financial support to Louisiana’s 16 varsity programs. In 2014, Annual Fund donations increased 31 percent from the previous year, eclipsing the $2 million mark for the first time in history, finishing with a total of $2.16 million and surpassing the previous record of $1.67 million raised in 2013. Overall, donations to the RCAF surpassed $6.5 million in 2013. Farmer was instrumental in the development of the University’s $115 million Athletic Facilities

INTRO | 2015 CAJUNS | COACHES | REVIEW | RECORDS | HISTORY | ADMINISTRATION | MEDIA Master Plan, a three-tiered plan that was launched in 2013 and includes major facility improvements that will aid coaches and student-athletes in all 16 athletic programs. Tier One of the plan, which was completed in the fall of 2015, saw the addition of nearly 6,000 seats in the south end zone of Cajun Field, the addition of the Student-Athlete Performance Center and the renovation of the Ragin’ Cajuns Soccer/ Track Complex, that will feature office space and locker rooms for both programs. Tier Two will focus on the renovations towards Cajun Field and M.L. “Tigue” Moore Field, home of Ragin’ Cajuns baseball. Renovations to Cajun Field will ultimately increase capacity, while adding club seats, loge seats and box suites. A new multi-story structure that will be located on the west side of the stadium will house a Hall of Fame Musuem, a bookstore and cafeteria for students and over 23,000 square feet of office space for athletic administration. Improvements to “Tigue” Moore Field will increase capacity to approximately 4,500, including nearly 1,200 chair back seats. The addition of luxury suites, a club level and a new press box will make the “Tigue” an attractive venue to host NCAA Tournaments in the future. With major facility upgrades on the horizon, Farmer has coordinated facility improvements that included the addition of new artificial playing surfaces in Cajun Field, M.L. “Tigue” Moore Field and the Leon Moncla Indoor Practice Facility. Farmer has helped spearhead renovations at both Lamson Park, the home of the nationallyranked softball program, and the Cox Athletic Center. New scoreboards have been installed at the Culotta Tennis Center, Ragin’ Cajuns Soccer/ Track Complex, and Lamson Park, while new video boards have been installed at both Cajun Field and Tigue Moore Field. Farmer has been responsible for the hiring of coaches Mark Hudspeth (football), Bob Marlin (men’s basketball), Garry Brodhead (women’s basketball) and Lon Badeaux (track), who have each created a winning culture in their respective programs and have recorded numerous team and individual honors. He has made Louisiana athletic events more accessible to fans by creating the Ragin’ Cajuns Network, which televises events on an annual basis into the New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Lafayette markets. Farmer was also was instrumental in the expansion of the Ragin’ Cajuns Radio Network, which reaches every corner of the state of Louisiana during football season and has produced a twohour pre-game show, giving Ragin’ Cajuns fans greater ability to follow their team. Farmer has been the driving force behind the creation of GEAUX, the school’s football game day program that has grown to 116 pages of features, profiles, statistics and other information for Cajuns football fans. The program has sold out of its advertising space during the past four seasons dating back to 2012. In 2014, Farmer also helped broker a five-year partnership with Adidas, giving Ragin’ Cajuns student-athletes and coaches the ability to be associated with one of the most iconic athletic apparel providers in the world. Farmer has worked to more than double the number of football season tickets sold, from just under 4,800 when he arrived as Senior Associate Athletic Director in 2007 to a record 13,755 in 2014. His efforts in increasing ticket sales have helped attendance at nearly every Ragin’ Cajuns event reach an all-time high. For the 15th consecutive season, both baseball and softball led the Sun Belt

2015 Media Guide

in attendance while both programs have been consistently ranked among the top 10 programs in attendance at the national level. Since 2011, Louisiana has led the Sun Belt Conference in football attendance in three out of four years with the 2011 campaign seeing the Ragin’ Cajuns setting SBC records for average attendance (29,171), total attendance (145,854) and leading all schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision with an increased average attendance of 11,788. With a consistent winner on the gridiron, fans have flocked in record numbers to New Orleans to watch the team play in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, with the top four crowds in the bowl’s history. Farmer has also garnered success on the conference and NCAA level as he completed a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Softball Committee, serving as the chair in both 2011 and 2012. From 2012-14, Farmer served a three-year term representing the Sun Belt Conference on the prestigious NCAA Leadership Council, and recently completed a four-year term as chair of the Sun Belt Conference Athletic Directors. Farmer’s first two years as athletic director resulted in great success for the Ragin’ Cajuns. In 2011-12, eight of the 16 athletic programs advanced to postseason play in their respective sports, including football making its first bowl appearance since 1970 and men’s basketball hosting a postseason game on campus for the first time since 1985. Farmer came to UL Lafayette after eight years at Troy University where he served as Senior Associate Athletic Director from 1999-2007. He helped the Trojans make a successful transition from both the Atlantic Sun Conference and Southland Football League to the NCAA Division I-FBS level and into the Sun Belt Conference as an all-sports member. At Troy, Farmer oversaw a massive renovation of the athletic facilities, including an $18 million renovation of football’s Veterans Memorial Stadium, new facilities for softball, tennis, track and soccer plus facility upgrades for both basketball and baseball. A native of Ormond Beach, Fla., Farmer was a four-year letterman in swimming at Georgia Southern, being named the school’s male scholar-athlete of the year in 1985. He received his bachelor’s degree in health and physical education in 1986 and a master’s in sports management in 1987. After graduating, Farmer began his career in athletics as head women’s swimming coach at Georgia Southern in 1986. He led the Eagles to eight conference titles in nine seasons, compiling a 65-25 record (.722) to become the winningest coach in program history. Promoted to a dual-position of assistant athletic director for sports programs, student-athlete services and event management in 1988, he left coaching following the 1995-96 season to concentrate on his duties overseeing student-athlete services. During his tenure at Georgia Southern – both as a student and as an administrator – the Eagles won four NCAA FCS (Division I-AA) football national championships. Farmer’s introduction to athletics came at an early age. His father, Bud Farmer, served as director of athletics and head swimming coach at Daytona Beach Community College (now Daytona State College) and was inducted into the National Junior College Swimming Hall of Fame in 2013. Farmer is married to the former Jackie Davis, a record-setting swimmer who he met at Georgia Southern. They are the parents of two children, a daughter, Kaitlin and a son, Kyle.

2015 LOUISIANA RAGIN’ CAJUNS FOOTBALL

Is the Sun Belt Conference a modern-day fixture among the decision-makers in the everchanging world of college athletics? Or is the league a long-time innovator, responsible for advancements in many sports that we now take for granted? Is the Sun Belt home of an alumni base that includes national and international leaders in the areas of government, business and entertainment as well as athletics? Or is the conference one that has established itself as a national contender in a variety of sports, and one that continues to evolve in ways that directly benefit its institutions and more importantly its student-athletes? The answer is yes, yes, yes and yes. The Sun Belt Conference’s “Together We Rise” motto isn’t just hyperbole. It’s proven fact on many different levels, not the least being its place in the hierarchy of collegiate athletics. As the league prepares to celebrate four decades since its founding in 1976, the Sun Belt occupies a “seat at the table” as a permanent part of the NCAA’s 24-member Board of Directors. That alone insures that the conference has a voice in determining the future as college sports continues to change and evolve. Changing and evolving have been hallmarks of the league since its existence. College basketball might be a shadow of its current self had the Sun Belt not led the way in the establishment of the shot clock. The conference also wrote history at the start of the century when it inaugurated football as a league sport – becoming the first already-existing Division I conference to take such action. The Sun Belt was originally founded to give home to some of the nation’s premier mid-major basketball teams, and the league’s history is dotted with success in many different men’s and women’s sports through its history. But when the desire for a higher national profile and the desire of its membership brought about football sponsorship in 2001, the conference was figuratively reborn, and now stands as one of the 10 premier college

2015 Media Guide

football leagues in the country. And, with the recent debut of the College Football Playoff, the Sun Belt is guaranteed universal access based strictly on performance. A worthy football team in the Sun Belt can be in the national championship picture, and the league is a permanent part of the “Group of Five” conferences (joining the American Athletic Conference, the Mountain West Conference, the Mid-American Conference and Conference USA) that will send its highest-rated champion to a premier Jan. 1 bowl game. In only 15 years of football, the Sun Belt has earned ties to no fewer than seven bowl games. In addition to the potential of the College Football Playoff, the league has guaranteed spots in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the GoDaddy Bowl, the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl and the new Cure Bowl for bowl-eligible teams each and every season. Beginning in 2016, the Sun Belt will also be part of a conference rotation that will send teams to the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl and the Miami Beach Bowl. No football conference in history has ever boasted as many bowl relationships in its first two decades of existence, but such breakthroughs have been the rule rather than the exception for a league that continues to exceed expectations. Just in the last three seasons, league members have recorded 52 non-conference wins including a record 21 victories outside the league in 2013. The Sun Belt also has a winning record over its fellow “Group of Five” conferences over the past two seasons, and has claimed three bowl victories in those two years. Gridiron success has grown in the league for several years, but success can also happen overnight. New league member Georgia Southern claimed the Sun Belt football title in its first year in the conference last fall. Appalachian State, another league newbie, rattled off six consecutive wins to close the 2014 football season and finish with a winning 7-5 record. Texas State has finished its two football seasons in the conference as a bowl

eligible team, going 6-6 in its inaugural Sun Belt campaign and then 7-5 this past season. Football, though, is by no means the only hallmark of success for the league. Just this past season, Georgia State knocked off third-seeded Baylor in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and Little Rock defeated sixth-seeded Texas A&M in the women’s NCAA tournament. With the league’s postseason tournaments headed back to the conference’s home city, the “Big Easy” of New Orleans, and a plethora of standouts returning for this season, the league is poised for another successful hoops season. Baseball and softball continue to put the league in the national spotlight during the spring season, with deep runs into postseason play and high visibility in the national polls becoming a tradition. UL Lafayette’s baseball team was the nation’s No. 1 team in the final third of the 2014 season and has reached the NCAA Super Regional round each of the past two years, while the UL Lafayette softball team has advanced to the Super Regional four straight years including a trip to the 2014 College World Series. Many league sports have made statements on the national level, and that is a tribute to the university and athletic administrators that serve both the league institutions and the student-athletes at each school. That this level of success comes at a time of sweeping change in collegiate athletics adds even more to these accomplishments. With those changes, opportunities for student-athletes to succeed both on and off the field have never been greater, and the Sun Belt is well positioned in the areas of scholarship, student welfare and academic success. During the 2014-15 academic year alone, Sun Belt member institutions awarded nearly $50 million in scholarship funds to over 3,084 student-athletes while also contributing over $2 million from the Student Assistance Fund (SAF) to over 1,779 student-athletes. The league and its institutions rewrite the Sun Belt’s record book each year in grade-point averages and academic honors, and member schools’ success in the NCAA’s APR rankings provide even more proof of the league’s academic commitment. In 2015, the conference doubled the number of teams that received NCAA Public Recognition

2015 Media Guide

Awards, given to teams that post APR scores in the top 10 percent of their sport, as 14 teams were among the national honorees compared to seven in 2014. “We have never been as strong as we are now academically and financially, and I believe we are getting stronger all the time athletically,” said former Sun Belt Conference president and Troy University chancellor Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr. recently. “I truly believe the best is yet to come.” The strength of any league lies in its membership, with the Sun Belt’s 11-school football membership including Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Idaho, UL Lafayette, UL Monroe, New Mexico State, South Alabama, Texas State and Troy. Little Rock and UT Arlington compete in all sports as non-football members while Idaho and New Mexico State are football-only members. Those members give the Sun Belt a mix of the “old” and the “new”, with many long-time Sun Belt institutions continuing to have success and a solid corps of conference newcomers ready to make their marks on the league and national levels. The varied campuses and locations reflect another league strength – its diversity. The mix of regions and regional cultures provide a rare opportunity for the league’s student-athletes to experience many environments. But those same student-athletes can also experience that without leaving their own campuses. For every All-Pro linebacker DeMarcus Ware (Troy) and Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Charles Tillman (Louisiana), and for every World Series MVP David Freese (South Alabama) coming from Sun Belt campuses, there are also U.S. presidents (Lyndon Johnson, Texas State), business icons (Chick-Fil-A president Daniel Cathy, Georgia Southern), nationally-known entertainers (Tim McGraw, UL Monroe, and Ludacris, Georgia State), and there is royalty (Miss America Debbye Turner, Arkansas State). These proud alumni, as well as the thousands of student-athletes and staff members at all of its institutions, are proof that the Sun Belt Conference continues to gain stature and provide the promise of future success with every sunrise. “Together We Rise” has never been more appropriate.

2015 LOUISIANA RAGIN’ CAJUNS FOOTBALL The 2015 Louisiana football media guide was prepared by the staff of the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns Sports Information Department to assist the news media in its coverage of its athletic programs. Requests for additional information should be made to the sports information office.

• Video crews shooting footage during practice, though, are asked to limit their filming to the final 30 minutes. • When practice is over, media members are asked to move to the area just inside the entrance gates to the practice field to conduct interviews.

HEAD COACH MARK HUDSPETH • Head coach Mark Hudspeth will be available for interviews on Monday during the Sun Belt Coaches Teleconference (10:50 a.m. CDT) and at his weekly media luncheon. Hudspeth is also available for telephone and in-person interviews in the mornings early in the week by appointment only. Please make requests to Sports Information Director Matt Sullivan at least 24 hours in advance.

2015 Football Student-Athlete Availability Sunday: Practice Closed - No coach or player interviews Monday: Players Day Off (except those attending the Media Luncheon), coaches available by appointment Tuesday: Practice Closed. Interviews after practice Wednesday: Practice Closed. Interviews after practice Thursday: Practice Closed. Interviews after practice Friday: Walk-through closed - No interviews Saturday: Post-Game only (All availability subject to change at any time without prior notice)

PLAYER AVAILABILITY • Player interviews MUST be arranged through the SID office. During the season, Cajuns players are available to the media twice a week, typically Tuesday and Wednesday. To arrange an interview, please call or email Matt Sullivan at least 48 hours in advance. Post-practice interview requests for coaches and players must be made 24 hours in advance. Those interviews will be conducted either on the practice field or in the Sports Information Office in the Cox Communications Athletic Center. Players will not be available for game-day interviews until the post-game press conference. Interviews will always be scheduled around a student-athlete’s academic schedule. NOTE: First-year freshmen are unavailable for interviews after media day (Aug. 5) for the duration of the fall schedule. • MEDIA MEMBERS SHOULD NEVER CONTACT STUDENT-ATHLETES DIRECTLY AT ANY TIME. Student-athletes have been instructed to immediately terminate any contact initiated by a member of the media. PRACTICES • Practices are closed to the media, but may be open at any time upon announcement. Media should contact the SID office if they plan to attend an open practice and should be aware of the designated areas around the practice field from which to view practice.

INJURY INFORMATION • The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) regulates the use and disclosure of certain information held by “covered entities”. It establishes regulations for the use and disclosure of Protected Health Information (PHI). PHI is any information held by a covered entity which concerns health status and provision of health care that can be linked to an individual. • Under the HIPAA Privacy Rule, the University must reasonably limit uses and disclosures of medical information to the minimum necessary to accomplish their intended purpose. In order to supply the media with injury information related to student-athletes, the University shall be limited to discussing the athlete’s name, along with a broad term for the injury and upcoming playing status. • Student-athletes who miss practice due to an injury will not be available for post-practice interviews. • Student-athletes who are injured during a game will not be allowed to participate in post-game media interviews. • Members of the media should never approach athletic trainers to discuss the injury of a studentathlete.
