JUNIOR CB JEVANTE WATSON PICKED OFF HIS FOURTH PASS OF THE SEASON
In a game that was much, much closer than any expert had predicted Louisiana-Lafayette hung with Ole Miss before giving up a late touchdown to lose 27-24 in Oxford, Mississippi.
"We gave them all they wanted, that's for damn sure." ULL head coach Jay Johnson said after the close loss. "One of those 'a play here or there games' you know?"
Ole Miss senior quarterback Bo Wallace bounced back from an early interception and drove the Rebels down the field for the winning score after trailing with less than two minutes left to play.
ULL held their SEC opponent under 400 total yards and kept their offense in the game despite the Cajuns only being able to muster 67 yards rushing. Cajuns' QB Terrance Broadway played a great game, passing for 241 yards and two scores with no turnovers. Broadway also ran for 26 yards and a score.
"You'd love to win a game like this." Coach Johnson added. "But there's still a lot of positives we can take away from a game like this one."
Louisiana will now move onto their conference schedule and look to be the favorites to win the Sun Belt at this point. They'll start things off with New Mexico State in two weeks.

Coach Davis' Take
We went into an undefeated SEC team's house and gave them all they wanted and hey, it sucks to lose but there's a lot to be proud of from this game. We're not hanging our heads after this one that's for sure. We mixed in some new looks and the guys picked up on them and executed them. Close game, we'll learn from it and move on.
