on a hazy 44 degree day at Bulldog Stadium
What a tremendous game it was

Second Quarter
Here's where the stalemate began to give
- After forcing a a three and out Fresno State marched down the field on the 78 yard drive, taking 6 minutes off the clock, and ending in a 1 yard plunge from Josh Quezada putting Fresno up 10-0
- After another defensive stop, Fresno marches right back down and gets a 35 yarder from McGuire this time around putting the Bulldogs up 13-0 with just over a minute left in the half
- The Ragin Cajuns run hurry up and put themselves in good enough position to close out the half with a 34 yarder from Stephen Brauchle
Halftime: Fresno State 13 - Louisiana Lafayette 3
Third Quarter
This quarter was all Ragin Cajuns
- Louisiana Lafayette fielded the opening kick off of the half and marched 96 yards on a Alonzo Harris sprint right after a muffed kickoff return. The extra point from Brauchle made it Fresno State 13-10
- After stopping the Bulldogs in their own territory, the Ragin Cajuns took over from their own 12 yardline and drove it 88 yards, milking over 7 minutes off he clock. Torrey Pierce scored from 11 yards out on an inside zone left putting the Cajuns up 17-13

Here's where the game got all sorts of fun
