JONESBORO — Of course Louisiana-Lafayette quarterback Levi Lewis was going to sneak it. He’d already sprinted up to the line once, just before the Ragin’ Cajuns called timeout.
Two minutes left, just 1 yard needed to ice the game with the Ragin’ Cajuns having already run for 400-plus yards. It had to be a keeper.
And then he pitched it.
With a simple toss to Montrell Johnson, Louisiana-Lafayette put the finishing touches on its master class in clock management, salting away the final 10:26 of Thursday night’s matchup with Arkansas State to escape Centennial Bank Stadium with a 28-27 win.
