LAFAYETTE, La. -- Quarterback James Blackman, no helmet in sight, watched as Johnnie Lang hobbled to the Arkansas State sideline and headed straight for the trainers.
Backup quarterback A.J. Mayer huddled up with the rest of the offense a few feet away before jogging out to the Red Wolves' 2 -- the result of a muffed catch by Lang on the opening kickoff.
Neither team had yet run a play from scrimmage at Cajun Field. But there were already foreboding signs of a long night in Louisiana for ASU.
The Red Wolves were routed 38-18 at Louisiana-Lafayette on Saturday night with the Ragin' Cajuns marshaled by a career night from quarterback Ben Woolridge.
