HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – They say lightning doesn't strike on the same football team twice. Nobody told the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns in its nationally-televised game against Marshall.
, in his first career start, tossed for a career-high 230 yards and two touchdowns and Louisiana erupted for 20 points after a 37-minute delay due to lightning just before the start of the second half to claim a 23-13 Sun Belt Conference victory over Marshall on Wednesday at Joan C. Edwards Stadium.
Louisiana (3-3, 1-2 SBC) snapped a three-game losing streak – equaling its longest since dropping three straight in Billy Napier's first season in 2018 – and earned its second win over Marshall (3-3, 0-2 SBC) in a span of 10 months.
