ORLANDO - Louisiana Football pulled within one score of Tulane in the fourth quarter, but could not overcome a deficit created by 24 unanswered first-half points from the Green Wave, who went on to defeat the Ragin' Cajuns, 41-24, in Orlando, on Saturday afternoon.
The Ragin' Cajuns found themselves down just 27-24 with 10:16 to play in the game, but two touchdowns by the Green Wave in the span of 43 seconds with under four minutes remaining in the ball game proved to be the difference.
Senior quarterback Andre Nunez finished the game 8-for-17 for 136 yards and a touchdown, while senior wide receiver Ryheem Malone led the receiving corps with 59 yards on three receptions.
