LAFAYETTE — UL Lafayette’s Ragin’ Cajuns know what it means to get a spark of momentum just before halftime.

Three weeks ago at Louisiana Tech, a Cajun touchdown at the end of the first half sparked a 20-point run that reversed a 17-0 deficit. A similar UL rally ending the game fell just short in a 24-20 loss.

Two weeks ago at Kansas State, the Cajuns came within an incompletion of a score that would have drawn them within 20-14 of the Wildcats at half.

As it was, KSU opened the second half with a TD of its own and UL was in a hole on the way to a 40-20 defeat.

Then in last Saturday’s Sun Belt Conference opener at Cajun Field against Middle Tennessee, sophomore quarterback Jerry Babb engineered a 10-play, 79-yard drive capped by a 10-yard touchdown pass to B.J. Crist that produced a 14-14 halftime deadlock.

The Cajuns went on to a 24-17 victory to springboard their Sun Belt title dreams.
