Elijah McGuire rushed for 82 yards and a touchdown and added a 60-yard touchdown reception for Louisiana-Lafayette (7-2, 4-0), which has won seven straight. Effrem Reed also had a touchdown catch and Darryl Surgent returned a punt for a score for the Ragin' Cajuns.

Corey Robinson passed for 271 yards and a touchdown and Brandon Burks rushed for 126 yards on 15 carries for Troy (5-5, 3-3). Ten players had receptions for the Trojans, with Eric Thomas leading the way with five catches for 93 yards and a score.

The Ragin' Cajuns raced to a 21-6 lead after one quarter as McGuire ripped off a 38-yard touchdown run and hauled in the long TD pass from Broadway and Surgent returned a punt 67 yards. The Trojans pulled within 28-26 when Camren Hudson picked off Broadway and went 65 yards for a score, but Broadway bounced back to lead two long touchdown drives and regain control.

After a fumble set up Robinson's 3-yard touchdown pass to Thomas to make it 41-36, the Trojans got the ball back and drove inside the 10 before being stopped on downs as Robinson threw a pair of incompletions on third- and fourth-and-goal from the 4.
