The Louisiana Superdome will come to life on December 17th as the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl starts. The San Diego State Aztecs take on the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns in a battle to the finish. The Aztecs come into play with an 8-4 record and a 4-3 record in their MWC. The Aztecs average 29.8 points per game on offense and 24.4 points per game on defense.
The Aztecs are led by senior QB Ryan Lindley (2,740 yards – 52.5 completion pct – 20 td’s / 8 int – 122.9 rating). The running game is in competent hands with star sophomore RB Ronnie Hillman (287 carries – 1,656 yards – 19 td’s). Hillman had a 99-yard touchdown run in a loss against Wyoming on October 29th. Hillman reminds many of previous Aztecs star and newest NFL Hall Of Famer Marshall Faulk who also ran up and down opposing defenses in the early 1990′s.
The Ragin’ Cajuns defense will have their hands full in trying to contain Ronnie Hillman on the ground. Both defenses will definitely work hard in this shootout of two phenomenal teams. The two-way threat of Gautier versus the running game of Hillman will be a spectacle. Both squads will work to put a lot of points on the board in this game.
