LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) — Lunch Winfield rushed for 91 yards and two touchdowns as Louisiana-Lafayette built a 14-point halftime lead and held off UAB 21-14 on Saturday night.
The Ragin’ Cajuns (2-1) led 7-0 after the first quarter before Winfield scored on runs of 9 and 11 yards in the second to make it 21-7 at halftime.
UAB (1-2) got on the board in the second quarter when Sterling Sanders forced a Darrell Smith fumble, and Chris Burge returned it 13 yards for a touchdown.
Nate Rogers’ 11-yard touchdown run with 8:59 remaining pulled the Blazers within seven.
