LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) — Tony Sterner kicked a 37-yard field goal on the final play of the game and Louisiana-Lafayette rallied to beat Arkansas State 23-20 on Saturday night in the Sun Belt Conference opener for both teams.
The Ragin’ Cajuns (4-1) drove 72 yards in 13 plays, taking the final 3:54 off the clock. Lunch Winfield’s 14-yard completion to Kristion Brooks with 24 seconds left set up Sterner’s winner.
Louisiana-Lafayette took a 7-0 lead late in the first quarter on Winfield’s 2-yard touchdown run at the end of a 66-yard drive.
Clune Van Andel kicked a 25-yard field goal at the end of a 14-play drive to cut it to 7-3 in the second quarter, and Trey Owens connected with Jaylen Bonelli for a 21-yard score with 31 seconds left before halftime to put the Red Wolves (2-3) up 10-7.
Sterner and Van Andel traded field goals for the only scoring in the third quarter and Arkansas State led 13-10.
The Ragin’ Cajuns jumped in front 17-13 on JJ Garner’s 13-yard touchdown run 6 seconds into the final quarter.
