Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Spring Practice Report No. 6

LAFAYETTE – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns football team saw its first live action of spring practice on Tuesday, holding a nearly 75-play situational scrimmage at Cajun Field.

Jordan Davis connected with Michael Jacquet on a scoring pass for the Ragin' Cajuns offense while Dion Ray capped a scoring drive with a TD run. Defensively, T.J. Posey returned an interception for a touchdown with Taboris Lee recording a pair of sacks and Chaiziere Malbrue three tackles for loss.

"It was a tale of two halves," head coach Mark Hudspeth said. "I thought early the offense came out ready to play and executed. They made a lot of big plays … that was good to see. I thought Jordan (Davis) showed tremendous poise, had a great demeanor with the team and managed the team and didn't panic.

"The defense came alive in the second half. I thought they battled and came back to win the scrimmage."

All four quarterbacks on the roster (Jordan Davis, Dion Ray, Andre Nunez, Jake Arceneaux) saw action for the Ragin' Cajuns with Davis getting the majority of work with Ashton Johnson getting the majority of carries out of the backfield.

The Ragin' Cajuns defense stepped up its play in the second half of the scrimmage with Posey's interception providing a spark. The Cajuns defense scored points after recording three straight three-and-outs with the final one sealing the win.

Louisiana will return to action on Tuesday (March 16) when it holds its first scrimmage of spring workouts at 3:50 p.m. The Ragin' Cajuns will hold their annual Red-White Spring Game on April 8 and will open the 2017 season on Sept. 2 against Southeastern Louisiana.
