UL-Lafayette and East Carolina could put up some big numbers in the Superdome on Saturday, and here’s everything you need to know to make sure you can see it.
Chris Graythen
This game should feature a lot of yards and points. Both of these offenses averaged over 30 points per game this season, and the ECU and ULL defenses rank 78th and 88th in total defense, respectively.
The most important single player in this game is probably Ragin' Cajun quarterback Terrance Broadway, who has scored 24 total touchdowns this season, while averaging over 210 passing yards per game. ECU will have a difficult time dealing with him, and some of the other offensive weapons like running back Alonzo Harris could slip through the cracks.
The Pirates have a dangerous quarterback themselves in sophomore Shane Carden. While not the same kind of running threat as Broadway, Carden combined for 29 touchdowns this season, and threw for over 236 yards per game. Carden threw for a school-record 439 yards in ECU's season finale vs. Marshall, which they won, 65-59, in overtime.
