2011 R+L Carriers Bowl to Become a Classic
Dec 15th
The Louisiana Superdome will come to life on December 17th when the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl begins. The San Diego State Aztecs take on the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns in a battle for the title. The Aztecs come into the game with an 8-4 record and a 4-3 record in the Mountain West Conference. The Aztecs average 29.8 points per game on offense and 24.4 points per game on defense.
The Aztecs are headed up by senior quarterback Ryan Lindley (2,740 yards – 52.5 completion pct – 20 td’s / 8 int – 122.9 rating). The running game is in stellar 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 former Aztecs phenom and latest NFL Hall Of Famer Marshall Faulk who also ran all over the field against opposing players in the early 1990′s.
The Ragin’ Cajuns defense will have their hands full in trying to slow down Ronnie Hillman on the ground. Both defenses will definitely get a workout in this shootout of two phenomenal squads. The two-way threat of Gautier versus the ground game of Hillman will be a spectacle. Both schools will work to put a lot of points on the board in this matchup.
