Heartbroken.
That was the general emotion at the Kibbie Dome and in the locker room after the Vandals lost their homecoming game 21-16 to Louisiana-Lafayette on Saturday.
“The morale in the locker room is pretty rough because we played well enough to win most of the time but couldn’t execute enough,” junior linebacker Tony Lashley said. The Vandal defense gave up only 297 yards to a Ragin’ Cajuns offense that had been averaging nearly 450 yards per game. They also recorded seven sacks against Louisiana quarterback Andre Nunez, who replaced starter Jordan Davis after the first drive.
