Will Hillman Be Able to Be Contained? Preview of R+L Carriers Bowl
The Louisiana Superdome comes alive on December 17th as the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl kicks off. The San Diego State Aztecs face the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns in a battle to the finish. The Aztecs come into play with an 8-4 record and a 4-3 record in their MWC. The Aztecs average 29.8 points per game on offense and 24.4 points per game on defense.
The Aztecs are led 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 losing effort against Wyoming on October 29th. Hillman reminds many of former Aztecs phenom and newest NFL Hall Of Famer Marshall Faulk who also ran up and down opposing teams in the early 1990′s.
The Ragin’ Cajuns defense will have their hands full in attempting to stifle Ronnie Hillman on the ground. Both defenses will definitely work hard in this shootout of two great squads. The two-way threat of Gautier versus the running game of Hillman will be on display. Both squads will look to put a lot of points on the board in this game.
