Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Sam Houston). Everything went their way against New Iberia on Friday as they made off with a 56-32 victory.

Friday's contest might be decided on the ground. Acadiana has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 267.2 rushing yards per game.
