Acadiana had won four straight on the road, but on Friday they bumped up to 6-3 to make it five. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat the Sam Houston Broncos 49-21. The result was nothing new for the Rams, who have now won four contests by 21 points or more so far this season.
Acadiana's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Troy Kennerson, who rushed for 81 yards and one TD. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 74 yards. Another player making a difference was Collin Dibetta, who gained 117 total yards and three touchdowns.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Acadiana was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 308 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 182 rushing yards in seven consecutive games.
Acadiana's defense stepped up as well, laying out Gavin Breaux three times. Darryus Mckinley was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two sacks himself. He has been hot, having also posted five or more total tackles the last six times he's played. Acadiana got some further help from Gavin Hisaw: he made 12 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
As for Sam Houston, they have been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-6 record this season. Those losses can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 30.8 points over those games.
When it comes to explaining why Sam Houston lost, don't look at Breaux. Despite the final result, he rushed for 121 yards and one score on only eight carries, and also threw for 65 yards and a pair of touchdowns. E.J. Hanney helped out on the ground, rushing for 89 yards.
