Acadiana won the last time they faced Lafayette and things went their way on Friday too. The Rams blew past the Lions 42-21. Given the Rams' advantage in MaxPreps' Louisiana football rankings (they are ranked 33rd, while the Lions are ranked 86th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
One reason for the win was Acadiana's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for four sacks. Darryus Mckinley was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two himself. He is becoming a predictor of Acadiana's success: when he posts at least one sack the team is 3-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
