Will Hillman Be Able to Be Contained? Preview of R+L Carriers Bowl
The Louisiana Superdome comes alive on December 17th when the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl starts. The San Diego State Aztecs take on the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns in a battle for the championship. 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 headed up by senior QB Ryan Lindley (2,740 yards – 52.5 completion pct – 20 td’s / 8 int – 122.9 rating). The running game is in competent hands with star sophomore running back Ronnie Hillman (287 carries – 1,656 yards – 19 td’s). Hillman had a 99-yard touchdown run in a game against Wyoming on October 29th. Hillman reminds many of previous Aztecs phenom and newest NFL Hall Of Famer Marshall Faulk who also ran all over the field against opposing teams in the early 1990′s.
The Ragin’ Cajuns defense will have their hands full in attempting to slow down Ronnie Hillman on the ground. Both defenses will definitely get a workout in this shootout of two impressive squads. The two-way threat of Gautier versus the ground game of Hillman will be on display. Both teams will work to put a lot of points on the board in this classic.
