Louisiana stifles Nevada in New Orleans Bowl

Once again, the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns felt right at home in the Big Easy.

Terrance Broadway threw for 227 yards and Hunter Stover kicked three field goals as the Ragin Cajuns won an unprecedented fourth straight New Orleans Bowl with a 16-3 triumph over Nevada.

Broadway completed a crisp 26-of-31 passes with a first-quarter touchdown to C.J. Bates, though it was Louisiana's defense that played the biggest role in the program's latest successful venture into the Superdome.

Louisiana (9-4) held the Wolf Pack to season-low totals in points and total yards (216), with Nevada (7-6) mustering just 92 on the ground after rushing for 223 or more in five straight games coming in.

Cody Fajardo, Nevada's dual-threat quarterback, was kept squarely in check in his final collegiate game, throwing for a mere 124 yards on 14-of-29 passing and gaining 51 yards on 13 carries.

Elijah McGuire put up 153 yards from scrimmage to help the Cajuns close out the season with an eighth win in nine tries, with James Butler recording eight catches for 53 yards in the victory.
