LAFAYETTE — Despite another close loss on the road, Louisiana head coach Michael Desormeaux says his team remains focused on finishing strong with four games left in the regular season.

The Ragin’ Cajuns dropped a 35-23 contest at Troy over the weekend, falling short late after a series of missed red zone opportunities and costly turnovers. Desormeaux said the team’s struggles in scoring territory ultimately made the difference.

“It comes down to red zone scoring,” Desormeaux said Monday. “We were able to move the football, but we didn’t finish drives with touchdowns. You can’t win one-possession games like that.”

Quarterback Lunch Winfield (326 total yards) sparked the offense with several explosive plays, and Desormeaux praised the sophomore’s leadership and poise under pressure. Howe
