NEW ORLEANS — Whether Terrance Broadway was throwing, running
or throwing on the run, he gave East Carolina fits and justified
Louisiana-Lafayette coach Mark Hudspeth's decision to let his sophomore
quarterback finish the season as his starter.
Broadway passed for 316 yards
and ran for 108, helping Louisiana-Lafayette repeat as winner of the New
Orleans Bowl. The Ragin' Cajuns beat East Carolina 43-34 Saturday.
The performance capped a season
that opened with Broadway backing up senior Blaine Gautier, who broke a bone in
his throwing hand in late September.
"Terrance comes in and
just has a phenomenal season," said Hudspeth, describing the difficult
decision not to give Gautier — the most valuable player in last year's 32-30
New Orleans Bowl victory over San Diego State — his job back when he was
healthy again late in the season. "We really had hit our stride, and the
best thing about Blaine is he understood."
Broadway had to sit out last season after transferring from
Houston.
Alonzo Harris rushed for 120
yards, including touchdowns of 6 and 68 yards, for the Ragin' Cajuns (9-4).
Shane Carden passed for 278 yards and two TDs for East
Carolina (8-5).
