Junior quarterback Jaelle Noble threw five touchdown passes and ran for two scores. Freshman safety Louis Brown III intercepted three passes, including a 99-yard return for a touchdown that helped build a 33-8 halftime lead. Karr scored first on a blocked punt, and Noble's late third-quarter touchdown run triggered a running clock.
“We just made a statement to the whole state of Louisiana that we're coming, and we ain't going nowhere.”
