Cajuns Enjoy Chery Flavor Over North Texas

Jason Chery scored five touchdowns to lead Louisiana's Ragin'Cajuns to a 59-30 victory against Morth Texas on Saturday night in Denton, Texas.

The Ragin' Cajuns are 2-0 in Sun Belt Conference play for the first time in school history. The Cajuns’ 59 points are a modern era school record and are the most since the team scored 67 points vs. Corpus Christi in 1956.

Jason Chery had 335 all-purpose yards and five touchdowns – in the first half. Chery had just seven touches in the first half, two kickoff returns for 131 yards, three receptions for 123 yards and two runs for 81 yards. He scored on a 97-yard kickoff return, an 81-yard run and caught scoring passes of 17, 49 and 57 yards.
