MONROE, La. (AP) — Elijah McGuire ran for 110 yards and a touchdown, and Louisiana-Lafayette returned two fumbles for scores to beat Louisiana-Monroe 30-3 in the rain on Saturday.

In the second quarter, Trev Miller recovered a fumble and ran 73 yards into the end zone, and Otha Peter returned another fumble 29 yards for a score. Stevie Artigue's 26-yard field goal stretched the Ragin' Cajuns lead to 24-3 at halftime.
Artigue kicked 35 and 37-yard field goals in the third quarter.
Evans was 3 of 14 for 31 yards passing and threw two interceptions. Austin Vaughn ran for 61 yards for the Warhawks (4-8, 3-5).
