Football: Baer Grabs Sun Belt Honor

Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns sophomore kicker Brett Baer was named the Sun Belt Conference Special Teams Player of the Week, as announced by the conference office on Monday.

Baer turned in a special performance on Saturday at Ohio.  In addition to his field goal and four extra points, Baer executed two perfectly placed onsides kicks.  UL recovered both onside kicks in the game, one on the opening kickoff of the second half (recovered by Baer himself) and the other with 1:36 remaining in the game.

The Sun Belt Player of the Week honor is the fourth of the season for UL players.

In addition, tight end Ladarius Green earned honorable mention honors by CollegeFootballPerformance.com for National Tight End of the Week.
