CAJUNS WORK IN FULL GEAR; HUDSPETH, ASSISTANT COACHES GET DUNKED

 

 

LAFAYETTE – The Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns football team held a spirited workout in full gear for over two hours on Thursday in the Moncla Indoor Facility before head coach Mark Hudspeth and three assistants received an ice bucket “cool down” at the end of the session.

 

 

The Ragin’ Cajuns worked on all phases heading into Saturday’s final scrimmage of fall camp and their Aug. 30 season opener against Southern. While the Cajuns turned in an impressive workout near the end of their second week of camp, it was after the session where the team had the most fun.

 

 

After being challenged on Wednesday by ESPN1420’s Scott Prather to the Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS, Hudspeth accepted the offer and was dunked with ice water by Ragin’ Cajuns players Dominick Jones and Sherard Johnson.

 

 

Hudspeth immediately issued a challenge to offensive line coach/run game coordinator Mitch Rodrigue, which the fourth-year assistant accepted and was given an ice bath from linemen Mykhael Quave, Octravian Anderson and Terry Johnson.

 

 

Associate Head Coach/Offensive Coordinator Jay Johnson was the next assistant to accept the challenge, and with quarterbacks Terrance Broadway and Jalen Nixon handling the bucket, Johnson was doused before issuing a challenge to outside linebackers coach David Saunders.

 

 

Saunders, in his fourth year on the Ragin’ Cajuns staff, received an ice bath from Darrien Batiste and Sherard Johnson before responding at the end, “That’s all?”

 

 

The Ragin’ Cajuns will work twice on Friday with an 8:30 a.m. workout in shells before returning at 4:30 p.m. in helmets.
