Stevie Artigue kicked a 21-yard field goal in the fourth quarter after a failed Georgia State fake punt and Louisiana-Lafayette took a 23-21 victory on Saturday.
Punter Wil Lutz, who missed two field-goal attempts, tried to pass on fourth-and-5 from the Georgia State 24, but the ball was caught by defensive end Tevin Jones for a loss. The Ragin' Cajuns (4-4, 3-1 Sun Belt) declined the illegal touching penalty and reached the Panthers 5 before Artigue's field goal with 6:59 remaining.
