[Louisiana 2024 schedule]
RJ’s take: Louisiana A.K.A., Don’t Call Us Louisiana-Lafayette, A.K.A. ULL stands for U Laid Low looks, to return to the heights Billy Napier took them to.
Napier went 34-5 as chief chef among Raging Arcadian with two Sun Belt titles in two of his last three years there. Then Michael Desormeaux walked in to assume the executive chef spot, and the gumbo spoiled.
In Year 3, Desmoreaux is just 13-14. If it’s gonna come together in 2024, he’ll cook with a pass rush attack that includes juniors Jordan Lawson and Cameron Whitfield, who combined for 15 sacks last season.
Louisiana Ragin Cajuns’ Win Total Odds: Over 7.5 (-140) Under 7.5 (+110)
