For the fifth time in the past six seasons, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns will play in the New Orleans Bowl. This time they will battle another 6-6 team in the University of Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles.
Both teams needed to win their final game in order to become bowl eligible, and they did so in impressive fashion. Southern Mississippi tallied 426 yards in a 39-24 victory over Louisiana Tech, while the Ragin’ Cajuns closed the season on a three-game winning streak, including a 30-3 win over the University of Louisiana at Monroe despite having no passing yards.
