Marshall -10.5 / -430 / 47.5
The Ragin' Cajuns (2-3, 0-2), are seventh in the West Division, 0-2 on the road. Overall since 2019 Louisiana is 15-4 on the road against Top 100 FBS competition.Louisiana leads the all-time series 1-0. Louisiana defeated Marshall 36-21 in the 2021 New Orleans Bowl. ULL enters this game losing 3-in-a-row. After 24 wins, two Sun Belt titles, and three bowl victories in the last three seasons ULL can’t keep it going One of the worst kept secrets in college football was that ULL Head Coach Billy Napier was killing time before going off to a giant head coaching gig somewhere. He did, and is now the Florida head coach. Now Louisiana has to try to maintain its greatness and keep on winning without Napier, without QB Levi Lewis, and without a slew of good players who took off for Gainesville with their former head coach among other places. Well, the verdict is in…ULL is no longer the king of the Sun Belt.
