After his team won the New Orleans Bowl for the third consecutive season, Louisiana coach Mark Hudspeth admitted Saturday night that he would prefer an easier path to the postgame celebration.

After beating San Diego State on a field goal as time ran out in 2011 and getting a key interception late in the fourth quarter with a three-point lead on East Carolina in 2012, the Ragin’ Cajuns (9-4) blew a 21-0 advantage against Tulane at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome before winning 24-21.
