Louisiana at Texas
Saturday, Sept. 4

So, are you excited about Sept. 4 yet? Don't sleep on this one.

Texas has a new head coach in Steve Sarkisian and hopes he can return the team to glory. But Louisiana has already proven to be a problem for Big 12 teams.

The Ragin' Cajuns shocked Iowa State by 17 points to open the 2020 campaign, the same season that saw the Cyclones end up 9-3 and Fiesta Bowl champs.

The upset vaulted Louisiana to a 10-1 season and a spot in the final CFP Top 25.

Nice. Sets us up for a potentially greater season than 2020. Geaux Cajuns!

[BeauCajun]

Lots of good games that weekend.

Lots of good games that weekend.

----Think that the trick bag will be opened against the Cajuns! But they wont have the talent as Bama, just the program that Nap brought to UL!

[Turbine]

This could be the game that cements Louisiana in the Big-12 consciousness.

[Policarp]

Louisiana is one of 2 G5 teams mentioned and only team from da boot as well.

Free national publicity at its finest

You couldn't ask for much better publicity than this.

You couldn't ask for much better publicity than this.

Only with a win, and very strong follow through season.

LSU, and Notre Dame could have a three win season, win their first two games and be ranked in top 25.

We simply cannot lose and retain respect. That’s the same for almost every G5 team.

You couldn't ask for much better publicity than this.

Certainly no better 'off season' publicity.
