Louisiana Hosts Sunbelt Championship vs. Marshall

[Jacob81]

I dont think that moves the needle at all. Can't imagine any casual fan deciding to go to this game because of a story that happened so long ago. It certainly didn't move it when we played them at home the first time.

My post was sarcastic. But the movie is good. Marshall football is or at least was a house hold name at one time. Moss, Pennington, leftwich to name a few when they were rolling.

Couldn't move the needle, no one mentioned it the first time (travesty)

Have we ever played them at home?

Pretty good anecdotal description of our current crowd..

The 10-12k people that already have tickets for this game know exactly who Marshall is (and was), and are excited about a storied program coming to CF.

The people you need to fill the stadium have barely heard of Marshall, and think they are just another Sunbelt team they've never heard of.

Could we get Matthew McConaughey to do the coin toss?

Team played one game a year dedicated to those who perished in that crash...The 75 Game

I think we handle Marshall with ease. They were outshined against conference opponents. Lots of turnover luck.

Interesting statistic about Marshall as I’m watching film and looking at stats. Marshall has outgained 3 opponents this year
Been outgained by 8 opponents
Tied Georgia state in offense in that game

Marshall outgained
Stonybrook
Western Michigan
Southern Miss

Tied Georgia state (427yards)

Outgained in every other game.

They do protect the ball and win the turnover battle in most games. Cause alot of TFL’s on defense. But the offense and overall defense aren’t all that impressive. Cajuns play the way they have most of the year, I like our chances.

[Jacob81]

Cajuns have outgained 10 of 12 opponents. Wake outgained Cajuns by 6 yards and app state outgained Cajuns by 27.

Ironically Cajuns won both games and both Cajun losses we outgained Tulane and USA

[Jacob81]

Line moved to Cajuns -6

I’m so fired up for this game! That is all.

I second that opinion

Injuries have me a bit nervous. All three of our RBs appear to have typical end of year nagging injuries. All have missed time in last few games. DBs look like a Mash unit. OL starting to have injury bug.
Hope they are all at 100% but I think we’ll have our hands full due to players not able to complete game.
I really want this game for these players and staff. Just good people who have worked and played with all they’ve got. Respect.
