It will be interesting to see what a healed up and rested Gauthier can do. Also, LG should be showing no effects from the shoulder injury that bothered him for most of the year. Obviously both theams have the same records but I would imagine SDSU will be heavily favored in this game due to their SOS. The Cajuns have done pretty well as underdogs this year. They will need to come out sharp to win this game. Can't wait!

I would say that SDSU is favored (on paper) per their SOS. But, the partisan crowd in the Dome is going to be a major league benefit to the Cajuns. Bowls also allow for far more focused preparation. SDSU would probably argue this... but we are way more multi-dimensional offensively. We have a lot of different weapons. I think it will be a shootout and teams that count too heavily on a single prolific RB are generally on the wrong end of a shootout in bowl games.

A fresh and crowd inspired defense is going to force them to do more than run Hillman IMO. The biggest issue for the Cajuns is that we need to return to the defensive form we started the year. The Superdome is going to be a home game for us... and this team doesn't lose home games.

Obviously, our special teams need to come up big for us in this game. We cannot give SDSU a short field to work with. And as always... the team that wins the TO battle usually wins the game. We have to play smart and not cough up the pill.

Great SDSU will not sell the 9k tickets allocated to them, and some UL fans who were wanting better seats will infiltrate the SDSU side.

I do not know how many of you guys have ever been to San Diago, but l can assure you that their fans will have to want to support the local team to travel to New Orleans. Middle of winter, vs mild, beautiful San Diago. Now I would follow the Cajuns because they are my team if I lived in San Diago, but a trip to New Orleans in December for a minor bowl is not a great motivator for travel IMO.

I'd like to see the red helmets (white face masks), red jerseys, and white pants. Isn't SD State red and black?

Aren't the colors of SDSU red and black? Why wouldn't we stick to our red and white colors?

Massey has us as 6 point home dogs.

Once UL became-eligible with an Oct. 15 win over North Texas, there seemed to be little doubt that the New Orleans Bowl would wrap its arms around the Ragin' Cajuns. The Cajuns, however, should consider themselves fortunate there was a game to ...
