High Octane Offenses Collide

This game will feature two of the top scoring teams in the Sun Belt.

Since losing to Tulane in Week 4, the Ragin’ Cajuns have ripped off four straight wins, scoring at least 34 points in each of them. They have failed to top 30 points just once in seven games on the season.

Three of those wins have come on the road, including last week’s 34-24 win over Coastal Carolina. QB Ben Wooldridge had himself a day, with a season-best 373 yards passing and three touchdowns.

He’s thrown for 1,785 yards on the year, with 15 touchdowns against four interceptions.

Louisiana’s passing game ranks third by yards in the Sun Belt, with 264 yards per contest, while picking up better than 180.6 yards on the ground (sixth).

Texas State will play the Sun Belt West leader after losing to the Sun Belt East leader last week, losing 24-14 to Old Dominion.

It was by far the lowest scoring output for the Bobcats this season, as they have posted better than 30 points per contest in five of seven games on the year.

They’re right up there with the opposition, topping the Cajuns with 185.4 rush yards per game (4th), and 275.1 passing yards (2nd).

We’ll see how much Jordan McCloud and the Bobcats will be able to throw the ball in this one, though, as Louisiana boasts the top passing defense in the conference, limiting teams to just 166.3 yards per game.

Texas State is a Top-5 pass defense, and they’ll try to get pressure on Wooldridge, as they lead the conference in both sacks and forced fumbles.

Louisiana vs Texas State Prediction

We’ll see how strong Louisiana’s tape session was this week, as Old Dominion held McCloud to his lowest passing total all season, at 173 yards and two interceptions.

If they can find a way to slow him just a little bit, their offense should continue to work on schedule and at a high frequency.

Louisiana vs Texas State Last 5 Games

This will be just the second time in 11 games ULL will be an underdog in this matchup. You have to go all the way back to 2014, when it covered as a 2.5-point dog.

Overall, they’re 9-1-0 against the spread in the last 10 against Texas State. They’re also 4-0 on the road this season, with three of those coming on this recent 4-game fun run.

Until proven otherwise, I’ll stick to the juggernaut in this series — with plus odds as a bonus — until proven otherwise.
