Through 3 Quarters

The Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns can’t call it a day yet, but they are winning as expected. They have emerged as the frontrunner after three quarters and are ahead of the South Alabama Jaguars 20-12.

Both Louisiana and South Alabama padded the win column in their previous outings. After we’ll see if the Ragin’ Cajuns have enough left in the tank to claim the win or if the Jaguars will come out on top yet again.

What to Know

The South Alabama Jaguars are staring down a pretty large 12-point disadvantage in the spread for Saturday’s game. They will take on the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns at 8 p.m. ET Saturday at Hancock Whitney Stadium after a week off. The Jaguars have some work to do to even out the 1-5 series between these two since November of 2015, but a win here would be a good start.

South Alabama netted a 28-21 win over the Alcorn State Braves two weeks ago.

Meanwhile, Louisiana beat the Georgia Southern Eagles 28-20 last week.

The wins brought South Alabama up to 3-0 and Louisiana to 3-1. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: South Alabama is stumbling into the contest with the 176th fewest passing touchdowns in the nation, having accrued only two on the season. The Ragin’ Cajuns have experienced some struggles of their own as they are 209th worst in the nation in passing touchdowns allowed, with eight on the season. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
