What to Know
The Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns and the Georgia State Panthers will face off in a Sun Belt clash at 7:30 p.m. ET Nov. 4 at Cajun Field. Both teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.
Louisiana got themselves on the board against the Texas State Bobcats last week, but Texas State never followed suit. The Ragin’ Cajuns claimed a resounding 45 to nothing win over the Bobcats at home. The contest was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point Louisiana had established a 35 to nothing advantage. Louisiana QB Levi Lewis was slinging it as he passed for three TDs and 229 yards on 33 attempts.
Special teams collected 13 points for Louisiana. K Nate Snyder delivered a perfect 3-for-3 game.
Meanwhile, Georgia State beat the Georgia Southern Eagles 21-14 last week. RB Tucker Gregg and CB Jamyest Williams were among the main playmakers for the Panthers as the former punched in two rushing touchdowns and the latter punched in one rushing touchdown. Georgia State’s victory came on a 23-yard rush from Williams with only 0:32 remaining in the fourth quarter.
The Ragin’ Cajuns are the favorite in this one, with an expected 12.5-point margin of victory. Those who got lucky with them against the spread last week might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.
