@ #19 Louisiana: Wins by Double Digits

 

Current odds:

Georgia Southern Eagles: (+350)

Louisiana Ragin Cajuns: (-440)

 

• The line for this game is Ragin Cajuns by 11.5 points.

• The Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns already have made history this season. And they haven’t even played a home game yet. The Ragin’ Cajuns beat a Top 25 team on the road for the first time in school history when they opened the season with a 31-14 victory at then-No. 23 Iowa State in Ames, Iowa, two weeks ago. That earned them their own ranking as they moved into the No. 19 spot, which they maintained this week after a 34-31 overtime victory at Georgia State in Atlanta in their Sun Belt Conference opener last week. Now they come home to meet Georgia Southern (1-0) in the Eagles’ Sun Belt opener Saturday. Louisiana started slowly last week and had to overcome a pair of 14-point deficits to prevail.

• Louisiana fell behind 14-0 early and trailed 21-7 in the third quarter before rallying behind running back Elijah Mitchell. He rushed for 164 yards, including a 12-yard jaunt for the winning touchdown in overtime.

• The Eagles’ resiliency and resolve are also being tested. They won their opener against Campbell, 27-26, two weeks ago despite 33 players being sidelined for a variety of reasons, some COVID-19-related. Georgia Southern was unable to play last week because its opponent, Florida Atlantic, had to postpone the game because of COVID-related absences.
