Louisiana LaFayette Ragin' Cajuns O:6 D:7 The Cajuns no doubt would have won the Sun Belt Conference Championship and played in the New Orleans Bowl against Southern Mississippi if not for their poor start in 2005. They were by far the best team in the conference to close out the campaign, and should storm into this season and make up for last year; they should annihilate every conference opponent on their way to their first bowl game in more than 30 years. The offense under Head Coach Rickey Bustle's was steamrolling opponents at the end of last season, and most of those starters return this season. Back for his senior campaign is quarterback Jerry Babb, joined by the program's second 1000-yard rusher, Tyrell Fenroy, plus an offensive line with three of five returning to protect him and opening run routes. Due to the success of the running game last year, the wide receivers were more or less an afterthought late last season, but two players who caught half their passes a year ago are returning. This could be the Sun Belt Conference's best offensive threat overall, as long as the key players stay away from injury. The Cajuns have are a bit of an enigma defensively, at least up front, but the back seven is the best the Head Coach has had during his time with the team. He's jacked up about the secondary, and thinks it will make some noise throughout the year. The Ragin' Cajuns have a favorable schedule going for them, and could very well represent the Sun Belt Confrence representative in the New Orleans Bowl. |
