Rice defense steps up, ends Louisiana’s 15-game win streak in 33-21 fashion

Last time the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns traveled to the state of Texas, the date was Sept. 4, 2021. They fell 38-18 in Austin to Texas that afternoon, but that dejected feeling would become foreign for the next 378 days.

But in Louisiana’s first trip to the Lone Star State since, the Ragin’ Cajuns suffered a fate which they had not witnessed in over a calendar year — a loss. The Rice Owls sucked the life out of the Ragin’ Cajun offense and slid past the reigning Sun Belt champions in a 33-21 decision, officially concluding the longest win streak in the FBS at 15 games.
