Previewing the Opponent Offense: Louisiana Lafayette

It’s easy to overlook games like the upcoming match against Louisiana Lafayette, but someone has to keep an eye on the opponent when the rest of us are looking towards a national championship. Unfortunately, I drew the short straw this time.

The Ragin Cajuns run a fairly standard spread offense that focuses heavily on running and passing off of play action— similar to Alabama in 2015-2016 under Lane Kiffin, with less misdirection and horizontal field stretching.

Senior quarterback Andre Nunez has been extremely efficient at keeping the chains moving for the Cajuns, completing 72% of his passes for 8.
