LAFAYETTE – Classes began on Monday for the University and Louisiana Football's student-athletes, giving the Ragin' Cajuns a new transition point in the ongoing preparation for the 2018 season. Head coach Billy Napier transitioned into game week mode a week ahead of schedule, giving the Ragin' Cajuns a chance to go through preparation simulating next weekend's Sept. 1 season opener against Grambling.
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL: For the student-athletes, and their peers all around campus, Monday marked the first day of classes for the fall semester. It meant that training camp, in terms of Louisiana's all-day commitment to being at the facilities watching film and working out, has come to an end with Louisiana's student-athletes now spending the majority of their days on campus.
