Louisiana is up against one of the best offenses in college football when it takes on Houston in the Independence Bowl.
The Cougars rank 13th in the country in points per game behind an electric passing offense led by quarterback Clayton Tune but allow nearly as many points as they score. The Ragin’ Cajuns rely more on defense to win games and will have the chance to move the ball against one of the worst passing defenses in the FBS.
Louisiana became bowl eligible in its regular-season finale, a win over Texas State, and Houston did so in mid-November but failed to deliver on preseason expectations after beginning the season in the AP Top 25.
