UL has won eight straight, including six Sun Belt Conference games, since losing its season opener at Texas.
The No. 25 Ragin’ Cajuns (8-1, 6-0) continue Sun Belt play Saturday (2:30 p.m., ESPN+) at Troy University (5-4, 3-2) with extra motivation. Having already won the Sun Belt’s West Division, they’re seeking to host the conference championship for the first time since its inception in 2018.
“That’s the next kind-of carrot we can hang out there,” UL coach Billy Napier said.
The Cajuns, coming off last week’s 21-17 home win over Georgia State, can guarantee that by winning their last two league games, against Troy and Nov.
