The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns take on the Houston Cougars in the Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl. Houston comes into this game having won three of their last five n Shreveport, LA. The Cougars ended their regular season winning three of their last five while Louisiana dropped three of their last five to close the season. The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns will be without their starting quarterback and best receiver. Louisiana ranked 83rd in total offense On the defensive side they were ranked 49th in total defense.
The Houston Cougars lost their last game of the season to Tulsa 37-30 as double-digit favorites. Houston did have two key players opt for the draft but they will be playing in this game. Houston's offense ranked 20th in total offense but was 110th in total defense.

The Ragin Cajuns have two of their top playmakers out, while Houston has not lost anybody off a potent offense that put up 37 points a game this season and over 44 in their last five games. They were held to less than 30 once this season. Louisiana was held to less than 22 points five times. Houston's defense was suspect all season but without Louisiana's best two offensive weapons I see them having difficulty in scoring.

Play on Houston.
