- Jacksonville State has a huge motivational edge going into this game, as they look to prove they were deserving of this bowl exception.
- Louisiana lost three of its final four games this regular season, including against bad Southern Miss and Arkansas State teams.
In this year’s New Orleans Bowl, it will be Jacksonville State vs Louisiana in a battle of Conference USA vs Sun Belt. Jacksonville State was not supposed to be in a bowl game this season, as they are in a transitional period from FCS to FBS. But they are here and they have a great chance to win a bowl game in their first try against a Louisiana team that has struggled in getting to bowl season.
Louisiana did its work early in the regular season, getting out to a 5-3 start. But the Ragin’ Cajuns lost three of their final four games, only securing bowl eligibility on the final day of their regular season. Here, they could struggle against a Jacksonville State team that won eight games during the regular season and were competitive against quality opponents like New Mexico State and South Carolina even in their defeats.
