COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Louisiana has been the steadier team through three games, with 2-1 record, a balanced offense, and a rushing attack that has produced 204.7 yards per game. Charlotte has struggled to finish drives and has allowed 36.7 points per game, but its offense has still generated 237.3 passing yards per game and 369.0 total yards per game. That mix suggests Louisiana should control the game, yet Charlotte has enough offensive output to avoid a total mismatch if it can limit mistakes and keep drives alive.
Louisiana should win this game, but Charlotte has enough passing production and enough overall yardage to stay inside the number. The projected final score is Louisiana Ragin Cajuns 31, Charlotte 49ers 24, which supports Charlotte plus the points and keeps the game in a mid-range scoring band. Louisiana’s stronger record and better rushing offense make them the more likely outright winner, but the spread looks a little too wide for a 49ers team that can still move the ball.
