The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns will take on the TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday at 1:15 p.m. While some Horned Frog fans were disappointed about the New Mexico Bowl matchup, the Cajuns may end up being more trouble than most fans think. Louisiana went 7-1 in conference play and 10-3 overall. In their most recent performance, Louisiana lost to Marshall 31-3 in the Sun Belt Conference Championship.

There are a couple of things to note about this year's New Mexico Bowl matchup. First, this will mark the first-ever football meeting between the Horned Frogs and the Ragin' Cajuns. Second, the matchup between the two teams is one of eight bowl games featuring a G5 vs. P4 matchup.

With the Cajuns coming off a loss, Louisiana head coach Michael Desormeaux will have his guys fired up to end the season on a high note. Here's the bowl-game depth chart for the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns.

Louisiana Depth Chart Notes

Chandler Fields has been exceptional in his time on the field in the 2024 season. While Ben Wooldridge began the season as the starting quarterback, his turnover problem paved the way for Chandler Fields to earn the starting job. Fields has a 72.4% completion rate in 87 passing attempts, and in the seven games he's played, he's thrown for five touchdowns and one interception.

WR Lance LeGendre and RB Zylan Perry are the two most explosive players on this Ragin' Cajuns squad. LeGendre has over 800 yards receiving, while Perry has averaged over 6 yards/rush this season.

On the defense, K.C. Ossai is easily the most impressive defender for the Ragin' Cajuns. The Louisiana linebacker has racked up 110 total tackles this season, 56 of those tackles being unassisted. Two players to keep an eye on are Tyrone Lewis and Kody Jackson. Lewis and Jackson have combined for seven interceptions this season. Look for the Ragin' Cajuns to bring pressure early on in the game to see if they can get Josh Hoover to make a mistake.
