UL-Lafayette has a powerhouse backfield of Trey Ragas (405 yards, 7.9 yards per carry) and Raymond Calais (10.1 ypc). As a team, the Ragin Cajuns average 5.9 yards per carry. After playing #1 Alabama and Mississippi State in two of the last three weeks (both on the road), UL-Lafayette steps way down in competition. College football road favorites that average over 4.8 yards per carry are 64-30 ATS in conference tilts against teams that average just 3-to-3.5 yards per carry. They face a 1-3 Texas State squad that is struggling, with four quarterbacks combining for five TDs and five picks and their top two running backs are averaging 3.7 and 3.8 yards per carry. They were a 33-point favorite over Texas Southern and won by just 16 points. The defense allows 30.8 points per game (#89) and they lost 24-7 a year ago to UL-Lafayette averaging just 2.4 yards per carry. Play UL-Lafayette.
