2009 NCAA - La.-Lafayette
The administration doesn't like La.-Lafayette, or Louisiana-Lafayette, or UL-Lafayette, or U-La-La... they prefer 'Louisiana'. The Bookie wants to give it a year to catch on, as it still looks like the rotation will say 'UL-Lafayette' in Vegas or offshore. Whatever you want to call Ricky Bustle's team, call them consistent. The Ragin' Cajuns have won six games in three of the last four seasons, but have still never played in a bowl. This season, they lose stud QB Michael Desormeaux and RB Tyrell Fenroy. It will be interesting to see who emerges. |

Ron Hudson stays on as the offensive coordinator, the first time since 2005 that an OC stays more than one year for Bustle. Hudson won't have to worry about his O-line, which returns intact and is probably the best in the SBC. Three QB's will wage a battle for the job into fall. A RB-by-committee approach could be the way Hudson starts, as well, until one emerges as the man. The defense returns nine starters and could be a real strength. A barrage of injuries forced U-La-La to develop depth, especially at linebacker, where injuries took the biggest toll last fall. The secondary has some speed and skill, but the defense gave up 34 ppg last fall and was gashed for 5.3 yards per carry. |
| ASK the bookie? - U-La-La faces two parts of the schedule that will make things difficult. In September, the Cajuns host K-State before trips to LSU and Nebraska. After a bye and a trip in from North Texas, they play four of their next five SBC games on the road. That will probably seal ULL's fate and keep it out of a bowl once again, though if skill players develop, then don't be surprised if Bustle wins at least six games (again). |
