Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns head coach Mike Desormeaux declares, “We’re playing bowl games, baby!” as the team gears up to face Delaware in Mobile, with postseason momentum on their side after rallying from 2-6 to bowl eligibility.

Dave Schultz spotlights Desormeaux’s leadership, Walker Howard’s return, and why earning a Sun Belt Conference bowl appearance still matters despite opt-outs and national playoff noise. Will the Cajuns’ fiery approach power them past Delaware’s high-octane passing attack?

The analysis continues with Old Dominion’s tough matchup against USF in the Cure Bowl—can Quinn Henicle lead ODU in Colton Joseph’s absence? Dave Schultz also previews Sun Belt basketball’s season tip-off, assessing key injuries and breakout candidates as rivalries heat up. Plus, betting insights, program milestones, and a unique ad-free experience for die-hard Sun Belt fans. Don’t miss this action-packed breakdown of postseason stakes and conference storylines.
