Leading the way for the Ragin' Cajuns is the veteran battery of QB Terrance Broadway and WR Jamal Robinson, who have hooked up for six scoring passes on the season. RB Alonzo Harris paces the ULL ground game. WKU will counter with RB Antonio Andrews, who is averaging a healthy 7.1 yards a carry and has nine TDs to date.

QB Brandon Doughty has a solid 67.2% completion rate with WR Willie McNeal serving as his deep threat, but he has ball security issues when under duress. On the defensive side, Cajuns LB Justin Anderson and WKU LB Xavius Boyd will be around the ball often.

Line furnished by Glantz-Culver. Jeff Sagarin's power ratings show the relative strength of teams; 3.69 points were added to the home team's rating to calculate the difference.
