Louisiana vs SE Louisiana Game Preview
Why SE Louisiana Will Win
This is another loaded Lion team that should make a push for the FCS playoffs again.
The offense is dangerous – it led the FCS in scoring averaging 45 points per game – thanks to an ultra-efficient passing attack that keeps the chains moving.

It’s not going to be an easy run in the first game of the new season for Michael Desormeaux.
Fortunately for the Ragin’ Cajuns, SE Louisiana is missing just enough to be missing the consistency needed to hold up. Even with all of the lost stars – not to mention Billy Napier – Louisiana will still be efficient and it’ll still be able to move the ball well enough to keep the Lion offense off the field.
It might be the best FBS vs FCS matchup of the day.
