We are in Week 5 of
college football and today the University of Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns
travel to T-Town to play my beloved Crimson Tide.
ULL last played Bama on
October 6, 1990 on their home turf and lost.
Neither Billy Napier nor Nick Saban were the head coaches. These two schools have played each other 8
times beginning in 1941. The Tide has
won each time.
I’d be a fool if I said
ULL can’t beat Bama, after all, in 1996 the Cajuns knocked off the Texas A&M
Aggies 29-22. That was then, and this is
now.
Louisiana-Lafayette brings its No. 126
rushing defense in the nation to Tuscaloosa to play Saban Murderball. Coach Napier, who
worked at Alabama under Saban on two different occasions, will see his former
mentor dial it down rather than first downing the Cajuns to death.
Against the Bulldogs of Mississippi
State, the Cajuns were pummeled 56-10 with QB Nick Fitzgerald tossing the
pigskin for 243 yards. That tells me Tua
leaves the game early on and Jalen Hurts takes over the offense at the half.
ULL is being paid a guaranteed $1.25
million for this beatdown.
The Cajuns’ mascot “Cayenne” better keep
his head on a swivel lest he find his way into the pot of chili Bama will be
cookin’ up today.
