This game vs. Kansas State means a lot more for UL Lafayette than it does for the Wildcats, as the Ragin Cajuns would love to give the Sun Belt Conference a major boost by knocking off a Big 12 opponent.

Lafayette is quite capable of pulling off the upset too, as Kansas State was life-and-death to escape with a 21-17 win at home last week over a non-lined opponent in Massachusetts. Sure, the Sun Belt conference is an added conference, but at least those games are on the board, meaning that the Cajuns are actually a step up in class for the Wildcats here.

That is bad news considering that Kansas State failed to score in three out of four quarters vs. a supposedly outclassed foe last week, as all 21 points came in the second quarter. In fact, if not for a couple of crucial third-down conversions by the Wildcats on their final drive, the Minutemen would have had the ball with a chance to pull a monumental upset.

The Cajuns also opened with a minor opponent in Southern University, but unlike Kansas State, ULL did what they were supposed to do, coming away with the 42-19 rout. This was a perfect opportunity for Lafayette to break in new quarterback Chris Masson, who completed 18 of 24 passes for a nice 283 yards, as well as new running back Undrea Sails, who also did not disappoint with 114 rushing yards on 19 carries.

We feel the Cajun youngsters gained some valuable experience last week, and we look for UL Lafayette to put up enough points vs. the disappointing Kansas State squad to at the very least cover this touchdown spread.
