The UL Ragin’ Cajuns are largely a homegrown football team with 77 players on the roster from the state of the Louisiana.

UL football coach Billy Napier began and ended his weekly zoom with the area media talking about the impact of Hurricane Ida more than Saturday’s season opener between his No. 23-ranked Ragin’ Cajuns and the No. 21 Texas Longhorns in Austin.

Time will tell how many of the lofty expectations can be achieved, but there’s no denying the 2021 college football season is the most anticipated campaign in the history of the UL Ragin’ Cajuns.
