Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Prepare for TCU in New Mexico Bowl

The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (5-7) will unexpectedly face the Army Black Knights (11-2) in the Independence Bowl after Marshall's withdrawal due to player opt-outs. Louisiana Tech will be without four starters, including two in the transfer portal and two sidelined by injuries. Meanwhile, the TCU Horned Frogs (8-4) are set to battle the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns (10-3) in the New Mexico Bowl, where TCU is favored by 10 points. Louisiana aims to bounce back after a loss in the Sun Belt Championship, and this game marks their first-ever matchup against TCU. The Cajuns' standout players include quarterback Chandler Fields and linebacker K.C. Ossai, while TCU will be missing key receivers due to injuries. Both games promise exciting action as teams look to finish the season on a high note.
