 Under head coach Rickey Bustle, the Ragin' Cajuns continue to be solid with three 6-6 seasons in the last four years, and with a 6-5 campaign the season before that, but at some point it would be nice to be able to beat one of the big boys and get full-on into the Sun Belt title chase. College Football News
The offense that was so dominant for the ground game a few years ago struggled to find its groove last year. It was solid throwing the ball with Chris Masson emerging as a nice passer, but the rushing attack turned into a committee approach that didn't really work. Expect more of the same. Scout.com
There's no question Bustle, a former offensive coordinator at Virginia Tech, has made progress during his time in Lafayette. Lafayette Advertiser
The Cajuns haven't had much of a defense for several years, and it's mystifying. This year, there's depth, size, and experience across the board, there are some decent all-star prospects, and there's plenty of upside. So is this going to finally be the year when it all comes together? Scout.com
Coming off another six-win campaign, their fourth in the past five years, the Ragin' Cajuns enter fall camp still seeking some answers to key questions before opening the season Sept. 4 at Georgia. Lafayette Advertiser
