The Houston Cougars bring a top-13 offense into their Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl matchup with the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns. Read on for our Louisiana-Houston pick and prediction.
Louisiana (6-6, 4-4) did not earn bowl eligibility until the last game of the regular season, beating Texas State 41-13 to get to .500. Houston (7-5, 5-3) comes into this bowl game limping somewhat after losing its regular-season finale, 37-30, to Tulsa as 13-point hom e favorites. The loss followed a stretch of five wins in six games. The Cougars are appearing in their 15th bowl in the last 18 seasons, the most bowl of any school from Texas during that span.
