The Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns have yet to get their offense going through four games, and it’s concerning given that their schedule hasn’t been all that difficult outside of a game against Indiana. The Marshall Thundering Herd are off to a more encouraging start and have shown far more offensive promise, as they have four double-digit scorers through four games. I’ll lay the reasonable chalk with Marshall here.
