The Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns and Troy Trojans meet Saturday in week 10 Sun Belt college football action at Cajun Field. The Troy Trojans look to build on their 5-game winning streak. The Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns look to get a game above a .500 record.

The Troy Trojans have split their last 4 road games. Gunnar Watson is completing 64 percent of his passes for 1,745 yards, 6 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. Tez Johnson and Jabre Barber have combined for 887 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns, while Deshon Stoudemire has 31 receptions. The Troy Trojans ground game is averaging 94.4 yards per contest, and DK Billingsley leads the way with 472 yards and 4 touchdowns. Defensively, Troy is allowing 17.6 points and 329.4 yards per game. Carlton Martial leads the Troy Trojans with 71 tackles, T.J. Jackson has 6.5 sacks and Markeis Colvin has 2 interceptions.

The Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns have won 3 of their last 4 home games. Ben Wooldridge is completing 58.5 percent of his passes for 1,322 yards, 12 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. Michael Jefferson and Neal Johnson have combined for 804 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns, while Jacob Bernard has 10 receptions. The Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns ground game is averaging 125.3 yards per contest, and Chris Smith leads the way with 311 yards and 2 touchdowns. Defensively, Louisiana-Lafayette is allowing 21.5 points and 342.8 yards per game. Jourdan Quibodeaux leads the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns with 62 tackles, Andre Jones has 4.5 sacks and Bralen Trahan has 3 interceptions.

The Trojans are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Ragin’ Cajuns are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The under is 4-1 in Trojans last 5 games overall. The under is 28-13-1 in Ragin’ Cajuns last 42 games overall. The Trojans are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings in UL Lafayette. The favorite is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

The Troy Trojans still don’t have much of an offense to get excited about, but their defense is one of the best in the country, and it’s led to this impressive winning streak. That’s a concern for a Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns club that’s 100th in rushing offense and 83rd in scoring offense. I don’t see much changing for Troy, as the Trojans should give up little to nothing defensively and grind out its sixth straight win and sixth cover in its last seven tries.
