Why Grambling Will Win

Can the Tigers hold up against the run? It struggled a bit too much last year, but if it can keep the Ragin’ Cajuns to under 200 yards, it has a shot to be in the game. Louisiana was 6-0 when running for 200 yards or more and 0-7 when it didn’t - Grambling allowed 176 rushing yards per game.

Why Louisiana Will Win

Can Louisiana take advantage of Grambling mistakes? The Tigers struggled with penalties and had a few too many turnovers. They have a decent offense, but not enough of one to overcome the errors - the experienced Ragin’ Cajun defense has the pass rush to take over the game.

Louisiana vs Grambling: Who Will Win

Louisiana might need a little while to get the offense up to speed, but again, the defense should be in control throughout. Grambling will keep the O moving, but won’t be able to put the puck in the net.
