Conference championship games are upon us, and that includes Saturday's Sun Belt title bout between Louisiana and Marshall. They're both 7-1 in-league, but I think one team has a decided edge in this contest.
Louisiana has been incredibly consistent all year long. Their offense is capable of putting up a lot of points, and their defense has, at times, been solid. The Ragin' Cajuns' resume includes a win over ACC foe Wake Forest, and a multi-dimensional look on offense gives them many ways to get the job done.
Marshall, meanwhile, got fairly lucky to get here. They did so with two late victories over Old Dominion and James Madison. In the latter game, Marshall scored 35 points despite just 261 yards of total offense. Quarterback Braylon Braxton does take care of the football, with just two interceptions all year, but he's also not going to outright win too many games with his play.
Louisiana has more ways to win this game, and I think Marshall's luck runs out. Take the Ragin' Cajuns and give a few points.
