Louisiana completed another 10-win season as a warmup for its appearance in the Sun Belt Conference title game, beating UL-Monroe 30-16 on Saturday. UL-Monroe was prevented from pursuing bowl eligibility in both teams' regular season finales.
Louisiana was able to win without quarterback Ben Woolridge, who had already suffered a broken collarbone, and backup Chandler Fields took over and secured the victory.
Louisiana (10-2, 7-1 in Sun Belt) has already clinched its division and will face Marshall or Georgia Southern in the SBC title game. The Ragin' Cajuns posted three straight 10-win seasons from 2019 to 2021. UL-Monroe (5-7, 3-5) has only appeared in one bowl game and will not appear in one in 2024 despite a 5-1 start.
