Ragin Cajuns faced Red Wolves in the regular-season on 2026-10-04. The hosts took the win with a score of 23 to 20. It was a tight affair from start to finish.
And here's the thing, I remember the game state around minute twenty clearly. The visitors looked comfortable then, but the score remained close. By then, the home side had tightened their defence. The final margin of three points reflects that shift.
The hosts have been inconsistent lately. They defeated the 49ers 34 to 7 before the break. Yet they lost heavily to the Trojans, conceding 49. To be fair, they need to stabilize their performances.
The Red Wolves had their own highs and lows recently. They won against the Wolves, scoring 52 points. But they also struggled against the Horned Frogs, managing only 7. That defeat to the Tigers, 24 to 42, showed their vulnerability.
What matters is how the coaches managed the flow. The defensive adjustments in the second half were crucial. It was not about big plays, but about holding the line.
We are left with the final score alone. The hosts held on.
This victory keeps them in contention. The regular-season is long and every point counts. They will look to carry this confidence forward.
