To cap a hard fought season in the Sun Belt Conference, the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns host the Marshall Thundering Herd in the 2024 SBC Championship game. It's a matchup of two experienced, fairly evenly matched teams, with the projected spread being just one touchdown between the West Division champion and the East Division champion.Both Louisiana and Marshall can attribute to much of their success this season to solid production from their respective quarterbacks and running backs.
For the Thundering Herd, Tulsa transfer quarterback Braylon Braxton earned Sun Belt Newcomer of the Year Honors, assuming the starting role several weeks into the season. He's 7-0 in that role. Braxton threw for 1,431 yards with 17 touchdowns and only two interceptions in 2024 with 544 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. Marshall running back A.J. Turner has also had a notable season, averaging a league-best 8.3 yards per rush.
Meanwhile, Louisiana backup quarterback Chandler Fields is still performing admirably in place of injured starter Ben Wooldridge. Fields has passed for 793 yards with five touchdowns and only one interception in the Cajuns' last three games. Fields can also lean on UL's talented stable of running backs, that includes four different backs that have averaged over five yards per carry this season.
Meanwhile, the Ragin' Cajuns are into their fifth title game in seven seasons. A win would mark their first SBC title under Michael Desormeaux and their first since 2021.Mountain West Championship - #20 UNLV @ #10 Boise State: How To Watch, Time/Date, StorylinesGame odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.Joe covers college sports from the Group of Five ranks and beyond.
