Nevada Wolf Pack (7-5)
Nevada Wolfpack lead by QB Cody Fajado will seek the teams 8th win this season. Cody can be the first ever quarterback to lead the FBS with 2,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards. He leads a Wolfpack attack that has a huge head of steam with 408 rushing yards in their last game. The Wolfpack leads the nation with points off of turn overs with 13.25. 15 seniors will play their final game along with their captain Senior quarterback Cody Fajado.
Louisiana- Lafayette Ragin'Cajuns (8-5)
Coach Mark Hudspeth leads a wide open offense that loves putting big points. His coach on the field is Terrance Broadway a three year starter and 2012 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl MVP. The Ragin Cajuns has won their last 7 of 8 games behind the heady play of their veteran quarterback. Also keep an eye on Elijah McGuire who the SunBelt Conference player of the year that rushed for 1,165 and 14 touchdowns.
Prediction: Both teams boasts of high powered offenses but shaky defense at times especially in the red zone. My prediction is Ragin' Cajuns 35 Wolf Pack 21
