The Houston Cougars (7-5, 5-3 AAC) and Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns (6-6, 4-4 Sun Belt) square off in the 2022 Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl on Friday in Shreveport, LA. This postseason meeting marks the first time these schools have settled things on the gridiron since the Ragin’ Cajuns upset the Cougars 31-28 in the 2006 season.
Under the direction of Dana Holgorsen, the Cougars hope to string together back-to-back bowl wins in their final game as a member of the American Athletic Conference. Meanwhile, the Ragin’ Cajuns aim for a fourth consecutive bowl win and a +.500 finish to the season under first-year head coach Michael Desormeaux.
