The college football bowl season is now in full swing with five games on Saturday and the Tulane Green Wave and the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin Cajuns will be playing on ESPN at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and the matchup will be starting up at 9 PM and will be streaming live on the WatchESPN website.
Tulane will have some nice pedigree with Nick Montana at quarterback and Louisiana-Lafayette will make their best attempt to stop the passing game from the Green Wave and the matchup will be a New Orleans game in school teams and location and Louisiana-Lafayette comes in as the Sun Belt conference winners tied with Arkansas State after losing to South Alabama and the team is trying to get its ninth win of the season and that would be a school record and quarterback Terrance Broadway comes in with an injury after missing the final game of the season and there is a chance that he could start. Montana could be the man to start for Tulane and while they did not get over 200 yards in two of their last four games of the season, they also lost three of four and now Montana comes in after the team went 5-5 in his games and he had 14 touchdowns this season and Broadway comes into the game as one of the most underrated players at his position, as the team was averaging over 40 points per game with him under center.
