The 23rd edition of the New Orleans Bowl goes down on Saturday at the Caesars Superdome in The Big Easy. This year’s matchup pits the Sun Belt’s Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns against Conference USA’s Jacksonville State Gamecocks.

He’ll go against Michael Desormeaux and a Louisiana team that is making its sixth-straight bowl appearance.
