A talent mismatch, this bowl is. Houston was the preseason AAC favorite, stumbled badly out of the gate and recovered somewhat to win five of its last seven games. Louisiana broke even this season in the lesser Sun Belt, Though the Cougars' defense is substandard, QB Clayton Tune tied for the FBS lead with 37 TD passes. Primary target Nathaniel Dell will play despite plans to enter the NFL Draft. The Ragin' Cajuns' top receiver, Michael Jefferson, has bowed out, which adds to the burden on Chandler Fields, a backup for much of the year. If inspired, Houston should win in a walk.
