The Cajuns are led by senior quarterback Terrance Broadway, who has thrown for 237 yards and three touchdowns, along with sophomore running back Elijah McGuire, who has 129 rushing yards and a touchdown, and senior receiver Jamal Robinson, who has five catches for 112 yards and two touchdowns.

The Bulldogs are paced by senior quarterback Cody Sokol, who has thrown for 191 yards and two touchdowns, along with junior running back Kenneth Dixon, who has 42 rushing yards, and senior receiver Sterling Griffin, who has accumulated 74 receiving yards on seven catches.
