LAFAYETTE – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Football team has accepted an invitation to play in the 27th 68 Ventures Bowl, facing Conference USA member Delaware, on Wednesday (December 17) in Mobile, Ala.

"The Ragin' Cajuns are extremely excited to participate in the 68 Ventures Bowl," Louisiana Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Bryan Maggard said. "The bowl experience in Mobile, Alabama is second to none and we are very excited to compete against the University of Delaware."

"We are incredibly excited to be playing in the 68 Ventures Bowl in Mobile," Louisiana head coach Michael Desormeaux said. "Our team has worked hard to earn a postseason opportunity, and it makes it even better that it is in such a great location. Mobile was great to us the last time we played in their bowl game, and we look forward to their hospitality again."
