Gametime 2010: UL Lafayette at Georgia

On Saturday, Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns will face the Georgia Bulldogs at Sanford Stadium in Athens. The game will be televised at 12:21 p.m. ET on The SEC Network and ESPN3.com.

The Ragin’ Cajuns compete in the Sun Belt Conference of the Football Bowl Subdivision. Last year, they finished 6-6 overall and 4-4 in the conference.

Under head coach Mark Richt, the Georgia Bulldogs are 8-1 in season openers and are 38-4 in non-conference games. The Dawgs hope to continue that trend against the Ragin’ Cajuns, a team they have never faced before.

Redshirt freshman Aaron Murray will lead the Dawgs at quarterback, while junior A.J. Green returns at wide receiver and junior Caleb King at running back. Sophomore Washaun Ealey is suspended for this game.

On defense, an all new coaching staff (except Rodney Garner) hope to return the Dawgs to their former glory.
