The TCU Horned Frogs (8-4, 6-3 Big 12) play in their 36th bowl game when they meet the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns (10-3, 7-1 Sun Belt) in the Isleta New Mexico Bowl in Albuquerque. The game is at 1:15 p.m. on Saturday and can be seen on ESPN.

This is the first meeting between the two programs. Over the last 20 seasons, TCU is 11-4 (.733) in bowls, which is the best record of any team with at least ten bowl game appearances over that time.

Through the 12 games of the regular season, Ryann has the best record at 9-3 followed by six of our staff at 8-4. Three of our staff have each come the closest twice during the season.
