Big Red Heads East to Face Old Conference Foe

BEAUMONT, Texas – Lamar University will be in Lafayette, La., Saturday to face one of its oldest rivals in UL Lafayette (at one time known as University of Southwestern Louisiana), the two schools have met 83 times in series history. The series happens to be the second-longest for the Red and White as LU has played only McNeese more than UL Lafayette. With that being said, Saturday’s contest will be the first meeting between the two schools since the 2012-13 season.
