Louisiana's visit to Marshall is a rematch of last season's New Orleans Bowl, a game the Cajuns won, 36-21, in former coach Bill Napier's last game. But this season, it'll be a Sun Belt matchup as Marshall has left Conference USA.

Southern Miss left C-USA , too.

Streaming service and kickoff times were also set for the Cajuns' season opener Sept. 3 against Southeastern Louisiana (6 p.m., ESPN+) and the first road game at Rice (6:30 p.m., ESPN+).
