From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jake Delhomme is the Ragin' Cajuns' all-time leader in passing yards and passing touchdowns.
The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns football program in various categories,[1] including passing , rushing , receiving , total offense , defensive stats, and kicking . Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Ragin' Cajuns represent the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in the NCAA 's Sun Belt Conference .
Although Louisiana–Lafayette began competing in intercollegiate football in 1902,[1] the school's official record book considers the "modern era" to have begun in 1949. Records from before this year are often incomplete and inconsistent, and they are generally not included in these lists.
These lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons:
Since 1949, seasons have increased from 10 games to 11 and then 12 games in length.
The NCAA didn't allow freshmen to play varsity football until 1972 (with the exception of the World War II years), allowing players to have four-year careers.
Bowl games only began counting toward single-season and career statistics in 2002.[2] The Ragin' Cajuns have played in five bowl games since this decision (all since 2011), giving many recent players an extra game to accumulate statistics.
These lists are updated through the end of the 2016 season .
