Bulldogs add Ragin’ Cajuns to 2010 slate

ATHENS —- The University of Georgia, which has been scrambling to find two opponents to complete its 2010 home football schedule, has found one: the University of Louisiana-Lafayette.

The Bulldogs will play the Ragin’ Cajuns of the Sun Belt Conference in the season opener at Sanford Stadium on Sept. 4, 2010, unless the game is shifted to later in the season to accommodate another opponent, Georgia associate athletics director Arthur Johnson said Monday.

The game will be Georgia’s first against Louisiana-Lafayette, a Division I-A program that went 6-6 last season.

Georgia’s 2010 nonconference schedule also includes games at Colorado and at home against Georgia Tech.

Georgia continues to seek another nonconference home game to fill out the schedule.

“We’ve got a lot of calls out to people,” said Johnson, whose duties include football scheduling. “One of the things I’ve run into is … some people may have more flexibility on the opener than later in the season.”
