In Napier's final press conference, he made it clear the program is only beginning is still ascending.

"It's not about me, it's about everyone here," said Napier. "I believe this is only the beginning of what this program can do, and it'll be left in more than capable hands."

Today, Louisiana (12-1) moved up 4 spots in both the AP and Coaches Top 25 Poll.

The Cajuns climb up to #16 in the AP, and #17 in the Coaches.

Louisana is expected to play in the R&L Carrier's New Orleans Bowl. An official announcement, along with an opponent, will be released later today.
