Tech will be tested on Friday night by a young talented QB in Grayson James that is really starting to come into his own:

Cobe won the dunk contest by jumping over a LadyTechster and dunking a pass from DayDay.

According to FootballOutsiders.com, Tech has the 51st best special teams units in the country out of 131 teams.


2021: 112th
2020: 87th
2019: 88th
2018: 116th
2017: 108th
2016: 63rd

Best special teams we’ve had in a while. Would you agree?

We sure could use a couple of the Troy dance girls on our DL this weekend

@ntruppel takes a look at the ineffectiveness of the FIU passing game:

Through Week 8, Tech ranks 50th nationally in tempo on offense. The Bulldogs are running 2.29 plays per minute.

Louisiana Tech (2-4, 1-1) and Rice (3-3, 1-1) are scheduled to kickoff at 2 PM on Saturday afternoon.

Malcolm Butler & Teddy Allen will have the radio call on KXKZ 107.5 FM. Pregame show starts at 12:30 PM.

The game can be streamed on ESPN+.

BC & Beck will have the Impact Healthcare Solutions Postgame Call-In Show following the conclusion of the game. Call us on the Greg Phillips State Farm Hotline at 800-730-8031.

Tech will honor its 1972 National Championship team at the game on Saturday.

Tech leads the series 9-5 all-time. The Bulldogs are 5-1 against the Owls at The Joe.

The Bulldogs last defeated the Owls 23-20 in OT back in 2019.

Tech is 70-24-2 in homecoming games in its history.

Rice is a 3-point road favorite.

LB Tyler Grubbs, WR Julien Lewis, CB Cedric Woods, DT DJ Jackson, DE Tristan Allen, C Abraham Delfin, & TE Griffin Hebert will miss the game due to injury for Tech.

Rice ranks 35th nationally in total defense. Can the Bulldogs get the offensive attack in rhythm against a very good defensive unit?

Louisiana Tech ranks 131st nationally allowing 264 yards per game on the ground. Can Tech stop the Rice run game?

Need a W. Let's go!!

Let’s go!

Check 'em out:

- Lyddy
- Smoke struggles
- Down 5 starters on defense

I also forgot to mention that Rasheed Lyles missed the game due to the death of his grandmother. She raised him. Whoever planned the funeral planned it for 1 PM yesterday afternoon.

Louisiana Tech and UTEP are set for a 6 PM kickoff on Saturday night.

The game will be on ESPN+ and KXKZ 107.5 FM.

Impact Healthcare Solutions postgame call-in show on KXKZ 107.5 FM following the game. Greg Phillips State Farm Hotline 800-730-8031.

Louisiana Tech is 1-3 overall. UTEP is 3-3 overall.

From a health standpoint: Julien Lewis (Will Play), DJ Jackson (Probable), Josh Mote (Questionable), Cyrus Allen (Doubtful), Solomon Lewis (Doubtful), Cedric Woods (Doubtful)

Parker McNeil will make his 4th career start at quarterback for the Bulldogs. Landry Lyddy has been cleared to play, for those wondering.

Bert Hale will start at LG if Mote is unable to go.

I would expect that you'll start seeing Biron Rossell more often at an offensive tackle spot as a sub. He's finally 100%.

UTEP has run the ball 99 times in the last two weeks. Only 25 passes.

This game will be won at the line of scrimmage, plain and simple. Well, turnovers will matter too.

Tech is a 3-point favorite.

Let's go!!

Let's hear 'em!

Tech 41
Rice 30

Sonny Cumbie, Louisiana Tech: C-​

2022 record: 2-4 | Louisiana Tech's 2021 record: 3-9
Previous job: Texas Tech offensive coordinator (interim head coach for final five games)
Grade when hired: B+

Louisiana Tech's firing of Skip Holtz was a surprise in last year's carousel, as the team had made seven consecutive bowl appearances and had suffered close losses to Mississippi State, SMU and NC State early in 2021. Cumbie brought youth, exciting offense and a Texas pedigree to a program with a strong tradition of quarterback play and producing points. The Bulldogs' offense is starting to show flashes, especially with wide receivers Tre Harris and Smoke Harris as well as tight end Griffin Hebert. Cumbie faced a brutal schedule, with just five home games and four of the first six on the road, including visits to Missouri and Clemson. Louisiana Tech has won both of its home games (Stephen F. Austin and UTEP) and enters a stretch against weaker Conference USA opponents that could result in some success.

Brooke Stoehr’s squad should be really good this season:
