“ Louisiana Tech has allowed me to be a part of a bigger family and not just another number enrolled in a university. Here you are able to have a personal relationship with other students and other professors in your field of study. You have that one-on-one time if you have problems.

– Ray Holley, 2012 Capital One CoSIDA Academic All-American (1st team)
“ One of my best experiences this year has been to study and play tennis at Louisiana Tech University. It was difficult to get away from my family, but here the people are very friendly, fun and help you at all, so now I feel at home. I am very happy in the field of my sport (tennis) because Coach Gomez has helped me during the time that I’ve been here. He does the best he can and helps us to improve our tennis, studies and daily life. ” - Alexandra Starkova, Sophomore (Madrid, Spain)

2013 SEASON PREVIEW
36
It was an offseason of change. For Louisiana Tech, not much has remained the same since the team’s last game on Nov. 24, 2012. In the interim the program lost 32 seniors, nine of 11 coaches including former head coach Sonny Dykes, left the Western Athletic Conference for Conference USA and signed a top-flight recruiting class. No big deal, right? But the train kept rolling as Skip Holtz was hired as the University’s 33rd head football coach last December and quickly assembled an impressive staff of assistant coaches. That staff, which included retaining Stan Eggen and Jeff Koonz, hit the ground running and held together a talented recruiting class that came to fruition. After a series of 15 practices throughout March and April culminating in the T-Day Spring Game, we arrive at the beginning of fall camp with many questions, few answers and plenty of anticipation.
Offense
While most of the offense’s starters were lost to graduation, a 2012 Freshman All-America running back in Kenneth Dixon returns after a rookie campaign where he broke three NCAA records held by Marshall Faulk. Dixon broke into the record books as he led the nation in scoring with 168 points that included an NCAA Freshman record 27 rushing touchdowns. Assisting Dixon in the backfield will be the return of Tevin King, the team’s starting running back in 2012 before a knee injury prematurely ended his season at Illinois on Sept. 22. The question on King is will he be fully recovered from the injury and back into same form where he ran for 369 yards on 46 attempts in four games. Walk-ons Brandon Davis and Marlon Seets also are available to spell Dixon and King with Hunter Lee and Lyle Fitte – both former running backs – able to move back into the back field if needed.

The question of whether Dixon or anyone else can run the ball effectively lies up front with the offensive line, where four out of five starters must be replaced. The only holdover, Matt Shepperd, sat out spring practice after back surgery leading to many questions during the spring. Another player with game experience, Jeremy Graffree, returns from a year off after an Achilles injury and is expected to contribute heavily. Larry Banks also gained game experience last season and will be relied upon. Several 2013 signees are expected to step into pivotal roles including Navarro Junior College product Mitchell Bell and Georgia Military College product Tre Carter. Both join the Bulldogs from the junior college ranks and bring a little maturity and experience. Richard Greenwalt sat out the 2012 season and has become stronger over the past year after joining his brother on the Tech roster while Alec Davis will have the challenging task of replacing Stephen Warner at center after serving as his back-up last season. LA Tech lost both of its starters at the outside receiver position with Quinton Patton and Myles White heading to the NFL and now the team looks to replace – as best it can – the combined 2,110 receiving yards that duo produced last season. D.J. Banks will attempt to lead the outside receivers as one of a handful of seniors on this year’s squad while LSU transfer Paul Turner is expected to start in place of Patton if the NCAA rules him eligible this season, waiving the one-year waiting period. Richie Casey, who is hoping to get a medical sixth year from the NCAA this fall, will be another option to replace Patton. Back on the other side with Banks, redshirt freshman Jaydrick DeClouette is ready for action. The Patterson, La. native spent his true freshman year gaining weight and experience, being mentored by the
venerable Patton. On the inside, the H position is filled with experience as Hunter Lee, Andrew Guillot and Lyle Fitte are all expected to see action there. Guillot, like Casey, is awaiting a final determination from the NCAA regarding a medical sixth year and is hopeful for a positive outcome. All three have plenty of game experience for the Bulldogs. At the Y position, Jon Greenwalt quietly tallied 210 yards receiving on 24 catches with two touchdowns last season and should improve those numbers as he becomes more relied upon. He shined in the T-Day Spring Game at the conclusion of spring practice. Another tall California receiver like Greenwalt, Scott Cathcart has the opportunity to step up in the Y position in spelling Greenwalt during games. The battle for getting the ball to the receivers will continue into fall camp as Scotty Young and Ryan Higgins vie to replace Colby Cameron, the 2012 Sammy Baugh Award winner. Young ended spring practice with a half-step ahead of Higgins but the competition will begin anew when the first practice of camp starts on Aug. 5.
Defense
The defensive line is the most experienced unit returning in 2013, a title that is easy to claim with so many seniors lost from last year’s squad. In fact this unit only lost one player from last year’s team and should anchor Kim Dameron’s defense in the fall. The tackles return a respectable amount of skill with Shakeil Lucas and Justin Ellis leading the charge while Vernon Butler gained valuable experience as a freshman last season and is expected to take a large step forward this fall. DeAngelo Brooks, a Shreveport native that came to Tech by way of a junior college, has the opportunity to make an immediate

Special Teams
F O O T B A L L
On special teams, how do you replace punter Ryan Allen? No player at the FBS level has been as dominant at his position as Ryan Allen was punting the ball over the last two seasons. Allen became the first player ever to win back-to-back Ray Guy Awards and rightfully so as he put up numbers that even video games can’t conjure up. Freshman Logan McPherson will get the task of punting the ball this fall as he joins the program from Fort Payne, Ala. No pressure. At kicker, Jonathan Barnes is another freshman entering the special teams field and he is expected to replace the consistent Matt Nelson. A highly touted kicker out of high school, Barnes set his school’s career field goal record and joins a school that has quietly produced some of the best NFL kickers of the last two decades in Matt Stover, Chris Boniol and Josh Scobee. D.J. Banks, a 2013 Paul Hornung Award Watch List honoree, is expected to return kicks and punts this season after setting a single-season record for kickoff return yards last year. He had one return for a touchdown in 2012 marking the seventh-consecutive season a Bulldog has returned a punt or kickoff for a touchdown. Josh Cuthbert, so far infallible in his position, returns as the team’s deep snapper for his redshirt senior season.
Tech only faces two teams in 2013 that it faced in 2012: Rice and UTSA, the latter of which was a Western Athletic Conference opponent last season. LA Tech opens the season at NC State on Aug. 31, another team that is going through a coaching transition, before returning home to host two games in less than seven days with Lamar (Sept. 7) and Tulane (Sept. 12) visiting Joe Aillet Stadium. The latter of which will be LA Tech’s annual RED OUT game and will be televised on Fox Sports 1 (FS1) to a national audience. The Bulldogs take on Kansas on Sept. 21 before heading to Dallas to play in the historic Cotton Bowl against Army in the Heart of Dallas Classic. The Conference USA schedule then begins in full force with seven consecutive league games starting with playing at UTEP on Oct. 15. Homecoming is set for Oct. 19 as the Bulldogs host the Mean Green of North Texas before heading to Miami on Oct. 26 to play FIU. A Rivalry in Dixie is renewed once again on Nov. 9 as LA Tech plays host to Southern Miss before traveling to Houston to face Rice on Nov. 16. Last year’s league and West Division Champion Tulsa visits Joe Aillet Stadium on Nov. 23 in the final home game of the year and the Bulldogs will wrap up the regular season on Nov. 30 at UTSA.

lege transfers that were in Ruston for spring practice currently lead the way. Nick Thomason is slated to start at the MIKE linebacker position with Mike Schrang continuing to improve in his transition from safety. At the WILL linebacker, Mitch Villemez impressed during spring practice and leap-frogged Beau Fitte for a starting spot but that is another battle that will be renewed once fall practice starts.

impact as defensive line coach Stan Eggen prefers to roll his players in and out quickly to keep speed and athleticism at its peak on the field. At defensive end, IK Enemkpali was a 2012 First Team All-WAC selection and enters the fall as a Rotary Lombardi Award watch lister. He led the team in tackles for a loss (7.5-49) and sacks (6.0-46) last season and could expand on that this fall. A mixture of Kevin Kisseberth and Andre Taylor should back him up, both of whom gained experience last fall. Kendrick James should start on the other side with Vontarrius Dora challenging him for playing time. Dora got most of the starts last year with James academically ineligible for the first 10 games but then sustained a shoulder injury as James returned. Both James and Dora bring plenty of experience, athleticism and speed to the position. After the front four comes little experience with the most being in the secondary. Le’Vander Liggins played most of last year at cornerback while Bryson Abraham should start on the other side with Adairius Barnes challenging him for playing time. All three registered plenty of playing time in 2012. Kentrell Brice and Kendall Hayes should battle each other at strong safety but neither has played the position much in live action. Both players gained quality reps on special teams last season and worked at the position through spring practice. There is a bigger question at free safety as Lloyd Grogan could be the starter but has never played in a collegiate game. Meanwhile C.J. Cleveland will back him up bringing some game experience at the junior college level. The final position in the secondary could be a nickel back but could also transform into a third linebacker if the team needs to be in a 4-3 formation. At nickel, Jabari Prewitt ended spring practice as the choice but that position battle will be reopened with an influx of newcomers this fall. At linebacker, two junior col-

dramatic school-record attendance increases at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. While the initial success in 2005 relied heavily on a wide-open offensive assault, it was a no-nonsense and fundamentally-sound defensive effort that launched the Pirates back into college football’s competitive arena a year later. Holtz followed by using a combination of both in 2007, offering a well-balanced offense and a run-stopping, ball-hawking defense to lead East Carolina to its highest Conference USA win total in school history at that time. The Pirates ended up just one victory shy of earning a berth in the league championship game, despite playing one of the toughest schedules in program history, which was loaded with four Bowl Championship Series members. In addition to guiding ECU to its first postseason win since 2000 with a 41-38 victory over No. 24 Boise State in the Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl, Holtz fine-tuned the efforts of running back Chris Johnson, who was college football’s national statistical champion in allpurpose yards. Johnson also became the program’s second first-round draft choice (first since 1992) when the Tennessee Titans selected him with their initial pick in April, 2008. Johnson went on to be named the 2009 NFL Offensive Player of the Year. In 2008, Holtz earned Conference USA Coach of the Year honors, while leading the Pirates to a spot in the Conference USA Championship game. ECU defeated Tulsa to claim the program’s first conference title in 32 years, earning a bid to the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. During that season, Holtz led the Pirates to a No. 14 ranking in the polls and victories over No. 17 Virginia Tech and No. 8 West Virginia. Holtz continued his success at East Carolina in 2009, leading the Pirates to a second consecutive Conference USA Championship. They became the first team in C-USA Championship game history to post consecutive victories. Prior to his time in Greenville, Holtz spent six seasons at South Carolina. He wore several hats during his tenure with the Gamecocks, coaching the quarterbacks his first four seasons, before handling the tight ends in 2003 and then returning to guide the signal-callers in `04. He displayed his allaround abilities as a coach in working closely with the Gamecock offense in addition to handling a variety of duties as assistant head coach under his father, the legendary Lou Holtz. While at South Carolina, Holtz was recognized as an Assistant Coach-of-theYear in 2001 by the All-American Football Foundation. That year, the Gamecocks ranked second in the Southeastern Conference in rushing offense, and under Holtz’s tutelage, senior Phil Petty went on to lead South Carolina to 17 victories in his last 23 starts, including back-to-back Outback Bowl wins over Ohio State in 2001 (24-7) and `02 (31-28). Holtz came to South Carolina after a successful five-year stint as head coach at fellow BIG EAST school, Connecticut. While at UConn, he led the Huskies to their best season in school history, up to that point, in 1998 and was recognized as one of the top young coaching talents in the country. Holtz has been credited for developing high-powered and prolific offenses throughout his coaching career. During his last season at Connecticut, he led the Huskies to a thenschool-record 10 victories and an appearance in the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs. His team ranked 11th nationally in scoring offense, averaging nearly 36 points per game. During his five-year tenure as head coach at UConn, Holtz guided the Huskies’ program to national top 25 rankings the last four seasons and unprecedented success in the school’s 100-year football history, which

Former Louisiana Tech University President Dr. Dan Reneau introduced former University of South Florida coach Skip Holtz as the 33rd head football coach at Louisiana Tech during a press conference on Friday, Dec. 14, 2012 in the Jarrell Room of the Charles Wyly Athletic Center. Holtz had spent the past three seasons as the head football coach at the University of South Florida. He has also served as the head coach at the University of Connecticut and East Carolina University where he won back-to-back Conference USA titles with the Pirates in 2008 and 2009. He also led his teams to five consecutive post-season bowl games between 2006 and 2010. “I am extremely excited about the opportunity to have a coach of the caliber and experience of Skip Holtz leading our football program into the future,” said Reneau. “The success he has had throughout his career as a head coach is solid and will offer a unique opportunity for our student-athletes to learn from one of the best.” “It’s a privilege to welcome Coach Holtz and his family to Louisiana Tech and to the Louisiana Tech Family.” Holtz was hired following a national search led by Louisiana Tech President-Elect Dr. Les Guice. He takes over for former head coach Sonny Dykes who resigned last week to accept the head coaching job at the University of California. Holtz’s hire is pending approval from the University of Louisiana System’s Board of Supervisors. The entire search committee comprised of Dr. James Liberatos, chair of the Athletics Council and faculty athletics representative, and dean of the College of Applied and Natural Sciences; Steve Davison, Athletics Council member and Louisiana Tech alumnus; Bruce Van De Velde, athletics director; Dr. Jim King, vice president for student affairs; Dr. Terry McConathy, vice president for academic affairs; and William Dearmon, student government president, assisted Guice in the identification and vetting of candidates. “Coach Holtz is a talented coach with a solid record of success and experience,” said Guice. “He has great knowledge of the game, tremendous character, exceptional leadership abilities, and a professional approach that will serve him well as head coach at Louisiana Tech. “I am confident that Coach Holtz can continue the positive trajectory of our football program as we move into Conference USA and our fans can expect to see an exciting brand of football.” Holtz has participated in 15 postseason games in his coaching career, including seven as a head coach and eight as an assistant coach. Of the seven games as head coach, five occurred in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and two occurred in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). “Our football team and student body each presented our committee with a list of characteristics they would like to see in Tech’s next head coach,” said Davison. “We agreed and are very confident that Coach Holtz meets and greatly exceeds all of these characteristics.” “Coach Holtz is absolutely the right
person for Louisiana Tech,” said Liberatos. “It is clear to me that he will continue to move our program to higher levels of success, both academically and athletically.” In his first season at South Florida, Holtz promptly led the Bulls to their fifth consecutive eightwin season, making them one of just 15 teams nationally that had won at least eight games during that timespan and one of only 10 teams in BCS leagues to accomplish the feat. In addition, USF played in its sixth consecutive bowl game, a 31-26 victory over Clemson in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. At the time, USF was one of just six programs nationally that had reached postseason play in each year as a BCS league member. In addition, with the victory, USF was one of just four programs that had won three consecutive bowl games. In 2010, USF accomplished numerous firsts under Holtz. The Bulls won at Cincinnati and at Louisville for the first time in program history and beat Rutgers in Tampa for the first time. In addition, USF traveled to Miami and defeated the Hurricanes in an overtime thriller, 23-20, marking the Bulls first win over Miami in program history. The 2011 season showed major improvement on the field, if not in the record, as USF finished 5-7 thanks to numerous heartbreaking defeats. After starting 4-0, including a huge win at Notre Dame to open the season, the Bulls dropped six of their final seven games by a combined 28 points or 4.7 points per game. Included in those six losses were four 3-point defeats, three of which came on the final play of the game. USF was the only team in the nation that lost three games at the final gun. Looking passed the wins and losses, the Bulls improved in virtually every statistical category, especially on offense. USF improved its national ranking in total offense 75 spots from 2010 to 2011, the largest jump of any school in the country. The biggest improvement came in the passing game, where USF improved by 85 yards per game. Only two teams saw a greater jump in the passing offense national rankings. In addition, the Bulls improved 39 spots in rushing offense. Defensively, the Bulls finished second nationally in TFL and fourth in sacks and in the top 40 in run defense, total defense and scoring defense. Holtz went to USF after five seasons at East Carolina, where he won back-to-back Conference USA Championships in 2008 and `09 and finished with a 38-27 record. Holtz also spent five years as head coach at Connecticut, where he amassed a 34-23 record. Holtz led ECU to unprecedented heights, including four-straight winning seasons, a quartet of bowl game appearances and the back-to-back league crowns. A once-proud program, Holtz quickly revived the Pirates, which had stumbled to record just three wins in a 25-game period in the two-plus seasons prior to his arrival in 2005. He promptly instilled a sense of pride, commitment, character and discipline into a Pirate team that went on to reward its loyal and passionate fan base with the school’s first-ever run of four consecutive bowl invitations and the program’s first four-year streak of winning seasons since the 1970s. The drastic turnaround at ECU, which included a 7-6 finish in 2006, an 8-5 ledger in 2007, a 9-5 mark in 2008 and another nine-win campaign in 2009, coincided with

provided a firm foundation for the school’s eventual move to the FBS level in 2002. The success Holtz earned on the field at Connecticut during his first head coaching tenure was matched by his involvement in the community as a successful speaker, clinician and humanitarian - often donating his time and effort to many charitable and educational organizations. He served as the honorary chairman for Camp Courant in Hartford for four consecutive years, helping fund-raising efforts to send more than 1,000 under-privileged area children to recreational and educational camps during the summer. Holtz was also actively involved with the American Diabetes Association, serving as an honorary chairman and member of the Board of Trustees for two years. Holtz was honored in 1996 with the National Football Foundation Man-of-the-Year Award and was a member of the Foundation’s ethics committee. He was also the recipient of the Franciscan Life Center’s St. Francis Award in 1995, an honor given for his dedication and support of Christian values and outstanding athletic achievements. Prior to taking the head coaching job at UConn, Holtz worked on the offensive staff under his father at Notre Dame. He spent four years at Notre Dame and served as the Fighting Irish’s offensive coordinator during the 1992 and `93 seasons. During those years, Holtz was in charge of one of the country’s most potent offensive attacks - a period in which the Irish compiled a 21-2-1 record. The 1992 Notre Dame offense ranked third nationally in total offense, averaging better than 470 yards per game. The 1993 Irish offense, despite the loss of All-America running backs Jerome Bettis and Reggie Brooks, ended the season ranked No. 9 in scoring offense (36.6 points per game). During Holtz’s two seasons as offensive coordinator at Notre Dame, the Irish offense averaged nearly 37 points per game. Holtz has also served on the coaching staffs at Florida State and Colorado State. While serving on Bobby Bowden’s FSU staff in 1987 and `88, the Seminoles rolled to a 22-2 record, captured the Sugar and Fiesta Bowl titles and earned a No. 2 and No. 3 national rank, respectively. In all, he has been involved in eight New Year’s Day bowl games during his coaching career. Prior to his stint at South Carolina, the overall record of teams he had been associated with as an assistant coach was an impressive 67-15-2. Born March 12, 1964, in Willimantic, Conn., Louis “Skip” Holtz spent the first two years of his life in Connecticut, while his father served as the top football assistant on the Huskies’ staff from 1964-65. He was a prep quarterback at Fayetteville (Ark.) High School, while his father was the head coach at the University of Arkansas. He attended Holy Cross Junior College in South Bend, Ind., for two years before transferring to Notre Dame in 1984. Holtz earned his bachelor’s degree in business management in 1986 and was a football letterwinner for the Irish that same year, appearing in all 11 games as a special teams member and backup flanker. Skip and his wife, Jennifer, are the parents of three children: Louis Leo (Trey) Holtz III, Chad Fitzgerald Holtz and Hailey Elizabeth Holtz.

Louisiana Tech head coach Skip Holtz announced on Jan. 17, 2013 that Ronnie Bradford has joined the staff as cornerbacks coach and special teams coordinator. Bradford was most recently the safeties coach for Memphis during the 2011 season when the Tigers registered 12 interceptions returned for 161 yards and 30 pass break-ups for a total of 42 passes defended. The Memphis defense forced and recovered 18 fumbles that season. Cornerbacks/Special Teams “Ronnie Bradford brings a different dimension to our staff because Coordinator of his 10 years of playing experience in the National Football League,” said @LockDown Holtz. “His NFL coaching background and his experience in special teams are the things that really attracted me to him.” Prior to his short stint in Memphis, Bradford spent one season with the University of California football staff in 2010 as an administrative assistant on the defensive side of the ball. The Cal defense led the Pac-10 and ranked in the top 25 nationally in per-game averages for sacks (2.83 spg, No. 13), total defense (319.08 ypg, No. 18) and pass defense (187.00 ypg, No. 21) during his one season with the program. Cal was also second in the conference in opponents’ third down conversion percentage (34.7 percent). The team’s pass efficiency defense and scoring defense, which held opponents to 17 points or less in eight of 12 games, were both third in the Pac-10, as well as 31st and 40th nationally. “I am excited about the opportunity to join the staff at Louisiana Tech,” Bradford said. “I have watched the great platform that this program has built the last few years and I am looking forward to helping the program sustain the success it has recently had. Coach Holtz is putting together a great staff and I am really excited about working with such great kids on this team.” Before he joined the collegiate coaching ranks, Bradford was a seven-year assistant coach in the NFL. He was a defensive assistant with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2009 and prior to that he spent six years on the Denver Broncos staff, where he served in a variety of capacities both on defense and special teams. In his final year in Denver in 2008, Bradford coached the team’s defensive backs, mentoring a group that featured nine-time Pro Bowl and three-time first-team All-Pro selection cornerback Champ Bailey, and two-time Pro Bowl pick Dré Bly. He spent the 2004-06 campaigns as Denver’s special teams coach and was the club’s assistant special teams coach in 2003. Over that four-year span, the Broncos qualified for the postseason on three different occasions, including the 2005 campaign when Denver reached the AFC Championship Game. During that same four-year time frame, kicker Jason Elam ranked third in the NFL in both made field goals (107) and points scored (479). Bradford also played for 10 seasons in the NFL with Denver (1993-95), Arizona (1996), Atlanta (1997-2001) and Minnesota (2002). He was a member of the Falcons’ squad that claimed the 1998 NFC title and advanced to Super Bowl XXXIII, where he registered an interception off Broncos’ quarterback John Elway. Bradford played in 133 regular season NFL games, accumulating 523 tackles, 13 interceptions that he returned for 65 yards and one TD, 2.0 sacks (-19 yards), 70 passes defended, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Bradford was a two-year starter and four-year letterwinner in college at Colorado and was a first-team All-Big 8 selection as a senior in 1992. As a sophomore, he helped guide the Buffaloes to an appearance in the National Championship game versus Notre Dame, where he blocked a PAT attempt in the final minutes to preserve a 10-9 victory at the Orange Bowl. He graduated from Colorado in 1995. He is married to the former Trish Mortenson and the couple has three children: Tony (16), Kaylee (14) and Justin (10).

DAMERON
Defensive Coordinator/Safeties @CoachDameron
Louisiana Tech head football coach Skip Holtz announced on Feb. 19, 2013 that Kim Dameron has been hired as the team’s defensive coordinator. Dameron, an experienced and creative defensive coach who has been responsible for several of the nation’s top defenses, joins the Louisiana Tech Family after spending two years at Cornell, serving as safeties coach in 2011 and defensive coordinator during the 2012 campaign. “Kim Dameron brings a lot of experience with 14 years as a defensive coordinator,” Holtz said. “On a personal level, I have known him for a long time as he played and began his coaching career under my father at Arkansas. From a recruiting standpoint, he brings great ties to the area to our program and I am excited to have him on our staff.” He joined the Cornell staff in the spring of 2011 and had previously

worked with Big Red head coach Kent Austin for two seasons at Ole Miss. “My wife and I are extremely excited to come back to North Louisiana and the Ark-La-Tex area,” Dameron said. “I have known about Louisiana Tech for years and its reputation nationally, along with the school joining Conference USA with a new head coach in Skip Holtz, makes this a very exciting opportunity. I have had a smile on my face since the first day I got here and I don’t expect that smile to come off my face anytime soon.” In his first season with the Big Red in 2011, Dameron relied on a pair of first-year safeties, Josh Barut and Andrew Nelson, to do a bulk of the work. He helped develop the duo quickly, with both ranking among the top 12 in tackles in Ivy League games in 2011. His young defense was gutted due to injuries, only putting his starting unit on the field for one complete half all season. Despite that, his defense allowed 10 points or fewer in two of the team’s first three games of the year. Cornell’s top 12 tacklers were all underclassmen, with its top four all coming from the freshmen and sophomore classes. Dameron spent three seasons with Ole Miss as safeties coach and saw two of his charges drafted by the NFL. In 2009, his pass defense unit ranked 11th in the NCAA in pass efficiency defense and 15th in pass defense. In the season prior to his arrival, the Rebels ranked 12th in the SEC in total defense and 11th in scoring defense, marks that jumped to fifth-best after his first season. Prior to his arrival at Ole Miss, Dameron had served three seasons as defensive coordinator at Louisiana-Monroe. During his time there, ULM became bowl eligible for the first time in 2007 and won at Alabama. His 2006 squad allowed the fewest points in the Sun Belt and ranked third nationally in turnovers gained and ninth in interceptions. Dameron had previous stops as defensive coordinator at Stephen F. Austin and Eastern Illinois for nationally ranked Football Championship Subdivision programs, as well as at Cincinnati for a Bowl Championship Subdivision bowl team in 1997. Like Austin, Dameron spent time in the Canadian Football League as the secondary coach for the Toronto Argonauts in 1999. That squad ranked first nationally in the CFL in total defense, scoring defense and passing defense. It was second in rushing defense. Dameron began his coaching career as a graduate assistant under Lou Holtz at his alma mater, Arkansas, after earning his degree. Dameron was a four-year player for Lou Holtz from 1979-82 at defensive back and wide receiver. As a Razorback, he participated in four bowl games, including the 1979 Sugar Bowl, and was named Southwest Conference Defensive Player of the Week for his performance against Texas A&M in 1979. He then continued his coaching career at Missouri State, managing the defensive secondary and special teams from 1986-91. The Bears were the 1989 and 1990 Gateway Conference champions. The 1989 squad was an NCAA quarterfinalist, while the 1990 squad advanced to the NCAA first round of the I-AA playoffs. After spending 1992 as the defensive secondary coach at UNLV alongside Louisiana Tech defensive line coach Stan Eggen, Dameron served as the defensive coordinator at Murray State from 1993-95. The Racers won the 1995 Ohio Valley Conference championship. That year MSU was nationally ranked third in total defense, second in pass efficiency defense, 10th in rushing defense, and sixth in scoring defense. He coached first team AllAmerican defensive back William Hampton. Dameron moved on to Cincinnati in 1996 to take a position as the defensive secondary coach. The 1996 squad ranked 13th nationally in total defense and 14th in pass efficiency defense. In 1997, he was promoted to defensive coordinator. The Bearcats won the 1997 Humanitarian Bowl, defeating Utah State. That season the defense was ranked fifth nationally in rushing defense and 33rd in total defense. In 1998, he added special teams and academic liaison duties. Four former Bearcats under Dameron’s tutelage went on to the NFL. Dameron and his wife, Debbie, have one daughter, Krystle.

It was also the first road shutout since 1988 (a span of 225 games). The Bulldogs success defensively led the program to the 2008 Independence Bowl title as LA Tech defeated Northern Illinois 17-10, the first bowl victory in more than three decades.

Louisiana Tech head football coach Skip Holtz announced on Jan. 24, 2013 that Matt Moore has joined the staff as the offensive line coach and assistant head coach. Moore comes to Louisiana Tech after spending a year at Middle Tennessee State where the Blue Raiders went 8-4 and upset Atlantic Coast Conference Coastal Division Champion Georgia Tech. He brings a wealth of experience in the spread offense philosophy as he has coached it his Assistant Head Coach/ entire career. “I am very excited to have Matt Moore join our staff,” said Holtz. “He Offensive Line is an energetic, hungry coach with a strong spread offense background that will complement the rest of our offensive staff well.” The Blue Raider offensive line finished the season second in the nation in fewest sacks allowed while Middle Tennessee was 46th nationally in rushing with three different 100-yard rushers. MTSU topped the 200-yard rushing mark in five of the team’s 12 games while Moore’s unit paved the way for true freshman Jordan Parker to set a school freshman rushing record of 851 yards on the year. “I am really excited to join the Louisiana Tech Family,” Moore said. “This group may have lost four seniors from last year but we still return some athletes that I am really looking forward to working with. Coach Holtz’s enthusiasm and background, along with what this University and community has to offer, made this a wonderful opportunity for both myself and my family.” A veteran at the high school and collegiate coaching ranks, Moore joined the Blue Raider staff after serving the previous five seasons as offensive line coach at Texas Tech. Moore’s offensive line at Texas Tech in 2011 helped the Red Raiders to rank 7th nationally in passing (345.4), 13th in total offense (470.6), and 22nd in scoring (33.8). In 2010, Moore’s relatively inexperienced unit allowed TTU to throw for 4,146 yards to rank 7th nationally and 15th in total offense while making a big improvement in the running game. The results ended in a TicketCity Bowl win over Northwestern. In 2009, Moore faced his most difficult coaching task since joining the Red Raiders as he was forced to replace three starters on the line from 2008, including two All-Americans. His unit showed continuing improvement over the course of the season which culminated in an Alamo Bowl victory over Michigan State. A better season couldn’t have been scripted for Moore’s offensive line in 2008 as three players earned All-America status, including Rylan Reed and Brandon Carter, who were named to the Walter Camp and AFCA first teams. Carter also was named to The Sporting News first team, while Louis Vasquez picked up AP third-team honors. Each also was named to various Big 12 All-Conference teams. The offensive line proved to be the catalyst of the 2008 offensive unit, allowing a single sack per every 54 pass attempts, a number that led the nation. Additionally, the group paved the way for 28 rushing touchdowns, the second-most in school history and the most since the 1993 team tallied 30. The Red Raiders picked up another NCAA passing title that season as Graham Harrell led an offense that accumulated 413.2 yards per game through the air. Harrell went on to win the Unitas Award and was fourth in Heisman voting at season’s end. Moore’s unit turned in a successful season in 2007, allowing a slim 18 sacks in 763 pass attempts. The ratio of one sack per every 44 pass attempts led the country. Additionally, Vasquez and Reed showed discipline and poise as both were flagged only once each for holding calls. The duo also allowed only three sacks on the season. Behind the protection of the offensive line, Texas Tech won its fifth NCAA passing title in the Mike Leach era in 2007. The Red Raiders averaged 470.3 yards per game through the air, and quarterback Graham Harrell led the nation in passing and won the Sammy Baugh Award as the country’s top quarterback. Moore came to Tech with one year of collegiate coaching experience at Troy, where he helped lead the Trojans to an 8-5 season in 2006, including a New Orleans Bowl Championship over Rice. Moore’s stint on the collegiate level was preceded by successful runs as a coach at the high school level in Georgia and Alabama, where he quickly established himself as a top prep coach. During six seasons as offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Hoover (Ala.) High School, Moore helped lead the Buccaneers to three consecutive Class 6A titles and a 77-7 record. He began his coaching career at Pickens (Ga.) High School in 1996 and continued at Hoover High School after two seasons. Moore served as head coach at North Gwinnett (Ga.) High School, before joining the staff at Troy. A native of Canton, Ga., Moore played at Valdosta (Ga.) State, where Leach was the offensive coordinator. He started 34 games during the 1991-94 seasons at left guard and was a first-team All-Gulf South Conference selection as a senior. Moore received his bachelor’s degree from VSU in health and physical education. He and his wife, Kelly, have three daughters - Tanner, Reece and Sutton.

Louisiana Tech head football coach Skip Holtz announced on Jan. 16, 2013 that Tony Petersen has been named the team’s new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. A record-setting quarterback at Marshall, Petersen joins the Louisiana Tech Family after serving as the co-offensive coordinator at Marshall for three seasons in the second of two stints at his alma mater. He comes to Ruston with over 20 years coaching experience at the NCAA Division Offensive Coordinator/ I level. Quarterbacks “Tony comes from one of the most prolific offenses in the country @TonyPeterson17 this year and behind that he brings over 20 years of experience,” Holtz said. “He has had success as a coordinator in the Big Ten Conference and brings a background of wide open offenses and an exciting style of play. I am excited to have someone with such a strong background join my staff and continue the successful style of offense Louisiana Tech is nationally known for.” Peterson’s third season on Doc Holliday’s staff at Marshall proved to be his best as he mentored sophomore quarterback Rakeem Cato to an incredible 2012 campaign. The Herd’s signal-caller became the first underclassman in Conference USA history to earn its MVP honor and was the first Herd player to win the award since the school joined the league in 2005. Cato led the nation in completions/game (33.83) and passing yards/game (350.08) and finished third in TD passes (37), fourth in completion percentage (69.5) and fifth in total offense/game (352.67). He also led C-USA in pass efficiency (147.1). The Miami native’s 66.2% career completion mark (588-of-888) is currently a school record, just ahead of Herd legends Chad Pennington (65.1) and Byron Leftwich (63.4). As co-coordinator, Petersen’s offense led the league in scoring offense, passing offense, total offense, pass efficiency, third down conversions and first downs. In the latter two categories, Marshall ranked second nationally. “I am really excited to join the Louisiana Tech Family,” Petersen said. “This is a great program that has done well with a wide open offense. I am excited to continue the standard that has been set and to run a system that was similar to our style of play at Marshall. I look forward to doing everything I can to keep it rolling. I know we lost some senior playmakers but we also have a lot of players ready to take their spot. My goal is to keep this offense high in the national rankings like it has been.” Prior to his second stint at Marshall, Petersen spent the 2009 season as the assistant head coach and wide receivers coach at the University of South Dakota. He spent the previous two seasons as quarterbacks coach at Iowa State University. Under Petersen, Iowa State quarterback Bret Meyer finished his Cyclone career in 2007 with school record totals for passing yards and total offense. Prior to coaching at Iowa State, Petersen coached at the University of Minnesota. Petersen served as co-offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach and eventually the passing coordinator at Minnesota. Quarterback Bryan Cupito set the new all-time leading passing mark under Petersen. In 2006, the Gophers had a 2,000-yard passer for a fifth straight year, a school record. Petersen also played a crucial role in the progress of Asad Abdul-Khaliq at Minnesota as the quarterback rewrote the Gophers’ record books. During Petersen’s eight seasons in his first stint at Marshall, the Thundering Herd qualified for the postseason eight straight times, winning national championships in 1992 and 1996 and Mid-American Conference titles in both 1997 and 1998. Peterson served as wide receivers coach in 1992 and helped in the development of future three-time Super Bowl Champion Troy Brown. Peterson served as quarterbacks coach for five of his previous eight years at MU and worked as the offensive coordinator in 1998. In that capacity, he coached future NFL quarterbacks Chad Pennington and Byron Leftwich. As a player at Marshall, Petersen was named the 1988 Southern Conference Athlete of the Year and the Southern Conference Offensive Player of the Year in 1987. A free agent signee of the Minnesota Vikings in 1989, Petersen set 16 Southern Conference single-season and career records in passing and total offense, to go along with six Marshall single-season school marks. He threw a record 35 touchdown passes in 1987. Petersen also set NCAA records for most passes in a game without an interception (68) and for most regular season games (11) with more than 200 yards passing. Petersen also played for the Thundering Herd baseball program. Petersen went to Marshall after a stellar career at Delta Community College in Stockton, Calif. He was drafted by the Kansas City Royals after his first season at Delta C.C. Petersen earned his bachelor’s degree in 1988 and master’s degree in 1995, both from Marshall. He and his wife Beth have three children: Andy, Nikki Nelson and Taylor.

One of the most prolific quarterbacks in NCAA history and one of the most decorated in Louisiana Tech history will join Skip Holtz staff as eight-year NFL veteran Tim Rattay beginning in 2013 coaching the outside receivers. “Tim brings a vast experience around the game of football,” Skip Holtz said. “His father was a high school coach so he grew up around the game. He was a college player and then played 10 years professionally and has had the opportunity to coach at the professional level the last few years. He Outside Receivers is a Louisiana Tech guy; this is his school, this is where he played and this is where he wanted to be. I am really excited we have the opportunity to give him the chance to get into college coaching at his home at Louisiana Tech.” Rattay joins the LA Tech staff after spending the past two seasons as the wide receivers coach for the United Football League’s (UFL) Las Vegas Locomotives. He is a member of the Louisiana Tech Athletics Hall of Fame as he was enshrined as part of the Class of 2007. “I am super excited to get back to Louisiana Tech,” Rattay said. “It is a place that has given me so much and it is a program on the rise. So many good things have happened to Tech in the last 10 years and there are a lot of good things still to come for Louisiana Tech Football. I am just glad to be a part of it and I want to thank Skip Holtz for the opportunity to come back home.” Rattay returns to his alma mater where he rewrote the Louisiana Tech record books while permanently etching his name in the NCAA record books during his three-year career with the Bulldogs from 1997 through 1999. Spurned by most Division I programs due to his undersized stature, Rattay possessed an uncanny ability to dissect defenses with his pin-point accuracy and exploded onto the national scene in 1997 as he passed for 358 yards and three scores in the Bulldogs 30-23 win over Bowling Green. It was just the beginning of a three-year run in Ruston that saw Rattay earn two NCAA Total Offense titles while passing for 12,746 yards and 115 touchdowns. His collegiate career ended with him owning every LA Tech passing and total offense record while ranking No. 2 in NCAA history in total offense (12,618), No. 2 in passing touchdowns and No. 2 in passing yards. While the Phoenix, Arizona native led Tech to 23 wins, including memorable victories over Alabama (twice) and California, arguably his biggest moment came when he combined with Troy Edwards to embarrass the defending national champion Nebraska Cornhusker’s defense as he passed for 590 yards and four scores in the inaugural Eddie Robinson Classic in 1998. Following his collegiate career, the All-American was selected in the seventh round of the 2000 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers where he spent eight years in the league with the 49ers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Arizona Cardinals before retiring from the NFL in 2007. During his NFL career, Rattay recorded a number of impressive performances, including breaking the 49ers single game completions record with 38 in a 31-28 win over the Arizona Cardinals in 2004 (Joe Montana held the previous mark with 37). He also became the only player in NFL history to throw three consecutive passes all going for touchdowns, a feat he accomplished while with the Cardinals in 2007. He led the Buccaneers to the franchises biggest comeback ever. Trailing eventual NFC champion Chicago by 21 points in the third quarter on Dec. 17, 2006, he tossed three fourth quarter touchdowns to send the game into overtime where the Bears eventually won 34-31. Rattay is also one of only three 7th-round or undrafted quarterback since 1995 to pass for more than 400 yards in a game, joining Matt Cassel and Tony Romo. Following the completion of his NFL career, Rattay spent two seasons playing for the UFL’s Locomotives where he served as the backup in 2010 and the starter in 2011 before suffering a season-ending injury. In 2012 Rattay spent the year as the wide receivers coach for the franchise. Rattay earned his bachelor’s degree from Louisiana Tech in 2001. He is married to the former Allison Walker, who was a Louisiana Tech volleyball player during her college days. The couple has three kids: Riley, Taylor and Sloane.

Joe Aillet Stadium has been home to Louisiana Tech football for the past 40-plus years as Bulldog fans have watched legends such as Terry Bradshaw, Roger Carr, Fred Dean, Pat Tilley, Matt Dunigan, William Roaf, Troy Edwards and Tim Rattay all don the Tech red and blue. Opened in 1968 at a capacity of 23,000, Joe Aillet Stadium -- which wasn’t given its current name until Nov. 11, 1972, when it was dedicated in honor of the former Tech coaching legend -- has proven instrumental in some of the biggest wins in the program’s 100-plus year history. The facility was upgraded in 1985 when a luxury sky box was added to the press box and again in 1989, when an additional 7,600 seats were added, increasing the seating capacity to 30,600. In the summer of 2006 Joe Aillet Stadium received a new surface as FieldTurf Mono -- which is considered the top of the line artificial turf -- was installed by FieldTurf Tarkett. In the summer of 2008, that turf was replaced with a new version to include the athletic department’s new logo. A brand new, state-of-the-art videoboard was installed in the north end zone in time for the 2009 season, a $2 million addition to the facility. Built by Daktronics, the national leader in scoreboard and videoboard manufacturers, it is 25 feet x 45 feet and can show one display or be split into multiple replays. In addition, the south end zone received a brand new LED scoreboard that all fans can easily see during the day or at night. The stadium’s namesake -- Joe Aillet is a member of the Louisiana Tech Athletics Hall of Fame and the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame -- guided his Tech teams to a 151-86-8 record and nine conference championships from 1940-1966. The winning tradition Aillet established during his days of coaching at Louisiana Tech has continued as the Bulldogs have posted 10 perfect seasons in the facility’s history. From the first game ever played in the stadium, a 35-7 win over East Carolina on Sept. 28, 1968, to a 22-14 victory over SEC foe Mississippi State in 2008, Joe Aillet Stadium has been the site of some of the most magical moments in Louisiana Tech football history. Joe Aillet Stadium has proven to be a tough place for opposing teams to play for more than four decades. Over the course of the stadium’s history, Tech has dominated opponents as the 132-56-2 record indicates a winning percentage of 70 percent. Since Tech moved up to Division I-A in 1989, the Bulldogs have registered a mark of 70-30 at Joe Aillet Stadium, a

winning percentage of about 70 percent. In that inaugural game against East Carolina at Joe Aillet Stadium, a young quarterback named Terry Bradshaw guided the Bulldogs to the victory as Tech fullback Buster Herren scored the first touchdown ever at the stadium on a two-yard run with 6:20 remaining in the second quarter. It was just the first of many memorable moments for Tech fans in Ruston. On two different occasions over the past 40-plus years, Tech has registered streaks of 18 straight wins at Joe Aillet Stadium. The first such streak started with a 23-0 win over UL-Monroe in the final game of the 1971 season and ended with a 49-20 win over Tennessee-Chattanooga in the fifth game of the 1975 season. That run by coach Maxie Lambright’s teams included two small college and one Division II national championship seasons.

Tech trailed 30-14 late in the third quarter before scoring 17 unanswered points, capped by Gene Johnson’s 16-yard touchdown pass to Bobby Slaughter with 2:14 to play. The Bulldog defense held the Rams to four and out on their final possession as a wild celebration ensued, which ultimately ended in the goal posts in the south end zone being torn down by Tech fans. One of the biggest individual matchups in the stadium’s history came on Sept. 5, 1998, when two future NFL quarterbacks squared off as Central Florida’s Daunte Culpepper led his team to a 64-30 win over Tech’s Tim Rattay and the Bulldogs. Culpepper passed for 370 yards and four scores while rushing for 69 yards and two more touchdowns while Rattay passed for 524 yards and three touchdowns. The 2000 season saw a milestone reached at Joe Aillet Stadium as the Bulldogs under head coach Jack Bicknell recorded the 100th win in the facility’s history. True freshman

quarterback Luke McCown tied an NCAA Division I freshman record by tossing six touchdowns in the milestone 48-14 victory over UL-Lafayette on Oct. 14, 2000. Joe Aillet Stadium hosted its first nationally televised game on Dec. 5, 2002, when ESPN came to town to produce Louisiana Tech’s game against Fresno State. Although Tech fell in the contest, it was another milestone for the program and the facility it has called home. The 2004 season opened with another nationally televised home game, as the Bulldogs defeated Nevada 38-21 Sept. 6 on ESPN2. This was just a preview of things to come during the season at Joe Aillet Stadium. Less than one month later, Tech fans were able to witness one of the greatest games in Joe Aillet Stadium history, as Louisiana Tech downed No. 17 Fresno State 28-21 on Oct. 2. Tech trailed 13-0 early in the second quarter before running back Ryan Moats and the Bulldog defense turned up their level of play. Moats rushed for 236 yards and four scores, including the game-winner with just under four minutes to play, which was set up by an interception deep in Fresno State territory. The win was sealed when current Green Bay Packers star Tramon Williams intercepted Paul Pinegar with less than :30 remaining, starting a wild celebration that saw the goal posts in both end zones torn down. The 2011 season saw disappointing lows early on but a wet championship finish. After leading Houston 34-7 with 20 minutes to play, Tech dropped a heart-breaking 35-34 decision to the Cougars but ended the year with seven straight wins, including two at home, as the Bulldogs clinched the 2011 WAC Championship with a 44-0 rout of New Mexico State in a driving rainstorm in late November. These games and many more are what have made Tech fans the real winners over the years. As the warm fall evenings approach and another year of Bulldog football begins, Joe Aillet Stadium will once again host some of the best college football the nation has to offer.

However, 17 unanswered points later, Tech had rallied for a 3130 win over the bowl-bound Rams to earn their own Independence Bowl berth. The winning touchdown pass from Gene Johnson to Bobby Slaughter in the final minutes came fittingly in the south end zone, just in front of the Spirit of ‘88. Eleven years later, Tech clinched a share of its first Western Athletic Conference title with a 48-42 win over Boise State at Joe Aillet Stadium. With the Broncos driving towards what looked like a game-winning score late in the contest, the Spirit of ‘88 magic struck once again. Ryan Dinwiddie’s potential game-winning touchdown pass bounced off the helmet of a Tech defender and high into the air before Bulldog defensive lineman Brandon Avance plucked
it out of the air, giving Tech the victory. Some might say it’s a coincidence that the two biggest wins in the program’s Division I-A history had been decided in the south end zone under the watchful eyes of the Spirit of ‘88. However, the third time proved it was more than just chance. On a warm Oct. 2 evening in 2004, Louisiana Tech found itself trailing No. 17 ranked Fresno State 21-20 late in the fourth quarter. Fresno State had the football and the momentum, trying to move out of its own end zone -- the south end zone -- against a Tech defense and its 12th man, or should we say Dawg. On third down Fresno State quarterback Paul Pinegar was intercepted by Byron Santiago who returned the football down to the 16-yard line. Two plays later, Ryan Moats gave Tech a 28-21 lead and the eventual win as he rushed eight yards to the right corner of the south end zone. The Bulldogs had defeated the 17thranked team in the nation. A Joe Aillet Stadium crowd of almost 20,000 celebrated wildly with the Tech players, coaches and the Spirit of ‘88. Some may say the powers of that bronze Bulldog are a fluke. Tech fans won’t agree. The numbers say 67 wins and just 28 losses since the Spirit of ‘88 was unveiled. So fluke or not, the Bulldogs will continue to touch it each home game and hope the wins continue.

At the south end of Joe Aillet Stadium stands a bronze Bulldog statue named the Spirit of ‘88. The statue commemorates the 1988 Bulldog football team which blazed the path into Division I-A football for Louisiana Tech. That 1988 team had to endure one of the most difficult schedules in school history. In what was the nation’s 11th toughest schedule that year, the Bulldogs faced five I-A bowl teams including Houston, Florida State and Texas A&M. The results were as expected: losses like 60-0, 56-17 and 66-3 ... but as a team, the Bulldogs grew. Those experiences likely played a key role in Tech finishing 5-4-1 the following year, its first in I-A, and 8-3-1 in 1990’s Independence Bowl season. The statue, which every Tech player touches as he walks down the ramp before every home game, also brought good fortune to the Bulldogs at home. On Oct. 14, 1989, when it was unveiled, Tech proceeded to pummel a very good Northern Illinois team, 42-21. That was just the start of one of the best runs in Tech football history. Over the next four-plus seasons, home games were few and far between, but each one resulted in a win. The Bulldogs eventually reeled off 18 consecutive home victories, tying the alltime stadium record set by head coach Maxie Lambright’s great teams of the early 1970s. Some wins have been more magical than others. The endings to three of the biggest wins in school history have taken place in the south

Independence Stadium and Louisiana Tech have a long, successful history together as the Bulldogs have played 71 games in Shreveport, including four trips to the Independence Bowl. All-time the Bulldogs are 45-23-3 (.655) in games played in Independence Stadium. Northwestern State is the most common opponent for Tech in Shreveport as the two programs met 48 times with the Bulldogs claiming a 34-12-2 mark in those games and a 33-12-2 mark in Independence Stadium. Although the majority of the games that Tech has played in Shreveport came during the old State Fair Games against Northwestern State, starting in the late ’30s and ending in the late ’80s, Tech has played some other big-time college football games at the site. In the last two decades, Louisiana Tech has faced Northern Illinois (2008), Houston (1988), Maryland (1990), Baylor (1996), California (1997), Texas A&M (1999 and 2012), Oklahoma State (2002) and Miami (2003) at Independence Stadium. Thrilling last-minute victories against California (41-34) and Oklahoma State (39-36) highlight the Bulldogs’ successful history in Shreveport while the 59-57, four-and-a-half hour loss to No. 22 Texas A&M in 2012 will not be forgotten as one of the most exciting Bulldog games to ever be played in Shreveport. In all, Tech has played 19 different teams at Independence Stadium, and the Bulldogs have appeared in four Independence Bowls, beating Louisville 24-14 in 1977, losing 35-13 to East Carolina in 1978, tying Maryland 34-34 in 1990 and defeating Northern Illinois 17-10 in 2008. Louisiana Tech opened the 2003 season at Independence Stadium as the Bulldogs played host to five-time national champion Miami on Aug. 28, 2003, in a nationally televised game on ESPN, which saw a Louisiana Tech regular season home attendance record of 43,279. Independence Stadium originally opened as State Fair Stadium in 1925. It has gone through numerous renovations and expansions over the years with the most recent being the installation of FieldTurf in late 2010.

CONFERENCE USA Conference USA officially received a new look on July 1, 2013, while maintaining the same commitment to excellence, integrity and leadership in athletics, academics and in our communities. Eight institutions, including the return of charter member Charlotte along with FIU, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana Tech, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Old Dominion and UTSA, will join with East Carolina, Marshall, Rice, Southern Miss, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB and UTEP. From its beginning in 1995, Conference USA’s dedication to excellence has been the league’s guiding principle and remains a common thread today and for a promising future. Throughout the changes during the C-USA history, the conference has held onto its strong foundation that reflects the league’s national presence. These 16 schools have compiled numerous athletic and academic achievements. Additionally, the C-USA footprint will grow by nearly 20 percent, while providing the geography that allows for a divisional scheduling model that will be beneficial to the student-athletes, fan-friendly and cost effective. Conference USA sponsors competition in 20 sports - nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis and indoor and outdoor track and field) and 11 for women (basketball, cross country, golf, rowing, softball, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field and volleyball).
C-USA annually awards 12 postgraduate scholarships, along with the Sport Academic Award, Scholar Athletes of the Year and the Institutional Academic Excellence Award. Conference USA also added a Spirit of Service Award, recognizing student-athletes three times a year for a combination of significant community service efforts, good academic standing and participation in their elected sport.
SUCCESS ON THE PLAYING FIELD
Conference USA performers have achieved great success in competition, placing the league among the top conferences in the nation.

LATechSports.com
SUCCESS OFF THE FIELD
C-USA institutions are among the nation’s best in academic performance among student-athletes, bolstered by the fact that studentathletes at league schools have a higher graduation rate than the general student population. Among C-USA’s 5,000 student-athletes, there are champions off the playing field as well. In 18 years, 176 student-athletes earned national Capital One Academic All-America honors, while 618 were named All-District. In addition, more than 26,000 student-athletes have been named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll or received the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom.
C-USA ON TV
C-USA enjoys significant television exposure through partnerships with FOX Sports Media Group, CBS Sports Network and ESPN. The multi-tiered selection process that is rooted in partnering with all three networks has substantially increased the number of national and regional appearances for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and all other conference sports. As one the largest FBS conferences in 2013, C-USA membership will include institutions in 12 of the Top 65 television markets, eight in the Top 40 and four in the Top 25 media markets according to Nielson. C-USA home markets next year will include more than 14.5 million TV households, a 43 percent increase from a year ago.
C-USA DIGITAL NETWORK

F O O T B A L L
The C-USA Digital Network officially launched in August of 2011. Network programming includes live streaming of non-televised events, video on demand, a weekly C-USA studio show, podcasting, regular-season and championship event highlights and conferenceproduced feature stories. In its first year, 1,164 events were streamed live and 8,126 videos were posted and available on the C-USA Digital Network, and that number just keeps growing. Monthly and yearly subscriptions offer fans access to events offered on all of the C-USA member institution’s athletic websites as well as C-USA network programming.
C-USA IN THE COMMUNITY
The conference’s current footprint is concentrated with 16 members in nine states and a combined area population of nearly 17 million. With a commitment to community involvement, the conference developed several initiatives to maintain strong ties in C-USA cities, as well as with fans and alumni across the country. C-USA schools also place a priority on giving back to their communities through volunteer service with local and national organizations. Individually, student-athletes are recognized each season through the Spirit of Service award.
GOVERNANCE
Conference USA has significant representation in the NCAA governance structure. The Presidents of the member institutions serve as the league’s Board of Directors.
A PROUD HISTORY
Conference USA was formed in 1995 and quickly emerged as one of the nation’s top conferences. The conference unveiled its name, logo and commissioner April 24, 1995 in Chicago. The league’s charter members included Charlotte, Cincinnati, DePaul, Houston, Louisville, Marquette, Memphis, Saint Louis, Southern Miss, Tulane, UAB and USF. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participation in 1995, while Houston joined competition in the fall of 1996. The league’s headquarters were established in Chicago and, after nine years, relocated to the current office in Irving, Texas. Britton Banowsky was named Commissioner in October 2002, succeeding Mike Slive, the league’s first commissioner. C-USA added East Carolina (September, 1996) and the United States Military Academy (March, 1997) as football members. ECU began league competition in 1997; Army in 1998 and UAB began football play in 1999. The league added TCU and ECU (1999) for all sports and they began competition in 2001. USF started C-USA football in 2003. Marshall, Rice, SMU, Tulsa, UCF and UTEP became full-time members of Conference USA in 2005.

BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES ABOUT THE BCS The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) is a five-game arrangement for post-season college football that is designed to match the two top-rated teams in a national championship game and to create exciting and competitive matchups between eight other highly regarded teams in four other games. The bowl games participating are the Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl. In addition, a BCS National Championship Game will be played at one of the bowl sites. BCS RANKINGS The BCS Standings, have been compiled by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame since the beginning of the 2000 regular-season. The BCS Standings determine which teams play in the National Championship game, and which are included in the pool of eligible teams available for at-large selection. The BCS Standings include the Harris Poll, the USA Today Coaches poll and an average of six computer polls. Each component will count for one-third of a team’s overall BCS score in the BCS Standings. C-USA AND THE BCS The Conference USA champion (along with the champions of the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference, the Sun Belt Conference, and the Western Athletic Conference) will have an automatic berth in one of the five bowls if, and only if:

HOUSTON,Texas - Louisiana Tech introduced its own version of “Thunder and Lightning” Saturday night as freshmen running backs Tevin King and Kenneth Dixon scampered, plodded and plowed their way to more than 200 yards and four scores in their collegiate debuts as the Bulldogs downed Houston 56-49 at Robertson Stadium. King - a speedster who showcased Barry Sanders-type moves - rushed for 112 yards and three touchdowns while Dixon - a powerfully built battering ram - added 90 yards and one score in a game that lasted more than four hours and saw the two teams combine for almost 1,300 yards of total offense. While King was electrifying the crowd with highlight reel touchdown runs of 13, 9 and 59 yards, Dixon was supplying the power which included a two-yard third quarter burst for a score. Colby Cameron added three touchdown passes - a six-yard strike to Jon Greenwalt, an eight-yard toss to Hunter Lee and a 14-yard throw to RP Stuart - while adding 353 yards through the air as the Bulldogs scored the most points since totaling 63 in a win over Mississippi Valley State in the season opener in 2000. After taking an early two touchdown lead, the Bulldogs saw Houston rally to cut the deficit to 21-20 at the half thanks to a pair of late scoring drives in the second quarter. However, Tech scored 21 third quarter points as Houston never got closer than two scores the rest of the way. Tech defensive lineman Jon’al White recovered a fumble on UH’s first possession of the game, King capped a three-play, 44-yard drive with a highlight reel 13-yard run. On the play, King took the handoff off the left side, was stopped cold at the 10-yard line and then spun inside and scampered untouched into the endzone. On Tech next possession, King struck paydirt again, this time on a nine-yard run up the middle as Matt Nelson’s extra point made the score 14-0 Bulldogs. The key play on the 5-play, 43-yard drive was a 24-yard hookup between Cameron and David Gru on third down and six. After Hogan hit back-to-back field goals for Houston, Tech marched 66 yards on eight plays and scored on a six-yard strike from Cameron to Greenwalt in the back of the endzone as the Bulldogs took their biggest lead of the first half at 21-6 with 13:34 to play. The Bulldogs appeared to have added another touchdown when Craig Johnson took a punt and raced 66-yards to paydirt. However, the play was brought back due to a block in the back penalty and the Bulldogs would come up empty on the possession. Houston found the endzone for the first time in the game when Williams took a shovel pass and raced 32-yards around the right side untouched for a score. The play capped an impressive 81-yard drive. Following a defensive stop by UH, the Cougars once again built on their momentum, driving 69 yards on eight plays and scoring on a Charles Sims two-yard run off right tackle with 53 second to play in the first half. Hogan’s extra point closed the Bulldogs lead to 21-20 at the half. Neither team was able to score on their first possession of the second half as Tech took over on the one with its back against its own goal line. After a pair of first downs, King took a handoff from Cameron, raced around the left side and bounced off multiple defenders as he raced 59 yards to give Tech a 28-20 lead with 10:40 to play in the third quarter. Dixon added his first career score on a two-yard plunge with 8:21 to play in the third, capping an eight play, 58-yard drive as Tech led 35-20. A 74-yard touchdown strike from David Piland to Daniel Spencer closed the gap to 35-27. Tech responded once again as Ray Holley scored the Bulldog’s third touchdown of the quarter on a two-yard run as the Tech led 42-27 through three quarters. Cameron tossed a pair of fourth quarter scores, an eight-yard strike to Lee and a 14yard toss to Stuart as Tech appeared to have a comfortable 56-35 advantage. However, Piland - who set the UH single game record with 77 pass attempts - threw two more late scores, including a 12-yard toss with 35 seconds to play forcing the Bulldogs to fend off an onside kick in the waning seconds. Tech totaled 598 yards of total offense on 93 plays, including 353 yards through the air and 245 yards on the ground while Houston totaled 693 yards, including 580 through the air and 113 on the ground. Defensively, Rufus Porter led Tech with a career-high 13 tackles while Jamel Johnson added 12 and Craig Johnson 10. IK Enemkpali added two sacks for minus 19 yards while White and Le’Vander Liggins each registered fumble recoveries. Piland led Houston offensively, completing 53-of-77 passes for 580 yards and four touchdowns.

RUSTON, La. - With its 56-37 win over Rice Saturday night at Joe Aillet Stadium, the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs accomplished something that hadn’t been done in Ruston in more than 100 years. For the first time since the 1910 season, LA Tech (2-0) scored 50 or more points in back-toback games in the same season and the Bulldogs did it in impressive fashion. When senior quarterback Colby Cameron wasn’t torching the Owls secondary for 276 yards and four touchdowns, Tech’s freshman tandem of Tevin King and Kenneth Dixon combined to rush for 317 yards and three more scores. It was a complete effort by the LA Tech offense which amassed 609 yards on 72 offensive plays while recording 30 first downs - the second straight game of 30 or more first downs. “It was a great crowd out there tonight,” said Tech head coach Sonny Dykes, who saw 23,228 red-clad Bulldog fans in the stands. “It’s our job to give them a quality product and keep them coming back. We had some chances early to pull away. That was a little disappointing in the first half. We didn’t score as many points in the second half, but our play was better and cleaner.” Tech opened the onslaught by scoring the first 21 points of the game as the Bulldogs built an early first quarter lead. Tech struck early when Cameron connected with Quinton Patton for a 65-yard touchdown on only the second offensive play for Tech. “That is a lot of what they do,” said Rice coach David Baliff. “It is a very frustrating offense. We worked on that all week with the tempo. Louisiana Tech gets in your head with the deep ball and then they attack the perimeters when your safeties are backed up a little bit.” Cameron tossed two more first quarter touchdowns - a 14-yard pass to Hunter Lee and a 16-yard hookup with Myles White - as the Bulldogs defense held Rice scoreless in the opening quarter. The final score of the quarter was set up when Dave Clark recovered a fumble by Rice running back Charles Ross. The Owls came to life in the second quarter, scoring 17 points while Tech put two more touchdowns on the board as Dixon scored on runs of one and eight yards. The Bulldogs took a 35-17 lead into the halftime locker room. Both teams traded touchdowns in the third quarter as Tech struck first with a Cameron 11yard toss to Patton with 11:56 to play in the frame gave the Bulldogs a 42-17 lead. Patton ended the night with seven receptions for 119 yards and two scores, one week after having a subpar game in the win over Houston. “I got back to the basics,” Patton said. “I got a little complacent, so I had a heart-to-heart with my position coach and got back in the right frame of mind. It’s Louisiana Tech football. There’s no quitting for sure.” Rice came right back and scored on a 13-yard run by Taylor McHargue as the Bulldogs led 42-23 through three quarters. Dixon added a nine-yard run early in the fourth quarter while Hunter Lee hit paydirt from six yards out to cap the scoring for the Bulldogs. Although King didn’t find the end zone for Tech, he did rush 22 times for 204 yards - averaging 9.3 yards per carry. Dixon added 14 carries for 113 yards and three scores. “Being so young, you expect young guys to be young, but they don’t act young,” said Cameron. “Each week they’ve matured, and they’ve done an awesome job the last two games. It helps us so much to balance the attack. It’s great having them.” McHargue led Rice, passing for 205 yards and two touchdowns and adding another 93 yards rushing and three more scores. Ross set a career-high for the Owls with 116 yards on the ground while adding a receiving touchdown. “Because of the nature of our offense, our defense is going to have to play a lot of plays,” said Dykes, who saw his team surrender 477 yards. “We need more stops on defense. We need to get better on third down defensively.” Defensively, Liggins recorded a career-high 10 tackles and one pass break up while Antonio Mitchum and Rufus Porter each registered eight tackles. Porter recorded his first career sack.

September 22, 2012 Memorial Stadium, Champaign, Ill.
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Louisiana Tech continued its record-setting season scoring 31 unanswered points in the second half and handing Illinois its worst regular season nonconference home loss in more than 15 years as the Bulldogs defeated the Illini 52-24 at Memorial Stadium. With the victory the Bulldogs improved to 3-0 on the season and scored 50 or more points for the third consecutive game, marking the first time a LA Tech football team has accomplished the feat. It also marks the first time since 1997 that Tech has opened the year with three straight victories. While the Bulldog offense was racking up six touchdowns and the first field goal of the year, the LA Tech defense forced six turnovers and the special teams unit recovered a muffed punt for a score. Tech is plus 21 in turnover margin during its 10-game regular season winning streak - the third longest in the country behind only LSU and Georgia. After Louisiana Tech built a 21-7 first quarter lead thanks to a pair of Tevin King touchdown runs and the first of four Colby Cameron scoring strikes, Illinois fought back behind backup quarterback Reilly O’Toole who led the Illini to a touchdown and field goal to cut the Bulldogs lead to 21-17 at the half. Tech gained 132 yards of total offense in the opening quarter but was held to only two total yards of offense during the second quarter. Illinois’ success defensively in the second quarter wouldn’t last into the second half. Cameron opened the second half by finding Quinton Patton for a 78-yard touchdown on only the second play of the stanza as Tech pushed the lead to 28-17. Patton finished the game with six receptions for 164 yards and two touchdowns. After a three-and-out by the Tech defense, the Bulldog offense struck again as Cameron found Patton for a 21-yard score, capping a nine-play, 73-yard drive. Matt Nelson - who became Tech’s all-time leader in extra point attempts and makes - connected on one of his seven extra points on the day as Tech led 35-17. Tech’s defense rose once again as Vontarrius Dora recorded a 12-yard sack of O’Toole on a fourth-down-and-three play to give the football back to the Bulldog offense. However, the Bulldog offense stalled and Ray Guy Award winner Ryan Allen punted inside the Illini 10-yard line where the ball hit an Illinois player and bounded into the endzone where Antonio Mitchum recovered for a score and a 42-17 lead with 4:27 to play in the third quarter. On Illinois’ ensuing possession, Mitchum recovered his second fumble of the night which led to a 32-yard Nelson field goal with 1:42 to play in the third quarter as Tech led 45-17. Tech scored one final time in the fourth quarter as Cameron hit Myles White on an inside receiver screen and White found the hole and outran the Illinois defense for a 37-yard touchdown reception. Illinois scored one final time in the fourth as Tech posted its first win over a Big Ten team since defeating Michigan State 20-19 in East Lansing in 2003. Illinois opened the game with the first score. After Cameron was sacked and fumbled, the Illini took over on the Tech 18-yard line where Nathan Scheelhaase found Ryan Lankford for an 18-yard score. Taylor Zalewski’s extra point gave Illinois a 7-0 lead with 8:30 to play. Cameron, who finished the night 15-of-22 for 284 yards and four touchdowns, then led an eight-play, 74-yard drive that tied the game as DJ Banks hauled in a 27-yard score - his first as a Bulldog. Following a Solomon Randle interception - the second of his career - Tech took its first lead as King scored on a nine-yard run with 4:37 to play in the first quarter. King - who was helped off the field in the fourth quarter with an apparent leg injury - scored just over three minutes later as his five-yard run gave the Bulldogs a 21-7 lead. The second touchdown run was set up after Dora recovered a fumble by Steelhaase which was forced by Rufus Porter. Tech has now outscored its opponents 56-13 in the first quarter of its three games this year. The Bulldogs, which entered the game ranked in the Top 10 in the nation in scoring and total offense, finished with 403 total yards of offense. The Bulldog defense held Illinois to 324 yards of total offense. Tech, which has been one of the most penalized teams through the first few weeks of the year, was only penalized five times for 39 yards in the game.

Charlottesville, Va. - Top 25 voters, take notice. For the second consecutive weekend, Louisiana Tech went on the road and handed a BCS opponent a loss on its home field as the Bulldogs defeated Virginia 44-38 before 42,027 fans at Scott Stadium Saturday afternoon. After trailing by as much as 14 points in the game, Tech used 34 unanswered points spanning from late in the second quarter to early in the fourth to improve to 4-0 on the season. The 4-0 start is the first by a LA Tech team since 1975. The Bulldogs two wins this year over Illinois and Virginia by a combined score of 96-55 marks the first time a LA Tech team has posted two victories over BCS schools in the same season since 1997 when it beat Alabama and California. Saturday’s win didn’t earn style points nor did it come easy as Tech overcame a slow start and then had to withstand a late Virginia rally to hang on for the victory. With Tech clinging to a 44-38 lead and facing a fourth down and one yard from its own 35-yard line, the Bulldog called a timeout and appeared to be preparing to punt the ball back to the Cavaliers who had scored touchdowns on its last two possessions. However, head coach Sonny Dykes put his offensive unit back out on the field. Virginia, which had put its punt return unit out in anticipation of a punt, ran an 11th defender onto the field preparing for the Tech offensive play. However, the Cavaliers punt returner didn’t notice and the Cavaliers were flagged for 12 men on the field, giving Tech a first down. With Virginia out of timeouts, the Bulldogs ran out the clock for the win. Early on it appeared as though it might be a long day for LA Tech as Virginia racked up 200 yards of total offense in the opening quarter to build an early 14-3 lead on a pair of touchdown passes - one by running back Perry Jones and one by starting quarterback Michael Rocco. Tech scored its first touchdown of the day when Colby Cameron found R.P. Stuart on a three-yard fade pattern in the corner of the endzone with 1:54 to play in the first quarter, capping an eight-play, 39-yar drive. The big play of the drive was a roughing the passer called on the Cavaliers on an unsuccessful fourth-down play by Tech, keeping the Bulldog offense on the field. Virginia (2-3) scored the first 10 points of the second quarter, including a 73-yard touchdown strike from Rocco to Khalek Shepherd. A Drew Jarrett 35-yard field goal at the 7:35 mark of the second stanza upped the UVA lead to 24-10 - the biggest deficit of the season for LA Tech. However, the Tech defense - which had to overcome injuries to starting tackle Justin Ellis and linebacker Solomon Randle - came up with the first of its three interceptions of the day as Quinn Giles picked off Rocco on a tipped pass and returned it to the UVA 25-yard line with just under four minutes to play in the half. Two plays, later Ray Holley took a handoff and sprinted untouched around the right end for a 16-yard score to cut the deficit to 24-17. Tech got one final chance in the first half and used nine plays to march 37 yards as Matt Nelson kicked the second of his three field goals on the day as the Bulldogs trailed only 24-20 at intermission. The third quarter proved to be the difference as Tech outscored UVA 21-0. Holley opened the scoring with an 11-yard run to give Tech its first lead of the game at 27-24, finishing off a 14play, 73-yard drive to open the second half. Dave Clark then intercepted Rocco on Virginia’s next possession, setting up the Tech offense on the Cavaliers’ 43-yard line. Four plays later, Cameron faked a handoff up the middle and ran 13-yards untouched for a 34-24 Bulldog lead with 6:00 minutes remaining in the third quarter. Backup linebacker Chip Hester who was playing for the injured Randle then came up with maybe the biggest defensive play of the day as he stepped in front of a Rocco pass and returned it 32-yards for a score. Nelson’s extra point made the score 41-24 with 5:08 to play in the third. Hester led Tech with 14 tackles while Antonio Mitchum registered 11 stops. After Nelson added a 45-yard field goal with 12:47 to play in the fourth quarter to give Tech a 20-point advantage at 44-24, Virginia backup quarterback Phillip Sims led a Cavalier rally. Sims found Jake McGee for a three-yard score with 6:56 to play and then hit Adrian Gamble on a 24-yard toss with 2:08 to play to close the gap to 44-38, setting up the crazy ending to the game. Cameron completed 23-of-36 passes for 218 yards and one touchdown while adding 23 yards and one score on the ground. Kenneth Dixon led Tech’s ground attack with 78 yards on 16 carries while Holley added 69 yards and two scores on 14 attempts. Quinton Patton led all Tech receivers with seven receptions for 88 yards. Tech won despite being outgained 625 to 385 yards by UVA. The Bulldogs were plus three in the turnover margin battle and are now plus 24 in turnover margin during its 11 game regular season winning streak.

RUSTON, La. - Kenneth Dixon rushed for four touchdowns and Louisiana Tech racked up more than 600 yards of total offense to lead the Bulldogs to a 58-31 win over UNLV before 21,850 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium Saturday night. Dixon rushed for 106 yards and the four scores, Ray Holley added a career-high 140 yards on the ground and the Bulldogs improved to 5-0 on the season for the first time since 1975. Tech, which is the only remaining undefeated team in the state of Louisiana, also extended its regular season win streak to 12 games which is the longest in the country following losses earlier in the day by LSU and Georgia. “It was a good, hard-fought win,” said Tech head coach Sonny Dykes. “The players were a little frustrated in the locker room at halftime after we didn’t get the field goal at the end of the first half. That was my fault. They went in frustrated, but that’s the mark of a good team when you have a 10-point lead and still go in angry.” After leading by as many as 20 in the first half, Tech saw UNLV (1-5) close the gap to 27-24 on a 46-yard pass from Nick Sherry to Marcus Sullivan with 12:25 to play in the third quarter. However, the Bulldogs then reeled off 31 unanswered points behind the running of Dixon, who hit paydirt three times in the second half. It marked the third straight game that the Bulldogs have reeled off at least 31 unanswered points, including wins over Illinois and Virginia. Colby Cameron was solid under center, completing 31 of 45 passes for 316 yards and one touchdown while registering his fifth straight game without throwing an interception. Cameron has now thrown 12 touchdowns without a pick this season. After a Matt Nelson 27-yard field goal gave Tech an early 3-0 lead, UNLV took their only lead of the contest as Sherry found Taylor Barnhill for a 33-yard scoring strike as the Rebels led with 9:42 to play in the first quarter. Following a 33-yard field goal by Nelson, Tech scored its first touchdown on a six-yard pass from Cameron to Quinton Patton, who finished the game with nine receptions for 116 yards as the Bulldogs took a 13-7 lead with 2:48 to play in the opening quarter. The Bulldogs special teams unit then came up big as Malon Lee blocked a punt and Tech took over on the UNLV nine-yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, Holley raced nine yards to the endzone as Tech upped the advantage to 20-7. UNLV appeared ready to strike again when the Bulldog defense came up with a big stop on a fourth down and one play from the Tech two-yard line. Following the turnover on downs, Cameron hit Patton for a 55-yard gain on a post route that started a 10-play, 98-yard drive that ended with a Dixon one-yard TD run. Tech led 27-7. However, the Rebels would score the final 10 points of the half as the two teams entered the locker room with the Bulldogs leading 27-17. Following UNLV’s touchdown drive to open the second half, Tech scored on five of its next seven possessions to pull away. Dixon started the assault with a 10-yard run with 10:42 to play and then added a 15-yard run late in the third quarter and a seven-yard run early in the fourth quarter. “If you get a chance to make a play, you’ve got to make it,” Dixon said. “Our offensive line did great. Words cannot express how good they are.” The Bulldogs final score was a 17-yard run by Hunter Lee with 2:42 to play, capping an eight-play, 55-yard drive that saw Lee haul the football on every play. Tech registered 35 first downs in the game along with 622 yards (306 yards rushing, 316 yards passing) while UNLV recorded 23 first downs and 536 yards. “We’re banged up at linebacker but I’m proud of our young guys stepping up,” Dykes said. “When someone goes down you have to have enough depth. I’m proud of the way Chip Hester played tonight. Ty Hook also saw his first major action.” Defensively, Antonio Mitchum led Tech with 10 tackles while Dave Clark and Chip Hester each added nine tackles. Jamel Johnson recorded five tackles and one interception while Andre Taylor registered a fumble recovery. The Bulldogs were plus two in turnover margin.

SHREVEPORT, La. - No. 22-ranked Texas A&M scored the first 27 points of the game and then withstood a furious comeback to hang on and defeat No. 23 Louisiana Tech 59-57 before 40,453 fans at Independence Stadium late Saturday night. The Bulldogs (5-1) had two different opportunities to tie the game on two-point plays in the final quarter, including one with 38 seconds to play in the game, but the Aggies (5-1) escaped Shreveport with the win, snapping LA Tech’s 12-game regular season winning streak. Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel proved as good as advertised as the freshman passed for 396 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for another 181 yards and three more scores, including a 72-yard run with only 2:04 to play that gave the Aggies a 59-44 lead. “He is a very special player,” said Tech head coach Sonny Dykes. “We knew coming in he was going to be hard to stop. We had a hard time adjusting to his speed early in the game. I thought our guys got more settled in and made some adjustments and made some plays in the second half. We just couldn’t stop him in critical situations. That’s what good players do, they make plays.” Manziel wasn’t the only signal caller that brought their A-game as Bulldog senior Colby Cameron completed 44-of-59 passes for a career-high 448 yards and five touchdowns without throwing an interception. Cameron tossed two touchdowns - a 62-yarder to Quinton Patton and a 13-yard toss to Ray Holley - in the final two minutes of the game to give the Bulldogs one final shot to tie it. However, following the touchdown to Holley, Cameron’s two-point conversion pass to RP Stuart was high and the Aggies sealed the victory by recovering the onside kick and running out the clock. “They kept playing,” said Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin. “Both teams made some plays. You have to give (Louisiana Tech) credit. They average those points for a reason. They are well coached and have players. It took our best effort to get out of here with a win. “That’s a good football team. We needed to get out of here and get back home. We were lucky to get out of here. It was a great game.” “I thought our guys played incredibly hard,” Dykes said. “I think any time a team faces the adversity we faced and battles, it is a credit to them. We didn’t start the game out well, but our guys kept battling and battling and battling and had a chance to win the football game.” Cameron had plenty of help from his No. 1 target in carving up a Texas A&M defense that entered the game ranked among the nation’s best. Patton tied the LA Tech single game record with 21 receptions for a career-high 232 yards and a career-high four touchdown receptions, covering 11, 2, 5 and 62 yards. The 21 receptions tied Troy Edwards mark set against Nebraska in the season opener in 1998 in a 56-27 loss to the Cornhuskers. Tech’s 57 points were the most since the Bulldogs scored 61 in a victory over Mississippi Valley State in 2000 and it marked the fifth time in six games that LA Tech has eclipsed the 50-point plateau. Texas A&M started the game off strong, taking a 21-0 lead after one quarter thanks to the arm and legs of Manziel, who found Lekendrick Williams for a 20-yard score and also hit paydirt on a 15-yard run. After a pair of field goals by the Aggies to open the second quarter and push the lead to 270, Tech struck on an 11-yard pass from Cameron to Patton with 5:32 to play in the quarter. However, the Bulldogs momentum was short-lived as Manziel hit Mike Evans on a 75-yard touchdown on the first play from scrimmage of the following possession to push the lead back out to 34-7. Kenneth Dixon, who finished the night with 112 yards rushing and two touchdowns for Tech, scored on a six-yard run with 2:55 to play in the second quarter. However, Matt Nelson’s extra point was blocked and returned the length of the field by Dustin Harris for two points as the Aggies led 39-13. Nelson ended the half with a 43-yard field goal as Tech trailed 39-16 at the break. The second half was almost all LA Tech as the Bulldogs scored 41 points and amassed 365 yards of offense following intermission - Tech totaled 615 for the game. While the Bulldog offense was finding its rhythm, the LA Tech defense played much better, including forcing the only turnover of the game when Shakeil Lucas intercepted Manziel and returned it five yards for a touchdown, making the score 46-44 with 11:59 to play in the game. After Tech’s game-tying two-point conversion attempt failed, Texas A&M scored two touchdowns to push the lead back out to 59-44 with just over two minutes to play before Cameron directed the final two scoring drives to give the Bulldogs a chance to tie. Jamel Johnson led Tech’s defense with 12 tackles while Chip Hester added eight stops and Lucas chipped in with seven tackles and his first career interception. As a team, LA Tech amassed 37 first downs and 615 total yards of offense, including 450 passing and 165 rushing. Texas A&M recorded 27 first downs and 678 total yards of offense - 395 passing and 283 rushing.

RUSTON, La. - Louisiana Tech freshman Kenneth Dixon continued his assault on the record books, rushing for 232 yards and six touchdowns to lead the Bulldogs to a 70-28 win over Idaho before 20,255 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium Saturday night. Dixon scored on runs of 1, 2, 1, 7, 2 and 20 yards to break Arry Moody’s 36-year old single game record of five rushing touchdowns in a game set against Northeast Louisiana in 1976. The Strong, Arkansas native now has 16 rushing touchdowns on the season - 15 of them coming at home - as he broke Charles McDaniel’s freshman single season mark of 14 set in 1971. “I thought it was a good win,” said Tech head coach Sonny Dykes. “It was good to see the way the team came out and played after a tough loss last week. We wanted to come out and get off to a good start after not doing that last week against Texas A&M.” LA Tech (6-1, 1-0 WAC) recorded 839 total yards of offense, a program single game record and the most by an FBS team this season as the Bulldogs rushed for 408 yards and passed for another 431 yards in the win. The 70 points were the most by a LA Tech team since the Tim Rattay-led Bulldogs scored 77 in a win over UL-Lafayette in 1998. Tech, which entered the game ranked No. 1 in the country in scoring offense, also tied a WAC single game record with 56 first half points as the Bulldogs led 56-21 at the break. It didn’t take long for the onslaught to begin as Idaho (1-6, 1-2) fumbled the opening kickoff as Tech recovered on the Vandals one-yard line. Dixon scored the first of his half dozen TDs on a one-yard plunge as Tech led 7-0 only 12 seconds into the game. After Dixon’s second score of the night gave the Bulldogs a 14-0 lead less than three minutes into the contest, Idaho struck with a 58-yard double pass that saw Roman Runner hit a wide open Najee Lovett down the right sideline to cut the deficit to 14-7. A Ray Holleyfive-yard touchdown run with 10:03 to play in the opening quarter gave Tech a 21-7 advantage but the Vandals answered immediately as Todd Handley took the kickoff and raced 92-yards to paydirt as the deficit was once again only one touchdown. Dixon’s third score of the night - a one-yard run - and a Colby Cameron to Quinton Patton20-yard pitch and catch completed the first quarter scoring as the Dawgs led 35-14. “Kenneth (Dixon) runs hard,” said Dykes. “The good thing is he’ll get even better when he learns to run lower and quits taking so many shots. He’ll get better and better as he learns that.” Tech struck again early in the second quarter as Myles Whitecaught a short pass, made a couple of Vandal defenders miss and raced 36 yards to the endzone. Three minutes later Dixon scored for the fourth time in the game on a 7-yard run as the lead ballooned to 49-14 with 9:50 to play before the half. Each team scored one more time in the second quarter as James Baker scored on a one-yard run for the Vandals following an 86-yard fumble return that gave Idaho the ball on the Bulldogs one-yard line. Dixon then scored his fifth TD on a two-yard run with 3:17 to play in the stanza as Tech led 56-21 at the break. Dixon broke Moody’s record midway through the third quarter on a highlight reel 20yard run through the middle of the Vandals defense. It would be the freshman’s last carry of the night as he finished with a career-high 232 yards on only 17 carries and the six scores. “He’s a great running back,” Cameron said. “He’s big and fast and quicker than people expect. With him doing so well, it helps the quarterback and is a credit to our offense.” It was also the last play for the Bulldog offensive starters as the Tech reserves played the final quarter and a half of the game. Zach Griffithled Tech’s final scoring drive, a sevenplay, 44-yard march that ended with a three-yard run by the backup signal caller - his first career score. Idaho scored the lone touchdown of the fourth quarter on a one-yard pass from Dominique Blackman to Michael LaGrone with 8:31 to play. In addition to Dixon’s big night, walk-on running back Brandon Davisadded 85 yards on 14 carries while Holley finished with 47 yards on 11 carries and one score. Cameron was impressive once again, completing 29-of-37 passes for 400 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. Cameron has now thrown 20 touchdowns this season and has yet to throw an interception in 275 pass attempts. As a team, Tech registered 39 first downs while averaging 8.8 yards per play in 95 snaps under center. Defensively, the Bulldogs were stellar, holding Idaho to only 304 yards and 11 first downs in the game. The Vandals scored four touchdowns, but one was via special teams, one came after taking over on the Tech one-yard line following a fumble and one was on a trick play. The Bulldogs defense also forced four more turnovers. “Idaho was 0-11 on third down,” Dykes said. “That’s as good as I’ve seen getting off the field. (Tech defensive coordinator) Tommy Spanglerhad a good game plan and (the defense) did a good job making plays on the ball.” Score by Quarters 1 2 3 4 OT Score Record Idaho 14 7 0 7 - 28 (1-7,1-2) Louisiana Tech 35 21 14 0 - 70 (6-1,1-0)

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) - Louisiana Tech missed three field goals in the first half. The 24th-ranked Bulldogs had no big runs or passes, and carried a slim lead into the locker room. Colby Cameron and Co. picked it up in time to earn a landmark win for the school. Cameron passed for a touchdown and ran for a score in the third quarter, helping Louisiana Tech beat New Mexico State 28-14 on Saturday night for the Bulldogs’ first victory as a ranked team. “We did what we had to do to win,” coach Sonny Dykes said. “It wasn’t a real pretty game. Anytime you go on the road and come out with a win, it’s a good game.” New Mexico State lost two fumbles and Andrew Manley threw an interception, damaging the Aggies’ chances of springing the upset. Cameron tossed a 44-yard touchdown pass to Myles White and had a 2-yard TD run after Louisiana Tech led 7-0 at halftime. Ray Holley extended the lead to 28-0 with a career-long 83yard run in the fourth. The slow start was quite the contrast to last week, when the Bulldogs rolled up a schoolrecord 839 yards of offense in a 70-28 victory against Idaho. “I guess we are human,” said Cameron, who completed 29 of 44 passes for 292 yards. “It was kind of like a gut check to us that we need to get better.” Louisiana Tech (7-1, 2-0 WAC) has won consecutive games since its only loss of the season against Texas A&M. It’s hoping to remain in the Top 25 for consecutive weeks for the first time in school history. Safety Chad Boyd, whose interception in the fourth quarter led to a touchdown, said the defense was glad it stepped up on a night the offense was struggling early on. “It’s a confidence booster,” he said. Holley had 130 yards rushing for the Bulldogs, who failed to win a game as a ranked team in two previous tries. Louisiana Tech was No. 25 when it lost to Southern California in 1999. The Bulldogs weren’t ranked again until this season, when they were No. 23 when they lost 59-57 to Texas A&M. Louisiana Tech continued its streak of breaking records Saturday when Ryan Allen recorded a school-record 85-yard punt in the first quarter. But it was the lowest scoring total for the season for the Bulldogs, who host UTSA in their next game. New Mexico State (1-7, 0-4 WAC) has dropped seven consecutive games. This will be the 52nd consecutive year that the Aggies failed to make it to a bowl game. Aggies coach DeWayne Walker said despite the loss, he was pleased NMSU’s defense was able to slow down TECH’s high-powered offense. Walker said the team feared giving up 70 points and focused on stopping the running game. “No question this was our best defensive game played this year,”Walker said. “We definitely didn’t want to be part of the 70 club.”

RUSTON, La. (AP) - Lots of points. Lots of penalties. Louisiana Tech and Texas-San Antonio played for the first time and it already had the feel of a longtime rivalry. Colby Cameron passed for 348 yards and Kenneth Dixon scored three touchdowns as No. 22 Louisiana Tech pulled away from Texas-San Antonio in the fourth quarter in a 5127 victory on Saturday. The Bulldogs (8-1, 3-0 WAC) converted a fake field goal into a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter to put away the visitors. Tech won a record ninth consecutive WAC game on homecoming, and the Bulldogs appear headed for a school record third consecutive week ranked in the Top 25. UTSA (5-4, 1-3 WAC) dropped its fourth consecutive game after opening the season with five straight victories. Playing with just six seniors, it was the Roadrunners first game against a nationally ranked FCS foe. The game featured 13 personal foul penalties between the two clubs, including two on Tech coach Sonny Dykes in the third quarter after he argued the ejection of offensive lineman Oscar Johnson. “I’m not sure what was going on with all the penalties or why,” Dykes said. “That’s not our team. I wasn’t real fired up about some of the stuff happening out there. (When he got flagged) I was trying to find out what Oscar Johnson was ejected for and went out on the field. I had to let (the officials) come to me.” Officials whistled 28 infractions for 288 yards between the two clubs. Cameron completed 30 of 39 and had touchdown passes to Quinton Patton, Myles White and R.P. Stuart. He was one of just two remaining FBS quarterbacks without an interception and he remained pick-free. Cameron’s seventh 300-yard game of his career tied him with former NFL great Terry Bradshaw for fourth all-time in Ruston. “I had no clue about the records,” Cameron said. “It’s pretty unbelievable to be mentioned in the same category as Terry Bradshaw. It’s pretty cool.” Dixon now holds the Louisiana Tech single-season record for most touchdowns with 20. The Strong, Ark., native is just one score shy of tying Marshall Faulks’ NCAA record for freshmen. Playing in front of 23,645 fans under steamy conditions in Joe Aillet Stadium, the Bulldogs (8-1, 3-0 WAC) converted a fake field goal into a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter to put away the visitors. Eric Sosa completed 23 of 41 throws for 314 yards and touchdowns to Cole Hubble (twice), Earon Holmes and Cole Hicks for UTSA. Tech wasn’t able to put the game away until wide receiver David Gru hit Malon Lee for a 9-yard score on a faked field goal to put the Bulldogs in front 44-27 with just under eight minutes remaining. “We had worked on it all week and it felt like the right time to call it,” Dykes said. “(David) Gru made a good throw and (Malon) Lee made a good catch. It was defended well. Sometimes players overcome a bad play and bad coaching. That play justified all the time we spent this week working on the fake field goal.” Tech added a 6-yard touchdown run from Dixon with 13 seconds left for the final tally. The Roadrunners pulled within 27-21 on their opening possession of the second half when they went 80 yards in nine plays, finishing up with a 17-yard pass from Sosa to Holmes. The Bulldogs pushed their advantage back to 34-21 on their first second-half possession when Dixon scored on a 7-yard run. That lead was extended to 37-21 two plays into the fourth quarter when Matt Nelson, who had missed five consecutive field goals, hit one from 22 yards out. UTSA would scrap its way to within 37-27 about three minutes into the fourth quarter when Sosa found Hicks from 14 yards out. The first half was a testy affair with four personal foul penalties called on each club. The two offenses started the game with touchdowns. The Bulldogs got things started with a 62-yard drive, capped by Cameron to Stuart for 1 yard. The visitors put together an 80-yard drive that Sosa made look easy when he hit Hubble for a 33-yard score. After Tech re-took the lead at 14-7 on a 3-yard run from Dixon, Hubble was left all alone in the Tech secondary for a 57-yard catch and score. Both teams cooled a bit after that offensive onslaught, until five minutes into the second quarter. One play after Patton sat out with a personal foul penalty, Cameron found him over the middle and the senior pulled away from the secondary for a 79-yard score. The Bulldogs would get one more score with just seconds remaining in the first half. After a personal foul call on Tech running back Ray Holley at the UTSA 13, Cameron hit Jon Greenwalt for a 23-yard score. Nelson, who missed from 37 yards out earlier in the frame, missed a point after with 8 seconds remaining. Score by Quarters 1 2 3 4 OT UTSA 14 0 7 6 - #22 Louisiana Tech 14 13 7 17 -

SAN MARCOS, Texas - Freshman Kenneth Dixon and senior Colby Cameronboth set Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) records to lead No. 18/19 Louisiana Tech to a 62-55 win over Texas State at Bobcat Stadium. Dixon rushed for four more touchdowns, giving him 24 on the year as the Strong, Arkansas native broke Marshall Faulk and Ryan WilliamsFBS freshman mark of 21 in a season. Dixon scored on runs of 4, 1, 13 and 16 yards and also registered a 14-yard TD reception - the first of his young career. He surpassed the 1,000-yard mark on the season in the game. Cameron entered the game just six passing attempts shy of breaking Russell Wilson’s FBS record of 379 attempts without an interception. The signal caller beat it on Tech’s first drive of the game as the record 380th attempt was a 4-yard scoring strike to R.P. Stuartwith 8:21 to play in the first quarter. Cameron, whose last interception came against TCU in the Poinsettia Bowl last year, ended the night completing 31-of-45 passes for 337 yards and three scores and zero interceptions as his streak sits at 419. With the victory, LA Tech improves to 9-1 on the season and 4-0 in Western Athletic Conference play setting up next week’s showdown against Utah State in Ruston. The Aggies, who were on a bye this week, enter the game 7-2 on the year and 4-0 in WAC play. Kickofff is set for 3 p.m. at Joe Aillet Stadium. Saturday’s win by LA Tech didn’t come easily as the victory wasn’t sealed until the Bulldogs recovered an onside kick with just over one minute to play in the game. The Bulldog offense amassed 627 yards of total offense on the night. Dixon rushed for 144 yards and four scores on 21 carries while backfield teammate Ray Holleyadded a career-high 145 yards on 27 carries and a 6-yard TD run with 12:51 to play in the fourth quarter that broke a 48-48 tie. Tech registered 38 first downs on 100 offensive plays as the Bulldog offense scored 50-plus points for the eighth time in 10 games. Texas State (3-6) led the Bulldogs early in the second quarter before Dixon scored on two straight possessions to give LA Tech its first lead of the game at 28-21 with 7:19 to play in the second stanza. The Bobcats tied the game up late in the second quarter on a Marcus Curry 5-yard run with 48 seconds to play. However, Tech marched 75-yards on four plays in only 25 seconds and grabbed a 41-34 lead right before the half on Cameron’s 49-yard strike to DJ Banks. Dixon then gave the Bulldogs a 14-point lead on his 16-yard TD run on the first possession of the third quarter before Texas State tied it up at 48-48 early in the fourth on the strength of a 22-yard run by Terrance Franks and 12-yard pass from Shaun Rutherford to Bradley Miller. Holley’s 6-yard run and a 2-yard scoring run by Cameron with 3:23 to play in the game proved to be the difference as Tech won its 10 straight WAC regular season game.

RUSTON, La. (AP) - Utah State had lost its offense, its 24-point lead and any semblance of momentum. Kerwynn Williams and the Aggies’ defense made sure they didn’t lose the game. Williams rushed for a 4-yard touchdown in overtime and Utah State stopped Louisiana Tech’s prolific offense in just four plays to lift the Aggies to a 48-41 overtime victory over the No. 19 Bulldogs on Saturday. The win gives Utah State (9-2, 5-0 Western Athletic Conference) at least a share of the conference title, with only lowly Idaho left on the schedule. And boy, did the Aggies have to earn it. Keeton threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns for Utah State (9-2, 5-0), which recovered to win despite giving up what looked like an insurmountable lead. Williams added 162 rushing yards and two touchdowns. He also caught four passes for 125 yards and a touchdown. His 1-yard touchdown run gave Utah State a 41-17 with 1:00 minute remaining in the third quarter. It looked like a backbreaker. But Louisiana Tech roared back, tying the game on Matt Nelson’s 32-yard field goal as time expired in regulation. The Aggies scored on their first offensive play - an 86-yard touchdown after a screen pass from Keeton to Williams - and racked up 646 yards of total offense. Louisiana Tech’s Colby Cameron threw an interception late in the second quarter, snapping his NCAA-record streak of 445 pass attempts without an interception. Cameron completed 35 of 60 passes for 396 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Utah State improved its record to 2-50 against nationally-ranked teams, including a 1-39 mark on the road. Keeton, a 6-foot-1, 200-pound sophomore from Houston, made several big plays with his arm and his feet. The Aggies needed all of them. “When you have an athletic quarterback who is smart and can throw the ball, it’s a vicious weapon,” Utah State coach Gary Anderson said. “This team believes in Chucky. The coaching staff believes in Chucky. He’s doing great things and will continue to do great things.” Even with the heroics by Keeton and Williams, it looked like this one might slip away from the Aggies. But Louisiana Tech’s overtime drive fell short, with a fourth-and-3 run falling well short of the first down marker. “Maybe we were a little emotionally done at that point,” Louisiana Tech coach Sonny Dykes said. “We battled so much to get back in - I don’t know if we ran out of gas down the stretch.” Utah State continues an excellent stretch of football under Anderson, who is in his fourth season. The Aggies have won five straight and 14 of 17 dating back to last season the best run for the program since the early 1970s. Next to Louisiana Tech’s shocking offensive numbers this season, Utah State’s looked pedestrian. The Bulldogs came into the game among the nation’s best in nearly every offensive category, averaging 53.4 points and 576.5 yards per game. Utah State frustrated Louisiana Tech’s offense at first. “We felt like other teams weren’t getting in their face, especially when they started scoring,” Utah State cornerback Will Davis said. He was the one who picked off the pass to end Cameron’s completion streak. The Aggies led 14-0 at the end of the first quarter and had a 245-40 advantage in total yards. The two teams traded field goals in the second quarter and Utah State took a 17-3 lead into halftime. The Bulldogs had a chance to score a touchdown late in the second quarter, but Cameron’s pass was intercepted by Davis in the end zone. Utah State struck again on the first drive after halftime. A big 43-yard pass from Keeton to Chuck Jacobs set up Keeton’s 13-yard touchdown run one play later, and the Aggies took a 24-3 lead, which was stretched to 27-3 minutes later after a 30-yard field goal. Louisiana Tech’s offense finally woke up midway through the third quarter with an 11-play, 78-yard drive that ended with Kenneth Dixon’s 2-yard touchdown run and pulled the Bulldogs within 27-10. Dixon finished with 113 rushing yards and two touchdowns. From that point, the Bulldogs were moving the ball fine. They just couldn’t stop the Aggies. Louisiana Tech came into the game ranked No. 20 in the latest Bowl Championship Series standings and hoped to be the latest outsider to crash the BCS party. Now the Bulldogs probably won’t even win the WAC title. If anything, it was the Aggies who looked like they were worthy of national consideration.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Louisiana Tech committed three second half turnovers and its defense struggled all night long as San Jose State handed the Bulldogs a 52-43 loss Saturday night at Spartan Stadium. Tech (9-3, 4-2 WAC) held a 30-24 lead early in the third quarter, but San Jose State (10-2, 5-1 WAC) used a strong running game, a potent passing attack and key defensive stops to pull away for the victory. “It certainly wasn’t our best effort,” said Tech head coach Sonny Dykes. “I didn’t think we played well. I’m disappointed. I guess we didn’t have them ready to go. We made too many mistakes on offense, but we can’t put that type of pressure week in and week out on our offense. As we move forward (looking at the bowl), we have to do a better job of getting our players ready to play.” San Jose State running back De’le Eskridge rushed for a career-high 217 yards and three touchdowns as the Spartans averaged almost six yards per carry on the night. “They ran it better than we anticipated,” Dykes said. “They creased us on a couple of big runs. Their offensive line was a lot more physical than our defensive line and their defensive line was more physical than our o-line. I thought that was the difference.” Tech, which entered the game ranked in the Top 15 in the country in rushing offense, totaled just 58 yards on the ground on 22 carries. “They whipped us up front,” Dykes said. “We came out in the second half and made a few adjustments and ran the ball a little better early, but we had trouble running consistently. We had to score and keep scoring, and we didn’t execute well enough. We have to get more stops on defense. I’m really disappointed we didn’t play better.” San Jose State took an early 10-0 lead in the first quarter before Tech struck on an eightyard touchdown run by Kenneth Dixon with 2:38 to play in the stanza. The score capped a fiveplay, 51-yard drive. Matt Nelson’s extra point was no good as the Spartans led 10-6. After SJSU quarterback David Fales hit Ryan Otten for an 18-yard TD to up the advantage to 17-6 in the second quarter, the Bulldogs pulled a trick out of the bag as David Gru hit Malon Lee on a 22-yard TD shovel pass on a fake field goal, cutting the deficit to 17-13. Eskridge scored the first of his three touchdowns with 4:56 to play before the half as the Spartans once again built an 11-point lead at 24-13. However, Tech struck twice before the end of the quarter as Colby Cameron hit Quinton Patton on a 52-yard TD toss and then Cameron scored on a one-yard QB sneak with only 26 seconds remaining as Tech took a 27-24 lead into the locker room. After a Nelson 29-yard field goal opened the scoring in the third quarter, San Jose State retook the lead on a four-yard run by Ina Liaina with 8:16 to play in the stanza as SJSU led 31-30. The Bulldogs answered on its ensuing possession as Cameron hit Myles White for a 33-yard strike as White made an acrobatic catch over the SJSU defender in the endzone for a 37-31 advantage. However, Tech would be outscored 21-6 over the final 20 minutes of playing time as Eskridge scored on runs of 32 and 1 yards and Fales hit Jabari Carr on a 26-yard scoring toss. Cameron’s third TD toss of the game - a 10-yard strike to Patton - was Tech’s only score of the fourth quarter. “I just didn’t feel like we played well tonight,” Dykes said. “I anticipated us coming here and playing well. Give San Jose State credit. They executed on both sides of the football.” Cameron completed 38-of-59 passes for a career-high 468 yards and three touchdowns but threw three interceptions in the game. Patton caught 10 passes for 125 yards and two touchdowns while White added seven receptions for 126 yards and one score. Dixon, who entered the game as the nation’s leading scorer, rushed eight times for 33 yards and one TD. Fales completed 25-of-37 yards for 367 yards and three touchdowns as the Bulldog defense intercepted him once in the game with Levander Liggins registering his first collegiate interception.

One of the main building blocks of success for a football program is stability in the coaching staff, and for 40 years, Louisiana Tech had not only stability but incredible talent. Joe Aillet remains the winningest football coach in Louisiana Tech history and was one of the most respected in the country during his 26-year coaching career with the Bulldogs. Aillet produced a record of 152-86-8 and won or shared 12 conference championships between 1940 and 1966. He served as Tech’s athletic director for an additional four years. A member of several national coaching halls of fame, Aillet was instrumental in forming the Louisiana High School Coaches Association in the 1930s and the Gulf States Conference in 1948. Maxie Lambright replaced Aillet in 1967 and remained at Tech through 1978, producing a “Golden Era” of Bulldog football which included seven conference titles, three national championship seasons and two Division I bowl games. He produced 11 All-Americans and sent a dozen Bulldogs into the pros. He also built the nation’s longest college football winning streak at 23 games during 1973 and 1974.
MAXIE
LAMBRIGHT
Another building block at Louisiana Tech was Maxie Lambright. Lambright coached the 1972 Bulldogs to a 12-0 record as Louisiana Tech won the National Football Foundation national title with a 35-0 win over Tennessee Tech in the Grantland Rice Bowl. The following season, Lambright’s Bulldogs claimed the Division II national title defeating Western Kentucky 34-0 in the championship game. During his 12 years on the Tech sideline, Lambright amassed a mark of 95-36-2 while winning seven conference titles.

BULLDOG HISTORY The names ring like a Who’s Who in the National Football League: Terry Bradshaw, Pat Tilley, Roger Carr, Mike Barber, Fred Dean, Matt Stover, Willie Roaf, Doug Evans, Tim Rattay and Troy Edwards. They are just a few of the many great players who have donned a Louisiana Tech Bulldog uniform over the past century, and their accomplishments at Tech are even more impressive. Starting with its very first game in 1901, Louisiana Tech has become a household name in collegiate football circles. And over the years Louisiana Tech has produced numerous conference titles, numerous all-American honors, numerous professional players and two national championship titles. This year’s players and coaches should only add to an already impressive resume. Although so much emphasis is placed on the present, with 108 seasons of Tech football in the record books, it’s important to remember so many great moments, so many great players and so many great coaches that have already made Tech’s history on the gridiron successful. From the very first team to last season’s squad, Tech football can be described with three words: TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE.
Record: 24-22-5 (.471) Coaches: Percy Prince (1910-1915); A. Flack (1916); V.S. Pugh (1917); Percy Prince (1918-1919) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: N/A 1910: First perfect season (7-0) During this decade of Bulldog football, Prince coached Tech for seven seasons, including the school’s first perfect year in 1910 with a record of 7-0. Prince was the first coach at Tech to coach for multiple seasons, finishing his career with a record of 24-16-5. His 1911 and 1915 teams also posted winning records, recording marks of 4-2-1 and 3-1-2, respectively. 1916: First Recorded Game at Independence Stadium In 1916, Coach A. Flack took over for Prince, but the Bulldogs struggled, going 2-4 with wins over Ouachita and Northwestern State. V.S. Pugh took over the coaching duties in 1917 and led Tech to a 2-3 season. However, Prince came back and coached Tech for one last season in 1919 as Tech lost to Henderson State and Northwestern State in the only two recorded games.

1901: First Recorded Intercollegiate Football Game Louisiana Tech intercollegiate football history began with that 1901 season, as Edwin Barber — the first athletic coach employed by the young university — led the Bulldogs on the playing field. And although records of some of the first years in Tech history are incomplete, Barber’s team lost the only two games for which results do exist, falling to Louisiana State 57-0 and Arkansas 16-0. However, the Tech tradition had begun. The November 1902 Industrialist, the first student publication at Tech, reported that Coach Frank Singleton led the second team to “a fairly successful season,” although the record of that Bulldog squad is not known. 1904: First Recorded Intercollegiate Football Win Coach E.G. Pierce led the 1904 Bulldogs to the first recorded win in school history with a 6-0 victory against Louisiana State during a 1-3 season. The game not only marked the inaugural win in Tech history, but also the first shutout. Tech’s first winning season was posted in 1906 as Z.T. Young led the Bulldogs to a 2-1-3 record with wins over Ouachita Baptist and the Ruston Athletic Club. The following season, Coach George Watkins and the Bulldogs registered a 9-1 mark, which is still the most wins by a first-year head coach in Tech history. During that season, Tech outscored its opponents 248-37, with the lone setback coming against Louisiana State. It is not known where those first Bulldogs played their games, but beginning with the 1904 season, all Tech athletic events were held in an athletic park, with a grandstand, located next to Harper Hall and presentday Howard Auditorium.

Record: 38-34-8 (.475) Coaches: R.F. Clark (1920-1921); William Dietz (1922-1923); Phillip Arbuckle (1924); R.C. Kenney (1925); Hugh Wilson (1926-1927); F.A. Rockwell (1928-1929) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (1925-1929)/None Six different coaches led the Bulldogs of the 1920s as Tech posted a winning mark of 38-34-8 during the decade. Coach R.F. Clark helped start the 1920s right for Tech fans as his two Bulldog teams registered winning records of 5-1 and 6-0 in1920 and 1921. After Clark’s 1920 team lost the first game of the season 12-0 to Northwestern State, he proceeded to win 11 consecutive contests over the span of the next two years. William Dietz picked up where Clark left off in 1922 and 1923 as the Dietz-led Bulldogs posted records of 5-1-1 and 6-2, including a 100-0 win over Clark College in 1922 and a 66-7 victory over Northwestern State in 1923. After struggling through a 1-6-1 season in 1924 under Coach Phillip Arbuckle, Tech began its first athletic affiliation, becoming a member of the multi-state Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association in 1925 under Coach R.C. Kenney. Hugh Wilson coached the Bulldogs to a 5-2-2 record in 1926 and a 3-5 mark in 1927, a year that was highlighted by a game played against Mississippi College at Forsythe Park, the first intercollegiate football game played in Monroe. 1928: New Football Field Built Then, in the fall of 1928, a new Tech athletic field was built immediately adjoining the men’s gymnasium on the current site of A.E. Phillips Laboratory School. The field was dedicated on Homecoming day Nov. 5, before the game with UL-Lafayette (UL-Lafayette won 45-6).
1940-1949
Record: 50-31-1 (.610) Coach: Joe Aillet (1940-1949) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Louisiana Collegiate Conference (1940-1947)/1941, 1945, 1947; Gulf States Conference (1948-1949)/1949 1940: Joe Aillet Era Begins It is no coincidence that the first 10 years of Joe Aillet’s tenure as football coach at Tech was one of the winningest decades percentagewise in Bulldog history. 1948: Tech joins Gulf States Conference; Gulf State Championship Aillet, who is still the school’s winningest coach with 152 wins, took over in 1940 and promptly led the Bulldogs to four conference titles during the decade, three as a member of the Louisiana Collegiate Conference and one as a member of the Gulf States Conference which Tech joined in 1948. Aillet, who was instrumental in forming the GSC, was the first president of the league. Tech also posted eight winning seasons during the nine years of football in the ‘40s (football was discontinued during 1943). Aillet, who is a member of the National Football Foundation’s College Football Hall of Fame as well as being a charter member of the Tech Athletic Hall of Fame, led Tech to a 6-4 record in 1940 before guiding the Bulldogs to the school’s first conference title in 1941 with a mark of 5-4-1. Tech also won the LCC title in 1945 (6-4) and 1947 (5-4), while capturing the GSC title in 1948 (7-2-1) and 1949 (7-2). A number of All-Americans led the Bulldogs during the 1940s, including the likes of Jimmy Harrison (1949), Garland Gregory (1941), Mike Reed (1946, 1947) and Ed Stassi (1948).

However, T.J. “Cotton” and Henry Matthews, two Tech freshman brothers from Bossier City, donated Tech’s first live bulldog in 1930. On the playing field, Coach George Bohler led Tech into the 1930s as the Bulldogs posted a 3-6 season in 1930 before rebounding to record the school’s third perfect season at 7-0 in 1931. 1935: 5,000 Seat Football Stadium Built In 1934, according to The Tech Talk, the Louisiana Legislature appropriated $25,000 for a concrete stadium to be built beginning in January 1935. The stadium seated 3,000, and wooden bleachers holding an additional 2,000 were built on the east side of the field. Again, Tech — under the guidance of Coach L.P. McLane — and ULLafayette dedicated the facility as Tech won the game 25-0 on its way to an 8-1 season. It also marked the first night game played at Louisiana Tech.

1937: Johnny Wyss Named Tech’s First All-American The 1937 season brought two more firsts for Louisiana Tech football as the school’s first sellout came Sept. 17, 1937, in the season opener against Oklahoma City. Following a 6-3-2 season, Bulldog guard Johnny Wyss was named Tech’s first All-American. The 1939 season brought with it a new coach and a new conference as Ray Davis took over the Bulldog coaching duties, guiding Tech to a 5-6 mark in the school’s first year as a member of the Louisiana Intercollegiate Conference.

Tech registered 10 winning seasons during the 1950s, never losing more than four games in a year. Tech captured its first GSC title of the decade during 1952, when the Bulldogs went 6-1-2, including wins over Florida State and Memphis State. Aillet also led Tech to Gulf States titles in 1953 (6-3), 1955 (9-1), 1957 (6-4), 1958 (7-3) and 1959 (9-1). During the era, Tech had 33 players earn All-Gulf States Conference honors including the family foursome of Tommy (three times), Pat (twice), Bobby and Joe Hinton (twice). Nine of Aillet’s players were named All-American during the 1950s, including Charles Anderson, Gordon Brown, Joe Hinton, Pat Hinton, Tommy Hinton, Jerry Hudson, Russell Rainbolt, Leo Sanford and Jess Storts.

1971: Pioneer Bowl Appearance After opening the era with a 2-8 mark in 1970, Lambright guided the Bulldogs to a 9-2 record and a conference title in 1971, Tech’s first season as a member of the newly formed Southland Conference. However, that was just the beginning. 1972: Grantland Rice Bowl Appearance The next three seasons are considered the greatest three-year stretch in Tech football history. Lambright led the 1972 team to a perfect 12-0 record, and the Bulldogs defeated Tennessee Tech 35-0 in the Grantland Rice Bowl to claim Co-National Champion honors along with Delaware as chosen by the National Football Foundation. 1973: Camellia Bowl Appearance The 1973 team would not be outdone, as Lambright and the Bulldogs finished the season 12-1 and defeated Western Kentucky 34-0 in the Division II National Championship game in Sacramento, Calif. 1974: Pioneer Bowl Appearance Finally, the 1974 team made it three in a row by winning the United Press International College Division National Championship despite losing to Central Michigan, 35-14, in a Division II national semifinal game. 1977: Independence Bowl Appearance The following season, Tech joined the Division I ranks for the first time, and two years later, the Bulldogs played in their first bowl game, defeating highly favored Louisville, 24-14, in the Independence Bowl in Shreveport. 1978: Independence Bowl Appearance Tech made a return trip to the Independence Bowl in 1978 but was defeated by East Carolina, 35-13. The loss marked the end of another era at Tech, as Maxie Lambright retired from his 12-year coaching career with a 95-36-2 record, trailing only Aillet in number of victories as Tech football coach. Larry Beightol was hired in 1979 and led Tech to a 3-8 record in his only season as the Bulldogs’ head coach. With the success Tech had during the 1970s, it is no wonder the Bulldogs had 66 players earn all-conference accolades, while the likes of Ron Alexander, Larry Anderson, Mike Barber, Roger Carr, Fred Dean, Ken Lantrip, Ardis McCann, Charles McDaniel, Joe McNeely, Chris Richardson and Billy Ryckman earned All-American honors.

1968: First Game played in Joe Aillet Stadium During the 1968 season, the Bulldogs also moved into a new home, the 23,000-seat present-day facility named Tech Stadium, which was renamed Joe Aillet Stadium on Nov. 11, 1972, in memory of the Tech coach who had passed away the previous year. Lambright, Bradshaw and the Bulldogs ended the decade claiming the 1969 Gulf States Conference title with an 8-2 mark, the school’s last GSC championship. Forty-eight Bulldogs earned All-Gulf States Conference honors during the 1960s, while Bradshaw, Tom Causey, Jerry Griffin, Joe Hinton, John Williamson, and Mickey Slaughter all earned All-American honors.
It could easily be said that the 1970s was the premier decade in the long history of Louisiana Tech football.

The 1960s saw plenty of change for Louisiana Tech late in the decade. However, early on it was the same old winning ways for Joe Aillet and his Bulldogs as Tech opened the era with yet another Gulf States Conference title and an 8-2 record. After recording marks of 5-4, 4-4 and 6-3 over the next three seasons, the Bulldogs captured another GSC title in 1964 with a 9-1 record. A 14-7 loss at the hands of Southern Mississippi kept the Bulldogs from obtaining the perfect record. Following another 4-4 season in 1965, the change began. Aillet’s 1966 squad, his last at Tech, fell to 1-9, breaking a streak of 21 consecutive years of non-losing seasons under the Tech legend. Aillet’s 26-year tenure as the Bulldogs head coach was over after 152 wins and 12 conference titles. 1967: Maxie Lambright Era Begins In 1967, Tech hired Maxie Lambright to take over the duties and after posting a 3-7 record in his first season, the Bulldogs resumed their winning ways in 1968 with a 9-2 record, thanks in large part to a young quarterback named Terry Bradshaw.

However, the ‘80s started slowly with two straight losing seasons under new head coach Billy Brewer (5-6 in 1980 and 4-6-1 in 1981). However, Brewer’s third and last season was much more successful as the Bulldogs posted a 10-3 record and won the Southland Conference title in

The Bulldogs, led by quarterback Matt Dunigan, won their first-round playoff game before falling to Delaware 17-0 on a rainsoaked afternoon at Joe Aillet Stadium. A.L. Williams took over the coaching reins in 1983 and after a sub-par first year (4-7), Williams guided Tech to the Division I-AA National Championship game in 1984. After winning the Southland Conference title, Tech defeated Mississippi Valley State and Jerry Rice, No. 1 Alcorn State and Middle Tennessee before losing to Montana State 19-6 in Charleston, S.C., in the national championship game.

1987: Tech begins its move to I-A Tech played in the Southland Conference for the final time during the 1986 season as university President F. Jay Taylor’s goal was to leave what he called “mandated mediocrity” — Division I-AA. The Bulldogs competed as a Division I-AA independent in 1987 and 1988 during the “Movin’ Up” campaign. During those two seasons, the Bulldogs fought an uphill battle, playing road games against the likes of Baylor, Mississippi State, Texas A&M, Houston, Wyoming, Kansas State, Southern Mississippi and Florida State in an effort to meet Division I-A scheduling requirements. Another 6,000 seats were added to Joe Aillet Stadium as part of meeting those same requirements to move up to the next level.

Tech officially began competing in the NCAA’s highest classification with the 1989 season opener at UL-Lafayette, a contest the Bulldogs won 40-14 on their way to a 5-4-1 record. On Oct. 4, 1989, the Spirit of 1988, a bronze Bulldog statue guarding the south entrance to Aillet Stadium, was unveiled to commemorate head coach Joe Raymond Peace’s Tech team of 1988, which endured the brutal

2001: Tech joins Western Athletic Conference; Humanitarian Bowl Appearance The Bulldogs made a splash in their new conference by going 7-1 in league play and claiming the 2001 WAC Championship. Louisiana Tech overcame an early conference loss to win its last six conference games to take the WAC title. The championship earned the Bulldogs a berth in the 2001 Humanitarian Bowl, the school’s first bowl appearance since the 1990 Independence Bowl. Despite a 49-24 loss to Clemson in the Humanitarian Bowl, the season was still a success and proved that Louisiana Tech would be a foe to be reckoned within the Western Athletic Conference. Tech began the 2002 season by defeating eventual Houston Bowl participant and Big 12 foe Oklahoma State to open the season in a thrilling last minute 39-36 contest. However, Tech’s early non-conference schedule proved brutal with road losses to Clemson, No. 15 Penn State and No. 24 Texas A&M. For the seventh straight season the Bulldogs ranked in the nation’s top 10 in passing offense while senior running back Joe Smith earned first team All-WAC honors, becoming the first Tech player since 1994 to rush for over 1,000 yards. The 2003 season started with a nationally televised home contest against defending national champion Miami at Independence Stadium in Shreveport as a Bulldog home record crowd of 43,279 witnessed the historic event. And although the 2003 season didn’t go as planned with Tech finishing 5-7, the Bulldogs did have plenty of bright moments topped by Tech’s 20-19 come-from-behind road win over Michigan State, a team that went on to earn a Top 25 ranking and eventually earned a spot in the Alamo Bowl against Nebraska. Individual highlights included senior kicker Josh Scobee becoming Louisiana Tech’s second all-time scoring leader with 339 points. Senior quarterback Luke McCown finished his career ranked in the top 5 in NCAA Division I history in passing yards and total offense.

1993: Tech joins Big West Conference The following season, the Peace-led Bulldogs dropped the opening game and then proceeded to win eight and tie two the rest of the year. After a 5-6 season in 1992, Tech joined the Big West Conference in an effort to help scheduling and secure a bowl tie. However, the Bulldogs’ three seasons in the conference never yielded much success as Peace’s squads compiled a 10-23 mark from 19931995. The 1996 season saw a number of changes and much more success as Tech once again joined the ranks of Division I-A Independents and offensive coordinator Gary Crowton was hired as head coach. Crowton, who was known for his great offensive mind and wideopen passing attack, molded quarterbacks Jason Martin and Tim Rattay into two of the nation’s total offense leaders. In 1996, Crowton guided Tech to a 6-5 season, including a 38-23 win at Southeastern Conference foe Mississippi State, while Martin had 3,360 yards and 32 touchdowns. It was just a sign of things to come. The following season, Tech posted a 9-2 mark with wins at Alabama and against California, while sophomore quarterback Tim Rattay led the nation in total offense, passing for 3,881 yards and 34 touchdowns. Rattay shattered his Tech records the following season, passing for 4,943 yards and 46 scores while leading the Bulldogs to a 6-6 record. Rattay’s main target was wide receiver Troy Edwards, who caught 140 passes for 1,996 yards and 27 touchdowns, the latter two marks setting new NCAA records. In a nationally televised game against defending National Champion Nebraska to open the season, Rattay and Edwards showed a preview of what Tech fans had to look forward to as Rattay passed for a school record 590 yards, while Edwards snared 21 passes for 405 yards, a new NCAA single game record. After Crowton departed to the NFL’s Chicago Bears in 1999, Tech Athletics Director Jim Oakes hired Jack Bicknell III as the 30th head coach in school history. Bicknell led Tech to an 8-3 season, a 29-28 upset victory over eventual Southeastern Conference champion Alabama and the school’s first Associated Press Top 25 ranking. Rattay finished his career ranked No. 2 in NCAA history in career passing yards, total offense and touchdown passes. The 1999 season was made even more successful with an October announcement that the university would be making an allsports move to the Western Athletic Conference in the fall of 2001. During the decade of the ’90s, 54 Bulldog players earned all-con-
Louisiana Tech finished its last season as a Division I-A Independent in 2000 with a 3-9 record. During the season, the Bulldogs played perennial powers such as Kansas State, Penn State, Auburn and Miami. Despite playing a difficult schedule, the Bulldogs were still one of the top offensive teams in the country, finishing 7th in the nation for passing offense.

1990: Independence Bowl Appearance Louisiana Tech football opened and closed the 1990s with a bang as the 1990 Bulldog team earned an Independence Bowl berth while the 1999 team earned the school’s first ever Associated Press Top 25 ranking. The 1990s also proved to be the decade for quarterbacks at Tech as the program produced two of the top signal callers in Bulldog history in Jason Martin and Tim Rattay. Coach Joe Raymond Peace led the 1990 Bulldogs, in only the school’s second year as Division I-A Independent, to an 8-3 record during the regular season and an invitation to the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La. The Bulldogs tied Maryland 34-34 in front of over 48,000 fans in one of the most exciting bowl games of the year.

2004: Tech faces Top 25 schedule; Pulls upset over Fresno State Tough wouldn’t describe Louisiana Tech’s schedule in 2004 as the Bulldogs played seven games against eventual bowl-bound teams and six games against teams ranked in the Top 25 at one point of the season. And although Tech’s 6-6 record fell one game short of being bowl eligible, it was still an accomplishment. The biggest moment of 2004 came in Tech’s 28-21 win over No. 17 ranked Fresno State Oct. 2 at Joe Aillet Stadium. Running back Ryan Moats rushed for 236 yards and four scores and the Tech defense intercepted two passes late in the game to seal the victory. Moats shattered the school record with 1,774 yards rushing and 18 touchdowns before declaring himself eligible for the 2005 NFL Draft (third round, Philadelphia Eagles). 2008: Bulldogs Claim Independence Bowl Championship Title Louisiana Tech opened its season with a visit from Southeastern Conference foe Mississippi State, the first SEC team to ever come to Joe Ail-

let Stadium. And after the Mississippi-based Bulldogs left after a 22-14 LA Tech win, they might be the last for a while. The win marked the first win over an SEC team since 1999 when Tech topped eventual SEC champion Alabama 29-28 in Birmingham, Alabama. The Bulldogs continued their winning ways throughout the season, going 7-5 in the regular season and 5-3 in the WAC which was good enough for a second place finish. Included in the seven regular season wins was a 21-0 shutout victory at San Jose State, the first shutout by a Tech team since 1996 and the first road shutout since 1988. Tech earned its first invite to a bowl game since 2001 as the Bulldogs received an invitation to play in the Independence Bowl against Northern Illinois. Tech would capture the 2008 Independence Bowl title by virtue of a 17-10 victory over the Huskies, highlighted by a 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Phillip Livas. The Bowl victory was the first bowl win for the Bulldogs since they won the 1977 Independence Bowl. Running back Daniel Porter became the eighth Louisiana Tech running back to ever rush for over 1,000 yards in a season as he rushed for 1,164 yards and nine touchdowns in 2008. Tech also placed a program record seven players on the All- WAC team, led by first team members in Porter, Livas, defensive tackle D’Anthony Smith and safety Antonio Baker. In 2009 Porter continued to showcase his rushing talents, becoming the school’s all-time leading rusher with 3,352 rushing yards to his credit while Dennis Morris earned all-America honors and was named the College Football Performance Awards’ National Tight End of the Year after leading the country in touchdown receptions among tight ends.

The engine finally shifted gears midway through Dykes first season with a high offensive output in six of the team’s last seven games, including 683 total offensive yards against Idaho, then the fourthmost in school history. The 2011 season had an ominous 1-4 start (losing the season opener in the midst of Tropical Storm Lee in Hattiesburg) but the team rallied off seven-consecutive wins – the most since 1974 – and finished the year winning the WAC title. Tech came within a possession of upsetting No. 15 TCU in the Poinsettia Bowl game to close the season. Sonny Dykes was named the WAC Coach of the Year, Adrien Cole was named the WAC Defensive Player of the Year and was one of 11 All-WAC honorees and the Bulldogs stunned the country in the midst of its winning streak with a 27-7 throttling of Ole Miss. Louisiana Tech’s 2012 season was a year marked by national attention and record-shattering performances as the team finished the year ranked No. 1 in the nation in total offense, scoring and net punting while Freshman All-American Kenneth Dixon broke three of Marshall Faulk’s NCAA Freshman records. Punter Ryan Allen became the first punter to win backto-back Ray Guy Awards and quarterback Colby Cameron won the 2012 Sammy Baugh Award. Tech reached as high as No. 18 in the rankings and finished the year 9-3 but, in its final season in the WAC, was left out of the postseason as the league only had one bowl tie-in and three bowl eligible teams.

B U L L D O G
SAN DIEGO - Fifteenth-ranked TCU scored two fourth quarter touchdowns to complete a 31-24 comefrom-behind victory over Louisiana Tech in the 2011 San Diego Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl Wednesday night at Qualcomm Stadium. With Tech (8-5) leading 24-17 midway through the fourth quarter, TCU running back Luke Shivers completed an impressive 18-play, 72-yard drive with a one-yard plunge with 7:49 to play to tie the game at 24-24. After a three-and-out by the Bulldog offense on its ensuing possession, TCU (11-2) took the lead on a 42-yard strike from Casey Pachall to Skye Dawson with 4:26 to play. The touchdown came on a third-down-and-five play where TCU caught the Bulldogs blitzing and the speedster Dawson beat the LA Tech secondary for the score. Quarterback Colby Cameron and the Bulldog offense had one final opportunity but another three-and-out - the third of the second half - forced a Tech punt and TCU ran out the clock by grinding out two first downs via the ground. The Bulldogs had the momentum in the opening two quarters as Matt Nelson’s 23yard field goal with 8:30 to play in the first quarter gave Tech a 3-0 lead. The score capped a 13-play, 65-yard drive by Tech which was highlighted by a 28-yard pass from Cameron to Quinton Patton that took the Bulldogs down to the TCU 12-yard line. However, Tech was unable to get into the endzone on six plays inside the TCU red zone, forcing the field goal attempt. Following a Hunter Lee fumble inside the TCU 35-yard line late in the first quarter, the Horned Frogs drove deep inside Tech territory and tied the game on a Ross Evans 25-yard field goal with 14:11 to play in the second quarter. Tech countered immediately with a seven-play, 59-yard drive that was capped by Cameron’s two-yard strike to Patton - a play that was initially ruled as an incompletion but that was overturned after instant replay. Nelson’s extra point made it 10-3. The drive was highlighted by a 26-yard toss from Cameron to Taulib Ikharo that took the ball down to the TCU four-yard line. The Bulldogs appeared to have all the momentum heading into half until TCU corner Greg McCoy intercepted a Cameron pass with just over two minutes to play and returned it to the LA Tech 25-yard line. Four plays later, Ed Wesley tied the game on a seven-yard run with only 55 seconds to play in the half. The two teams entered the locker room tied despite the fact Tech ran 21 more offensive plays than the Horned Frogs and outgained TCU 266-144. TCU took its first lead of the contest on their opening drive of the second half as Matthew Tucker scored from one-yard out, ending an 11-play, 55-yard drive. Trailing 17-10, Tech was forced to punt on its next possession but the Bulldogs special teams came up big as Josh Cuthbert recovered a muffed punt by Brandon Carter inside the TCU red zone. Three plays later, Lee hit paydirt from two yards out and the game was tied again at 17-17. After neither team was able to move the ball on their next possessions, the Bulldog defense came up with a turnover as Quinn Giles intercepted Paschall on the Tech 39-yard line. On a third-down-and 10 play, Cameron found Myles White deep over the middle for a 61-yard touchdown. Nelson’s extra point was good as Tech regained the advantage 24-17. TCU then put together the drive of the night, marching 72 yards on 18 plays and tying the game at 24 on a one-yard run by Shivers. The Horned Frogs recorded six first downs on the drive, converting two fourth down conversions and picking up a huge first down on a defensive pass interference call in the end zone on a third-down-and-goal at the nine. The Horned Frogs dominated the time of possession in the second half, holding onto the football for 24 minutes and 10 seconds while running 52 offensive plays to LA Tech’s 21. Cameron finished the game completing 21-of-43 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns with one interception while White (7-110, 1 TD) and Patton (5-67, 1 TD) were his top two targets. Lee rushed 20 times for 64 yards and one score. Defensively, the Bulldogs were led by Jay Dudley (10 tackles, 1 TFL), Justin Goodman (9 tackles, 1.5 TFL) and Jamel Johnson (9 tackles). Tech ends the season 8-5, the most wins by a Tech team since 1999. The Bulldogs also won their second Western Athletic Conference championship and participated in their second bowl game in the last four years.

LA Tech 17, Northern Illinois 10 2008 Inependence Bowl December 28, 2008 Independence Stadium, Shreveport, La.
2 0 0 8 B O W L M E D I A G U I D E It’s no surprise that Louisiana Tech turned to its defense and special teams against Northern Illinois Sunday night at the 33rd Independence Bowl at Independence Stadium. Those units were instrumental all season in leading head coach Derek Dooley and Co. to its first post-season appearance since 2001 and only its third since the program joined the Football Bowl Subdivision in 1989. On Sunday night in Shreveport, once again, they came through leading Tech to a 17-10 win over the Huskies. Phillip Livas, the offensive MVP of the game, got the game started for Tech with a 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the first quarter and then the Bulldogs defense stiffened the rest of the way. After allowing a NIU touchdown on only its second possession, the vs Northern Illinois December 28, 2008 • 7 p.m. Independence Stadium, Shreveport, La. Tech defensive unit limited the Huskies to three points over the final three quarters of play. Senior defensive back Weldon Brown, playing before a home crowd -- Brown prepped at Bossier High School -- , earned defensive MVP honors after recording a careerhigh 14 tackles, one fumble recovery, one interception and a key pass breakup on a NIU fourth down play early in the game. Northern Illinois jumped out to an early 7-0 lead on an 8-yard pass from Chandler Harnish to fullback Kyle Skarb with 1:56 to play in the first quarter. The play culminated an 11-play drive covering 69 yards in 1:56. The lead was short-lived as “Saturday Night” Livas took the ensuing kickoff, ran straight up the middle before veering left towards the Bulldog sideline and raced 97 yards for a touchdown. It was Livas’ second career kickoff return for a touchdown and the sixth longest in Bulldog history. Livas, who also has two punt returns for scores this season, now has four returns for scores in his career, the second most trailing only Larry Anderson with five. The kickoff return was the second longest in Indy Bowl history and the first since Duece McAllister returned one for Ole Miss against Texas Tech in 1998. After a three-and-out by NIU on its next possession, the Bulldogs took a 14-7 lead on an 11-yard Daniel Porter touchdown run with 13:41 to play in the second quarter. The touchdown, which came on a draw play on second and goal, capped a 5-play, 42-yard drive over 2:04. After another three-and-out by NIU, Tech appeared to have threatened again when senior Patrick Jackson took a handoff and raced over 50 yards inside the Huskies 10-yard line but a holding penalty negated the play. After a failed third down attempt brought up a fourth down and seven, Tech attempted a fake punt but Quin Harris was tackled a foot short of the line to gain as NIU took over on the Tech 46-yard line. The game remained 14-7 but the Bulldogs had a golden opportunity to take a bigger lead into the half when Weldon Brown recovered a fumbled punt return by the Huskies with only 36 seconds remaining in the half. However, after three straight incompletions by Ross Jenkins, Brad Oestriecher had a 41-yard field goal attempt partially blocked by Jake Coffman as the Bulldogs entered the halftime locker room leading by a touchdown. Oestriecher redeemed himself early in the third quarter as the Bulldogs marched 49 yards on eight plays and took a 17-7 lead on a 33-yard field goal at the 11:54 mark. NIU answered on its ensuing possession as the Huskies drove 66 yards on 10 plays and connected on a 20-yard field goal by Mike Salerno. The big play for NIU during the drive was a third down completion from Harnish to Marcus Perez that covered 40 yards and gave the Huskies the ball on the Tech 8-yard line. However, little did anyone know that would be the last of the scoring for either team. Over the last five offensive possessions of the game for NIU, the Tech defense held the Huskies to only 103 yards and NIU ventured past midfield only once -- the Bulldogs defense held on a fourth-down-and-five play on its own 46 yard line with less than two minutes to play. The Bulldogs on the other hand had a couple of opportunities to add on to their total as Patrick Jackson fumbled inside the NIU 15-yard line after a 34-yard gain on a screen pass from Ross Jenkins midway through the fourth quarter. Tech also failed to capitalize after Brown intercepted Harnish at the Huskies 37-yard line with 6:25 to play. The Bulldogs lost five yards on their three offensive plays and were forced to punt. heaD CoaCh Derek Dooley

Four third-quarter touchdowns, including two Woody Dantzler scoring passes, were too much for Louisiana Tech to overcome, as the Clemson Tigers downed the Bulldogs 49-24 in the 2001 Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl before 23,472 fans at Bronco Stadium Dec. 31, 2001. Trailing only 14-10 at the half, Tech failed to find an answer for Dantzler and company in the third quarter. Dantzler, who finished the afternoon completing 15 of 23 passes for 218 yards and four touchdowns, found running back Bernard Rambert for perhaps the game’s biggest play early in the second half. Leading 21-10, Rambert caught a short pass out of the backfield on third down, and after appearing to be stopped short, spun out of the arms of four Bulldog tacklers and raced 62 yards down the sideline to give Clemson a 28-10 advantage. The play seemed to take all of the life out of the Bulldogs. A Rambert 21-yard touchdown scamper, followed by an Airese Currie 19-yard jaunt, increased the Tiger lead to 42-10 heading into the final stanza. The loss of All-WAC selections Bobby Gray and Jamie Nichols to first half injuries added to the Bulldogs’ defensive difficulties. After holding Clemson to only 14 points and 207 yards in the first half, the injuryriddled Bulldogs’ defense allowed 35 points and 341 yards in the second stanza. Two Bulldog touchdowns in the fourth quarter, a 34-yard Luke McCown pass to Delwyn Daigre and a Joe Smith two-yard plunge, closed the gap to 49-24. However, Clemson wasn’t satisfied with the score. The Tigers drove down the field in the final three minutes and instead of running out the clock, attempted a pass into the end zone with under 30 seconds left before also attempting to run the ball in from the oneyard line on the game’s final play. Tech took an early 3-0 lead in the first quarter on a Josh Scobee 29-yard field goal on the Bulldogs’ first possession. Clemson scored the game’s first touchdown when Dantzler found tight end Mike Bailey from 10 yards out for a 7-3 lead with 5:48 remaining in the first quarter. The Bulldogs retook the lead at 10-7 when McCown raced in from 11 yards away midway through the second quarter. However, a 15-yard penalty against Tech on the extra point allowed Clemson great field position on its next drive. Two plays later, Dantzler threw his second touchdown pass of the game and Clemson took a 14-10 advantage into the locker room. One of the bright spots for Tech was the play of Daigre, who earned the most valuable player of the game award for the Bulldogs. Daigre caught 10 passes for 178 yards and one touchdown in his final game. Despite the disappointing loss, the Bulldogs finished their season 7-5, including the program’s first Western Athletic Conference title.

1990 Independence Bowl December 15, 1990 Independence Stadium, Shreveport, La.
SHREVEPORT, La. - An Independence Bowl record crowd of 48,325 showed up to see Louisiana Tech and Maryland battle to a 34-34 tie in one of the most exciting games of the bowl season. Chris Boniol’s 29-yard field goal as time expired gave the Bulldogs the tie. Louisiana Tech, participating in its first bowl game since joining the Division I-A ranks prior to the 1989 season, fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter as Maryland running back Troy Jackson scored on a one-yard run and a two-yard run. However, the Bulldogs would not let the predominantly Louisiana Tech crowd down as they fought back to tie the game at 14-14 at the half. Tech’s first touchdown came with 8:30 remaining in the second quarter on a five-yard Michael Richardson run, and Boniol’s extra point made the score 14-7 Terps. Head coach Joe Raymond Peace’s team tied the game with only 0:17 remaining in the first half on a three-yard Jason Davis touchdown run as the two teams entered their respective locker rooms tied at 14. Louisiana Tech came out in the second half and quickly took a 21-14 lead on a Richardson one-yard run. Jackson scored his third touchdown of the game for Maryland, but the extra point failed as Tech led 21-20. The Bulldogs upped their advantage to 28-20 when Gene Johnson hooked up with Bobby Slaughter on a seven-yard scoring toss. A Boniol field goal gave Tech a 31-20 lead. Maryland scored two fourth quarter touchdowns to pull ahead 34-31, the last coming with only 0:52 remaining on a 15-yard touchdown pass from Scott Zolak to Barry Johnson on a fourth down play. Lorenzo Baker returned the ensuing kickoff 41 yards to the Terps 39-yard line setting up the final Boniol heroics. Richardson (81 yards, two scores) and Davis (72 yards, one score) led Tech’s ground attack, while Johnson and Sam Hughes combined to complete 11 of 17 passes for 115 yards and one score.

Tech’s return trip to the Independence Bowl was quite different from the first as East Carolina defeated the Bulldogs 35-13. The Pirates forced four fumbles and intercepted Bulldogs quarterback Eric Barkley three times en route to the victory. ECU took control of the game early, scoring twice in the first quarter. The Pirates pushed their lead to 21-0 on a touchdown run early in the second quarter. The Bulldogs answered less than two minutes later with a 32-yard touchdown strike. Tech cut the lead to 21-10 with a 36-yard field goal less than a minute before the end of the half. The second half was virtually all East Carolina. Swilley booted another 36-yard field goal six minutes into the third quarter, but that was the end of the offensive night for the Bulldogs. Pirate running back Theodore Sutton raced 45 yards for a touchdown with just under seven minutes remaining in the quarter. The Pirates sealed the victory with another touchdown late in the game. ECU rolled up 278 yards rushing on the night, while holding the Bulldogs to only 12 yards on the ground.

1977 Independence Bowl December 17, 1977 State Fair Stadium, Shreveport, La.
Tech used a high-powered passing attack and a stingy defense to defeat the favored University of Louisville, 24-14, in the school’s first Division I bowl game appearance. Bulldog sophomore quarterback Keith Thibodeaux was named the game’s most valuable player, completing 19 of 39 passes for 287 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The Cardinals looked to take control of the game early when safety Kevin Miller returned a Bulldog punt 60 yards for the game’s first touchdown less than two minutes into the contest. However, that was the end of the road for Louisville as Thibodeaux proceeded to pick apart the Cardinal secondary. The Opelousas native drove the Bulldogs 68 yards to paydirt, tying the score. Running back Charlie Lewis capped the drive, punching it in from one yard out. Later in the first quarter Thibodeaux hooked up with receiver George Pree for a 41-yard scoring strike to give the Bulldogs a 13-7 lead. Tech never looked back, pushing its lead to 21-7 late in the first when Thibodeaux connected with tight end Larry McCartney from eight yards out and Lewis added the two-point conversion. Tech added a 21-yard Keith Swilley field goal in the second quarter. Louisville tried to climb back into the game in the third, scoring on a 13-yard run by Miller midway through the quarter. However, that was all the Bulldogs would allow. Tech forced three fumbles, an interception and held the Cardinals to only 11 first downs. The Louisville offense could muster only 100 yards rushing and an astonishing 61 yards through the air.

After gaining only 62 total yards of offense in the first half, Tech had a little more success in the final two quarters of play. However, Gandy’s 10-yard touchdown pass to Mike Sherman with only 0:48 remaining in the game was too little too late as Montana State won the 1984 Division I-AA National Championship. Gandy finished the afternoon, completing 24 of 38 passes for 287 yards and the one score but was intercepted four times by the Bobcats defense. Bradley posted stellar numbers for Montana State, completing 32 of 57 passes for 334 yards and two scores while Bignell registered 10 receptions for 130 yards and two touchdowns.

After an impressive run in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs, Louisiana Tech struggled in the 1984 National Championship game as Montana State defeated the Bulldogs 19-6. After scoring 131 points in its three previous playoff wins to advance to the title game, the Bulldog offense sputtered all afternoon long in large part because of the stellar play of the Bobcats defense, which sacked Tech quarterback Kyle Gandy 11 times. Montana State opened the game with a 33-yard Mark Carter field goal on its second possession after Gandy threw an interception deep in Bulldog territory. Two possessions later, following a blocked punt by Montana State, the Bobcats scored the game’s first touchdown as Kelly Bradley hit Joe Bignell for a 17-yard scoring strike. Carter’s extra point was wide left, but Montana State still led 9-0. Montana State’s defense held Louisiana Tech without a first down in the opening 15 minutes of play while forcing two Bulldog turnovers. The second quarter started better for the Bulldogs as Tech marched down to the Montana State 27-yard line before Gandy fumbled and the Bobcats recovered, ending the Tech scoring threat.

The Legend of the Bulldog The story takes place in the autumn of 1899 when five Tech students were returning home from school. They came upon an old, hungry bulldog sitting under a tree. The boys fed the dog with what food they had and continued their journey. When they finally reached their destination, however, they found that the dog had followed them. Being sensitive young men, they sought permission for the dog to stay the night, and the landlord agreed – if the animal remained in the kitchen. That night the house caught fire. Their overnight guest was the first to awaken. The dog ran from room to room, rousing everyone in the building. Then, after all the other occupants had made their way to safety, one boy remained inside. The bulldog re-entered the smoke-filled house in an apparent attempt to rescue him, not realizing the boy had escaped in a different direction. After the fire was extinguished and smoke had finally cleared, the boys went inside to see if the dog had indeed made it out to safety. But when they entered they found the lifeless bulldog lying in an unburned corner of one room. He had died from the smoke and the heat. Naturally, the young men were shaken due to the death of their new friend. So they picked him up and carried him to the place they had found him the previous day. They then dug a grave and wrapped him in two jackets – one red and the other blue. When the boys returned to school and related their story, the entire campus mourned the death of the homeless dog. The dog with no name had found a place in the hearts of Tech students. Two years later, Tech organized a football team and decided the team needed not only school colors, but a mascot. A unanimous decision was reached as the bulldog, the first hero of Tech, was given the honor and the red and blue blankets he was buried in were made the school colors.

Louisiana Tech University and President Les Guice share a rich history together that spans five decades and has produced family ties that are deeply rooted in a passion for the Bulldogs and Lady Techsters. From an architecture student stepping on the campus for the first time in 1972 to an appointment as Louisiana Tech’s 14th President in 2013, Dr. Guice has shown an unwavering commitment to leadership and service to his alma mater. One of Dr. Guice’s first achievements at Louisiana Tech was earning a bachelor of arts in architecture in 1976. Discovering a passion for engineering under the mentorship of Professor Jack Painter, Dr. Guice went on to earn a master’s degree in civil engineering from Tech in 1978. While working on his master’s degree, Dr. Guice also discovered a passion for teaching and education as a profession. Dr. Guice accepted a position as an assistant professor of civil engineering at Louisiana Tech in 1978 and was promoted to associate professor in 1981. A few short years after earning his Ph.D. in civil engineering from Texas A&M University in 1986, Dr. Guice was named the interim department head of civil engineering in Louisiana Tech’s College of Engineering in 1988 and earned the permanent department head position and full professorship in 1989. As department head, Dr. Guice initiated the formation of the Civil Engineering Advisory Board and the Civil Engineering Distinguished Alumni recognition program, both of which significantly enhanced alumni participation and significantly enhanced fund-raising for the department. Throughout the next decade, Dr. Guice would continue to distinguish himself as an academician, researcher, administrator and leader. His dedication to his students, his faculty and the university would lead to his appointment as Dean of Louisiana Tech’s College of Engineering and Science (COES) in 1999. As Dean, Dr. Guice continued to encourage and support innovations in the curricula. The College’s faculty became increasingly successful in securing external funding for the integrated curriculum which resulted in a transformative redesign of curricula throughout the College. Dr. Guice’s leadership and vision also reinvigorated the Engineering and Science Foundation to more effectively serve the needs of the College. He initiated a new integrated strategic plan, known as “COES 2010,” and capital campaign, “Tech’s BEST,” that led advancement of the college and to funding for an Eminent Scholar Chair, 15 Professorships, $500k Scholarship Fund, and several new laboratories and facilities. Dr. Guice’s leadership also helped to guide the Institute for Micromanufacturing (IfM) toward a focus on the emerging field of nanotechnology. With the hiring of key nanotechnology faculty in numerous disciplines, further expansion of research laboratories, establishment of an interdisciplinary engineering PhD program with a nanotechnology track, and initiation of a B.S. in Nanosystems Engineering, the IfM and COES established strong research and education nanotechnology programs that have received national recognition. In 2004, Dr. Guice’s performance and accomplishments as dean of the College of Engineering and Science led to his appointment as Louisiana Tech’s vice president for research and development. During his tenure as vice president and as executive vice president in 2012, Louisiana Tech has significantly increased patents, licenses/options, start-up companies, SBIR grants with affiliated companies, and has established strong industry partnerships for commercialization of technologies. Dr. Guice also led the establishment of Louisiana Tech’s first two technology incubators, the Rawle and Humana Enterprise Centers. With a focus on the future and a progressive vision for economic development, Dr. Guice has led the planning and development of the Louisiana Tech Enterprise Campus – a research park connecting the university and downtown Ruston. Enterprise Campus’ first building, Tech Pointe, was completed in 2012 and is now home for several companies and organizations, including an Air Force funded Cyberspace Research Laboratory. With the recent completion of Louisiana Tech’s new College of Business building and renovation to University Hall as a home for interdisciplinary entrepreneurship and innovation activities, the first phase
LATechSports.com
of Enterprise Campus is nearing completion. Dr. Guice’s reputation for exemplary leadership has not been bound by the campus or the region. Roles in statewide leadership have included election to serve as the founding Chair for the Louisiana Optical Network Initiative (LONI) Management Council, serving as Chair of the Louisiana EPSCoR Committee, and leading the development of a statewide science and technology plan, called FIRST Louisiana. Dr. Guice currently serves as Chair of the Board of Regents Master Plan Research Advisory Council and as the University of Louisiana System’s representative on Governor Bobby Jindal’s Louisiana Innovation Council. Among the many awards and recognitions Dr. Guice has earned during his career is the Robert E. Russ Award from the Ruston/Lincoln Parish Chamber of Commerce (2009), Outstanding Civil Engineer from the ASCE Louisiana Section (2008), Louisiana Tech University Civil Engineering Distinguished Alumnus (2007), Louisiana Engineering Society’s James M. Todd Technological Accomplishment Award (2007), Governor’s University Technology Leader of the Year Award (2006), and Louisiana Engineering Society A.B. Patterson Medal for an Engineer in Management (2004.) On December 4, 2012, during a special session of the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors, Dr. Guice was unanimously voted to serve as the 14th President of Louisiana Tech University. Dr. Guice officially took over as President on July 1, 2013. As President of Louisiana Tech, Dr. Guice is the chief executive officer of north Louisiana’s only Carnegie Foundation national research university and one of only two public universities from Louisiana recognized in the top tier of national universities in the U.S. News and World Report. Dr. Guice leads a university that most recently has been ranked #11 in the nation in a list of “Most Underrated Colleges In America” (Business Insider), #17 in the nation in a list of “Low Cost Colleges with High Starting Salaries for Graduates” (Affordable Colleges Online), and #21 in the nation for providing its graduates with the best returns on their investments (AdvisorOne.) Throughout his career, Dr. Guice has contributed to and played a central role in creating the culture and vision for the future of Louisiana Tech, and continues that commitment as President. Dr. Guice’s focus on campus-wide engagement, building and growing relationships, and leadership in forging a path toward advancement of the university’s academic and athletic programs, research and commercialization activities, and economic development efforts means that Louisiana Tech University’s best days are yet to come. Dr. Guice is a native of Monroe and grew up in Bastrop. He and his wife, Kathy, have three sons – Kyle, Chad, and Bret – and one grandson, Christopher.

TOMMY McClelland Director of Athletics
F O O T B A L L

@LATechFB
“Tommy is a rising star in the college athletics administration field and, in my view, the ideal leader to advance Louisiana Tech’s athletics program as it transitions into Conference USA,” said Ian McCaw, athletics director at Baylor University. “He possesses impeccable integrity and has an extraordinary work ethic. Moreover, his interpersonal and relational skills are outstanding and will enable him to quickly connect with Bulldog fans as well as campus and community leaders.” McClelland devised a plan to resurrect the “M” Club for former student-athletes. He also negotiated a new syndicated radio network for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and baseball. Included in that deal was the first ever radio station solely dedicated to broadcasting women’s basketball. McClelland also re-negotiated the football program’s TV replay contract, increasing the coverage area from one station to three different stations as well as the internet. One of McClelland’s main goals was to improve the life of the student-athletes and increase the game-day experience for the McNeese State fan base. One of the most effective ways to accomplish these goals was by improving the facilities, something in which he succeeded. During his time at McNeese State, he oversaw a combined total of over $11 million dollars in facility renovation and new construction. The combination of increased revenue streams, renovations and new construction, and a highly-involved fan base led to plenty of success stories on the playing fields. During his tenure as athletic director, McNeese won Southland Conference championships in football (2007, 2009), soccer (2006, tournament; 2007, regular season), softball (2010, tournament; 2013, regular season), men’s basketball (2011, regular season), women’s basketball (2011, regular season; 2011 and 2012 tournament) and men’s cross country (2012). The women’s basketball program made its first appearances ever in the NCAA Tournament and the men’s basketball program hosted the first round of the NIT postseason tournament (Boston College live on ESPNU). Even more impressive is the fact that while the Cowboy and Cowgirl programs were capturing titles on the fields, the University’s studentathletes were making tremendous strides in the classroom. In five of the six years, McNeese State led the Southland Conference with studentathletes being named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. In addition, McClelland guided the resurgence in APR success in Lake Charles. During his six years McNeese State, the number of athletic programs boasting the required APR score of 925 went from four to all 16 this past year. The community service hours performed by the MSU student-athletes also tripled to over 3,000 during his tenure. “Tommy has a great knowledge of college athletics and excels at helping his student-athletes balance and succeed in their commitments

Louisiana Tech hired one of the rising young stars in the industry when University President Les Guice introduced Tommy McCelland as the new athletics director during a press conference held at the Charles Wyly Athletic Center on July 16. McClelland, who is the youngest AD among all Football Bowl Subdivision athletic programs, joins the LA Tech Family after serving a six-year stint in the same position at McNeese State in Lake Charles. “I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to join the Louisiana Tech Family,” said McClelland. “This is an institution that has a great academic and athletic reputation throughout the country as well as a storied past and a bright future. There is positive momentum that comes from a new conference affiliation, a new president and great coaches. There has never been a more exciting time to be a part of the Tech Family. “To the fans and supporters of Louisiana Tech, I want you to know that my family and I look forward to getting to know you all in the near future. This truly is an exciting time, and I am proud and honored to be your athletics director.” Guice introduced McClelland to an overflowing room of Louisiana Tech supporters, coaches and administrators during the lunch-time press conference held in the Guthrie Jarrell Room. “Tommy McClelland has demonstrated strong leadership skills and success in his early years as an athletics director,” said Guice. “He has an extraordinary blend of intellect, character, talent, and drive that makes him one of the top young athletics directors in the nation. He articulated a vision for Tech Athletics that is consistent with mine and compatible with my vision for our entire university. “I am thrilled that we have him leading our athletics program as we make our move into Conference USA, and I know that our Tech Family will see the benefits of Tommy’s leadership skills in elevating our athletics program.” McClelland has made a national name for himself during his career after quickly elevating to the athletics director position at age 26. He has earned high praise from a number of high-profile, experienced athletic administrators. “Tommy McClelland is an outstanding leader and one of the nation’s rising stars in intercollegiate athletics,” said Bubba Cunningham, athletics director at the University of North Carolina. “He has a demonstrated commitment to supporting and developing his coaches and student-athletes, and has already become well-known amongst ADs for his leadership, vision, and character. Tommy has also shown a dedication to lifelong learning and the application of his skills and talents to making his athletic programs better.” Prior to being named athletic director at McNeese State on March 19, 2008, McClelland served as interim athletic director and assistant athletic director of internal affairs at the university. In his time at McNeese, McClelland and his staff had numerous success stories when it came to increased revenue streams and the overall game-day experience in Lake Charles. He started the “Partner with the Pokes” program that provides a smaller, more attractive sponsorship package for local small businesses. On top of the “Partner with the Pokes” program, McClelland raised over $3 million in private donations since April of 2007, and he was instrumental in increasing corporate sponsorships to nearly $1 million, while securing new clients and multiyear sponsorships. McClelland was also responsible for increasing football season ticket sales as the program eclipsed the 8,000 mark in 2008 with a high of 8,035 in 2009. In addition, he was instrumental in setting single game attendance records in baseball, volleyball, softball, soccer, women’s basketball and women’s tennis. In addition to increasing private and corporate donations as well as season ticket sales, McClelland was also successful with engaging the McNeese State fan base. He created and implemented the multicity summer “Cowboy Round-Up Tour,” which allowed McNeese State coaches, administrators and athletics staff to carry the department’s message and vision to fans and donors across the south.

LIBERATOS
Faculty Athletics Representative
Dr. James Liberatos enters his 16th year as faculty athletics representative for Louisiana Tech University. Since arriving at Tech in 1989, Liberatos has been responsible for so much more than just molding young minds as a professor of biology. In 1996, he was named a member of the Louisiana Tech Athletics Council and in 1998 was elevated to chair of the council. Also in 1998, Liberatos started serving as chair of the Louisiana Tech Athletics Hall of Fame. As faculty representative, Liberatos has been designated by the university to serve as a liaison between the institution and the athletics department, and also as a representative of the institution in conference and NCAA affairs. He does so to ensure that the academic institution establishes and maintains the appropriate balance between academics and intercollegiate athletics. In 2002, Liberatos gained even more responsibilities as he was named dean of the College of Applied and Natural Sciences. A native of Charleston, South Carolina, Liberatos earned a bachelor of science in biology from the College of Charleston in 1980. He continued his education at Florida State University earning a master’s in science in 1982 and a PHD in biology in 1986. Liberatos is an avid swimmer who also enjoys fishing.

BUTLER
Associate A.D./Athletic Communications
Malcolm Butler begins his 15th year in the Louisiana Tech Athletics Department, his seventh as the associate athletic director in charge of communications. A 1994 graduate of the Louisiana Tech journalism department, Butler joined the athletic department in July of 1999 as the assistant athletic media relations director. Butler was then promoted to director four months later and served in that capacity until the fall of 2007 when he was promoted to associate athletic director. The Ruston native is in charge of media relations for women’s basketball, softball and men’s golf and also serves as the secondary contact for football while overseeing the daily operations for the entire department. During his time at Louisiana Tech, Butler has been instrumental in promoting numerous high-profile student-athletes including record-setting quarterbacks Tim Rattay and Luke McCown, All-American women’s basketball players Tamicha Jackson and Cheryl Ford. He has also worked closely with a number of highly-successful head coaches, including 4-time Hall of Famer Leon Barmore, former Tennessee head football coach Derek Dooley and current Lady Techster women’s basketball coach Teresa Weatherspoon. Over the course of his tenure, Louisiana Tech’s Media Relations Department has proven to be one of the best in the state of Louisiana. Over the past 12 years, members of the Tech media relations department have won a total of 44 awards at the annual Louisiana Sports Writers Association (LSWA) state SID contest -- the second most behind only LSU. During that same period of time, Butler has garnered 27 of those

In addition, Hungate and the current senior staff have also garnered a number of national awards, including the 2010 Turnkey PRISM Award which recognizes colleges for managerial excellence across four areas: marketing/branding; fan development; community relations; and customer/client service. The Tech athletics department has also finished in the Top 10 three times in the Excellence in Management Cup, which recognizes the most efficient athletic departments in the nation. Hungate serves a vital role in the hiring of coaches. Hungate proved instrumental in the decision by former Tech Kodak All-American and Hall of Famer Teresa Weatherspoon - who played for Hungate in the late80s - to return to Louisiana Tech in June of 2008. Weatherspoon has led the program to a trifecta of Western Athletic Conference titles and two NCAA Tournament appearances. She also served as the point person in the hiring process of head women’s soccer coach Kevin Sherry and women’s tennis coach Freddy Gomez. Sherry led the Lady Techster soccer team to five straight winning seasons (the first ones in program history), the program’s first ever WAC victories and its first appearances in the WAC Tournament in 2010 and 2012. Gomez took a program that had won only one WAC match since the University joined the league in 2001 and in his first season (2012-13) led the Lady Techsters to a 7-1 mark in conference action and the No. 3 seed in the postseason tournament. Gomez accomplished this with a roster that included four freshmen and only two seniors. Another of Hungate’s responsibilities includes overseeing the academic side of the Tech athletics department, another area which has improved drastically as proven by the fact LA Tech’s graduation rate continues to be one of the highest in the state (Federal Graduation Report). This past year Tech student-athletes boasted an all-time high 76 percent four-year graduation success rate while the Bulldog golf team earned an NCAA Public Recognition Award for the third straight year. For the fifth consecutive year, Louisiana Tech saw impressive improvements in the majority of its Academic Progress Rates (APR) as all 16 of its NCAA sanctioned programs are penalty free for the third consecutive year. Hungate also plays an important role in LA Tech’s NCAA Certification process. As a member of the Steering Committee and the liaison between the athletic department and the University’s Self Study Committees, she provides the information needed for the committees to write their reports. In 2006, LA Tech completed its second NCAA Certification cycle and once again was certified without conditions. Hungate joined the Louisiana Tech staff in 1985 as an assistant women’s basketball coach and remained in that role for five years. During that time, the Lady Techsters participated in four Final Fours and won the NCAA National Championship in 1988. In 1990, Hungate made a move out of coaching and became assistant athletics director for academics and compliance as well as senior woman administrator. One of Hungate’s early accomplishments as assistant director of athletics was the creation of the Louisiana Tech Athletic Academic Center program. Hungate has served terms on the NCAA Division I Academics/ Eligibility/Compliance Cabinet, the NCAA Division I Interpretations/Legislative Review Subcommittee, the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators Wade Trophy Selection Committee and as an NCAA Peer Reviewer. She has also served on the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Issues Committee since 2004. During LA Tech’s time as a member of the WAC, Hungate served on the Western Athletic Conference Council, the Conferences’ Legislative Review Committee, the Finance Committee and the Code Book Committee. She also currently represents the athletics department as an exofficio member of the LA Tech Athletics Council. Hungate’s professional career began as Women’s Sports Coordinator and head volleyball, head basketball and head softball coach at Illinois’ Carl Sandburg Junior College. She spent four seasons at the college where she guided the basketball team to a mark of 80-22 which included an 11th place finish in the 1976 NJCAA national tournament. In 1978 Hungate took over the head coaching position at Richwoods High School in Peoria, Ill., and quickly compiled one of the top prep coaching records in the nation. During her seven seasons at Richwoods High School, Hungate’s team ran up an impressive record of 195-13, including a state-record 63 consecutive victories. Hungate was named the National Coach of the Year by USA Today in 1985. Before coming to Louisiana Tech, Hungate amassed a career coaching record of 275-35.
