We’ve got so many of the ingredients in place. My vision is to continue to progress Louisiana Tech in national prominence, but to turn that national prominence into things that bring benefit to North Louisiana, to our citizens of this state and to all of the students and stakeholders of the university.” -- D r. Les Guice, University President

2014 SEASON PREVIEW
36
Excitement throughout the defense and growth in the offense are the main themes for Louisiana Tech heading into the 2014 season and those will need to happen fast as the Bulldogs face one of the toughest schedules in September of any team in the country. The excitement with the defense comes with the new staff highlighted by new defensive coordinator Manny Diaz, most recently of Texas and Mississippi State in the same capacity. Said to be one of the brightest minds in college football, Diaz spent spring practice introducing a new, aggressive, energetic brand of football to the defense in preparation for the fall. Diaz isn’t the only new face on the coaching staff as he and Skip Holtz brought former Texas defensive ends coach Oscar Giles to coach the defensive line while former Texas and Arkansas State safeties coach Blake Baker also joined the staff. The staff remained the same on the offensive side of the ball and stability should yield results, as should returning players gaining a season’s worth of experience a year after eight starters were lost due to graduation.
Defense
For the first time in several years the Bulldogs defense won’t be looking to the defensive line for leadership and experience after graduating four players, two of which – Justin Ellis and IK Enemkpali – being selected in the NFL Draft. For the 2014 edition it will be the secondary providing leadership and experience as the back seven lost only one player to graduation over the offseason: linebacker Daniel Cobb. A trio of seniors are expected to lead the linebacking corps with Terrell Pinson being moved up from safety and Tony Johnson and Mitch Villemez returning for their senior season. Villemez was a solid player last season, starting all 12 games and will likely do the same this year. He is hard to miss

on the field with his long locks of red hair being grown out to be donated for Locks of Love and was also hard to miss with his team-leading three forced fumbles last season. Johnson will be a significant player to watch at linebacker this fall and his 6-foot-2, 255-pound frame makes him hard to miss on the field as well, albeit without the long, red hair. He spent most of last season in a limited role but grew into playing time late in the season as well as spending some time as a blocking fullback on the offensive side of the ball. Several freshman linebackers are joining the roster this fall and all of them could see time this season including Solomon Hunter and Quanta Moore. The back-end of the defense returns all of its starters from last season and should continue to show improvement throughout the course of the season. Le’Vander Liggins is one of the few seniors in the unit at cornerback and will lead that group along with junior Adairius Barnes. Those two combined for five interceptions and 12 pass break-ups last season and, along with Bryson Abraham, will be the primary players at corner with Jabari Prewitt helping at times with Roland Dunn being able to assist as well if he is not redshirted. At safety, Xavier Woods played in all 12 games as a freshman and will be another one of the young stars of the Bulldogs secondary this fall. He finished his rookie campaign ranked fourth on the team with 61 total tackles and was credited with two pass break-ups. He is backed up by Ruston native Kentrell Brice who recovered two fumbles and contributed 54 total tackles last season. At the other safety position, Lloyd Grogan came on strong at the end of last season and finished with 39 tackles while Thomas McDonald was second on the team with 60 total tackles, adding three interceptions and five pass break-ups.
Several players will be stepping into starting roles on the defensive line this fall but all of them have already recorded significant playing time. Vontarrius Dora leads the group in games started and was critical in 10 games played last season despite an injured shoulder. He is expected to expand upon his 31 total tackles (6.5 of which were for a loss) this fall. On the other side of the ball, Illinois transfer Houston Bates will be an important injection into the starting line-up bringing much needed game experience to the group. At tackle, the quartet of DeAngelo Brooks, Vernon Butler, Devon McKinney and Malcolm Pichon are all serviceable with a combined 94 total tackles and 10.5 tackles for a loss last season.
Offense
In a case of déjà vu, the question of who will start at quarterback rears its ugly head for Louisiana Tech yet again entering the 2014 season. Ryan Higgins and Scotty Young each had six starts last season and split time at the position as neither player was able to command control of the position. The question was temporarily solved after spring practice when Scotty Young decided to hang up his cleats but the transfer of Cody Sokol from Iowa reopens the question entering fall camp. Higgins has the advantage of experience in Ruston, playing in nine games last season while starting six – but struggled with turnovers as he threw 13 picks with only six touchdown passes last season. Sokol was a hot commodity coming out of junior college two years ago but redshirted his first year at Iowa and lost the starting job last season and only played in one game so rust could be a factor. Also factoring into the position will be two incoming freshman – Price Wilson and Alex Woodall. Likely redshirt candidates, Wilson and Woodall could have an opportunity to see action if Higgins and

on the line and are the only two returning starters. Bell, a tackle, will have a critical role on the right side while Carter is a steady hand at left guard. Joseph Brunson was forced to sit out last season after transferring from Louisiana-Lafayette and is expected to start at center while Cam Manning will back him up. At right guard, Richard Greenwalt should be a steady hand in his senior season backed up by Kirby Wixson while Josh Robinson should back up Carter on the left side. Darrell Brown and Chris Aye will likely split time at left tackle.
Special Teams
For want of consistency. That is the motto going into the 2014 season on all aspects of special teams. Kyle Fischer was manageable as the team’s placekicker last season and even set a school record with five made field goals in a game (at FIU) but he was also streaky on the whole. After a redshirt season, Jonathan Barnes is expected to push Fischer for the kicking duties. Logan McPherson was serviceable in the punting duties last season but, with consistency being needed, will need to improve entering the fall to keep his job. Gerald Shouse could vie for some snaps and freshman Will Parker has the ability to boot the ball. The same questions that surrounded the team in punting last season are revived in the off-season again this year with Parker being an added element. The deep snapper position is the one area of the Bulldogs program that has not deviated in several decades and that should continue into 2014 with Darrell Travis taking over the snapping duties from the now graduated Josh Cuthbert. Travis got a sample of the job last season when Cuthbert was sidelined with a back injury for two games and should step into the role without incident this fall.
Schedule
be hard pressed to find a tougher September schedule than what awaits Louisiana Tech in 2014. Through the first five weeks of play, four of the first five games are on the road against teams that went to bowl games last season. The first three games happen within the first 13 days of the season (and again, all on the road). LA Tech opens the year at Oklahoma, a team that will begin the season in the top five in the national rankings and is coming off a 45-31 throttling of Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. The following Saturday the Bulldogs will play at Louisiana-Lafayette in the teams’ first meeting since 2004. Tech will put a six-game series winning streak on the line as it faces a Ragin’ Cajun squad that has been to bowl games the past three consecutive years. After facing ULL it will be a quick turnaround for Louisiana Tech as the Bulldogs open Conference USA play at North Texas on a Thursday night (Sept. 11). The home slate opens on Sept. 20 as the old State Fair Rivalry is renewed for the 78th time when Northwestern State visits Joe Aillet Stadium but then the Bulldogs turn around and hit the road again the following week as they face Auburn. The Tigers are coming off a season where they were edged in the BCS National Championship game in the final minute by Florida State. Conference USA play starts up again in October for LA Tech as the Bulldogs host UTEP in the CTB RED OUT Game on Oct. 4 then hosting UTSA on Oct. 18. A Rivalry in Dixie is renewed on Oct. 25 when Tech travels to face a young, up-and-coming Southern Miss squad before hosting Western Kentucky for Homecoming on Nov. 1 on the 40th anniversary of Louisiana Tech’s win over WKU for the Division II National Championship in 1974. LA Tech will play at Legion Field against UAB on Nov. 8 then face Old Dominion for the first time on Nov. 22 before hosting Rice to end the season on Nov. 29.

Sokol lack consistency early on. On the opposite end of the spectrum is the running back position as Kenneth Dixon returns for his junior year. The staple of Tech’s offense last season, he ran for 917 yards in 10 games played (but saw limited action in two of those contests). Tevin King is back as well after running for 539 yards in nine games last season, missing some time due to a high ankle sprain sustained at UTEP. King’s goal in 2014 will be to stay healthy after an ACL injury in 2012 and the ankle sprain last season has limited his time on the field. Durable replacements for Dixon and King wait in the wings starting with Blake Martin, a tailback that exemplifies toughness. Martin took over for King at tailback at UTEP after King’s injury and played the rest of the game, despite separating his shoulder early on. Not only did he refuse to come out of the game, he only allowed the coaching staff to take him off of one of his four special teams units after they told him he would be seeing more time at running back. A separated shoulder is painful; running for 88 yards on nine carries including a 62-yard touchdown run with a separated shoulder will be a story that will become the basis for legend in Tech lore. Marlon Seets waits behind Martin for playing time and came on late in the season last year as he ran for 267 yards on 54 carries with two touchdowns. Like Martin, Seets is also an important contributor on special teams units as well. Incoming freshmen Jarred Craft and Tywun Walters further add depth to an already deep roster. Offensive line coach Matt Moore again has one of the toughest jobs in the country and will earn every penny he will be paid in 2014. A year after he lost four starters to graduation, Moore will recalibrate the front lines yet again after losing three starters to graduation. Sorry Coach Moore, this is not the movie Groundhog Day. Mitchell Bell and Tre Carter started a combined 17 games last season

(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 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.

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. In his first season he inherited a team that lost 35 seniors with seven being invited to NFL camps (two through the NFL Draft) and brought together the team as it entered a new conference (Conference USA) under a new President and new Athletics Director, going 4-8. 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 during the introductory press conference. “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 then Louisiana Tech PresidentElect Dr. Les Guice. “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. 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). In his first season at South Florida, Holtz promptly led the Bulls to their fifth consecutive eight-win 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 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

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.

Blake Baker was hired to coach the safeties for Louisiana Tech as he joined the LA Tech Family in February 2014. Baker joins the program after spending one month at Boise State in a non-coaching role and after helping guide Arkansas State to a Sun Belt Conference co-championship and a GoDaddy Bowl win over Ball State in 2013. He coached a squad that was ranked third in the Sun Belt in scoring defense (26.2 points per game) and third in pass defense (232.9 yards per Safeties game). He coached All-Sun Belt Conference Second Team honoree Sterling Young who registered 80 tackles, two interceptions, two pass break@BlakeWBaker ups and three fumbles recovered on the season. “I am very excited to have Blake Baker join our staff,” Holtz said. “Blake will be a great fit with our staff and University, having worked with [defensive coordinator] Manny Diaz before and having a strong familiarity with the state of Louisiana. He is a tireless worker, whether it be coaching kids on the field to success or recruiting kids to the program. He will be a great asset to our coaching staff and the LA Tech Family.” Baker went to A-State after spending 2010 through 2012 as a defensive graduate assistant coach at the University of Texas. He worked closely with the both the Longhorns’ linebackers and defensive backs, two position groups that included eight All-Big 12 selections over the last two years. He also helped coach All-American linebacker and Lott Trophy finalist Emmanuel Acho and cornerback Quandre Diggs, the 2011 Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year. He was a part of the Texas coaching staff in 2011 that led the Longhorns to a No. 11 national ranking in total defense, yielding just 306.8 yards per game. The 2011 Longhorns’ defense also ranked among the top 20 teams in the nation in rush defense (96.2 ypg), pass efficiency defense (111.0) and tackles for loss (7.4 pg). Texas won 17 games in Baker’s two years on the coaching staff, including a 21-10 victory over California in the 2011 Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl and a 31-27 win against Oregon State in the 2012 Valero Alamo Bowl. Baker not only worked with Harsin the last two years at Texas, but also with current Longhorns head coach Mack Brown and Florida head coach Will Muschamp during his tenure at the school. Prior to joining the Texas staff, Baker spent the 2009 season as a wide receivers coach at Clear Springs High School in Houston, Texas, before taking over duties as linebackers coach the following spring. The Houston native was a four-year letterman and three-year starter at Tulane from 2000-04, helping lead the Green Wave to a win in the 2002 Hawaii Bowl.

Louisiana Tech head coach Skip Holtz announced on Jan. 17, 2013 that Ronnie Bradford has joined the staff as defensive backs coach and special teams coordinator. In his first year in Ruston, Bradford guided talented group of cornerbacks including two – Adairius Barnes and Bryson Abraham – that recorded multiple interceptions in games during the 2013 season. Barnes led the Bulldogs with four interceptions returned for 70 yards, including a pick-six Cornerbacks/Special Teams at UTSA. Coordinator Bradford was most recently the safeties coach for Memphis during @LockDown 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. “Ronnie Bradford brings a different dimension to our staff because of his 10 years of playing experience in the National Football League,” said 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).

Louisiana Tech head football coach Skip Holtz named former Texas and Mississippi State defensive coordinator Manny Diaz has been hired in the same capacity with the Bulldogs on January 21, 2014. Diaz brings an impressive resume that includes 14 years of experience and appearances in 12 bowl games. He was most recently the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Texas (2011-13), a team that showed vast improvement in run defense during his tenure. Defensive Coordinator/ Diaz inherits a defense that was the fourth most-improved unit in the Linebackers country. Overall LA Tech ranked 63rd in the nation in total defense in 2013, @Coach_MannyDiaz allowing an average of 408.2 yards per game. In 2012, Diaz guided a defense that allowed just 212.0 passing yards per game, despite playing in a Big 12 that featured five of the nation’s top 10 passing offenses, while also leading the conference in both sacks and TFL. With the loss of both DE Jackson Jeffcoat and LB Jordan Hicks to injury, the unit steadily improved throughout the second half of the season, especially as Diaz’s young linebacking unit was able to gain experience. Safety Kenny Vaccaro earned All-America honors from Pro Football Weekly, while DE Alex Okafor was named first-team All-Big 12 and won the CFPA Elite Defensive Lineman Trophy. Both were selected in the 2013 NFL Draft with Vaccaro in the first round and Okafor in the fourth. During his first season at Texas, Diaz led the top defense in the Big 12 as the Longhorns ranked first in the conference in total defense, rushing defense and pass defense. Overall the unit ranked 11th nationally in total defense and was sixth against the run despite facing six offenses that ranked in the top 15 nationally. All 12 opponents were held to below their average total yards with eight managing more than 100 yards below the average and two over 200 yards less. Emmanuel Acho was a first team All-Big 12 selection and Keenan Robinson was a Butkus Award semifinalist. Acho and Robinson were both selected in the 2012 NFL Draft. In 2010 with Mississippi State, Diaz guided a defense that ranked 22nd in the nation in scoring defense (19.9 ppg), 17th in rushing defense (214.9 ypg) and 17th in tackles for loss (7.0 pg). That was a dramatic turnaround for MSU from the season prior to his arrival. In 2009, the defense finished 71st in scoring defense, 62nd in rushing defense and 89th in TFL. Mississippi State also finished ranked 13th in red-zone defense (.73) and 22nd in turnovers forced (28) nationally in 2010. The 2010 defense held seven opponents to 20 points or fewer, which includes only 17 points to Auburn, which had the nation’s fourth-ranked scoring offense. Mississippi State’s nine wins in 2010 were the most for the school since a 10-2 record in 1999 and was just the second winning season for the program since 2001. The Bulldogs finished ranked No. 15/17, its highest final ranking since 1999 (No. 13/12). That is the only time MSU has ranked higher than 18th in the final polls since 1981. Prior to Mississippi State, Diaz spent four seasons as defensive coordinator at MTSU. Diaz also coached linebackers for two years after mentoring the safeties during his first two years. In four years under Diaz, the Middle Tennessee defense led its conference in sacks and tackles for loss twice, and finished no lower than third in the league in either category during his tenure. In 2009, the Blue Raiders finished second nationally in tackles for loss, stopping more than eight and a half plays per game behind the line of scrimmage. Diaz’s defense also ranked sixth nationally in sacks that season, posting nearly three per game. Also in 2009, Diaz tutored defensive end Chris McCoy who was tabbed the Sun Belt Conference co-Defensive Player of the Year. Overall, Diaz’s unit produced 17 all-conference players during his time there and put up three of the top four fewest yards allowed averages at Middle Tennessee in its FBS era. Before joining Middle Tennessee, Diaz played a major role for one of the country’s top-ranked defenses by coaching safeties in 2004-05 and handling the linebackers in 2002-03 for NC State. In 2005, the Wolfpack finished eighth nationally in total defense, sixth in third-down percentage, and 12th in scoring defense en route to a 7-5 record and a shutout win over South Florida in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. Diaz spent the 2000 and 2001 seasons at NCSU as a graduate assistant working primarily with the linebackers. During that time, the Wolfpack went to two bowl games and became the first ACC team to beat FSU in Tallahassee. Diaz, whose father recently concluded his second term as mayor of the City of Miami, began his coaching career at Florida State in 1998, working alongside defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews for two seasons. During his stint, the Seminoles won a National Championship in 1999 and were runners-up in 1998. He worked at ESPN from 1995 to 1997 after earning his B.S. in communications from FSU, and in high school, he was a Miami Herald Honorable Mention All-Dade County Scholar-Athlete for football, basketball and baseball in 1991. The Miami native is married to the former Stephanie Cerow and they have three sons, Colin, Gavin, and Manny.

Louisiana Tech head coach Skip Holtz announced on Dec. 24, 2012 that Jabbar Juluke has joined the football coaching staff as an assistant coach. In his first season, he helped guide Kenneth Dixon to 917 rushing yards over 10 games played and over 1,900 yards among Tech’s tailbacks as a whole. Juluke came to Louisiana Tech after serving as head coach at Edna Running Backs Karr High School in New Orleans the last nine years. While at Edna Karr, he compiled an 80-39 record (.672 winning percentage) capped off with a 14-0 @CoachJuluke mark and a Louisiana state championship in 2012. Over the past four years, Juluke has guided Edna Karr HS to a 49-8 mark (.860 winning percentage). “Jabbar has been a very successful high school coach in New Orleans, having played in the last three state championships,” Holtz said. “The thing that excited me the most about Jabbar when I had the opportunity to sit and talk to him was not just his X’s and O’s and his knowledge of the game but the way he relates to people. Growing up in the inner city of New Orleans and now building Edna Karr High School to what he has built it to, I think he is a tremendous addition and he gives us a great Louisiana flavor on this staff.” Juluke has guided Edna Karr to three consecutive state championship appearances along with winning seven of the past nine district championships with the other two years finishing as the district runner-up. Over his tenure, Edna Karr has signed over 70 players to collegiate football scholarships. “Growing up in New Orleans, he has been around high school football in New Orleans for a long time. He brings a vast knowledge of the area but also brings a relationship with the high school coaches in the New Orleans area,” Holtz continued. “Being the largest city in the state of Louisiana, that is definitely a place where we need to have a footprint for Louisiana Tech.” Prior to serving as head coach at Edna Karr, Juluke was the defensive coordinator for four years at Frederick Douglas High School in New Orleans and was a wide receivers coach at Brother Martin for one year before that. He got his start in coaching as a defensive backs coach and special teams coordinator at O.P. Walker High School in New Orleans where he spent one year before moving over to St. Augustine High School where he was a linebackers coach for two years. “I am extremely excited to join the Louisiana Tech staff,” Juluke said. “Coach Holtz is a very enthusiastic individual and I am looking forward to helping out the program as best I can. I am very humbled to have the opportunity to coach at the collegiate level as it has been a goal of mine for some time. I am very appreciative of the opportunity and I look forward to working very hard for the University to continue the success for this football program.” A native of south Louisiana, Juluke helped lead Southern to a Black National Championship in 1993 as a senior safety on the Jaguars and lettered in both football and basketball. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology from Southern in 1999. Juluke is married to the former Denise Smith. The couple has two children - Jahmad Juluke and Jamari Juluke while Denise has another son, Dyruius, whom Juluke is a stepfather to.

MATT
MOORE
Assistant Head Coach/ Offensive Line @Moore1972Matt
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. In his first season at Tech, Moore coached a squad that last four starters to graduation. Entering year two, his unit lost another three starters to graduation. Moore came 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 entire career. “I am very excited to have Matt Moore join our staff,” said Holtz. “He 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 @TonyPetersen17 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.” In his first season at Tech he inherited an offensive unit that lost eight starters to graduation with a quarterbacks group that had never taken a collegiate snap. That 2013 season saw four wins with another three games decided by 10 points or less. 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 joined 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 Outside Receivers had the opportunity to coach at the professional level the last few years. He is a Louisiana Tech guy; this is his school, this is where he played and this is @CoachTimRattay 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 joined 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 Joe Aillet Stadium has been home to Louisiana Tech football for the past 45-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. Construction on a new South End Zone facility began as ground was formally broken during the T-Day Spring Game in 2014. The removal of two sections of stands dropped the capacity to 27,717 for the 2014 season with capacity to rise to about 28,000 with the addition of 300 seats in a premium club section opening in time for the 2015 season. 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 138-60-2 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 76-34 at Joe Aillet Stadium, a winning percentage of over 69 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.

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.

At the south end of Joe Aillet Stadium stood a bronze Bulldog statue named the Spirit of ‘88. For the 2014 season, due to construction it has been temporarily relocated but will be available for the team to touch before it takes the field. 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

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 69 wins and just 31 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.

In only Louisiana Tech’s second season in the Division I-A ranks, the Bulldogs trailed Colorado State 30-14 late in the third quarter and their bowl hopes looked bleak. 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.

INDEPENDENCE STADIUM 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.
STADIUM FACTS Opened: 1925 Capacity: 50,459 Largest Crowds at a Louisiana Tech Game: Dec. 15, 1990 as 48,325 saw Tech and Maryland tie 34-34 (1990 Independence Bowl); Aug. 28, 2003, 43,279 saw Tech fall to No. 3 Miami 48-9 (regular season).

The league promotes the scholar-athlete ideal, honoring outstanding achievement with numerous conference-sponsored academic awards, including the Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Commissioner’s Academic Medal as well as sport-specific All-Academic teams. C-USA annually awards $4,000 postgraduate scholarships, along with the Sport Academic Awards, Scholar-Athletes of the Year and the Institutional Academic Excellence Award. Additionally, Conference USA presents a Spirit of Service Award three times each year, recognizing student-athletes who excel on the field, in the classroom and give back to the community through significant service efforts and participation.

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 Conference USA members for all sports in 2005. In 2013, charter member Charlotte returned to C-USA and was joined by new members FIU, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana Tech, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Old Dominion and UTSA. The membership is at 14 institutions with WKU joining the league on July 1, 2014.

C-USA BOWL 2014 SYNOPSIS Conference USA has five primary agreements and one secondary agreement for the 2014 season. The Bahamas, Boca Raton, Gildan New Mexico, Heart of Dallas and Sheraton Hawai’i Bowls are primary agreements. The Duck Commander Independence Bowl is a secondary agreement. Conference USA’s champion will select which bowl it would like to attend and the remainder of the selections will follow after that, with no particular set order. Conference USA will begin its partnership with the Gildan New Mexico Bowl to begin its bowl season on Saturday, December 20, at 12:20 p.m. MT in Albuquerque, N.M. The league’s representative will be matched up against an opponent from the Mountain West Conference. C-USA has previously participated in the New Mexico Bowl one time, as UTEP faced BYU in 2010. The league will be a part of two brand-new bowls in warm, sunny climates when it faces a Mid-American Conference opponent in both the Boca Raton and Bahamas Bowls. The Boca Raton Bowl will be held at FAU Stadium on the Florida Atlantic campus, with the inaugural game set for Tuesday, December 23 at 6 p.m. EST. The Bahamas Bowl is the only postseason game held outside of the United States and it will take place on December 24 at Noon EST at Thomas A. Robinson National Stadium. Both games will be televised by ESPN. Later on Wednesday, December 24, C-USA will compete in the Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl in Honolulu for the 10th time in the bowl’s 13year history. The league’s representative will face a Mountain West Conference opponent in the game, which will kick off at 3 p.m. HT (8 p.m. ET) and be televised by ESPN. C-USA will participate in the Heart of Dallas Bowl at historic Cotton Bowl Stadium on Friday, December 26. The league’s representative will face an opponent from the Big Ten Conference in a game that will air on ESPN, beginning at 11 a.m. CST. North Texas is the defending Heart of Dallas Bowl champion. The league also has a secondary agreement to play in the Duck Commander Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La., should the ACC or SEC not be able to provide a team for the game. The 38th annual game will take place December 27 on ESPN 2. As a member of the College Football Playoff, Conference USA will be a part of one of the College Football Playoff bowls if it has the highest rated champion from among the American, C-USA, Mid-American, Mountain West and Sun Belt Conferences.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF The Playoff Beginning with the 2014-15 season, college football will enter a new era when a postseason playoff will begin. The format is simple: top four teams, two semifinals played in bowl games, and a national championship game played in a different city each year. Each semifinal will be played during the New Year’s holiday with the national championship game in prime time on a Monday night at least a week later. It will be the best of all worlds, and the biggest innovation to the sport in decades. The Selection Committee A selection committee will choose the four teams for the playoff based on their performance during the regular season, including, strength of schedule, head-to-head results, championships won, and other factors. The teams will be seeded so that #1 will play #4 in one semifinal and #2 will meet #3 in the other, with the winners advancing to the national championship game. The Rotation The semifinals will rotate among six different bowls, extending the experience to more fans. In the years when the bowls are not hosting semifinals, the bowls will feature eight other teams in four compelling matchups.
C-USA and the College Football Playoff As a member of the College Football Playoff, Conference USA will be a part of one of the College Football Playoff bowls if it has the highest rated champion from among the American, C-USA, Mid-American, Mountain West and Sun Belt Conferences.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Louisiana Tech avoided turnovers all last season even while running their offense at a dizzyingly fast pace. The Bulldogs got a reminder Saturday of what can happen when they don’t protect the football. Louisiana Tech lost four fumbles — half as many as it lost all of last season — in the season-opening 40-14 loss at North Carolina State. The first came at the goal line as the Bulldogs had put together their first good drive of the game, while another set up a touchdown for the Wolfpack that helped keep N.C. State in firm control all day. “I felt like we were talented enough to compete in this game,” first-year coach Skip Holtz said. “But we made way too many mistakes.” Louisiana Tech averaged more than 51 points and 578 yards last year under Sonny Dykes, now at California. And while running an average of nearly 88 plays per game, the Bulldogs committed just 13 turnovers — eight fumbles, five interceptions — in 13 games. By comparison, Saturday’s four lost fumbles came on just 60 plays. Top rusher Kenneth Dixon lost two, including the one at the goal line, while backup Tevin King lost one. “We take total ownership of that,” Dixon said. “We weren’t coached to hold the ball like that.” For N.C. State, freshman Matt Dayes ran for 84 yards and three touchdowns in the Wolfpack’s first game under coach Dave Doeren. Still, an early left foot injury to starting quarterback Brandon Mitchell put a damper on the afternoon. Mitchell, who beat out Pete Thomas for the job during training camp, broke a bone in his foot after directing N.C. State (1-0) to touchdowns on its first two possessions. Mitchell left midway through the opening quarter, then returned to the sideline late in the half on crutches and wearing a protective boot. Doeren said Mitchell could miss 4-6 weeks and will have surgery Sunday. Thomas threw for 212 yards on 15-for-27 passing after Mitchell’s injury, while Dayes turned in a performance that showed why Doeren has been high on the rookie from Weston, Florida, during the preseason. Dayes — seeing a bigger role with the one-game suspension to leading rusher Shadrach Thornton — capped his day with an 18-yard TD run midway through the fourth quarter that made it 37-14. Doeren, who spent two seasons at Northern Illinois before replacing fired coach Tom O’Brien, has pushed his team to do everything at a faster tempo, with the no-huddle offense stirring the most fan excitement. That buzz grew with the fast start under Mitchell, an Arkansas graduate transfer revealed as the starter shortly before kickoff. The Wolfpack marched 65 yards on the opening drive, ending with Creecy bulling his way through Xavier Woods for a 3-yard TD run. On the next drive, Mitchell found Rashard Smith for a 56-yard catch-and-run that set up Dayes’ 2-yard score that made it 14-0 less than 6 minutes in. But Mitchell was stopped on a third-and-1 keeper to end the third series in his final play. He completed all three of his passes for 93 yards and ran five times for 19 yards. Holtz’s Bulldogs moved the football with plenty of no-huddle looks, but they committed those momentum-crushing mistakes, too. The biggest came when Dixon — who ran for 1,194 yards and an NCAA-freshman record 27 touchdowns last year — fumbled as he tried to cross the goal line late in the first with the Wolfpack already up two scores. Two possessions later, King lost his fumble as the Bulldogs pushed into the red zone, while defensive end IK Enemkpali fumbled away an interception near the goal line to set up Dayes’ second score. First-time starting quarterback Scotty Young, a transfer from Texas Tech, threw for 178 yards on 15-for-27 passing for the Bulldogs. Score by Quarters 1 Louisiana Tech 0 NC State 14

RUSTON, La. - Kenneth Dixon earned freshman All-American honors last year after shouldering the majority of the LouisianaTech rushing load following a seasonending injury to Tevin King. On Saturday night at Joe Aillet Stadium, the roles were reversed. With Dixon serving as a spectator after being held out for precautionary reasons after taking a hit early in the second quarter, King rushed for 182 yards to lead Louisiana Tech to a 27-14 win over Lamar before 16,372 fans. “As I said to the team in the locker room after the game, there is no such thing as a bad win,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “There are such things as ugly wins, but never a bad win. It was nice to get a W in the win column. It makes everything a little bit better. You grade film a little bit better. It puts everyone in a better mood. Despite King’s impressive performance, the Bulldogs (1-1) weren’t able to put the pesky FCS Cardinals away until Andrew Guillot’s 19-yard run with 1:51 to play in the fourth quarter. “Offensively, I thought the second half - the running game really showed up. Tevin King stepped in and did an excellent job. I was really proud of what he did, stepping in with Kenneth (Dixon) going down with an injury. I thought the offensive line and the running game certainly pulled us out of a whole in the second half.” While King was running in, through and around the Lamar defense, red-shirt junior quarterback ScottyYoung had a work-man like performance.Young completed 22-of-32 passes for 166 yards and his first two collegiate scores - a 3-yard fade route to Jacarri Jackson in the first quarter and a 34-yard seam route to Guillot in the second. “It was efficient when you look at our numbers and talk about completion percentages and things like that, but when you look at our productivity, there are not enough big plays in the passing game,” Holtz said. “We are completing two passes and looking at third and three. It cannot be that way. We can run it twice and look at third and three.Tonight, it was looking at first and 10 when we ran it twice, so it is not near as efficient as it needs to be and we have to be able to make big plays down the field when we are put into some one-on-one situations.” However, maybe the most impressive - and clutch performance - came off the right foot of sophomore placekicker Kyle Fischer, who split the uprights with 44- and 49-yard field goals with the game on the line. Fischer’s first attempt came with 3:03 to play in the third quarter as the 44-yard field goal gaveTech a 17-7 advantage. It capped a 5-play, 72-yard drive that was highlighted by King’s 64-yard burst that took the Bulldogs from the shadows of their goal posts into Lamar territory. His second kick was even more challenging. His 49-yarder with 9:04 to play in the game capped a 44-yard, seven-play drive that gave the Bulldogs a 20-14 advantage. It was the longest field goal by a Bulldog kicker since Brad Oestriecher’s 50-yarder against Mississippi State in 2008. Lamar had one final chance to pull yet another upset by an FCS team over and FBS team as the Cardinals drove down to the LA Tech 31-yard line with just over six minutes to play. However, linebacker Daniel Cobb sacked Lamar quarterback Caleb Berry and forced a fumble that the Tech defense recovered with 6:00 to play. Tech then marched 65 yards on nine plays - all rushing - and sealed the win with Guillot’s 19-yard scamper around the right side, as Marlon Seets threw the key block that allowed his teammate to score. “I want to thank all the people that came out tonight to support the team,” Holtz said. “I thought the atmosphere was really great.The student section was awesome. I have never been in front of a student section, but they made some noise tonight. They were loud. They were into it. They were rowdy. The passionate fans that were here early for the walk; I think that really creates a great atmosphere for not only our players and the new guys who have never been through that. I think it creates a great atmosphere for recruiting; for people to see the passion in our fan base.” For the game, Tech recorded 439 yards of total offense, including 273 on the ground. Lamar totaled 362 yards with 272 coming through the air. Dixon, who rushed for over 1,200 yards and an NCAA Division I record 27 touchdowns last year, went down awkwardly early in the second quarter and did not return. “I think it is a knee,” Holt said. “I really do not know at this point other than he was out the rest of the game today. I don’t know yet what is going to happen on Thursday night with the quick turn-around and how that is going to work, but we will have a much better idea and maybe report a little bit more tomorrow when the doctors have a chance to look at it.” Defensively, Kentrell Brice led Tech with nine tackles while Cobb added 3.5 tackles for loss and Le’Vander Liggins registered three pass break ups and his first interception of the season.

RUSTON, La. - Louisiana Tech failed to capitalize on two early scoring opportunities and it proved costly as Tulane handed the Bulldogs a 24-15 loss before 22,035 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium Thursday night. Despite the Bulldogs defense forcing four turnovers and registering 11 tackles for loss, including five sacks, in the game, it wasn’t enough as the LA Tech offense never found a rhythm. Tech (1-2, 0-1) recorded only 295 yards of offense on the night as Scotty Young and Ryan Higgins combined to complete only 16-of-44 passes in the game. “I am really proud of what we did defensively tonight,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “I was really proud of the way the defense competed. We were very aggressive with our defense. I thought guys competed for 60 minutes, I was really proud of what they were able to do with some of the struggles and frustrations we were having offensively. We got much more aggressive defensively and put our corners on an island. I thought they did a real good job, outside of a couple plays, tonight. Defensively I thought we did a lot of good things. “Offensively it was hard to watch. Offensively, I apologize to the people that had to sit there and watch, because it was hard to watch. When you are about 20 percent on third down, and I do not know what we were throwing the ball, but it certainly was not good. (Tulane) boiled this down to being a man on man game. They gave us a five man front and made every lineman single block in the second half. “They went man to man in the passing game and said we are going to ask your quarterback to stand in the pocket and throw it. You are going to have to protect him and throw it and catch it and we were not able to do that tonight. They did the exact same thing on every play in the second half. It was not a mystery; it was not a guess; it was man on man. I give Tulane credit for what they did defensively with their front, but offensively we are not a very good football team.” Tech held a 9-7 halftime lead on the strength of three Kyle Fisher field goals (25, 27, 37). The Bulldogs, however, could have been up much bigger after two early opportunities. On Tech’s opening possession, Tevin King raced around the right side for a 47-yard gain down to the Tulane three-yard line. However, after a false start penalty pushed the ball back, the Bulldogs had to settle for a 25-yard field goal and a 3-0 lead. After the Bulldog defense forced a Green Wave punt on the next series, Young and Co. marched 37-yards on seven plays highlighted by a 30-yard completion to Jon Greenwalt. On second down and eight from the Tulane 15-yard line, Young found a wide open Tevin King on a wheel route in the end zone. However, King dropped the pass and Fisher came on for a 27-yard field goal. Tulane (2-1, 1-0) scored its only points of the first half on a 24-yard touchdown from Nick Montana to Ryan Grant with 3:18 to play in the opening quarter. Tech’s defense forced three first half turnovers, including a Mike Schrang interception with 12:00 minutes to play that led to a Fischer 37-yard field goal, giving Tech a 9-7 lead at the half. Young played the entire first half, completing only 9-of-28 passes for 108 yards. However, he suffered an apparent rib injury late in the half and didn’t return from the locker room after halftime, forcing red-shirt freshman Ryan Higgins into his first collegiate game. Higgins was met rudely by the Tulane defense as his first collegiate pass attempt was intercepted by Lorenzo Doss and returned 25 yards to the Tech 30-yard line. Cairo Santos, who won the Lou Groza Award last year, connected on a 51-yard field goal to put Tulane up 10-9 with 12 minutes to play in the third quarter. While the Bulldogs offense struggled to move the football - Tech recorded only 101 yards in the second half - the Tech defense kept the contest close, sacking Nick Montana five times. However, Montana did find Xavier Rush for a 38-yard TD with 4:43 to play in the third quarter to push the lead to 17-9. The Tech special teams unit appeared to have come up with a huge momentum play when Andrew Guillot fielded a punt and returned it 74 yards for a touchdown midway through the final quarter. However, Tech was flagged for an illegal block in the back as the TD was nullified and Tech took over at its own 16-yard line. Tulane grabbed a two-touchdown lead just moments later after Higgins was sacked and fumbled and the Green Wave defense recovered on the Bulldogs two-yard line. One play later, Orleans Darkwa scored to give Tulane a 24-9 advantage. Higgins and the Bulldogs offense finally found some success on its final possession, driving 75 yards on nine plays, capped by an 8-yard touchdown strike to freshman Trent Taylor with 3:44 to play. The Bulldogs two-point conversion failed and Tulane recovered the ensuing onside kick and ran out the clock. Score by Quarters Tulane Louisiana Tech

LAWRENCE, Kan. - Kansas kicker Matthew Wyman kicked a game-winning 52yard field goal as time expired to complete a come-from-behind victory and defeat Louisiana Tech, 13-10, Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium. Kansas (2-1, 0-0 Big 12) recovered a LATech (1-3, 0-1 C-USA) fumble on the Jayhawk goal line with less than 90 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and drove down the length of the field before Wyman connected on a 52-yard strike to break a 10-10 tie and complete the victory for the Jayhawks. LA Tech’s quarterback Ryan Higgins finished the game 35-55 for 289 yards, a touchdown and an interception, while running back Kenneth Dixon led all-rushers with 18 carries for 129 yards. Dixon surpassed the 100-yard rushing mark for the second time this season and the eighth time in his career. Higgins made sure to spread the ball around as eight different receivers caught passes in today’s game with D.J. Banks leading the way with a career-high 13 receptions for 82 yards on the day. Seven of the receivers had at least 10 yards receiving versus the Jayhawks. The Bulldog offense was slow to start in Higgins’ first career start as the first two drives ended in a pair of punts. On the third drive, Higgins’ pass to Jacarri Jackson bounced off Jackson’s hands and was intercepted by Kansas’ Ben Heeney. On the next drive, LATech got on the board with an eight-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Higgins to Hunter Lee as Lee made a leaping grab in the end zone. That capped off a 10-play, 57-yard drive spanning 2:53 and gave the Bulldogs a 7-0 lead. After each team missed a field goal, Kansas would connect on a kick as Matthew Wyman’s 39-yard field goal cut Tech’s lead to 7-3. The Bulldogs would miss one more field goal attempt before the end of the first half but Kyle Fischer would break a streak of four consecutive misses with a 39yard field goal early in the third quarter, extending Tech’s lead to 10-3. LA Tech was on the verge of scoring a touchdown on a scramble by Higgins but, after an initial call of being out of bounds at the Kansas 2-yard line but a video review showed he lost control of the ball as it rolled into the end zone, granting Kansas a touchback. The Jayhawks would turn that error into seven points as Heaps drove 80 yards in eight plays as he found Jimmay Mundine on a 22-yard pass for a touchdown to tie the game with 9:54 left in the fourth quarter. After trading punts, LATech received the ball on its own 15-yard line and drove down the length of the field on a 10-play drive to put the Bulldogs in scoring position at the Kansas 18-yard line. On the ensuing play, Dixon rushed 13 yards to the 5-yard line before a forced fumble by Michael Reynold gave Kansas the ball on its own goal line. With 1:33 left in the game, Kansas quarterback Jake Heap led the Jayhawks down the field to the LA Tech 35-yard line to set up the eventual game-winning 52yard field goal for Wyman.

September 28, 2013 Cotton Bowl, Dallas, Texas Heart of Dallas Classic
DALLAS - Army rushed for 414 yards and five touchdowns as the Black Knights defeated Louisiana Tech 35-16 before 31,278 fans at the Cotton Bowl in the inaugural Heart of Dallas Classic Saturday. “I want to compliment army and what they did tonight offensively and how they executed on offense tonight,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “Bottom line, we got our tails kicked defensively tonight. Offensively, we are making some strides. We challenged our offense to make plays down field. They scored more points than us. “It was a turnover free game until the fourth quarter. They were able to line up and drive the field, and we were not. I am proud of the way a couple of the guys on our team are competing. We are excited to get back into conference play next week, and I am glad I do not have to see that offense again.” The game, which started an hour late due to an hour-long lightning delay, saw Army (2-3) take their opening two possessions, marched down the field via the ground attack and grab an early 14-0 lead. The first touchdown came on Terry Baggett’s 9-yard run with 8:08 to play in the first quarter, capping a 13-play, 85-yard drive that ate up 5 minutes and 4 seconds off the clock. After the Bulldogs were forced to punt on their next possession, Army once again mounted its ground attack. With the Black Knights facing a first down and 10 on the Bulldogs 24-yard line, the second lightning delay of the game came - this one lasting 45 minutes. However, when the two teams returned, the Black Knights offense didn’t show signs of the delay. Five plays after resuming play, Baggett scored his second TD of the game from 14-yards out as Army led 14-0. Tech mounted its first real drive of the day early in the second quarter. After the Bulldogs defense forced an Army punt, Ryan Higgins turned to the air, connecting three times with Andrew Guillot, including a highlight reel catch on a 29-yard TD with 7:29 to play in the half. Guillot also snared passes for 33 yards and 18 yards on the drive. Kyle Fisher’s extra point was no good as Army led 14-6. The Black Knights took their next possession, overcame a second down and 21 from their own 10 yard line, and methodically marched 90 yards on 14 plays to up the advantage to 21-6. Aaron Kemper covered the final three yards of the drive for a TD with 59 seconds to play in the half. Higgins, who finished the day 20-of-36 for 320 yards and one TD, hit Jacarri Jackson for a 23-yard strike, found Hunter Lee for 11 yards and then connected with Eddie Johnson for 20 more to drive the Bulldogs inside the Army 20 yard line. Fisher hit a 31-yard field goal on the final play of the half to cut the deficit to 21-9. After Army opened the second half with a 10-play, 77-yard drive capped by Angel Santiago’s one-yard plunge, the Bulldogs mounted their second scoring drive of the day. The big play was a 39-yard hookup between Higgins and Guillot as Kenneth Dixon finished the drive off with a seven-yard run through the heart of the Army defense as Tech pulled within 28-16. The Bulldogs defense then came through with a stop, forcing an Army punt as Tech took over on its own 30-yard line. Higgins connected with DJ Banks for a 29-yard pickup down to the Army 43-yard line, but then the Black Knights defense came up with back-toback sacks by Colin Linkul, forcing the Bulldogs to give the ball back. Army then scored its final touchdown of the game by driving 61 yards on 12 plays as Kelvin White scored on a 1-yard run with 8:52 to play to up the advantage to 35-16. In addition to Higgins solid performance under center, Guillot finished the game with five catches for 123 yards and one score. Dixon rushed for 71 yards on 16 carries with one touchdown. Baggett led the Army ground attack with 143 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries while Trenton Turrentine added 81 yards, Santiago 77 yards and Larry Dixon 70 yards. Daniel Cobb led Tech defensively with nine tackles while Lloyd Grogan and Shakeil Lucas each added eight tackles. Grogan recorded the Bulldogs lone sack of the game.

EL PASO, Texas - UTEP’s offense threatened with a touchdown late in the fourth quarter, but the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (2-4, 1-1 C-USA) held strong and defeated the Miners, 38-35, in a conference matchup Saturday night at the Sun Bowl in El Paso. The Bulldogs broke a five-game homecoming winning streak for the Miners and recreated a scene from 2003 when LA Tech defeated UTEP (1-4, 0-2 C-USA), 3835, in the team’s homecoming game in El Paso once again. With 1:03 remaining in the fourth quarter, UTEP quarterback Jameill Showers threw a six-yard touchdown pass to Craig Wenrick to bring the Miners within three points, but LA Tech prevailed after recovering the ensuing onside kick to take over possession with seconds remaining in the game. With 25 carries, 206 yards rushing and one touchdown run, Kenneth Dixon recorded his second career 200-yard rushing game and his ninth career 100-yard rushing game Saturday versus UTEP. He is now tied for 12th in the nation among active career 100-yard rushing leaders with nine games over the century mark in his two-year career. LATech’s quarterback Ryan Higgins rushed 11 times for 31 yards and two rushing touchdowns - the first two rushing touchdowns of his career - and was 10-18 for 110 yards passing on the night. UTEP drove down 75 yards on its first possession in 3:43 to set up a one-yard touchdown run by Showers as the Miners took the early 7-0 lead. Tech would quickly respond, marching down the field in four plays and only 55 seconds as Andrew Guillot would reach across the goal line for a five-yard touchdown run. After forcing a punt out of the Miners, the Bulldogs would mount their longest sustained drive of the year, going 93 yards in 16 plays over 6:05 to set up a sevenyard scoring run by Ryan Higgins to put the Bulldogs up 14-7. Blake Martin, filling in for an injured Tevin King, scored on the longest scoring play of the year with a 62-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter to extend Tech’s lead to 21-7 with 10:13 in the second quarter. Later in the frame - with 3:57 remaining - Kyle Fischer would connect on a 24yard field goal to push Tech’s lead to 24-7. With under two minutes in the half, Showers would connect with Jordan Leslie for a 28-yard touchdown pass as the Miners cut the lead to 24-14. UTEP would have one last chance to score as the Miners forced a Higgins fumble as time expired but D.J. Banks made a touchdown-saving tackle to end the first half. Both teams would go three-and-out to start the second half but as UTEP punted away, D.J. Banks muffed the punt with UTEP recovering in the end zone to pull within a field goal, 24-21, at the 11:30 mark in the third quarter. Higgins would strike back with a two-yard run at the 11:30 mark in the third quarter to cap off a 74-yard, eight-play drive lasting 3:31 as the Bulldogs took the 31-21 lead. Showers would connect with Leslie again, this time for 65 yards, as UTEP would again pull within three, 31-28, this time with 6:27 left in the third quarter. On the next drive for the Bulldogs, Tech would get pinned back onto its own two-yard line with Higgins recovering on the sideline. Scotty Young would hand the ball off to Kenneth Dixon, who would run 72 yards and into UTEP territory. A couple plays later, Dixon would run it in from nine yards out for the score to make it a 38-28 game in Tech’s favor. UTEP drove down into the red zone on its next possession but the Bulldogs would force a 22-yard field goal that would end up being blocked in the Miners’ first failed red zone trip of the game. The Bulldogs defense held tight until the last few minutes of the fourth quarter when UTEP’s Showers led the offense down the field and pulled the Miners within three with a six-yard touchdown pass to Craig Wenrick with 1:03 remaining in the game. A last-ditch effort with an onside kick was recovered by Louisiana Tech and the Bulldogs’ offense was able to run out the clock to complete the road victory.

RUSTON, La. - For the first 26 minutes of Saturday’s homecoming contest, it appeared as though Louisiana Tech could be on its way to its second Conference USA win of the year. However, a 61-yard TD pass on a broken play from North Texas quarterback Derek Thompson to receiver Brelan Chancellor and a 56-yard interception return for a score by Zac Whitfield just 90 seconds later propelled the Mean Green to a 28-13 victory over the Bulldogs before 20,317 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium. “It is always disappointing to lose, especially homecoming with such a great crowd,” said Tech coach Skip Holtz. “The Walk of Pride was a great atmosphere and you feel bad for the alumni and the fans who made such a commitment to this school. It is unfortunate we were not able to go get a win at homecoming. It is always hard to lose and it hurts to lose, it sounds like a broken record.” The Bulldogs offense - which capitalized on an early turnover - struggled to move the football on the ground all day as the North Texas defense held LA Tech to only 37 yards rushing on 23 attempts in the game, including 12 carries for 25 yards by Kenneth Dixon. “I give North Texas a lot of credit,” Holtz said. “They loaded the box and said they were not going to let Kenneth (Dixon) hurt them. They played a physical football game, and they were able to load up and stop the run. We were not able to make enough big plays in the passing game to make them pay for it.” With the ground game in check, freshman Ryan Higgins was forced to go to the air and completed 36-of-54 passes for 343 yards but with two costly interceptions. Tech (2-5, 1-2 C-USA) took an early 10-0 lead behind a stellar defensive effort and an opportunistic offense. IK Enemkpali intercepted a screen pass on North Texas’ first offensive possession and five plays later, Ryan Higgins scored on a two-yard keeper as the Bulldogs led 7-0 with 7:50 to play in the opening quarter. “I was really proud the way the football team and especially the defense played in the first half,” Holtz said. “Outside of an interception returned for a touchdown, and a scramble that resulted in a big play, I thought our defense competed.” The Bulldogs then upped the advantage midway through the second quarter as Kyle Fischer connected on a 40-yard field goal with 6:13 to play, capping a 47-yard drive that was highlighted by a 31-yard completion to Andrew Guillot. However, that’s when the Tech defense which had controlled the NT offense all game, was victimized by a broken play. On a second-down and eight-yards to go, Thompson was flushed out of the pocket and then heaved a pass deep down the field that Chancellor made a play on and then outraced the Tech defenders to the end zone for the score. The extra point cut the Tech lead to 10-7 with 3:53 to play in the quarter. On the Bulldogs ensuing possession, Higgins hurried an out route intended for Richie Casey and Whitfield stepped in front of the pass, racing 56 yards untouched to the endzone as the Mean Green led 14-10 with 2:05 to play in the half. Tech mounted one last drive before the half, marching 67-yards on 11 plays. However, Fischer’s 25-yard field goal hit the right upright as the deficit remained 14-10 at the half. After forcing NT to punt on their opening possession of the second half, the Bulldogs offense was pinned on its two yard line. Unable to record a first down, Tech punted and the Mean Green took over on the Bulldogs 43-yard line. Thompson then connected with Darnell Smith for a 35-yard game on a third down and long and one play later Thompson scored from three-yards out as North Texas upped the lead to 21-10 with 7:05 to play in the third quarter. Following another Bulldog punt, Thompson led North Texas on another TD drive, this one covering 66 yards on 11 plays and capped by Brandin Byrd’s one-yard run. Zach Paul’s extra point gave the Mean Green a 28-10 lead with :40 to play in the quarter. Fischer’s second field goal of the game came from 35-yards out with 12:27 to play in the game, cutting the deficit to 28-13. The Bulldog defense got two stops, giving the Tech offense two more chances to get into the endzone. However, a 9-play, 65-yard drive was stopped inside the North Texas red zone when Whitfield intercepted his second pass of the day with 2:29 to play in the game. Thompson finished 16-of-24 for 221 yards and one score for NT while Chancellor caught five passes for 95 yards and one TD. Byrd led the Mean Green ground attack with 71 yards. Guillot caught a career-high 10 passes for 99 yards while Hunter Lee added five catches for 45 yards. Thomas McDonald led Tech with 11 tackles while Daniel Cobb and Xavier Woods each registered nine stops. Zachary Orr led North Texas with 17 tackles. Score by Quarters North Texas Louisiana Tech

MIAMI - Louisiana Tech’s Kenneth Dixon tallied 183 all-purpose yards and Kyle Fischer hit five field goals as Louisiana Tech beat FIU, 23-7, at Alfonso Field at FIU Stadium Saturday night in Miami. Dixon’s 183 yards was only 14 yards shy of the total offensive yards put up by FIU (1-6, 1-2 C-USA) as the Bulldogs (3-5, 2-2) held FIU to only 197 yards overall. Fischer’s five field goals in the game are the most by a single Louisiana Tech kicker in recent memory, contributing 15 of Tech’s 23 points. The other eight points came from a 39-yard touchdown catch by Dixon and a Ryan Higgins-to-Sterling Griffin two-point conversion. Dixon marked his 10th career game with over 100 rushing yards as he tallied 119 yards on the ground and 64 yards receiving, leading all players on both teams in both categories. FIU’s offense was stymied by a Tech defense that recorded seven tackles for a loss five of which were sacks - and Bryson Abraham’s two interceptions. The Tech defense also registered four pass break-ups while Beau Fitte had six tackles for LA Tech including notching his first career sack. Ryan Higgins was 20-for-31 for 192 yards and a touchdown pass for the Bulldogs but was also picked off three times. Jon Greenwalt added 46 yards receiving on four catches for Tech. The win marked Louisiana Tech’s first victory in the state of Florida since 1999. Kyle Fischer put the Bulldogs on the scoreboard first as he connected on a 26-yard field goal attempt, capping a drive of 11 plays going 56 yards. Near the end of the first quarter, Shakeil Lucas recovered an FIU fumble giving Tech the ball on the 16-yard line. Kenneth Dixon would run up the middle for 12 yards before two consecutive fumbles put the Bulldogs back on the 18-yard line. After an incomplete pass, Fischer would come on to hit a 35-yard field goal giving Tech a 6-0 lead. Fischer would be called on again late in the first half, hitting a 33-yard field goal with 3:46 left in the half. Higgins would throw an interception on the second play of the second half and the Panthers would convert that turnover into a score as Jake Medlock hit Jonnu Smith for a 38-yard touchdown pass as Smith broke a tackle and went to the end zone untouched from that point. Tech’s lead was cut to 9-7 with the one play touchdown drive for FIU. LATech would drive back into the red zone two possessions later and after running for a first down to set up first and goal, Ryan Higgins would leave the game with an injury. Paul Harris would replace Higgins but the drive would stall and Fischer would come on to kick a 30-yard field goal marking the first time a Bulldog kicker has hit four field goals in a game since Brad Oestricher did so against Idaho in 2008. In the fourth quarter, FIU would get flagged for kick catching interference on Trent Taylor letting the Bulldogs start their drive on the Tech 49-yard line. In the four-play, 51-yard drive, Dixon would account for all but eight of those yards including a 39-yard touchdown catch where he broke a tackle round the 30 yard line and went straight to the end zone. The Bulldogs then converted a two-point conversion as Higgins connected with Sterling Griffin on a diving catch in the end zone. OnTech’s next possession, Fischer would hit a 35-yard field goal for his fifth successful field goal of the game, upping the Bulldog lead to 23-7.

November 9, 2013 Joe Aillet Stadium, Ruston, La. Rivalry in Dixie

RUSTON, La. - Kenneth Dixon rushed for 207 yards and one score and Scotty Young tossed two more touchdowns to lead Louisiana Tech to a 36-13 win over Southern Mississippi before 18,571 fans Saturday night at Joe Aillet Stadium. The Bulldogs (4-5, 3-2 C-USA) also relied heavily on its defense which recorded four interceptions and held Southern Miss (0-9, 0-5 C-USA) out of the endzone until the final 60 seconds of play. “I thought our defense played outstanding tonight,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “I thought they did a great job. Adairius Barnes came up with a couple interceptions; having the four turnovers was really big. I thought the defense came up with some big stops and did some really good things tonight. I feel like we are making some progress, especially with the number of guys that were out. “Bryson Abraham stood up and did a great job. Kendrick James, Kevin Kisseberth, Andre Wiggins, and Andre Taylor; a lot of guys got some work with (Vontarrius) Dora being out of the game, and I thought they really stepped up. They did some good things for us stepping in to a tough situation.” With starting quarterback Ryan Higgins out due to an injury, Young - who started the first three games of the year for the Bulldogs - stepped in and ran the show for the Tech offense, completing 22-of-37 passes for 158 yards and a two first half scores. “It would have been really easy for Scotty to hang his head a couple weeks ago when the change was made to go with Ryan, but he has hung in there, competed, sat in meetings, watched film and his perseverance and strong will has been something to commend. I thought he went out there and did a great job managing the football game tonight. He did not turn the ball over. He was seeing the field really well, making some nice throws.” Young threaded a 13-yard strike between three USM defenders to freshman wide receiver Trent Taylor with 7:11 to play in the first quarter to give Tech a 9-0 lead. The scoring play capped an 11-play, 66-yard drive that started following a safety; DeAngelo Brooks tackled USM running back George Payne in the endzone for the first two points of the game. Following the free kick, Dixon reeled off 37 yards on the drive, including a 21-yard burst that took the Tech offense deep into Southern Miss territory. Dixon, Tech’s sophomore tailback, eclipsed the 2,000 career yard mark on the night. USM’s Corey Acosta kicked a 22-yard field goal early in the second quarter to close the gap to 9-3. The score remained 9-3 and it appeared as if the Golden Eagles were on the verge of scoring when Acosta misfired on 31-yard attempt with 6:15 to play in the half. Tech finally struck again. Taking over on its own 33-yard line following a USM punt with 3:36 to play in the second quarter, the Bulldogs mounted a 12-play, 67-yard drive that resulted in an acrobatic three-yard TD reception by Sterling Griffin with 27 seconds to play in the half, upping the advantage to 16-3. USM add a 50-yard field goal on the final play of the half as Tech led 16-6 at the break. The second half was all Bulldogs. Kyle Fischer started the scoring with a 38-yard field goal and a 43-yard field goal on two of the Bulldogs first three possessions following halftime. Fischer has now made eight straight on the season and 17-of-22 overall. “Kyle Fisher continues to make field goals which is a positive,” Holtz said. “We have to get better with our kickoffs and our punting because we are not where we need to be to play at the level we want to play. I saw a lot of good things tonight; it is always great to win.” With the Bulldog defense holding Southern Miss in check, the Bulldog offense finally came up with the scoring drive to put the game away early in the fourth quarter. Tech started on its own 20 yard line and marched 80 yards in 11 plays as Hunter Lee scored on an eight-yard TD run with 9:26 to play. The scoring play came after instant replay overturned a fumble recovery by Southern Miss that would have given the Golden Eagles the ball on their own eight-yard line. The big play on the drive was a highlight reel 26-yard catch by Jaydrick DeClouette on a third down play that kept the drive alive. Tech added one final score on a Dixon one-yard run. The possession started following a Thomas McDonald interception on the Tech 47-yard line. Dixon started the 53-yard drive with a 22-yard gallop and then finished it off with the one-yard plunge out of the wildcat formation. “On the offensive side of the ball, Kenneth Dixon is a horse,” Holtz said. “I have said it before. He runs extremely hard and extremely physical. He is a fun young man to coach and to watch play football. I was really proud of what he did tonight. I really thought that not only was Kenneth one of the big stories on offense, but I thought Scotty Young played an excellent football game.” Southern Miss finally got into the end zone late as Nick Mullens found Kyle Sloter for an eight-yard touchdown with 56 seconds to play in the game. For the game, Tech outgained USM 469 yards to 357 and was a perfect 5-of-5 in the red zone. Score by Quarters Southern Miss Louisiana Tech

HOUSTON - Louisiana Tech struggled to stop a Rice running game that accumulated 415 yards and six touchdowns as the Bulldogs fell to the Owls, 52-14, Saturday night at Rice Stadium in Houston. Ross posted 215 rushing yards and five touchdowns in the dominating performance that Louisiana Tech (4-6, 3-3 Conference USA) struggled to stop. Sterling Griffin recorded 80 yards receiving on two catches - including a careerlong 74-yard touchdown reception from Ryan Higgins in the third quarter - to lead LA Tech’s offense. Higgins was 9-for-15 for 138 yards with a touchdown. Scotty Young, who played the majority of the first half, was 6-for-15 for 43 yards and an interception. Thomas McDonald led the Bulldog defense with 10 total tackles and two pass break-ups. Tevin King led the ground game with 43 yards rushing on 13 attempts. Kenneth Dixon ran for 12 yards on two carries in the first quarter before leaving the game with a knee injury. Rice drove down on its first drive as Taylor McHargue connected with Dennis Parks on a 41-yard touchdown pass to give the Owls a 7-0 lead. LA Tech was in position to even the score after a 26-yard run by Paul Harris put the Bulldogs at the five-yard line, but the quarterback fumbled on the ensuing play giving the ball back to Rice. The Owls capitalized on the turnover, upping the lead to 14-0 on a Charles Ross 2-yard run for a touchdown. That capped off a wild series where, earlier in the drive on a single play, McHargue fumbled with Daniel Cobb recovering before he fumbled on the return and Rice regained possession. Early in the second quarter the Owls had a chance to score another touchdown but Thomas McDonald made a crushing hit at the one-yard line to break up a pass and save the touchdown. However, Chris Boswell would connect on a 30-yard field goal to give Rice the 17-0 lead. Ross was unstoppable again with 1:54 remaining in the half as McHargue pitched him the ball and he ran it into the end zone for a five-yard score to extend the Owl lead to 24-0. He would add another touchdown at the 7:45 mark in the third quarter on a two-yard run as Rice upped its lead to 31-0. Late in the third quarter Ryan Higgins would connect to Sterling Griffin on a 74yard touchdown pass to put the Bulldogs on the board and cutting Rice’s lead to 31-7. Rice would answer with a 17-play, 93-yard drive lasting 6:32 that would be capped off by a Ross 1-yard touchdown run giving the Owls the 38-7 advantage with 14:55 remaining in the game. Ross would notch his fifth touchdown of the night with a 19-yard run just three minutes later upping the Owl lead to 45-7. LukeTurner would add the final Rice score with 3:59 remaining on a 1-yard run. Marlon Seets would score the final touchdown for the Bulldogs with a 9-yard run with under two minutes to go.

Tulsa 24, Louisiana Tech 14

November 23, 2013 Joe Aillet Stadium, Ruston, La.
RUSTON, La. - Trey Watts put Tulsa on his shoulders and literally carried the Golden Hurricane to a 24-14 win over Louisiana Tech before 16,037 frozen fans at Joe Aillet Stadium Saturday night. Watts toted the pigskin 40 times while running for 189 yards and all three Tulsa touchdowns as the Golden Hurricane (3-8, 2-5 C-USA) won for only the third time in the 10-game series history. In a game that was played as temperatures dipped into the 30s, the Louisiana Tech defense forced four turnovers in the game - including three interceptions - but the Bulldog offense struggled to move the ball consistently. “It is frustrating to come out here on senior day with the respect that I have and this team has for this senior class and not get a win,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “We had been talking about the opportunity to play for something in November, and I think this football competed hard. We just made too many mistakes, especially in the second half. “We talked about the turnover bug, really the Achilles heel for this football team at this point. We had four turnovers in the second half that made it very difficult to overcome. Our defense was able to make some nice stops to get off the field. The bottom line offensively we were not able to get enough productivity together to get the ball in the end zone and score some points. We just have to get better as an offensive football team.” Playing without All-American running back Kenneth Dixon who was sidelined with an injury, sophomore tailback Tevin King rushed for 111 yards on 21 carries but took a back seat to the performance of Watts. In a first quarter that saw Tech fail to record a first down, Watts gave Tulsa a 7-0 lead on a 6-yard touchdown run that capped a five-play, 53-yard drive which was aided by a 15yard targeting penalty on Bulldog safety Thomas McDonald, who was ejected on the play. After recording only 22 yards of offense in the first quarter, the Bulldog offense finally found its rhythm late in the second stanza. Behind the running attack of King and Blake Martin, the Bulldogs marched 81 yards on nine plays and tied the game on a 10-yard run by Martin with 3:06 to play in the first half. The drive was highlighted by a 35-yard run by King, setting up the Bulldogs inside the Golden Hurricane red zone. Tulsa responded by driving down to the Tech 4-yard line right before the half. Carl Salazar hit a 26-yard field goal 39 seconds before the half as TU took a 10-7 lead into the halftime locker room. The Bulldogs second half was riddled with turnovers as Bulldog quarterback Ryan Higgins threw four interceptions over the final two quarters of play. Higgins, who completed 22-of-43 passes for 195 yards and one touchdown, threw the first interception on Tech’s first possession of the second half as Shawn Jackson returned it to the Bulldog 20 yard line. Two plays later, Watts hit paydirt for a second time on an 11-yard scamper as Tulsa upped its lead to 17-7. “He is a good running back,” said Tech linebacker Tony Johnson. “He has a good offensive line. They came and executed and did what they had to do. He is a patient runner and very smart.” The Bulldogs responded as Johnson recorded his first career interception and returned it 16 yards to the Tulsa 26-yard line. Tech took eight plays to score as Higgins found Jon Greenwalt in the back of the endzone for a 4-yard scoring strike to cut the deficit to 17-14. Tulsa wasted little time in countering Tech’s score as the Golden Hurricane marched 62-yards on 11 plays and retook a 10-point advantage on Watt’s 5-yard touchdown run with 10 minutes to play in the game. All 11 plays on the drive were runs, including eight by Watts. Tech drove into Tulsa territory two more times in the fourth quarter but Higgins was intercepted on both drives to end the threats. In addition to his interception, Johnson led Tech with a career-high 13 tackles while Xavier Woods added eight tackles. Beau Fitte and Bryson Abraham also added interceptions for the Bulldog defense while Kentrell Brice added six tackles and one fumble recovery. Score by Quarters Tulsa Louisiana Tech

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - Adairius Barnes’ 25-yard interception return for a touchdown was the lone highlight of the day for LouisianaTech as UTSA downed the Bulldogs 30-10 Saturday afternoon at the Alamo Dome. Playing without the services of sophomore running back Kenneth Dixon, who missed his second straight game due to injury, Tech (4-8, 3-5 C-USA) failed to crack the end zone offensively. “The inconsistencies on offense whether on 1st, 2nd or 3rd down were too much to overcome,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “The dropped passes; missed opportunities. I thought the defense competed. (Eric) Sousa did a nice job (for UTSA), but we had way too many deep balls where we were confused with our safeties.The bottom line is our (193) yards to their (475) yards ... we couldn’t get anything going on offense, sustain drives and keep the defense off the field.” The Roadrunners (7-5, 6-2) entered the game knowing that a win against LA Tech combined with a Rice loss to Tulane would put them in the Conference USA championship game. UTSA played like it from the opening kickoff. UTSA took the opening possession of the game and wasted little time in scoring, driving 70 yards on only three plays to take a 7-0 lead on an Souza 31-yard touchdown pass to Jarveon Williams.The drive began on a 36-yard completion from Souza to running back Evan Okotcha on the first play of the game. “We gave up too many deep balls that were uncontested,” Holtz said. “They hit a wheel route early on the first drive. They hit another wheel route later. They threw a deep corner route that was uncontested. I can deal with it if they are better than us ... but some of it was like they were throwing against air.” Following punts by each team on the next four offensive series, LA Tech took over on its own 40-yard line after a 24-yard punt return by freshman Trent Taylor. On the second play from scrimmage,Tech quarterback ScottyYoung found senior Richie Casey for a 34-yard pass play to the Roadrunner 25-yard line. A 13-yard personal foul penalty on the back end of the play gave the Bulldogs the football on the UTSA 12-yard line. However,Young’s third down pass to Casey at the UTSA goal line was stripped away, forcing a Kyle Fischer 24-yard field goal, cutting the lead to 7-3 with 4:28 to play in the opening quarter. UTSA then added to its lead on the ensuing possession. After a 28-yard pass completion to Cole Hubble on a third down play gave the Roadrunners the ball inside the LA Tech 30-yard line, Souza faked a handoff and scored on a 20-yard quarterback keeper. The extra point gave UTSA a 14-3 lead with 1:25 to play in the first quarter. Following a three-and-out by the Tech offense, UTSA mounted a 15-play, 72yard drive that ate 8 minutes and 12 seconds off the clock. Sean Ianno capped the drive with a 21-yard field goal and a 17-3 lead. After Tech recorded a couple of first downs and entered UTSA territory on its next drive, the Bulldogs were forced to punt and pinned UTSA on its own five-yard line. On a third down play with under two minutes remaining in the first half, Barnes snared a tipped pass and raced 25 yards to pay dirt as the Bulldogs cut the deficit to 17-10 at the half. The interception was the fourth of the season for Barnes and Tech’s first defensive touchdown on the year. The Bulldogs had an opportunity early in the third quarter to tie the game as Hunter Lee returned the opening second half kickoff 43 yards. After moving the ball down to the Roadrunner 34 yard line, Tech faced a fourth down and one when running backTevin King was tackled a half yard short of the first down, ending the drive. Okotcha then capped another UTSA touchdown drive with a one-yard run, giving the Roadrunners a 24-10 advantage.The run capped a six play, 53-yard drive that was highlighted by a 32-yard pass play from Souza to Okotcha. Late in the third quarter, Young - who completed 13-of-24 passes for only 80 yards - gave way to redshirt freshman Ryan Higgins. Higgins and the Bulldog offense weren’t able to move the football as UTSA added a couple of field goals to push the lead out to 30-10. Tech mounted one final drive late in the fourth quarter as Higgins hit Eddie Johnson for 29 yards and Lee for 19 yards, moving the ball inside the red zone. However, a sack and three incomplete passes ended the threat. “It will be a long off season with the way we finished it,” Holtz said. “We need every day of it. We need to recruit and get some players in here from a speed stand point to help on the perimeter. We need to develop some of our young guys. I feel bad we weren’t able to get it done for this senior class. They gave everything they had. “There is a lot of emotion in the locker room ... a lot of guys who played their last game. The finality their career is over and they have played their last game of college football. They love this school and they gave everything.”

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 15286-8 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.
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.
1901-1909
1910-1919
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.
Record: 20-13-4 (.541) Coaches: Edwin Barber (1901); Frank Singleton (1902); Unknown (1903); E.G. Pierce (1904); J.Y. Bragg (1905); Z.T. Young (1906); George Watkins (1907); A.L. Cornell (1908); Percy Prince (1909) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: N/A 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.

1920-1929
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
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).
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).
1930-1939
Record: 47-42-4 (.505) Coaches: George Bohler (1930-1933); L.P McLane (1934-1938); Ray Davis (1939) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (1930-1938)/None; Louisiana IntercollegiateConference (1939)/None The nickname Bulldogs and school colors of red and blue were decided upon sometime during the early years of the university. 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.
T H I S I S BU L L D OG C OU N TRY
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.

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.

Amazingly, Joe Aillet’s second decade as the Bulldogs’ head coach was more successful as his teams won an incredible 70 percent of their games during the 1950s while claiming six Gulf States Conference titles. 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.

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. 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. 1969: Grantland Rice Bowl Appearance Bradshaw was selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft following his 1969 senior year.

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.

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

1982, after being reclassified into Division I-AA. 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.
1989: Tech gains I-A status Finally on Jan. 20, 1989, the call came from the NCAA, and at the football banquet that evening, the official acceptance into Division I-A football was announced by Tech President Dan Reneau. 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

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.

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. 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.

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. 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. 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-

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.

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.

2011 San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl December 21, 2011 Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego, Calif.
174
SAN DIEGO - Fifteenth-ranked TCU scored two fourth quarter touchdowns to complete a 31-24 come-frombehind 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.

It’s no surprise that Louisiana Tech 2 0 0 8 B O W L M E D I A G U I D E 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 vs Northern Illinois December 28, 2008 • 7 p.m. Independence Stadium, Shreveport, La. on only its second possession, the 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.

2001 Humanitarian Bowl December 31, 2001 Bronco Stadium, Boise, Idaho
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.

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 36yard 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.

Tech used a high-powered passing attack and a stingy defense to defeat the favored University of Louisville, 2414, 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.

Montana State 19, Louisiana Tech 6 December 15, Charleston, S.C. 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

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.

DR. LES
GUICE
University President @LKGuice
@LATechFB
T H I S I S BU L L D OG C OU N TRY
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 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 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 chair of the 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.

McClelland Director of Athletics

Louisiana Tech boasts one of the rising young stars in the industry in Athletics Director Tommy McClelland, who enters his second year in Ruston after an impressive debut. McClelland joined the LA Tech Family when University President Les Guice introduced him as the new athletics director during a press conference at the Charles Wyly Athletic Center on July 16, 2013. McClelland, the youngest AD among all Football Bowl Subdivision athletic programs, came to Ruston after serving six years in the same position at McNeese State in Lake Charles. His first year in north Louisiana was a successful one. McClelland’s philosophy of developing student-athletes into champions on the playing fields, in the class room and in life is the cornerstone of his leadership style. While leading Louisiana Tech into the Conference USA era, McClelland impacted the athletics department through fundraising, facility improvements, coaching hires and overall student-athlete development. Shortly after his hiring, McClelland re-energized the LA Tech fanbase when he joined President Guice in an October press conference revealing the updated plans for the $20 million south end zone facility project – the centerpiece of the University’s Quest for Excellence capital campaign. McClelland completed the fundraising needed for the project, and the University broke ground in mid-April. An expected completion date is August of 2015. When completed, the three-story facility, 70,000-plus square foot building will benefit all of Louisiana Tech’s student-athletes; it will include a new state-of-the-art strength and conditioning complex utilized by all 16 of the University’s athletic programs. The building will also house football coaches’ offices, football locker room, team and position meeting rooms, club seating and a multi-functional dining space that can be utilized for athletic and campus events. Another marquee addition to the Louisiana Tech athletic facilities during McClelland’s first year was the $1.2 million Paul Millsap Vision presented by Community Trust Bank, a high definition video display board in the Thomas Assembly Center. The project also includes a customized sound system for the Thomas Assembly Center and a video board control room, which will be utilized for both football and basketball. These two major facility improvements and additional smaller scale projects were made possible through a record-setting year of fundraising. During the 2013-14 fiscal year, McClelland spearheaded the efforts in raising more than $10.9 million through both LTAC and Quest for Excellence; more than double any previous year in Tech Athletics history. Included in the record total were five, seven-figure gifts. Tech had plenty of success stories on the playing fields this year as well, led by Mike White and the Bulldog basketball team. The Dunkin’ Dawgs captured the regular season Conference USA title, tied the program single season wins record and advanced to the third round of the National Invitation Tournament after impressive wins over Iona and SEC foe Georgia. Following the season’s success, McClelland extended the contract of White, which enabled the University to hold onto one of the hottest commodities in the basketball coaching circles nationwide. In addition to the men’s basketball success, the Lady Techster tennis team recorded one of its best seasons in program history, posting a 15-7 record and earning the No. 5 seed in the C-USA championships. First-year head coach Chad Camper earned the Louisiana Sports Writers Association Coach of the Year Award, and the Lady Techsters earned their first ever regional ranking, finishing seventh in the southern region of the final Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings. Tech sophomore Victor Lange became the first Bulldog golfer ever to earn an NCAA Regional appearance and competed in the San Antonio Region. Tech track and field had 13 student-athletes qualify for the NCAA regionals; six advanced to the NCAA championships in Eugene, Oregon. McClelland also made some tough personnel decisions, making

coaching changes in both women’s basketball and baseball. McClelland made a national splash with the hiring of Tyler Summitt to lead the tradition-rich Lady Techster basketball program. Summitt, son of legendary Tennessee Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt, is the youngest head coach of any Division I women’s basketball program. He also hired one of the rising stars in college baseball in Greg Goff, a 21-year coaching veteran who recently led Campbell to its third straight 40-win season. The Camels joined LSU, Florida State, Oregon, Oregon State, Louisville, South Carolina and Rice as the only NCAA Division I baseball programs with at least 40 victories in each of the past three years. Goff led the program to this year’s NCAA Regionals. Prior to coming to Ruston, McClelland made a national name for himself after quickly elevating to the athletics director position at age 26. He 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 among 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 raised more than $3 million in private donations, and he was instrumental in increasing corporate sponsorships to nearly $1 million, while securing new clients and multi-year sponsorships. McClelland was also responsible for increasing football season ticket sales: 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. “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.” 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. 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

Mary Kay
Hungate
Deputy Athletics Director/ Senior Woman Administrator
Deputy Athletics Director and Senior Woman Administrator Mary Kay Hungate enters her 29th year as a member of the Louisiana Tech Athletics Department and has proven to be an integral part in the emergence of the University’s programs on the playing fields and in the classroom. Not only does Hungate serve as the sports administrator for softball, women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s track and field, and women’s bowling, but she is also in charge of NCAA compliance for all of the university’s 16 NCAA sanctioned programs. As one of the top two ranking administrators in the Tech Athletics Department, Hungate is part of a senior staff that was instrumental in helping the University earn an invitation to join Conference USA starting July 1, 2013. 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 also finished in the Top 10 three times in the Excellence in Management Cup, which recognizes the most
@LATechFB
efficient athletic departments in the nation. Hungate serves a vital role in the hiring of head coaches. She served as the point person in the hiring process of head women’s soccer coach Kevin Sherry. Sherry led the Lady Techster soccer team to four straight winning seasons (the first ones in program history), the program’s first ever WAC victories and its first appearance in the WAC Tournament in 2010. She has also been involved in the hiring of a number of other highly successful coaches, including current Lady Techster basketball coach Tyler Summitt, son of legendary Tennessee coach Pat Summitt. 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). Louisiana Tech’s student-athletes continue to reach academic progress superlatives. For the sixth straight year the University recorded alltime highs in the most recent Federal Graduation Rate Report released by the NCAA last October. Tech’s student-athletes recorded a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 80 percent and a Federal Graduation Rate (FGR) of 59 percent, which both were improvements over last year’s numbers. Louisiana Tech’s 80 percent graduation success rate ranks as the second highest in the state among Division I football-playing public institutions, trailing only LSU (81). LA Tech’s graduation success rate is four percentage points higher than last year’s (76) and easily outdistances the state average of 66 percent among the other nine Division I footballplaying public institutions in the state of Louisiana. Twelve out of 16 programs at LA Tech also saw an improvement in their single year Academic Progress Rates (APR) over the previous year’s scores, including men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s outdoor track and field, and women’s cross country. Thirteen of Tech’s athletic programs earned a single year rate above 930 for 2012-13 led by perfect 1000 scores by men’s basketball, men’s golf, women’s tennis and women’s bowling. The women’s bowling team also earned an NCAA Public Recognition Award last week after their multi-year APR (1000) ranked in the top 10 percent among all the women’s bowling programs in the nation. 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. 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. She currently serves on the Western Athletic Conference Council, the Conferences’ Legislative Review Committee, the Finance Committee and the Code Book Committee. In addition, along with Athletics Director Bruce Van De Velde, she represents the athletics department as an ex-officio member of the LA Tech Athletics Council.

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 student-athletes were making tremendous strides in the classroom. In five of McClelland’s six years as athletics director, McNeese State led the Southland Conference in the number of student-athletes named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. In addition, McClelland guided the resurgence in APR success in Lake Charles. The number of athletic programs boasting the required APR score of 925 went from four in his first year to all 16 in his final year. The community service hours performed by the MSU student-athletes also tripled to more than 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 to academics and athletics,” said Warde Manuel, athletics director at the University of Connecticut. “Tommy has also proven his ability to work effectively with coaches and administrators to help his programs be successful.” McClelland earned his bachelor’s degree from Northwestern State in 2004 and completed his master’s degree in sports administration in 2005. He walked on with the Demons football team and eventually earned a scholarship; he also competed in the javelin for the NSU track and field team. The native of Basile, Louisiana served as a graduate assistant at Northwestern State in athletics and also worked at the Southland Conference office as an administrative intern, assisting with championship events. McClelland is also a 2012 graduate of the Executive Program of the Sports Management Institute and attended instruction at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler Business School and the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business. McClelland is married to the former Jessica Stokes of Garrison, Texas. They have two sons, Lawson (4) and Grayson (3).

During his previous role in athletic advancement, McGuirt was responsible for all areas of athletic development, including donor relations and all aspects of the Louisiana Tech Athletic Club (LTAC).

A University of Tennessee and Kansas State alum, Warren came to Ruston after serving as the assistant director for development at K-State for more than two years. During Warren’s four-plus years at Kansas State which included two years as a graduate assistant, he oversaw the Ahearn Fund which experienced unprecedented growth from 5,454 members and $12.7 million in gifts to athletics when he arrived to 9,143 members and $25.8 million in gifts to athletics in fiscal year 2012.

In his role as assistant director of development, he oversaw an active portfolio of over 150 Ahearn Fund members and prospects, primarily in Kansas City.
