This fall all of the Tech football broadcasts can be heard on the LA Tech Sports Network as Dave Nitz, Teddy Allen, Malcolm Butler and Bennie Thornell comprise the broadcast team. Nitz enters his 42nd year of calling Bulldog football games as the legendary “Voice of the Bulldogs” has been calling games since 1974 along with Tech men’s basketball and baseball contests. Nitz, who was named the 2009 Louisiana Sportscaster of the Year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association, was enshrined into the LA Tech Athletics Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2011. He has been named the Louisiana College Play by Play man of the year three of the past four years by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association. Allen enters his sixth season behind the mic, serving as the color commentator for all 12 contests. The 1982 Tech journalism graduate is a well-known, highly-read award-winning Louisiana journalist having covered local sports for Shreveport, Monroe and New Orleans dailies from 1984 until 1990. He has written columns for the News-Star and the Times for the past 23 years. He was the recipient of the Max Russo Award this past June for his work with the Louisiana Sports Writers Association. Butler enters his 18th year at Louisiana Tech, serving as the associate athletics director for communications. While this marks his fourth season reporting from the sidelines at football games, Butler has served as the voice of Lady Techster basketball and softball for the past 17 years. He finished second place (behind Nitz) in the LSWA College Radio Play-by-Play category in 2013 and 2016 and in third place in 2015. Thornell begins his 27th year as a member of the LA Tech Sports Network as he will serve as the statistician for the majority of Bulldog football games this year. A 1969 graduate of the Louisiana Tech marketing department, Thornell began his association with the LA Tech Sports Network in 1990 as the statistician before moving down to the sideline in 1996 where he spent more than a decade. The LA Tech Sports Network team will host a 90-minute pregame show prior to each kickoff and a 30-minute post-game show. Tech Gameday, a 90-minute pre-pregame show, will also air prior to each home contest at Joe Aillet Stadium live from Tailgate Alley.

#5 › TRENT TAYLOR

Trent Taylor was named to the 2016 Biletnikoff Award Watch List

NATIONALLY RANKED, NO LONGER OVERLOOKED

When wide receiver Trent Taylor had to make a decision on where to play college football, the decision was easy. The Shreveport, Louisiana native only had one college scholarship offer from any level - Louisiana Tech. Consider the find by Tech’s coaches a hidden gem. “We couldn’t even get Division II schools to offer Trent Taylor because of his height,” Taylor’s high school coach Byron Dawson told The Shreveport Times in November 2014. “Trent Taylor had one offer, and that was Louisiana Tech.” Four years later, Taylor - a preseason Biletnikoff Award Watch List honoree - is ranked very high nationally in several categories and will leave Louisiana Tech ranked in the Top 10 in program history in six different categories.

40 STRAIGHT AND COUNTING...

Trent Taylor is as close to a sure thing as Skip Holtz and Bulldog fans have these days, and to prove that, the senior wideout has registered at least one reception in 40 straight games dating back to the first game of his sophomore season in 2014. With a reception in each game over a three-year span, Taylor is ranked ninth in the country in most consecutive games with a catch. ACTIVE STREAK OF CONSECUTIVE GAMES WITH A RECEPTION

A MACHINE AGAINST POWER 5 OPPONENTS

In Trent Taylor's last four games versus Power 5 opponents, the 5-foot-8-inch wideout has shown he has what it takes to shine on the big stage. In games against Kansas State, Mississippi State, Arkansas and Texas Tech, Taylor is averaging 9.25 receptions per game and 130.5 receiving yards with four touchdowns.

IN HIS LAST 14 GAMES...

...Trent Taylor has been really good. The senior wide receiver has 134 catches for 1,713 yards and 12 touchdowns in his last 14 games with the Bulldogs dating back to the 2015 season.

MOVING UP THE RANKINGS IN RECORD TIME

Just five games into his senior season, Trent Taylor has already cemented his spot as a #LATechLegend throughout his Bulldog career.

TEAM NOTES CARLOS HENDERSON AND TRENT TAYLOR NAMED SEMIFINALISTS FOR THE 2016 BILETNIKOFF AWARD

Louisiana Tech receivers Trent Taylor and Carlos Henderson have been selected as two of 10 semifinalists for the 2016 Biletnikoff Award, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club (TQC) Foundation, Inc., the Florida-based creator and sponsor of the Biletnikoff Award, announced Monday, Nov. 14. The Biletnikoff Award recognizes the college football season's outstanding receiver regardless of position. Any player who catches a forward pass is eligible. It is a season, not a career, award. Actual performance on the field, not potential performance, is the basis for inclusion on the watch list and for determination of semifinalists, finalists, and the winner. The award’s semifinalists are selected by vote of the distinguished members of the Biletnikoff Award National Selection Committee. In his senior season, Trent Taylor continues to impress on a national level as he leads the Bulldogs with 1,570 receiving yards, a mark that ranks third in the nation, while the Shreveport native has hauled in 10 touchdown catches this season. LA Tech’s other threat, Carlos Henderson, is ranked second in the nation with 17 receiving touchdowns on the season, while the redshirt junior is 8th in the country with 1,406 receiving yards. Both Taylor and Henderson are ranked third in the country with 196 combined receptions between the dynamic duo this season. With both Taylor and Henderson named semifinalists, it marks the first time since the 2012 season that two players from the same team have been named semifinalists for the Biletnikoff Award. That same year, LA Tech legend Quinton Patton was also named a semifinalist for the prestigious award. Former Bulldog Troy Edwards won the award in 1998 after registering 1,996 receiving yards and 27 touchdowns on 140 receptions (166.3 yards per game). The 2016 Biletnikoff Award winner will be presented live on December 8, 2016, on The Home Depot College Football Awards Show to be broadcast 7-9 p.m. (EST) on ESPN.

LA TECH HITS THE TRIFECTA WHEN IT COMES TO QBs OVER 3,000 YARDS PASSING

With Higgins having passed for 3,706 yards this season, LA Tech became the only school in the nation with three different quarterbacks throw for 3,000-plus yards in three straight seasons. Sokol had 3,436 passing yards at the end of the 2014 season, while Driskel closed out the 2015 season with 4,033 passing yards. Higgins' 4,208 passing yards this season ranks 2nd all-time at LA Tech for a single season.

Although the winning streak never reached eight games after Southern Miss defeated the Bulldogs on Nov. 25, LA Tech's seven-game winning streak ranks as the longest for the program since the 2011 team won seven straight that season. In the midst of the seven-game winning streak, the Bulldogs put together a perfect 5-0 record in the month of October for just the second time since moving to the Division I level in 1975. Although LA Tech has won five games in October just once before, the Bulldogs have gone undefeated in the month of October seven times since 1975.

ONE BULLDOG FIGHTING A DIFFERENT KIND OF BATTLE

LA Tech sophomore running back Jaqwis Dancy has been diagnosed with stage 3 Hodgkin's lymphoma, head football coach Skip Holtz announced on Oct. 17. "Jaqwis is in a different battle right now," head coach Skip Holtz said. "All of our thoughts and prayers are with Jaqwis. He is constantly on our minds and in our prayers, with what we are doing as a football team right now. There is a dose of reality that we have a teammate and a family member that is fighting through a tough battle right now. For everyone on this team, it has brought a real sense of togetherness and appreciation for the blessings that we have on a day-to-day basis. We find a way to complain, moan and groan over the issues that we have. Now we have something close to home, a teammate in a battle for his life." Dancy learned of the diagnosis the Friday following the WKU game and began treatment Monday, Oct. 17 at St. Jude's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. Holtz informed Dancy's teammates the following Sunday evening. The team wore special decals on their helmets supporting Dancy during its 56-28 win over UMass on Oct. 15. Hodgkin's lymphoma is a treatable form of cancer of the lymphatic system, which is part of the immune system, according to the American Cancer Society. A native of Junction City, Arkansas, Dancy saw action in all 13 games as a freshman in 2015, while totaling 17 kickoff returns for 296 yards. He was used primary on special teams throughout the 2015 season, but had been sidelined the first half of this season due to an ongoing ankle injury. Fans are encouraged two tweet support for Dancy using the hashtag #Dogs4Dancy.

RUSTON, La. - Ricky Dobbs passed for a career-high 219 yards and one touchdown and led Navy to a 37-23 comefrom-behind victory over Louisiana Tech before 23,122 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium on Saturday night. Despite suffering an ankle injury midway through the third quarter, Dobbs directed three touchdown scoring drives over the final two periods of the contest as the Midshipmen (2-1) offense controlled the game grinding out more than 22 minutes in the second half. This after Louisiana Tech appeared to have found its groove in the opening 30 minutes by recording more than 300 yards of total offense and leading 23-16 at the break. "It was a disappointing, frustrating night tonight," said Tech head coach Sonny Dykes. "I thought we played hard in the first half, but the second half was a disaster. We had a hard time making a first down. "Navy played well in the second half, and we had a hard time defending the pitch. We had turnovers on offense and Navy outtoughed us in the second half." Cameron led Tech to 328 yards and 18 first downs in the opening half as he finished the game with career-highs in completions (31), attempts (43), and yards (251). "It was a little easier and slowed down as the game went on," Cameron said. "It was the first time I truly felt comfortable from start to finish. The first half went well, but I didn't come out in the second half like I should." Tech's offense and defense both looked a step slow in the third and fourth quarters as turnovers spelled doom. After its impressive opening half, Tech's offense managed only three first downs and 77 yards after the break while Navy recorded 17 first downs and 270 yards. Creer led Tech's ground attack with 90 yards on 13 carries while Ikharo recorded career-highs with 10 receptions for 88 yards and one score. Solomon Randle registered 11 tackles while Adrien Cole added nine and Boyd eight.

Sept. 3 in FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS

Sept. 10 IN RUSTON, LOUISIANA

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Missed opportunities spelled doom for Louisiana Tech (0-1) in the season opener as Arkansas (1-0) edged the Bulldogs, 21-20, Saturday afternoon in front of 69,132 in attendance at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville. LA Tech was hanging on to a 20-14 lead with under seven minutes remaining in the game when Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen orchestrated a 13-play, 77-yard scoring drive that ended with a four-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Sprinkle to give Arkansas a one point lead. Louisiana Tech had an opportunity to stop the Razorbacks with 3:35 left in the fourth, but a fourth-down conversion with a minute and a half allowed Arkansas to run out the clock and clinch the victory over the Bulldogs. In his first career start, redshirt freshman J'mar Smith was 19-for-31 passing for 212 yards and a rushing touchdown. Smith became the first freshman quarterback to open the season for LA Tech since 2011. On the ground, LA Tech was led by Jarred Craft, who rushed for 68 yards on 12 attempts and a touchdown against the Razorbacks. Both Trent Taylor and Carlos Henderson combined for 14 catches and 149 receiving yards on the afternoon. Defensively, the Bulldogs held Arkansas to 297 total offensive yards and had four sacks in the game, which marks the first time since Oct. 11, 2014 that Arkansas has allowed four sacks in a game. Jordan Harris had a team-high 11 tackles in the game, including 1.5 tackles for loss. Xavier Woods tied a career-high with 10 total tackles (1.0 TFL), while also recording a sack and an interception against the Razorbacks.

RUSTON, La. - Louisiana Tech overcame a four-hour weather delay and Ryan Higgins passed for 409 yards and four touchdowns in his first start since 2013 to lead the Bulldogs to a 53-24 win over South Carolina State before just over 16,000 rain-soaked fans at Joe Aillet Stadium Saturday. In a contest that was scheduled to start at 6 p.m., the Louisiana-based Bulldogs and the South Carolina-based Bulldogs didn't kick until 9:55 p.m. after lightning kept both teams in their respective locker rooms for over four hours. Sloppy weather led to a sloppy first half by LA Tech, which committed four turnovers in the opening two quarters while committing five penalties, including one that took a touchdown off the board. Despite the turnovers, Tech led 19-10 at the break. The second half was much crisper as Tech scored on its first four possessions after intermission and didn't commit a second half turnover.

Louisiana Tech combined for 28 points in the second half, but the Texas Tech offense was too tough to stop on the night as the Red Raiders, who came into the game as the No. 3 scoring offense in the country, put up 666 yards of total offense. "I was proud of the way we fought and did not give up until the end," head coach Skip Holtz said. "There was not any quit in these guys. There were an awful lot of bright spots on the offensive side of the ball. I think we scored every time we had the ball in the second half. I was really proud of the way we competed in the second half. There are definitely some things we have to get straight. I don't want to take anything away from Texas Tech and what they were able to do tonight. I think [Patrick Mahomes] is a really talented player. I was really impressed with him tonight." Ryan Higgins was 20-for-32 passing on the night for 311 yards for three touchdowns, while Jarred Craft had a career night with 21 carries for 151 yards and a touchdown. Trent Taylor led the Bulldog receivers with seven catches for 166 yards and two touchdown receptions, while Carlos Henderson also impressed with nine catches for 130 yards and a touchdown catch.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee scored 31 points in the second-half alone while Louisiana Tech failed to complete a last-minute comeback as the Blue Raiders defeated the Bulldogs, 38-34, Saturday night at Floyd Stadium in Murfreesboro. In the conference opener, Louisiana Tech led 34-31 with under four minutes left in the game thanks to Kam McKnight's 1-yard touchdown rush, but Middle Tennessee used a 5-play, 75-yard scoring drive that ended with a 23-yard touchdown pass from Brent Stockstill to Ty Lee to put the Blue Raiders ahead, 38-34. On LA Tech's final drive, the Bulldogs drove all the way down to the Middle Tennessee six-yard line before stalling and turning the ball over on downs with 50 seconds remaining on the clock. Ryan Higgins became the third quarterback in Louisiana Tech history to throw for over 500 yards as the senior notched a new career-high with 504 passing yards and three touchdowns. He was 36-for-59 throwing the ball. Trent Taylor also enjoyed a career day for the Bulldog offense with 17 catches for 210 yards and two touchdowns. Jarred Craft ran the ball 20 times for 91 yards. Defensively, Jordan Harris led the Bulldogs with nine tackles (five solo), while Jaylon Ferguson had two sacks on the night for a loss of 12 yards.

2016 GAME RECAPS LA TECH 28, UTEP 7

LA TECH 55, WKU 52

OCT. 1 in RUSTON, LA.

OCT. 6 in RUSTON, LA.

RUSTON, La. - After surrendering 97 points over the past two weeks, the Louisiana Tech defense had something to prove Saturday night. They did. The Bulldogs bend-but-don't-break defense held UTEP to only one score and Louisiana Tech capitalized on a 70-yard TD run from Jarred Craft -- his second score of the night -- to defeat UTEP 28-7 before 22,101 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium. Craft rushed for 146 yards on only 13 carries, outperforming UTEP's Aaron Jones, who entered the game as the Conference USA rushing leader. Jones was held in check all night, totaling only 94 yards on 20 carries with a long of 9 yards. "You know the tailback -- Aaron Jones coming in here, that was rushing for 150 yards a game, averaging seven and a half yards carries, and that's against some pretty good football teams, as well," said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. "For our defense to hold him to 94 and four yards a carry, I'm just really proud of them." Tech took an early two touchdown advantage in the opening quarter. Craft took a swing pass from Ryan Higgins and scampered 17 yards to paydirt with 8:19 to play in the first quarter. The play capped a seven-play, 84-yard drive that took 2:42 off the clock.

RUSTON, La. - WKU is not a fan of Joe Aillet Stadium. For the second time in three seasons, WKU came to Ruston and left on the short end of the scoreboard, this time a 55-52 loss to Louisiana Tech in front of 17,978 fans on Thursday night. In between those two losses? WKU won 13 straight Conference USA games. “We knew we were playing the defending champion coming in here,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “We knew it was going to be a challenge: 13-game winning streak, longest conference win streak in the country. We knew they wouldn't go away. We talked to our players about it was going to be a 12-round heavyweight fight, and it's not going to be over till the very end. And you know, I'm just really proud of our players the way they were able to compete in there and they were able to get the win.” Louisiana Tech quarterback Ryan Higgins threw for 454 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Bulldogs to the C-USA shootout, snapping the Hilltoppers 13-game league winning streak. The last time WKU lost in Conference USA play prior to Thursday night was in 2014 in a 59-10 loss to LA Tech at The Joe. LA Tech (3-3, 2-1 C-USA) built a 21-point fourth quarter lead but saw WKU (3-3, 1-1 C-USA) storm back to cut the deficit to 55-52. The Hilltoppers even had a chance to win in the final three minutes after stopping LA Tech on a third-down-and-one play and forcing a Bulldog punt.

2016 GAME RECAPS LA TECH 56, UMASS 28

LA TECH 44, FIU 24

OCT. 15 in FOXBORO, MASS.

OCT. 22 in MIAMI, FLA.

FOXBORO, Mass. - Just when you thought Carlos Henderson had a career night last week against WKU, think again. Henderson outdid himself Saturday night when the receiver eclipsed 300 yards receiving on 12 receptions and caught five touchdowns to help lead LA Tech to a 56-28 victory over Massachusetts at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. With the win over UMass, LA Tech notched to its third straight victory to move to 4-3 on the season. After putting together a three-touchdown first half last week against the Hilltoppers, Henderson followed up with a nearly identical performance in the opening half and then some against UMass. Once it was all said and done, Henderson became the first player in school history with more than 300 yards receiving and five touchdowns in the same game. Henderson’s 326 receiving yards are the most by any Bulldog receiver since Troy Edwards in 1998 and the second-most in program history behind only Edwards. In addition to Henderson’s highlight-reel day, Ryan Higgins racked up 484 passing yards and was 26-of-33 passing with five touchdowns, all of which went to Henderson. Trent Taylor also surpassed the 100-yards receiving mark with nine catches for 126 yards, while Jarred Craft and Boston Scott combined for 190 rushing yards on the day.

MIAMI - Louisiana Tech (5-3, 3-1 C-USA) cruised to its fourth straight victory with a 44-24 win over FIU (3-5, 3-1 C-USA) Saturday night at Ocean Bank Field at FIU Stadium in Miami. FIU cut the lead to 10 points in the third quarter, but LA Tech outscored the Panthers 17-7 from that point on and put the icing on the cake with Carlos Henderson’s 92-yard kick returned for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Ryan Higgins kept the ball out of danger with a 22-for-30 passing performance for 269 yards and three total touchdowns, including one rushing score. Trent Taylor led the offensive attack with 11 catches for 156 yards and a touchdown, while he became just the fourth player in Louisiana Tech history to register 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons. Henderson added six catches for 68 yards, not including his 176 return yards on the night. Jarred Craft rushed the ball 12 times for 60 yards and also caught two passes for 16 yards on the night. With FIU driving midway through the third quarter, Xavier Woods recorded his 13th career interception and returned it 45 yards to the 2-yard line to set up Higgins’ 1-yard touchdown pass to Kam McKnight to give LA Tech a 34-17 lead with under four minutes to go in the third.

2016 GAME RECAPS LA TECH 61, RICE 16

LA TECH 45, NORTH TEXAS 24

OCT. 29 in RUSTON, LA.

NOV. 5 in DENTON, TEXAS

RUSTON, La. - On a night that saw senior Trent Taylor become Louisiana Tech's all-time receptions holder, his Bulldog teammates made sure it wasn't a one-man show. Taylor and Co. amassed more than 700 yards of offense, scored touchdowns on five of their first six possessions and defensively dominated an out-manned Rice team to a tune of 61-16 before 22,058 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium Saturday night. With the victory, Tech won its fifth straight game and improved to 6-3 on the season, 4-1 in Conference USA play, while becoming bowl eligible for the third straight year and the fifth time in the last six seasons. Quarterback Ryan Higgins was 18-for-25 passing for 292 yards and two touchdowns in the first half alone, while also rushing for 106 yards and a touchdown on the ground, which marks the first time a Louisiana Tech quarterback has ever rushed for over 100 yards in a single game. His 71-yard TD run late in the first gave Tech a 28-0 lead. Taylor hauled in seven catches for 131 yards on his way to capturing the school record for career receptions, which was previously held by Troy Edwards. He set the record in the first quarter with his fourth reception of the game -- his 281st of his career -- on a 71-yard pass play that saw Taylor break numerous tackles and drag Rice defenders the final 10 yards. As a team, Tech totaled 735 yards of total offense, the third most in a single game in program history.

DENTON, Texas - Louisiana Tech (7-3, 5-1 C-USA) used five touchdowns by Carlos Henderson to propel the Bulldogs to their sixth straight win in a 45-24 victory over North Texas (4-5, 2-3 C-USA) Saturday night at Apogee Stadium in Denton. LA Tech’s six-game winning streak is the longest for the program since the 2011 season, while the Bulldogs have now won three straight over North Texas to lead the all-time series, 9-6, over the Mean Green. Carlos Henderson posted eight catches for 133 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns, while he also had two rushing attempts for 28 yards and a touchdown (second of his career) on the ground. Henderson became the second player in C-USA history to have multiple games with 4+ touchdowns in a single season (Patrick Edwards of Houston, 2011) and also the second player in C-USA history to have multiple games of scoring five touchdowns in a season (Matt Forte of Tulane, 2007). He is also the only player in the country to do it this season. Quarterback Ryan Higgins finished the day 18-of-30 for 253 passing yards and four touchdowns, while the senior became the seventh quarterback in program history to throw for 3,000 yards in a single season (third straight season a Bulldog quarterback has done it – Jeff Driskel and Cody Sokol). Higgins now has 30 passing touchdowns on the season, which is tied for sixth most in program history.

2016 GAME RECAPS LA TECH 63, UTSA 35

SOUTHERN MISS 39, LA TECH 24

NOV. 12 in RUSTON, LA.

NOV. 25 in HATTIESBURG, MISS.

RUSTON, La. - On a day that saw Trent Taylor and Carlos Henderson combine for only seven catches for 36 yards, Louisiana Tech showed it's not just a two-man show. The Bulldogs (8-3, 6-1 C-USA) scored early and often, built a big halftime lead, overcame some mistakes in the fourth quarter and cruised to their seventh straight win, a 63-35 victory over UTSA before 23,012 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium Saturday. With the victory, Tech clinched a spot in the Conference USA championship game as the West Division champions. With a victory in its regular season finale Nov. 25 at Southern Miss, the Bulldogs would host the championship game at Independence Stadium in Shreveport. Ryan Higgins threw four more touchdowns -- bringing his season total to 34 -- including deep balls for scores to Alfred Smith for 68 yards and Marlon Watts for 50 yards and the LA Tech defense held UTSA to 310 yards. The Roadrunners (5-5, 4-3 C-USA) entered the contest having won four of their last five games. "I'm really proud of the team," said Bulldog head coach Skip Holtz. "It was not a very clean game. We made a million mistakes. We had a big punt return we gave up. We had a field goal block that went all the way back down. We made some mistakes. It certainly wasn't perfect and it wasn't pretty. But we were able to get it done. "Our defense helped them to about 300 yards of total offense, and really, 300 yards and 35 points tells you some of the poor field position that they were put in a couple of times tonight. But like I said, I'm just really proud of this team, really proud of the way that they went out there and the way the competed."

HATTIESBURG, Miss. - Louisiana Tech failed to overcome several missed opportunities as Southern Miss defeated the Bulldogs, 39-24, to snap LA Tech’s seven-game unbeaten streak Friday at M.M. Roberts Stadium in Hattiesburg. The Bulldogs will now await Saturday’s Conference USA results to find out their opponent and location of the Conference USA Championship game on Saturday, Dec. 3. “I thought Southern Miss played a good football game and did a really nice job,” head coach Skip Holtz said. “I thought we got shredded as a secondary, and same thing offensively. I thought they controlled the line of scrimmage and really made it hard to get anything going. It was a frustrating night. We turned the ball over and made mistakes you can’t make if you want to win. “I hate that we came here and played as poor as we did in this game tonight, but I think the players are really excited about having the opportunity to represent the West and play in the conference championship game. This is two out of the last three years this football team has had the opportunity to represent the West and play in the conference championship game.” Louisiana Tech managed just eight rushing yards on the night, while Southern Miss racked up 431 yards of total offense for the Golden Eagles’ sixth win of the season to become bowl eligible. LA Tech fell to 8-4 on the season with a 6-2 mark in Conference USA. Ryan Higgins was 22-of-39 passing for 246 yards and three interceptions, while Trent Taylor caught 10 passes for 119 receiving yards. Jarred Crafted ran the ball nine times for a total of 17 yards and two rushing touchdowns. In his return for the Golden Eagles, Nick Mullens was 29-of-33 passing for 342 yards and three touchdowns on the night, while receiver D.J. Thompson hauled in 12 catches for 135 yards and two touchdowns. Ito Smith ran the ball 24 times for 127 yards for Southern Miss.

Head Coach

@CoachSHoltz

Skip Holtz enters his fourth year as the head coach at Louisiana Tech after former Louisiana Tech University President Dr. Dan Reneau introduced former University of South Florida coach Skip Holtz as the 33rd head football coach of the Bulldogs during a press conference on Friday, Dec. 14, 2012 in the Jarrell Room of the Charles Wyly Athletic Center. Holtz led the 2015 team to several firsts in school history including the first time the Bulldogs have won back-to-back bowl games behind one of the most potent offenses in school history. Louisiana Tech recorded more than 400 offensive yards through its first 10 games of the season, the first time any Bulldog team has achieved such a feat. Tech went on to a 9-4 record after dismantling Arkansas State, 47-28, in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. In just his second season at the helm of the Bulldogs, Holtz enjoyed a five-win improvement from his inaugural campaign as the 15-year coaching veteran led LA Tech to a 9-5 record and a Conference USA West Division title in the team’s second year as a member of the league. Holtz and the Bulldogs capped off the 2014 season with a 35-18 win over Big Ten opponent Illinois in the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl at Cotton Bowl Stadium on Dec. 26, 2014. In 2014, Holtz engineered an offense that was ranked fourth most improved with an average of 37.4 points per game, while Louisiana Tech was the national leader in points off of turnovers on the defensive side of the ball. In his first season, Holtz 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 16 postseason games in his coaching career, including eight as a head coach and eight as an assistant coach. Of the eight games as head coach, six 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 time span 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 past 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 (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 went 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 and averaged nearly 36 points per game.

HOLTZ

COACHING EXPERIENCE

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. Prior to taking the head coaching job at UConn, Holtz worked on the offensive staff under his father at Notre Dame. He spent four years at Notre Dame and served as the Fighting Irish’s offensive coordinator during the 1992 and `93 seasons. During those years, Holtz was in charge of one of the country’s most potent offensive attacks - a period in which the Irish compiled a 21-2-1 record. The 1992 Notre Dame offense ranked third nationally in total offense, averaging better than 470 yards per game. The 1993 Irish offense, despite the loss of All-America running backs Jerome Bettis and Reggie Brooks, ended the season ranked No. 9 in scoring offense (36.6 points per game). During Holtz’s two seasons as offensive coordinator at Notre Dame, the Irish offense averaged nearly 37 points per game. Holtz has also served on the coaching staffs at Florida State and Colorado State. While serving on Bobby Bowden’s FSU staff in 1987 and `88, the Seminoles rolled to a 22-2 record, captured the Sugar and Fiesta Bowl titles and earned a No. 2 and No. 3 national rank, respectively. In all, he has been involved in eight New Year’s Day bowl games during his coaching career. Prior to his stint at South Carolina, the overall record of teams he had been associated with as an assistant coach was an

impressive 67-15-2. Born March 12, 1964, in Willimantic, Conn., Louis “Skip” Holtz spent the first two years of his life in Connecticut, while his father served as the top football assistant on the Huskies’ staff from 1964-65. He was a prep quarterback at Fayetteville (Ark.) High School, while his father was the head coach at the University of Arkansas. He attended Holy Cross Junior College in South Bend, Ind., for two years before

transferring to Notre Dame in 1984. Holtz earned his bachelor’s degree in business management in 1986 and was a football letterwinner for the Irish that same year, appearing in all 11 games as a special teams member and backup flanker. Skip and his wife, Jennifer, are the parents of three children: Louis Leo (Trey) Holtz III, Chad Fitzgerald Holtz and Hailey Elizabeth Holtz.

One of the main building blocks of success for a football program is stability in the coaching staff, and for 40 years, Louisiana Tech had not only stability but incredible talent. Joe Aillet remains the winningest football coach in Louisiana Tech history and was one of the most respected in the country during his 26-year coaching career with the Bulldogs. Aillet produced a record of 152-86-8 and won or shared 12 conference championships between 1940 and 1966. He served as Tech’s athletic director for an additional four years. A member of several national coaching halls of fame, Aillet was instrumental in forming the Louisiana High School Coaches Association in the 1930s and the Gulf States Conference in 1948. Maxie Lambright replaced Aillet in 1967 and remained at Tech through 1978, producing a “Golden Era” of Bulldog football which included seven conference titles, three national championship seasons and two Division I bowl games. He produced 11 All-Americans and sent a dozen Bulldogs into the pros. He also built the nation’s longest college football winning streak at 23 games during 1973 and 1974.

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. MAXIE

BULLDOG HISTORY

1910-1919

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.

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. school’s third perfect season at 7-0 in 1931.

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

1940-1949

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

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

Six different coaches led the Bulldogs of the 1920s as Tech posted a winning mark of 38-34-8 during the decade. Coach R.F. Clark helped start the 1920s right for Tech fans as his two Bulldog teams registered winning records of 5-1 and 6-0 in1920 and 1921. After Clark’s 1920 team lost the first game of the season 12-0 to Northwestern State, he proceeded to win 11 consecutive contests over the span of the next two years. William Dietz picked up where Clark left off in 1922 and 1923 as the Dietz-led Bulldogs posted records of 5-1-1 and 6-2, including a 100-0 win over Clark College in 1922 and a 66-7 victory over Northwestern State in 1923. After struggling through a 1-6-1 season in 1924 under Coach Phillip Arbuckle, Tech began its first athletic affiliation, becoming a member of the multi-state Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association in 1925 under Coach R.C. Kenney. Hugh Wilson coached the Bulldogs to a 5-2-2 record in 1926 and a 3-5 mark in 1927, a year that was highlighted by a game played against Mississippi College at Forsythe Park, the first intercollegiate football game played in Monroe. 1928: New Football Field Built Then, in the fall of 1928, a new Tech athletic field was built immediately adjoining the men’s gymnasium on the current site of A.E. Phillips Laboratory School. The field was dedicated on Homecoming day Nov. 5, before the game with UL-Lafayette (UL-Lafayette won 45-6).

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. 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.

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).

1950-1959

1970-1979

Record: 63-27-5 (.663) Coach: Joe Aillet (1950-1959) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Gulf States Conference(1950-1959)/ 1952, 1953, 1955, 1957, 1958, 1959

Record: 78-33-2 (.690) Coaches: Maxie Lambright (1970-1978); Larry Beightol (1979) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Gulf States Conference (1970)/ None; Southland Conference (19711979)/1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1977, 1978

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.

1960-1969 Record: 57-38 (.600) Coaches: Joe Aillet (1960-1966); Maxie Lambright (1967-1969) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Gulf States Conference(1960-1969)/ 1960, 1964, 1969 The 1960s saw plenty of change for Louisiana Tech late in the decade. However, early on it was the same old winning ways for Joe Aillet and his Bulldogs as Tech opened the era with yet another Gulf States Conference title and an 8-2 record. After recording marks of 5-4, 4-4 and 6-3 over the next three seasons, the Bulldogs captured another GSC title in 1964 with a 9-1 record. A 14-7 loss at the hands of Southern Mississippi kept the Bulldogs from obtaining the perfect record. Following another 4-4 season in 1965, the change began. Aillet’s 1966 squad, his last at Tech, fell to 1-9, breaking a streak of 21 consecutive years of non-losing seasons under the Tech legend. Aillet’s 26-year tenure as the Bulldogs head coach was over after 152 wins and 12 conference titles. 1967: Maxie Lambright Era Begins In 1967, Tech hired Maxie Lambright to take over the duties and after posting a 3-7 record in his first season, the Bulldogs resumed their winning ways in 1968 with a 9-2 record, thanks in large part to a young quarterback named Terry Bradshaw. 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.

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

1980-1989 Record: 59-53-3 (.513) Coaches: Billy Brewer (1980-1982); A.L. Williams (19831986); Carl Torbush (1987); Joe Raymond Peace (1988-1989) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Southland (1980-1986)/1982, 1984 The 1980s proved to be a turning point for Louisiana Tech football as the university made the decision to move up to Division I-A status starting in 1989. 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. 1987: Tech begins its move to I-A Tech played in the Southland Conference for the final time during the 1986 season as university President F. Jay Taylor’s goal was to leave what he called “mandated mediocrity” — Division I-AA. The Bulldogs competed as a Division I-AA independent in 1987 and 1988 during the “Movin’ Up” campaign. During those two seasons, the Bulldogs fought an uphill battle, playing road games against the likes of Baylor, Mississippi State, Texas A&M, Houston, Wyoming, Kansas State, Southern Mississippi and Florida State in an effort to meet Division I-A scheduling requirements. Another 6,000 seats were added to Joe Aillet Stadium as part of meeting those same requirements to move up to the next level. 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

schedule in order to meet Division I-A scheduling requirements. Thirty-one Bulldogs earned All-Southland Conference honors during the 1980s, while three Bulldogs earned All-Independent honors in 1989. Matt Dunigan, Walter Johnson, Doug “Tank” Landry and Glenell Sanders were named All-Americans during the decade.

1990-1999 Record: 60-49-3 (.536) Coaches: Joe Raymond Peace (1990-1995): Gary Crowton (1996-1998); Jack Bicknell (1999) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Division I-A Independent (1990-1992, 1996-1999)/none; Big West Conference (1993-1995)/none 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. During the decade of the ’90s, 54 Bulldog players earned all-conference

honors, while Josh Bradley, Edwards, Marty Kent, Rattay, William Roaf, Bobby Slaughter and Willie Smith were named All-Americans.

2000-2009 Record: 52-69 (.430) Coaches: Jack Bicknell (2000-2006); Derek Dooley (2007-2009) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Division I-A Independent(2000)/none; Western Athletic Conference (2001-2009)/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-

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.

2010-PRESENT

Record: 44-32 (.579) Coaches: Sonny Dykes (2010-2012), Skip Holtz (2013-Present) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Division I-A/FBS Western Athletic Conference (2010-2012/One (2011); Conference USA (2013-Present)/C-USA West Division (2014) Louisiana Tech began the Sonny Dykes era with high hopes for a high octane offense. 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. In early December Sonny Dykes left Tech for Cal and the Bulldogs hired Skip Holtz to become the program’s 33rd head coach and to guide the program into Conference USA. In the program’s second year as a member of Conference USA, Skip Holtz guided the Bulldogs to a C-USA West Division title and an appearance in the C-USA Championship game while moving on to the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl where Tech registered a 35-18 win over Illinois. With one of the most prolific offenses in school history, the 2015 team won the R+L New Orleans Bowl with a dominating 47-28 win over Arkansas State as running back Kenneth Dixon registered a short-lived NCAA record 87 career touchdowns (topped one week later by Navy’s Keenan Reynolds). Dixon, quarterback Jeff Driskel and defensive tackle Vernon Butler all went in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Hardly lost in the Dixon and Driskel show was reliable receiver Trent Taylor’s New Orleans Bowl record 149 receiving yards on 10 catches. His lone touchdown catch came early in the second quarter when Driskel found him alone in the back of the end zone as the AState defense keyed in on Dixon. Louisiana Tech’s defense was its normal salty self with seven tackles for a loss of 21 yards, two forced fumbles and two interceptions. Beau Fitte led the team with seven total tackles while Vontarrius Dora registered two tackles for a loss of 12 yards. Adairius Barnes made his 10th career interception while Xavier Woods tallied his ninth career interception. With the win, Louisiana Tech joins Marshall as the only two Conference USA teams to record nine wins over the last two seasons.

MERCEDES-BENZ SUPERDOME NEW ORLEANS, LA. NEW ORLEANS - Kenneth Dixon has always taken a team-first, me-last attitude. So it was fitting that on the series in which he set a new NCAA record for career touchdowns scored, the stitched numbers on his jersey were ripped off and he entered the end zone – and history – anonymously, at least visually. Dixon scored four touchdowns total (two rushing, two receiving) and helped Louisiana Tech (9-4) set the fifth-most offensive yards in NCAA bowl history as the Bulldogs won the 2015 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, 47-28, over Arkansas State (9-4) late Saturday night at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. He would finish the game as No. 1, both in the record books and on his jersey as he wore teammate Carlos Henderson’s number over the final quarter after Henderson left the game with a foot injury in the first quarter. “That number is symbolic of his unselfish attitude,” Louisiana Tech head coach Skip Holtz said following the game. “It’s incredibly symbolic; Kenneth Dixon gets just as excited when somebody else scores as when he does. He gets embarrassed talking about himself, he doesn’t get embarrassed when he goes out on that field. He’s an incredible talent, an incredible young man, you put them all together and he’s pretty special.” For Louisiana Tech it was a game of breaking records. Dixon is now the NCAA’s career touchdown scorer, LA Tech’s 687 yards are the fifth-most of any bowl game in NCAA history and Tech set or tied 17 New Orleans Bowl records. But as Dixon constantly preaches, it wasn’t about him. It was about everyone else on his team. It was about Jeff Driskel completing his redemption story by winning in the Superdome after losing in the Sugar Bowl in 2013. The Tech quarterback finished the year with 4,033 passing yards, ranking third in Louisiana Tech history, and set a new career-best performance with 458 passing yards. It was about the Bulldogs making good on its week-long claim that “NOLA is Bulldog Country” with the dominating win, Tech’s 10th straight over a Sun Belt Conference opponent. And it was about the senior class becoming the school’s winningest class in its Division I history by securing the 31st win, making good on a promise they made as freshmen to take the program to heights never seen before. But as dominating as the win was, the game’s outcome was in doubt for nearly three quarters. The teams entered halftime knotted in a 17-17 tie and even traded field goals early in the second half. It took a 59-yard pass to Dixon from Driskel that pushed the Bulldogs ahead followed by Dixon running it in from eight yards out to secure the win and set the NCAA record. Jonathan Barnes would kick a 28-yard field goal early in the fourth and Dixon would score once more as the 24 unanswered points proved to be more than Arkansas State could overcome. Entering the week, turnovers were a key part of the game and critical in the pregame analysis. Deservedly so considering Arkansas State entered as the national leaders in interceptions and turnovers while Louisiana Tech committed seven turnovers in its last outing. But it was the lack of turnovers that helped decide Saturday’s outcome. Louisiana Tech did not commit a turnover while forcing three turnovers from the Red Wolves with two interceptions and a fumble. “We talked to our football team about winning the turnover battle, and that’s something that Arkansas State has done well,” Holtz said.

35 FIGHTING ILLINI 18

LOUISIANA TECH

BULLDOGS ILLINOIS

2014 ZAXBY’S HEART OF DALLAS BOWL COTTON BOWL STADIUM DALLAS, TEXAS DALLAS (AP) - Louisiana Tech’s Houston Bates had a career day against his former team - his 4 1-2 sacks in the Heart of Dallas Bowl matched the number he had in three seasons at Illinois. Bates, who graduated and transferred to finish his eligibility closer to home was chosen MVP of the game after the Bulldogs beat the Illini 35-18 on Friday. “It wasn’t Houston Bates vs. Illinois. It was Louisiana Tech vs. Illinois,” Bates said. Kenneth Dixon scored one of his two touchdowns on an 80-yard reception and Xavier Woods scored on a 69-yard interception. The Bulldogs (9-5) also got touchdown runs of 16 yards from Jarred Craft and 28 yards from Blake Martin on a dark, overcast day at the Cotton Bowl stadium. Illinois (6-7) struggled early with penalties and missed field goals, but got within three points on David Reisner’s 43-yard field goal early in the fourth quarters. But Dixon scored his second TD from one yard out with six minutes left to make it 28-18 and the Illini couldn’t answer. Illinois appeared to have gotten a break when LaKeith Walls sacked Cody Sokol, causing him to fumble. Jihad Ward returned it 19 yards before Dixon forced a fumble and Sokol recovered. That drive was capped by Dixon’s TD. “The way the guys played, Kenneth and Cody and throughout the whole season, it’s truly outstanding,” Bates said. “It’s something I’m going to live for the rest of my life. And if I die tomorrow, my life would be complete.” Tech coach Skip Holtz then asked Bates to skip the humble answer and say what it really meant to him to win. “Unbelievable,” Bates added with a huge smile. “I know it’s been an emotional week for him,” Holtz said, “and I know it’s been an emotional week to see him go out and do the things that he did.” Bates had an additional sack in the closing minutes negated when a teammate couldn’t get off the field in time and the Bulldogs were penalized for having 12 players on the field. Dixon became Louisiana Tech’s career leader in yards rushing, finishing with 63 for a total of 3,410 in three seasons. He is also the only FBS player with both a run and a reception of at least 80 yards this season. Louisiana Tech went into the game tied for first place among FBS schools with 25 interceptions and first with 40 total turnovers forced. With Monday’s two Illini turnovers, Tech converted turnovers into 198 points this season. “I was just not giving up on the play,” Dixon said. “I mean, he got the ball. He was running. I got behind him and just tried to do my best to get the ball back.” “I saw Kenneth coming and, what went through my head?” Holtz said. “`Get ìm, Kenneth! Get ìm! Get ìm! Get ìm!’ And he got there. Great strip on the ball.” “That’s the game of football to me,” Illinois coach Tim Beckman said of the turnovers. “I think they’ve been very opportunistic in what they’ve done this year. We need to be-

come that better, our defense. No question those were big, huge plays.” Tech led 21-9 lead at halftime after Reilly O’Toole’s pass was returned for a touchdown by Woods midway through the second, but Illinois responded with a 3-yard scoring run by Donovonn Young. The 2-point conversion failed, though, but Reisner banked in a field goal to cut the Bulldogs’ lead to 3. O’Toole threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Jon Davis early in the second quarter. He was 24 of 39 for a season-high 295 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Taylor Zalewski kicked a 27-yard FG in the first quarter for Illinois, which committed eight first-half penalties for 53 yards and missed two field goals attempts and an extra point. Sokol, who began his collegiate career in the Big Ten at Iowa, completed 14 of 28 passes for 247 yards and one touchdown. On Woods’ interception, the pass was thrown ahead of Dudek, whose uniform appeared to be held by Tech’s Bryson Abraham just before Woods made the grab. “Reilly threw the ball where I was supposed to be,” Dudek said. “Which I probably would have been had I not been held, but the ref didn’t call it.” Score by Quarters 1 2 3 4 OT Score Record Illinois 3 6 6 3 - 18 (6-7) Louisiana Tech 14 7 0 14 - 35 (9-5) Scoring Summary: 1st 07:29 LATECH CRAFT, Jarred 16 yd run (BARNES,Jonathan kick), 6-63 1:26 03:46 ILL Zalewski, T. 27 yd field goal, 8-64 3:37 03:28 LATECH DIXON,Kenneth 80 yd pass from SOKOL, Cody (BARNES,Jonathan kick), 1-80 0:12 2nd 11:15 ILL Davis, Jon 25 yd pass from O’Toole, Reilly (Zalewski, T. kick failed), 5-65 1:30 07:20 LATECH WOODS, Xavier 69 yd interception return (BARNES,Jonathan kick) 3rd 06:04 ILL Young, Donovonn 3 yd run (O’Toole, Reilly pass failed), 9-72 4:17 4th 14:01 ILL Reisner, David 43 yd field goal, 10-49 3:59 06:15 LATECH DIXON,Kenneth 1 yd run (BARNES,Jonathan kick), 5-84 2:06 03:43 LATECH MARTIN, Blake 28 yd run (BARNES,Jonathan kick), 6-49 1:36 Team Statistics ILL LA Tech First Downs 26 16 RUSHES-YARDS (NET) 33-122 31-114 PASSING YDS (NET) 329 247 Passes Att-Comp-Int 47-28-1 28-14-0 TOTAL OFFENSE PLAYS-YARDS 80-451 59-361 Fumble Returns-Yards 1-19 0-0 Punt Returns-Yards 0-0 2-11 Kickoff Returns-Yards 3-66 4-76 Interception Returns-Yards 0-0 1-69 Punts (Number-Avg) 5-38.8 6-37.3 Fumbles-Lost 1-1 1-1 Penalties-Yards 9-68 6-45 Possession Time 35:00 25:00 Third-Down Conversions 3 of 15 3 of 13 Fourth-Down Conversions 1 of 2 0 of 0 Red-Zone Scores-Chances 2-3 2-2 Sacks By: Number-Yards 2-19 6-43 Individual Statistics RUSHING: Illinois-Ferguson, Josh 7-50; Dudek, Mike 1-50; Young, Donovonn 6-18; O’Toole, Reilly 18-2; Davis, Jon 1-2.

2011 SAN DIEGO COUNTY CREDIT UNION POINSETTIA BOWL QUALCOMM STADIUM SAN DIEGO, CALIF. SAN DIEGO - Fifteenth-ranked TCU scored two fourth quarter touchdowns to complete a 31-24 comefrom-behind victory over Louisiana Tech in the 2011 San Diego Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl Wednesday night at Qualcomm Stadium. With Tech (8-5) leading 24-17 midway through the fourth quarter, TCU running back Luke Shivers completed an impressive 18-play, 72-yard drive with a one-yard plunge with 7:49 to play to tie the game at 24-24. After a three-and-out by the Bulldog offense on its ensuing possession, TCU (11-2) took the lead on a 42-yard strike from Casey Pachall to Skye Dawson with 4:26 to play. The touchdown came on a third-downand-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

104

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. Score by Quarters #15 TCU Louisiana Tech

2008 INDEPENDENCE BOWL INDEPENDENCE STADIUM SHREVEPORT, LA. It’s no surprise that Louisiana Tech turned to its defense and special teams against Northern Illinois Sunday night at the 33rd Independence Bowl at Independence Stadium. Those units were instrumental all season in leading head coach Derek Dooley and Co. to its first post-season appearance since 2001 and only its third since the program joined the Football Bowl Subdivision in 1989. On Sunday night in Shreveport, once again, they came through leading Tech to a 17-10 win over the Huskies. Phillip Livas, the offensive MVP of the game, got the game started for Tech with a 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the first quarter and then the Bulldogs defense stiffened the rest of the way. After allowing a NIU touchdown on only its second possession, the 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. The eight wins is the most by a Bulldog team since the 1999 Tech squad posted an 8-3 mark and the bowl win was the first since the 1977 Independence Bowl.

2001 HUMANITARIAN BOWL 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.

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

1978 INDEPENDENCE BOWL STATE FAIR STADIUM SHREVEPORT, LA. Tech’s return trip to the Independence Bowl was quite different from the first as East Carolina defeated the Bulldogs 35-13. The Pirates forced four fumbles and intercepted Bulldogs quarterback Eric Barkley three times en route to the victory. ECU took control of the game early, scoring twice in the first quarter. The Pirates pushed their lead to 21-0 on a touchdown run early in the second quarter. The Bulldogs answered less than two minutes later with a 32-yard touchdown strike. Tech cut the lead to 21-10 with a 36-yard field goal less than a minute before the end of the half. The second half was virtually all East Carolina. Swilley booted another 36-yard field goal six minutes into the third quarter, but that was the end of the offensive night for the Bulldogs. Pirate running back Theodore Sutton raced 45 yards for a touchdown with just under seven minutes remaining in the quarter. The Pirates sealed the victory with another touchdown late in the game.

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

1984 NCAA DIVISION I-AA CHAMPIONSHIP 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 17yard scoring strike. Carter’s extra point was wide left, but Montana State still led 9-0. Montana State’s defense held Louisiana Tech without a first down in the opening 15 minutes of play while forcing two Bulldog turnovers. The second quarter started better for the Bulldogs as Tech marched down to the Montana State 27-yard line before Gandy fumbled and the Bobcats recovered, ending the Tech scoring threat. Montana State upped its advantage to 16-0 as it drove 80 yards, capped by a Bradley to Bignell 33-yard scoring strike. Carter added a 48-yard field goal right before the half as the Bobcats took a commanding 19-0 lead into the locker room. After gaining only 62 total yards of offense in the first half, Tech had a little more success in the final two quarters of play. However, Gandy’s 10-yard touchdown pass to Mike Sherman with only 0:48 remaining in the game was too little too late as Montana State won the 1984 Division I-AA National Championship. Gandy finished the afternoon, completing 24 of 38 passes for 287 yards and the one score but was intercepted four times by the Bobcats defense. Bradley posted stellar numbers for Montana State, completing 32 of 57 passes for 334 yards and two scores while Bignell registered 10 receptions for 130 yards and two touchdowns.

In Terry Bradshaw’s final appearance as a Bulldog, he completed 20 passes for 299 yards, but he was sacked 12 times for 143 yards in losses as the Bulldogs fell 34-14 to East Tennessee in the 1969 Grantland Rice Bowl. The Buccaneers got on the scoreboard first with a touchdown in the first quarter to take an early 6-0 lead. East Tennessee extended its lead to 13-0 in the second quarter on a 37-yard halfback pass for a touchdown and took that lead into the locker room at the half. The Bulldogs finally found the end zone in the third quarter on an eight-yard pass from Bradshaw to fullback Buster Herren. The Buccaneers added a third-quarter touchdown before the Bulldogs pulled within 20-14 on a 19-yard touchdown pass from Bradshaw to Tommy Spinks. That was as close as Louisiana Tech got in the game though, as East Tennessee iced the game with two last stanza scores. Score by Quarters East Tennessee Louisiana Tech

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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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

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

160

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 by 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 – one grandson, Christopher, and twin granddaughters, Elizabeth and Everly.

M c CLELLAND

Director of Athletics

@TMcClelland

Since stepping on campus in July of 2013, the cornerstone of Louisiana Tech Director of Athletics Tommy McClelland’s leadership has been the philosophy of building champions on the playing fields, in the classrooms and in life. 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. If 2015-16 is any indication, McClelland’s philosophy is paying dividends in Ruston. During McClelland’s third year sitting in the AD chair in Ruston, the University’s student-athletes combined to record one of the most successful years in recent history. “What a great job by our coaches, our student-athletes and our support staff this past year,” said McClelland. “It was truly a memorable year in so many ways. We preach building champions on the field, in the classroom and in life, and I truly believe we had more than our share of all of those during the past 12 months. “I think this year was one we can build upon. We never want to be satisfied, and we are always striving for even greater things. That’s our philosophy. However, when we look back at the past year, we know that a lot of blood and sweat and tears went into the successes that Louisiana Tech and its student-athletes had on the playing fields and in the classroom.” How impressive was 2015-16? Louisiana Tech joined Florida, Florida State, Ohio State and Ole Miss as the only five Football Bowl Subdivision schools to recorded 9-plus wins in football, 20-plus wins in men’s basketball and 40-plus wins in baseball. That’s pretty elite company. It was also one of only 12 FBS programs to play in the postseason in each of those three sports, joining Florida, Connecticut, Florida State, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Ohio State, Washington, Duke, Arizona, Utah and Miami (Fla.). Not a bad crowd in which to be included. The impressive year started in late August when the brand new $23 million Davison Athletics Complex – which encloses the south end of Joe Aillet Stadium – opened and the second largest crowd in Tech football history watched the Bulldogs defeat Southern in the season opener. It was just the beginning of a great season for head coach Skip Holtz and the Bulldogs, who defeated Sun Belt Conference champion Arkansas State 47-28 in the R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. It was the first back-to-back bowl victories by LA Tech in program history (Tech defeated Illinois in the 2014 Heart of Dallas Bowl). The year culminated in June when the Bulldog baseball team – which was picked 11th in the preseason C-USA Coaches Poll – earned its first ever at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, winning a pair of games in Starkville while advancing to the regional championship game against Mississippi State. The Diamond Dogs posted 10 wins over Top 25 teams, including a three-game conference sweep of the Rice Owls. Tech earned the program’s first ever at-large berth and its first regional appearance since 1987, defeating 4-time NCAA champion Cal State Fullerton. Tech’s 42 wins were the sixth most in program history and the most since 1988. It was a truly memorable year on the playing fields, including: The Bulldog golf team shocked everyone in route to capturing the Conference USA team title (its first since 1980) and clinching the program’s first ever appearance in the NCAA Regionals. The Lady Techster tennis team recorded the program’s first win over a nationally ranked team (defeated No. 45 Georgia State) while also earning its first ever national ranking. Chad Camper was named the LSWA State Coach of the Year for the second time in three seasons. The Lady Techster soccer team qualified for the C-USA Tournament for the third time in four years and recorded the program’s 100th win. Katie Sloan also became the 17th student-athlete in LA Tech history to earn Academic All-American honors. The Lady Techster softball team recorded a 32-win season, its first

back-to-back 30-plus win seasons since the late 1990s. Tech won five straight league series for the first time in program history and fell just percentage points shy of winning the West Division. Tech also drew a program home record 1,927 fans against LSU. The Bulldog basketball team won 23 games, eight of those coming against teams that participated in the postseason, including Ohio State and Florida Gulf Coast. Tech advanced to its fourth straight postseason tournament, while senior guard Alex Hamilton was named the Conference USA Player of the Year and honorable mention AP All-American. The LA Tech track and field teams also had some impressive individual performances as Jermey Hicks earned second team all-American honors in the indoor 60-meters, advancing to the NCAA Indoor Championships. Adams represented the University in the NCAA Outdoor Championships, competing in the long jump in Eugene. Off the playing field, the LA Tech Athletics Department had a stellar year as well. Seventy-five student-athletes earned their bachelor’s or master’s degrees while 151 made the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll and 27 received the C-USA Commissioner’s Academic Medal. Tech’s student-athletes recorded a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 83 percent and a Federal Graduation Rate (FGR) of 62 percent, with both being record highs for the University. Louisiana Tech’s 83 percent graduation success rate ranks as the second highest in the state among Division I football-playing public institutions, trailing only LSU by one point (84). Louisiana Tech also made the announcement in the fall that it partnered with adidas America, Inc. to establish a transformational 5-year exclusive agreement that will outfit all 16 NCAA men’s and women’s programs in adidas uniforms, apparel, footwear and equipment through the 2020-2021 athletics season. Tech alumni and fans also continued to buy in to the vision for the athletic department as the Louisiana Tech Athletics Club (LTAC) set an alltime high in total LTAC giving and most total LTAC donors. 2015-16 was truly amazing. Shortly after his hiring in 2013, McClelland re-energized the LA Tech fan-base when he joined President Guice in an October press conference revealing the updated plans for the Davison Athletics Complex located in the south endzone of Joe Aillet Stadium - the centerpiece of the University’s Quest for Excellence capital campaign. McClelland completed the fundraising needed for the project, and the new facility opened in August of 2015. It generates an additional $500,000 annually in revenue. Another marquee addition to the Louisiana Tech athletic facilities during McClelland’s tenure is 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 included 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 pair of record-setting years in fundraising. During the 2013-14 fiscal year, McClelland spearheaded the efforts in raising more than $10.8 million through both LTAC and Quest for Excellence; more than double any previous year in Tech Athletics his-

tory. Included in the record total were five, seven-figure gifts. The 2014-15 fiscal year saw record totals in Louisiana Tech Athletic Club (LTAC) unrestricted donations -- both in dollar figures and in total number of donors. It also included increases in ticket sales in football, men’s and women’s basketball. Tech had plenty of success stories on the playing fields during those first two years, led by the Bulldog basketball team winning backto-back Conference USA regular season titles and advancing into the NIT with impressive road wins over SEC foe Georgia (2014) and Texas A&M (2015). The Dunkin’ Dawgs tied the program single season wins record (29) in 2014 and totaled 56 wins during the two year span. On the gridiron, the Bulldog football team captured the Conference USA West Division title in 2014, recording a 9-5 overall record and barely falling to Marshall in the C-USA title game. Tech earned an invitation to the Heart of Dallas Bowl and promptly defeated Big 10 foe Illinois 35-18. Tech sophomore Victor Lange became the first Bulldog golfer ever to earn an NCAA Regional appearance, competing in the San Antonio Region in 2014 and Lubbock Region in 2015. He also hired one of the rising stars in college baseball in Greg Goff, a 21-year coaching veteran. In just two seasons in Ruston, Goff led the program to this year’s NCAA Regionals before being hired by SEC member Alabama. 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, former 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 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 (6) and Grayson (5).
