BULLDOGS CLINCH THE WILD WEST IN A PLAYOFF, OF SORTS

College football fans have clamored for a playoff and the Bulldogs have, in essence, found themselves in one. LA Tech defeated Rice on Nov. 29 in a winner-take-all game for the West Division and the chance to advance to face Marshall in the C-USA Championship Game. LA Tech has won 25 conference championships in its program history (a number that ties for 11th among current FBS schools, see chart below) but has never been in a league split into divisions prior to joining Conference USA in 2013. The Bulldogs were projected to finish fourth in the West Division this year in the preseason rankings behind Rice, North Texas and UTSA. LA Tech has defeated North Texas (42-21), UTSA (27-20) and Rice (76-31) this season.

2014 MARKS FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP GAME FOR LA TECH

Louisiana Tech as a program has won 25 conference championships in its history - a mark that ranks tied for 11 among all current FBS programs - but has never reached a championship game. LA Tech joined Conference USA in 2013, marking the first time the Bulldogs have been in a conference with enough members to allow for a championship game per NCAA rules.

- First three games played in 13 days on the road against bowl teams from 2013 - Four of first five on the road against bowl teams from 2013 - Combined 2013 record of first four FBS opponents: 41-12 (.774) - Combined 2013 record of first five opponents: 47-18 (.723) - Of first four FBS opponents: * Two are ranked in the top-five * Three of four are ranked or receiving votes

SKIP HOLTZ ON LA TECH’S SEPTEMBER SCHEDULE: “When I look at our September schedule, I sleep like a baby - I wake up every two hours and cry.”

STATISTICAL LEADERS

LA TECH ONLY ONE OF THREE TO HOLD MARSHALL UNDER 500 YARDS

Throughout the season, Marshall’s potent offense has been able to rack up the yards at will against most of its opponents but Louisiana Tech’s defense provided a new challenge for the Thundering Herd. In the Dec. 6 Conference USA Championship Game, LA Tech’s defense held Marshall to a season-low 429 total offensive yards. That marked just the third time in 13 games that Marshall had been held under 500 total offensive yards after Miami (Ohio) (432 yards on Aug. 30) and FIU (457 yards on Oct. 18).

3,189 YARDS PASSING: CODY SOKOL

HOLTZ REACHES 100 CAREER WINS

Louisiana Tech head coach Skip Holtz reached a milestone on Nov. 29 achieved by only 22 other active head coaches. With a 76-31 win over Rice, Holtz secured his 100th career victory as a head coach. He has reached the century plateau while head coach of four different schools: UConn (1994-98), East Carolina (2005-09), South Florida (2010-12) and Louisiana Tech (2013-Present). See page 9 for a full list of active head coaches with 100-plus wins.

1,236 YARDS

HOLTZ THE FIRST TO TAKE TWO TO C-USA CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

RUSHING: KENNETH DIXON

When Louisiana Tech faced Marshall on Dec. 6 for the Conference USA Championship, it marked two firsts. Not only did Louisiana Tech make its first appearance in a conference championship game but Skip Holtz will became the first head coach to take two different schools to the C-USA Championship Game. Holtz previously guided East Carolina to back-to-back C-USA Championships in 2008 and 2009, defeating Tulsa (27-24 in 2008) and Houston (38-32 in 2009) in those appearances.

FAMILIAR FACES

When Louisiana Tech and Illinois face each other in the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl on Dec. 26, one person on the field will be very familiar with both teams. Defensive end Houston Bates - recently a second team All-Conference USA selection and previously an All-Big Ten Conference honorable mention selection - transferred from Illinois to Louisiana Tech after receiving his bachelor’s degree last year. This season, Bates has been one of the dominant forces on a defense that ranks atop Conference USA and as one of the best defenses in the nation.

BULLDOGS VS. THE LAND OF LINCOLN

POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE

Louisiana Tech has the unique situation of being a quarter system school with the fall quarter having ended during the team’s second bye week (Nov. 15). On that Saturday, the Bulldog program added a few football players to the list of alumni of Louisiana Tech University with Blake Martin and Devon McKinney receiving their diplomas. Additionally, former players Alec Davis and Josh Ross also received their degrees. The addition of Martin and McKinney means Tech now has 10 current players with their undergraduate degrees, a mark that ranks seventh in the country. The Bulldogs have led the country in this category the last two seasons. Bulldogs with Undergraduate Degrees Houston Bates Taylor Burch Sterling Griffin Blake Martin Devon McKinney D.J.

When Louisiana Tech faces Illinois in the 2014 Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl on Dec. 26, it will mark the second consecutive year that the Bulldogs have played in one of the most historic football facilities in the country. Last season LA Tech played in the Heart of Dallas Classic against Army at the Cotton Bowl Stadium; however, this season the Bulldogs are looking for better success and better weather. The contest against Army in 2013 included two lightning delays before LA Tech dropped the 35-16 decision.

ON THIS DATE Louisiana Tech’s all-time football results in games played on Dec. 6: GAME-BY-GAME BREAKDOWN

Year Opponent Location Score W/L 2014 Illinois Dallas, Texas - Louisiana Tech has never played on Dec. 26 prior to this week’s game. ONLY player in the nation to have both a rush and a reception of 80 yards or more 2nd in Nation among active players with 56 total career touchdowns scored 5th in the Nation - Touchdowns Scored (23)

CLOSE CALLS Louisiana Tech has had several close games since 2000. The following is a list of one-possession games (eight points or less) since the turn of the century:

ZAXBY’S HEART OF DALLAS BOWL MAKES SEVEN

BULLDOGS THE HOME TEAM IN ALL SEVEN BOWL GAMES

In a weird coincidence of fate, Louisiana Tech has been the home team in all six previous bowl games with that streak continuing in 2014. The Conference USA representative - Louisiana Tech - is slated to be the home team in the 2014 Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl.

LOOKING TO RETURN TO .500 IN TEXAS

While Louisiana Tech has posted a winning record against teams from the state of Texas, the Bulldogs are now within a game of pulling even at .500 when playing in the Lone Star State. LA Tech is 35-36-1 all-time when playing in the state of Texas after going 1-3 last year and posting a dominating 42-21 win at North Texas on Sept. 11.

LONE(SOME) STAR STATE

After playing five games over the last two years in the state of Texas, Louisiana Tech is feeling a little lonesome for the Lone Star State this year as the Bulldogs will only play two games there – at North Texas on Thursday, Sept. 11 and in the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl on Dec. 26. Of the 58 out-of-state student-athletes on the Louisiana Tech roster, almost half (28) call Texas home. This marks the fewest games in Texas for LA Tech since 2011 when the Bulldogs did not make a trip to the Lone Star State.

KENNETH DIXON SURPASSES 1,000 SEASON, 3,000 CAREER RUSHING YARDS

Junior Kenneth Dixon has reached two major plateaus in his last two games. On Nov. 22 at Old Dominion Dixon became just the fourth Louisiana Tech player in school history to run for over 3,000 yards in his career. Then on Nov. 29 against Rice he surpassed the 1,000 yard mark on the ground, making him just the third player in school history to record multiple seasons with 1,000 rushing yards. Dixon enters the bowl game with 3,347 rushing yards in his career and needs only five yards to match Porter’s school record career mark of 3,352 yards. LA Tech’s Multiple 1,000-Yard Rushing Seasons Ryan Moats 1,300 Yards in 2003 1,774 Yards in 2004 Daniel Porter 1,164 Yards in 2008 1,132 Yards in 2009 Kenneth Dixon 1,194 Yards in 2012 1,236 Yards in 2014 ... and counting

DOUBLE THE FUN

When Adairius Barnes and Le’Vander Liggins each registered two interceptions in a game against Western Kentucky on Nov. 1, they added to a growing list of Bulldogs who have notched multiple interceptions in a game since Skip Holtz was named head coach at Louisiana Tech. Tech now has five players who have recorded two interceptions in a game on seven different occasions since last October.

MAN(NY) OH MAN(NY), WHAT A DEFENSE

Defensive coordinator Manny Diaz has been at Louisiana Tech for less than a year but his arrival in Ruston is being felt in a big way, mainly by opposing teams offenses. Prior to LA Tech’s 76-31 win over Rice, the Bulldogs had recorded at least eight tackles for a loss in eight consecutive games (Tech only registered 7.0 tackles for a loss against the Owls). The Bulldogs have managed to force at least three turnovers in eight of their 13 games this season and have forced at least four turnovers in four of their last five games. That defensive prowess is being felt in several national categories as Louisiana Tech ranks in the top 25 in multiple defensive categories and has consistently forced turnovers from opposing teams in every game.

When Manny Diaz took over the LA Tech defense, little did he know he was inheriting what was quietly becoming one of the best secondaries in Conference USA with some players as good as any in the country. Le’Vander Liggins, Adairius Barnes and Xavier Woods lead a group that is challenging most teams’ passing games in 2014.

Louisiana Tech enters this weeks’ game as just one of a few teams to have six or more players with 20-plus receptions this season.

Louisiana Tech seems to be quite adept at making halftime adjustments in 2014 as evidence by the hot start the Bulldogs CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) - Louisiana Tech came to Illinois Saturday averseem to have almost every game coming out of the half. LA Tech enters the bowl game ranked second in the nation in scoring margin aging 56 points a game. It’s safe to say Bulldogs don’t need much help finding the scoreboard. in the third quarter with a +111 margin. Tech has scored 158 points in the third quarter this year and only allowed 47.

They got it anyway, from an Illinois team that couldn’t hold onto the ball. The Bulldogs (3-0) turned six Illinois turnovers and four touchdown passes from quarterback Colby Cameron into a 52-24 road upset of the Illini (2-2). And not just an upset for the Western Athletic Conference school, but a blowout. The Bulldogs led 21-7 at the end of the first quarter on Illinois’ first three turnovers, and dominated the Illini, never trailing again.

KENNETH DIXON WITH LONGEST RUSHING TOUCHDOWN STREAK IN THE NATION

Louisiana Tech tailback Kenneth Dixon is one of the top backs in the country and his ability to find the end zone is currently unmatched in the nation. Entering the bowl game against Illinois Dixon has scored a rushing touchdown in 12 consecutive games, a streak that began at Louisiana-Lafayette on Sept. 6. That stretch of 12 consecutive games is currently the longest in the nation. The only game Dixon did not rush for a score in was the season opener on Aug. 30 at No. 4/3 Oklahoma but the junior tailback did catch a touchdown pass as he has scored in all 13 games this season.

LOCKS OF LOVE

One of the newest Bulldogs to make an immediate impact this season as been Hardin, Texas native Mitch Villemez. It is hard not to notice Villemez on the playing field during games and it is not just because of his 35 total tackles this season which ranks 11th on the team or his starting in 10 games. Villemez can be seen with a long red ponytail and he has that hair style for a very specific reason: he is growing it out for Locks of Love. Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. In order to donate to Locks of Love, hair most be a minimum of 10 inches long before it can be cut and donated.

HESTER DEFIES MEDICAL ODDS, OVERCOMES RAMSAY HUNT SYNDROME

During Mardi Gras break last spring, strength and conditioning coach Kurt Hester felt a dizziness and suffered from a partial (temporary) facial paralysis. After several tests, he was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. The Mayo Clinic describes Ramsay Hunt syndrome as occurring when a shingles infection affects the facial nerve near one of the ears. In addition to causing a painful shingles rash, it can also cause facial paralysis and hearing loss in the affected ear. And yet he never missed a day of work. He refused to allow the facial paralysis to slow him down but the vertigo did cause him some issues. Hester would be yelling at players in the weight room above the weights, encouraging them to keep working harder and then the vertigo would hit without warning. All Hester could do would be to grab ahold of something as quick as possible and wait a few moments until he could orient himself.

Not only has Cody Sokol impressed with his overall numbers (3,117 passing yards and 29 touchdowns) but he has also impressed with consistent numbers this season. Through eight out of 13 games this season Sokol has thrown at least 20 completions. That is an impressive mark considering the challenging road schedule Louisiana Tech has faced this season with an Auburn defense ranked in the top 20 in the nation and an Oklahoma defense ranked in the top 40 in the nation. Ironically one of the games he did not throw for 20 completions was in LA Tech’s most dominant win of the season, a 55-3 win over UTEP.

While Louisiana Tech has four captains (Houston Bates, Kenneth Dixon, Tony Johnson and Hunter Lee) none of them can be seen at the coin toss at midfield when Louisiana Tech enters 7. an overtime game. Instead, punter Logan McPherson will be at midfield. 9. Skip Holtz explains the reasoning behind that: “At that point, the punter’s job is done for the day. Your field goal kicker still has something to do. Not too many teams 11. are punting during overtime. We figured we would send our punter out from a philosophy standpoint. We told him what to call and what the decisions were. Let the captains sit down and talk with their coaches and game plan. We said at the beginning of the year what our plan was going to be. We wanted those other guys to talk with their coaches and focus on what they needed to do.”

THE SIXTH YEAR’S THE CHARM

LA Tech wide receiver Sterling Griffin was granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA on Aug. 18 allowing him to compete for the Bulldogs in the 2014 season. Griffin, a native of Opa Locka, Florida, was one of Louisiana Tech’s top receivers with 357 receiving yards on 33 catches last year, averaging 10.8 yards per catch. His 74-yard touchdown catch at Rice last November was the longest play of the year for the Bulldogs. Griffin was the lone sixth-year applicant for LA Tech in 2014 coming off a year where the Bulldogs submitted six eligibility waivers to the NCAA. Last season, LA Tech was granted three sixth-year waivers and two more waivers allowing an additional season of eligibility. Receivers Richie Casey, Andrew Guillot and Scott Cathcart and offensive linemen Larry Banks and Jeremy Graffree were granted eligibility in 2013 by the NCAA but the final two decisions involving Banks and Cathcart did not become final until three days prior to Tech’s first game of the season.

Louisiana Tech’s defensive front has been stifling this year, ranking highly in several categories but the Diaz-led defense was impressive in Tech’s 31-20 win at Southern Miss as the Bulldogs held USM to -31 rushing yards. The last time LA Tech held an opponent to negative rushing yards was in 2009, limiting a powerful Hawai’i offense to -7 rushing yards. That wasn’t the first time teams have struggled to run on the Bulldogs this season.

STOPPING THE RUN? NO WORRIES, DIXON CAN ADAPT

On Oct. 25, Southern Miss made a concerted effort to stop Kenneth Dixon’s run game. Little did the Golden Eagles know, the junior from Strong, Arkansas can do more than just run. Dixon finished the game with 124 receiving yards on six catches with two touchdowns, including an 84-yard touchdown reception. He added 41 yards rushing to his credit for 165 all-purpose yards in Louisiana Tech’s first win in Hattiesburg since 1982.

DIXON SETS SCHOOL RECORD FOR 100-PLUS RUSHING YARD GAMES

LA Tech tailback Kenneth Dixon broke yet another school record on Oct. 18, 2014 when his 121 rushing yard performance marked his 14th career game rushing for 100 or more yards. Dixon had been tied with Jason Davis for the most 100-yard performances at 13 times and now stands alone in the category.

PINSON RECEIVES NATIONAL RECOGNITION FOR DOMINATING PERFORMANCE

Terrell Pinson received national recognition following his performance against UTSA on Oct. 18, being named the FWAA/ Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week, the College Football Performance Awards National Defensive Player of the Week, receiving a helmet sticker on ESPN’s GameDay Final and receiving Defensive Player of the Week honors from both Conference USA and the Louisiana Sports Writers Association. Pinson had a career day as he registered seven total tackles (four solo, three assisted) with a solo stop for a loss of two yards, two interceptions returned for 34 yards, a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown, two pass break-ups (one of which was almost a third interception) and a quarterback hurry. His performance led Tech’s defense to force four UTSA turnovers despite the Roadrunners entering the game at plus-3 in turnover margin for the year. The win marks Louisiana Tech’s third 3-0 start in league play since the school moved up to the Division I-A/ FBS level in 1989. He is believed to be the first Louisiana Tech player to receive defensive national player of the week honors.

LA TECH SETTING STADIUM RECORDS ... AWAY FROM HOME

It began in Lafayette, Louisiana and continued in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Louisiana Tech’s 2014 football team is intent on leaving its mark on the history books but the Bulldogs are doing so on other teams annals. Quarterback Cody Sokol threw for 423 yards on Oct. 25 in the Rivalry in Dixie game at Southern Miss, marking the second-best passing day in the storied history of Carlisle-Faulkner Field at M.M. Roberts Stadium to continue a streak of impressive performances by Bulldogs this season. The streak of record breaking (this year, at least) started on Sept. 6 when Kenneth Dixon set a new Cajun Field record with a 99-yard rushing touchdown. That run also set new Louisiana Tech and Conference USA records.

With Louisiana Tech’s 55-3 win over UTEP on Oct. 4 and 59-10 win over Western Kentucky on Nov. 1, the Bulldogs have registered two wins this season by at least 49 points, the first time a Louisiana Tech team has achieved that feat since 1922. That season, LA Tech defeated Clarke Memorial College, 100-0, and beat Southern Arkansas, 89-0.

WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS

Summer has come and past, The innocent faint of heart can never last, wake me up when September ends! No doubt Skip Holtz is thinking this when he looks at the schedule the Bulldogs face in the first five weeks of the year facing two top-five teams. In all, Tech’s four FBS opponents posted a 41-12 (.774) record last season with all four playing in bowl games.

BULLDOGS DON’T PUNT IN A GAME FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 2005

It seemed like every aspect of Louisiana Tech’s 55-3 win over UTEP on Oct. 4 was dominating except for one person – Logan McPherson. In that game Louisiana Tech never punted in its 14 drives against UTEP marking the first time since 2005 a Bulldog punter was not utilized. The last time Louisiana Tech did not punt in a game was in a 46-14 win over Hawai’i on Oct. 8, 2005 as Louisiana Tech had 10 possessions in the dominating win over the Warriors. In this season’s win over UTEP, the Miners had put LA Tech in position to put but were flagged for a substitution infraction that put the Bulldogs in field goal range.

Entering the 2014 season Louisiana Tech’s offensive line ranks fifth in the nation in fewest starts among the big boys up front. Having lost three starters from last year’s squad (and four starters from the year before), offensive line coach Matt Moore has had one of the toughest tasks in the nation replacing seven starters in a two-year span. This year, Moore’s unit has a combined 24 games started between Mitchell Bell, Tre Carter and Jens Danielsen. All other offensive linemen on Tech’s roster has not started a game entering the 2014 season.

HOME SWEET HOME

As Louisiana Tech finally returned home to Joe Aillet Stadium for its home opener on Sept. 20, it joined six other programs in hosting its first home game of the season (not at a neutral site) in the fourth week of the season. Navy, Ohio, Rice, SMU, UCF and Western Michigan all hosted their first home games that week while LA Tech, Navy and Ohio are the only programs in the country to spend the first three weeks of the season on the road. By virtue of the various kickoff times that Saturday, Louisiana Tech was the last team in the nation to kickoff its home schedule.

NEW DOG ON CAMPUS

While Louisiana Tech may have 22 seniors (including redshirt seniors) on its roster, that group is primarily a bunch of newbies when it comes to wearing the Red and Blue for Louisiana Tech. LA Tech lead the nation (tied with New Mexico) with the fewest number of player on its roster that has been on its campus for four and five years with only 11.

Every trend comes to an end. That was especially true for Louisiana Tech when the Bulldogs won decisively at North Texas, 42-21, in what was only the program’s second win on a Thursday since making the move to Division I-A in 1989.

SITUATIONALLY SPEAKING

SKIP

HOLTZ Head Coach

DA LL A S I S BU L L D OG C OU NT RY

@LATechSHoltz

Former Louisiana Tech University President Dr. Dan Reneau introduced former University of South Florida coach Skip Holtz as the 33rd head football coach at Louisiana Tech during a press conference on Friday, Dec. 14, 2012 in the Jarrell Room of the Charles Wyly Athletic Center. In his first season he inherited a team that lost 35 seniors with seven being invited to NFL camps (two through the NFL Draft) and brought together the team as it entered a new conference (Conference USA) under a new President and new Athletics Director, going 4-8. Holtz had spent the past three seasons as the head football coach at the University of South Florida. He has also served as the head coach at the University of Connecticut and East Carolina University where he won backto-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 President-Elect Dr. Les Guice. “Coach Holtz is a talented coach with a solid record of success and experience,” said Guice. “He has great knowledge of the game, tremendous character, exceptional leadership abilities, and a professional approach that will serve him well as head coach at Louisiana Tech. Holtz has participated in 15 postseason games in his coaching career, including seven as a head coach and eight as an assistant coach. Of the seven games as head coach, five occurred in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and two occurred in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). In his first season at South Florida, Holtz promptly led the Bulls to their fifth consecutive eight-win season, making them one of just 15 teams nationally that had won at least eight games during that timespan and one of only 10 teams in BCS leagues to accomplish the feat. In addition, USF played in its sixth consecutive bowl game, a 31-26 victory over Clemson in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. At the time, USF was one of just six programs nationally that had reached postseason play in each year as a BCS league member. In addition, with the victory, USF was one of just four programs that had won three consecutive bowl games. In 2010, USF accomplished numerous firsts under Holtz. The Bulls won at Cincinnati and at Louisville for the first time in program history and beat Rutgers in Tampa for the first time. In addition, USF traveled to Miami and defeated the Hurricanes in an overtime thriller, 23-20, marking the Bulls first win over Miami in program history. The 2011 season showed major improvement on the field, if not in the record, as USF finished 5-7 thanks to numerous heartbreaking defeats. After starting 4-0, including a huge win at Notre Dame to open the season, the Bulls dropped six of their final seven

games by a combined 28 points or 4.7 points per game. Included in those six losses were four 3-point defeats, three of which came on the final play of the game. USF was the only team in the nation that lost three games at the final gun. Looking passed the wins and losses, the Bulls improved in virtually every statistical category, especially on offense. USF improved its national ranking in total offense 75 spots from 2010 to 2011, the largest jump of any school in the country. The biggest improvement came in the passing game, where USF improved by 85 yards per game. Only two teams saw a greater jump in the passing offense national rankings. In addition, the Bulls improved 39 spots in rushing offense. Defensively, the Bulls finished second nationally in TFL and fourth in sacks and in the top 40 in run defense, total defense and scoring defense. Holtz went to USF after five seasons at East Carolina, where he won back-to-back Conference USA Championships in 2008 and `09 and finished with a 38-27 record. Holtz also spent five years as head coach at Connecticut, where he amassed a 34-23 record. Holtz led ECU to unprecedented heights, including four-straight winning seasons, a quartet of bowl game appearances and the back-to-back league crowns. A once-proud program, Holtz quickly revived the Pirates, which had stumbled to record just three wins in a 25-game period in the two-plus seasons prior to his arrival in 2005. He promptly instilled a sense of pride, commitment, character and discipline into a Pirate team that went on to reward its loyal and passionate fan base with the school’s first-ever run of four consecutive bowl invitations and the program’s first four-year streak of winning seasons since the 1970s. The drastic turnaround at ECU, which included a 7-6 finish in 2006, an 8-5 ledger in 2007, a 9-5 mark in 2008 and another nine-win campaign in 2009, coincided with dramatic school-record attendance increases at DowdyFicklen 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 all-purpose 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 all-around 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-the-Year 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 (3128). Holtz came to South Carolina after a successful five-year stint as head coach at fellow BIG EAST school, Connecticut. While at UConn, he led the Huskies to their best season in school history, up to that point, in 1998 and was recognized as one of the top young coaching talents in the country. Holtz has been credited for developing high-powered and prolific offenses throughout his coaching career. During his last season at Connecticut, he led the Huskies to a thenschool-record 10 victories and an appearance in the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs. His team ranked 11th nationally in scoring offense, averaging nearly 36 points per game. During his five-year tenure as head coach at UConn, Holtz guided the Huskies’ program to national top 25 rankings the last four seasons and unprecedented success in the school’s 100-year football history, which provided a firm foundation for the school’s eventual move to the FBS level in 2002. The success Holtz earned on the field at Connecticut during his first head coaching tenure was matched by his involvement in the community as a successful speaker, clinician and humanitarian - often donating his time and effort to many charitable and educational organizations. He served as the honorary chairman for Camp Courant in Hartford for four consecutive years, helping fund-raising efforts to send more than 1,000 under-privileged area children to recreational and educational camps during the summer. Holtz was also actively involved with the American Diabetes Association, serving as an honorary chairman and member of the Board of Trustees for two years. Holtz was honored in 1996 with the National Football Foundation Man-of-the-Year Award and was a member of the Foundation’s ethics committee. He was also the recipient of the Franciscan Life Center’s St. Francis Award in 1995, an honor given for his dedication and support of Christian values and outstanding athletic achievements. 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 6715-2. Born March 12, 1964, in Willimantic, Conn., Louis “Skip” Holtz spent the first two years of his life in Connecticut, while his father served as the top football assistant on the Huskies’ staff from 1964-65. He was a prep quarterback at Fayetteville (Ark.) High School, while his father was the head coach at the University of Arkansas. He attended Holy Cross Junior College in South Bend, Ind., for two years before transferring to Notre Dame in 1984. Holtz earned his bachelor’s degree in business management in 1986 and was a football letterwinner for the Irish that same year, appearing in all 11 games as a special teams member and backup flanker. Skip and his wife, Jennifer, are the parents of three children: Louis Leo (Trey) Holtz III, Chad Fitzgerald Holtz and Hailey Elizabeth Holtz.

Blake Baker was hired to coach the safeties for Louisiana Tech as he joined the LA Tech Family in February 2014. In his first season in Ruston, Baker helped lead a LA Tech defensive unit that led the nation in turnovers gained (40) with 15 fumble recoveries and 25 interceptions. Baker coached a squad that doubled its win total from the 2013 season and made the program’s first appearance in the Conference USA Championship Game opposite Marshall, thanks in large part to the Bulldogs’ tenaSafeties cious defense. He also helped coach a first team All-Conference USA selection in Xavier Woods, who was 18th in the country with five interceptions in 2014. @BlakeWBaker Baker joined the program after spending one month at Boise State in a non-coaching role and after helping guide Arkansas State to a Sun Belt Conference co-championship and a GoDaddy Bowl win over Ball State in 2013. He coached a squad that was ranked third in the Sun Belt in scoring defense (26.2 points per game) and third in pass defense (232.9 yards per game). He coached All-Sun Belt Conference Second Team honoree Sterling Young who registered 80 tackles, two interceptions, two pass break-ups and three fumbles recovered on the season. “I am very excited to have Blake Baker join our staff,” Holtz said. “Blake will be a great fit with our staff and University, having worked with [defensive coordinator] Manny Diaz before and having a strong familiarity with the state of Louisiana. He is a tireless worker, whether it be coaching kids on the field to success or recruiting kids to the program. He will be a great asset to our coaching staff and the LA Tech Family.” Baker went to A-State after spending 2010 through 2012 as a defensive graduate assistant coach at the University of Texas. He worked closely with both the Longhorns’ linebackers and defensive backs, two position groups that included eight All-Big 12 selections over the last two years. He also helped coach AllAmerican linebacker and Lott Trophy finalist Emmanuel Acho and cornerback Quandre Diggs, the 2011 Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year. He was a part of the Texas coaching staff in 2011 that led the Longhorns to a No. 11 national ranking in total defense, yielding just 306.8 yards per game. The 2011 Longhorns’ defense also ranked among the top 20 teams in the nation in rush defense (96.2 ypg), pass efficiency defense (111.0) and tackles for loss (7.4 pg). Texas won 17 games in Baker’s two years on the coaching staff, including a 21-10 victory over California in the 2011 Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl and a 31-27 win against Oregon State in the 2012 Valero Alamo Bowl. Baker not only worked with Harsin the last two years at Texas, but also with current Longhorns head coach Mack Brown and Florida head coach Will Muschamp during his tenure at the school. Prior to joining the Texas staff, Baker spent the 2009 season as a wide receivers coach at Clear Springs High School in Houston, Texas, before taking over duties as linebackers coach the following spring. The Houston native was a four-year letterman and three-year starter at Tulane from 2000-04, helping lead the Green Wave to a win in the 2002 Hawaii Bowl. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Tulane in 2008. Baker is married to the former Roslyn Jones of Mandeville, La.

Louisiana Tech head coach Skip Holtz announced on Jan. 17, 2013 that Ronnie Bradford has joined the staff as defensive backs coach and special teams coordinator. In his first year in Ruston, Bradford guided talented group of cornerbacks including two – Adairius Barnes and Bryson Abraham – that recorded multiple interceptions in games during the 2013 season. Barnes led the Bulldogs with four interceptions returned for 70 yards, including a pick-six at UTSA. Year two was even more successful for Bradford and the Bulldog defense as Cornerbacks/Special Teams four players recorded multiple interceptions on five different occasions this season, a Coordinator mark that leads the nation. The Bulldogs also won the Conference USA West Division @LockDown and made an appearance in the 2014 C-USA Championship Game opposite Marshall, thanks in large part to LA Tech’s defense, which leads the nation in turnovers gained (40) with 15 fumble recoveries and 25 interceptions. Bradford helped coach three members of Conference USA’s Honorable Mention squad as Kentrell Brice, Adairius Barnes and Le’Vander Liggins all picked up individual accolades for their accomplishments on the field in 2014. Bradford was most recently the safeties coach for Memphis during the 2011 season when the Tigers registered 12 interceptions returned for 161 yards and 30 pass break-ups for a total of 42 passes defended. The Memphis defense forced and recovered 18 fumbles that season. “Ronnie Bradford brings a different dimension to our staff because of his 10 years of playing experience in the National Football League,” said Holtz. “His NFL coaching background and his experience in special teams are the things that really attracted me to him.” Prior to his short stint in Memphis, Bradford spent one season with the University of California football staff in 2010 as an administrative assistant on the defensive side of the ball. The Cal defense led the Pac-10 and ranked in the top 25 nationally in per-game averages for sacks (2.83 spg, No. 13), total defense (319.08 ypg, No. 18) and pass defense (187.00 ypg, No. 21) during his one season with the program. Cal was also second in the conference in opponents’ third down conversion percentage (34.7 percent). The team’s pass efficiency defense and scoring defense, which held opponents to 17 points or less in eight of 12 games, were both third in the Pac-10, as well as 31st and 40th nationally. “I am excited about the opportunity to join the staff at Louisiana Tech,” Bradford said. “I have watched the great platform that this program has built the last few years and I am looking forward to helping the program sustain the success it has recently had. Coach Holtz is putting together a great staff and I am really excited about working with such great kids on this team.” Before he joined the collegiate coaching ranks, Bradford was a seven-year assistant coach in the NFL. He was a defensive assistant with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2009 and prior to that he spent six years on the Denver Broncos staff, where he served in a variety of capacities both on defense and special teams. In his final year in Denver in 2008, Bradford coached the team’s defensive backs, mentoring a group that featured nine-time Pro Bowl and three-time first-team All-Pro selection cornerback Champ Bailey, and two-time Pro Bowl pick Dré Bly. He spent the 2004-06 campaigns as Denver’s special teams coach and was the club’s assistant special teams coach in 2003. Over that four-year span, the Broncos qualified for the postseason on three different occasions, including the 2005 campaign when Denver reached the AFC Championship Game. During that same four-year time frame, kicker Jason Elam ranked third in the NFL in both made field goals (107) and points scored (479). Bradford also played for 10 seasons in the NFL with Denver (1993-95), Arizona (1996), Atlanta (1997-2001) and Minnesota (2002). He was a member of the Falcons’ squad that claimed the 1998 NFC title and advanced to Super Bowl XXXIII, where he registered an interception off Broncos’ quarterback John Elway. Bradford played in 133 regular season NFL games, accumulating 523 tackles, 13 interceptions that he returned for 65 yards and one TD, 2.0 sacks (-19 yards), 70 passes defended, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Bradford was a two-year starter and four-year letterwinner in college at Colorado and was a first-team All-Big 8 selection as a senior in 1992. As a sophomore, he helped guide the Buffaloes to an appearance in the National Championship game versus Notre Dame, where he blocked a PAT attempt in the final minutes to preserve a 10-9 victory at the Orange Bowl. He graduated from Colorado in 1995. He is married to the former Trish Mortenson and the couple has three children: Tony, Kaylee and Justin.

Louisiana Tech head football coach Skip Holtz announced former Texas and Mississippi State defensive coordinator Manny Diaz has been hired in the same capacity with the Bulldogs on January 21, 2014. Despite being at LA Tech for less than a year, Diaz’ arrival in Ruston is being felt in a big way, mainly by opposing teams offenses. In 2014, the Bulldogs led the nation in turnovers gained (40) with 15 fumble recoveries and 25 interceptions, while LA Tech has also managed to force at least three turnovers in eight of the Defensive Coordinator/ 13 games played. The first-year coordinator has led the Bulldogs to nine Top 25 defensive rankings nationally in 2014, including leading the nation in turnovers Linebackers gained and interceptions. In just his first season, Diaz helped LA Tech double its @Coach_MannyDiaz win total from the previous year, as well as make the program’s first appearance in a Conference USA Championship Game on Dec. 6 opposite Marshall after clinching the C-USA West Division the week prior. Diaz helped coach seven all-conference selections for the Bulldogs on the defensive side of the ball with Xavier Woods earning first team accolades followed by Houston Bates with second team honors for Conference USA. Tony Johnson, Terrell Pinson, Kentrell Brice, Adairius Barnes and Le’Vander Liggins each earned AllC-USA Honorable Mention under Diaz’ guidance. Diaz brings an impressive resume that includes 14 years of experience and appearances in 12 bowl games. He was most recently the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Texas (2011-13), a team that showed vast improvement in run defense during his tenure. Diaz inherits a defense that was the fourth most-improved unit in the country. Overall, LA Tech ranked 63rd in the nation in total defense in 2013, allowing an average of 408.2 yards per game. In 2012, Diaz guided a defense that allowed just 212.0 passing yards per game, despite playing in a Big 12 that featured five of the nation’s top 10 passing offenses, while also leading the conference in both sacks and TFL. With the loss of both DE Jackson Jeffcoat and LB Jordan Hicks to injury, the unit steadily improved throughout the second half of the season, especially as Diaz’s young linebacking unit was able to gain experience. Safety Kenny Vaccaro earned All-America honors from Pro Football Weekly, while DE Alex Okafor was named first-team All-Big 12 and won the CFPA Elite Defensive Lineman Trophy. Both were selected in the 2013 NFL Draft with Vaccaro in the first round and Okafor in the fourth. During his first season at Texas, Diaz led the top defense in the Big 12 as the Longhorns ranked first in the conference in total defense, rushing defense and pass defense. Overall the unit ranked 11th nationally in total defense and was sixth against the run despite facing six offenses that ranked in the top 15 nationally. All 12 opponents were held to below their average total yards with eight managing more than 100 yards below the average and two over 200 yards less. Emmanuel Acho was a first team All-Big 12 selection and Keenan Robinson was a Butkus Award semifinalist. Acho and Robinson were both selected in the 2012 NFL Draft. In 2010 with Mississippi State, Diaz guided a defense that ranked 22nd in the nation in scoring defense (19.9 ppg), 17th in rushing defense (214.9 ypg) and 17th in tackles for loss (7.0 pg). That was a dramatic turnaround for MSU from the season prior to his arrival. In 2009, the defense finished 71st in scoring defense, 62nd in rushing defense and 89th in TFL. Mississippi State also finished ranked 13th in red-zone defense (.73) and 22nd in turnovers forced (28) nationally in 2010. The 2010 defense held seven opponents to 20 points or fewer, which includes only 17 points to Auburn, which had the nation’s fourth-ranked scoring offense. Mississippi State’s nine wins in 2010 were the most for the school since a 10-2 record in 1999 and was just the second winning season for the program since 2001. The Bulldogs finished ranked No. 15/17, its highest final ranking since 1999 (No. 13/12). That is the only time MSU has ranked higher than 18th in the final polls since 1981. Prior to Mississippi State, Diaz spent four seasons as defensive coordinator at MTSU. Diaz also coached linebackers for two years after mentoring the safeties during his first two years. In four years under Diaz, the Middle Tennessee defense led its conference in sacks and tackles for loss twice, and finished no lower than third in the league in either category during his tenure. In 2009, the Blue Raiders finished second nationally in tackles for loss, stopping more than eight and a half plays per game behind the line of scrimmage. Diaz’s defense also ranked sixth nationally in sacks that season, posting nearly three per game. Also in 2009, Diaz tutored defensive end Chris McCoy who was tabbed the Sun Belt Conference co-Defensive Player of the Year. Overall, Diaz’s unit produced 17 all-conference players during his time there and put up three of the top four fewest yards allowed averages at Middle Tennessee in its FBS era. Before joining Middle Tennessee, Diaz played a major role for one of the country’s top-ranked defenses by coaching safeties in 2004-05 and handling the linebackers in 2002-03 for NC State. In 2005, the Wolfpack finished eighth nationally in total defense, sixth in third-down percentage, and 12th in scoring defense en route to a 7-5 record and a shutout win over South Florida in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. Diaz spent the 2000 and 2001 seasons at NCSU as a graduate assistant working primarily with the linebackers. During that time, the Wolfpack went to two bowl games and became the first ACC team to beat FSU in Tallahassee. Diaz, whose father recently concluded his second term as mayor of the City of Miami, began his coaching career at Florida State in 1998, working alongside defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews for two seasons. During his stint, the Seminoles won a National Championship in 1999 and were runners-up in 1998. He worked at ESPN from 1995 to 1997 after earning his B.S. in communications from FSU, and in high school, he was a Miami Herald Honorable Mention All-Dade County Scholar-Athlete for football, basketball and baseball in 1991. The Miami native is married to the former Stephanie Cerow and they have three sons, Colin, Gavin, and Manny.

Okafor led the Big 12 in sacks and earned Defensive MVP honors at the Alamo Bowl, registering a dominant 4.5 sackes and six TFL before being drafted in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft by Arizona. In 2011, Okafor and Jeffcoat started all 13 games at defensive end with each ranking in the top 10 in the Big 12 in sacks and tackles for loss. Okafor was an AFCA All-American and unanimous first-team All-Big 12 selection after recording a team-high seven sacks to go with 14 TFL and 17 pressures The two ends helped the defense rank first in the Big 12 in total defense (11th NCAA), run defense (sixth NCAA), pass efficiency defense (10th NCAA) and pass defense. In 2010, senior DE Sam Acho became one of the most decorated players in UT history. Acho won the William V. Campbell Trophy, the Wuerffel Trophy and the ARA Sportsmanship Award, along with becoming UT’s seventh two-time Academic All-American, a second-team All-America selection by the WCFF, a member of the AFCA Good Works team and a Lott Trophy finalist, while recording 59 tackles, 17 TFL, nine sacks, 18 pressures, five forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries. In 2009, Giles helped mold senior DE/LB Sergio Kindle into the first player in college football history to be a finalist for both the Hendricks Award (nation’s top DE) and Butkus Award (nation’s top LB). Under Giles’ guidance, the 2008 season saw Brian Orakpo become one of the most dominant players in college football and one of the most honored in UT history. An eventual first round pick of the Washington Redskins, Orakpo became Texas’ 19th unanimous All-American and won the Nagurski Trophy (nation’s top defensive player), Lombardi Award (nation’s top lineman) and Hendricks Award (nation’s top defensive end). In 2007, Giles led a group that helped Texas rank sixth in the nation against the run (93.4 ypg). The 2006 season saw Giles’ defensive ends produce Texas’ first 10-sack season since 1998. Crowder, who earned second-team All-America honors, was a finalist for the Hendricks Award and led the team with 10.5 sacks. Robison also pitched in with 5.5 sacks and 15 pressures on his way to second-team All-Big 12 honors. Brian Orakpo added 4.5 sacks and 11 pressures. In his first season with Texas, Giles aided in the Longhorns No. 10 ranking in total defense (302.9 ypg) and a No. 8 ranking in scoring defense (16.4 ppg). Three of the defensive ends earned conference honors with Crowder and Robison being named honorable mention All-Big 12, while Orakpo earned Defensive Freshman of the Year honors. Orakpo was also named Defensive Freshman of the Year by The Sporting News. Giles spent the previous two seasons as an assistant coach at Houston, where he worked with the Cougars’ defensive line. He joined the Houston staff prior to the 2003 season after spending three seasons at SMU. Giles helped the Cougars to a 7-6 mark and a spot in the Hawaii Bowl in 2003, the first bowl appearance for UH in eight seasons. After joining the SMU staff in the spring of 2000, Giles tutored a defensive line that developed into a unit that led the Western Athletic Conference and ranked 22nd nationally in total defense (320.1 yards per game) in 2001. He was kept on by new Mustang coach Phil Bennett and remained at SMU for the 2002 season. Giles was a graduate assistant coach at Texas in 1999, where he assisted with defensive backs and helped the Longhorns earn a Big 12 South Division Championship, a spot in the Big 12 Championship game and a Cotton Bowl berth. Prior to accepting a graduate assistant position at UT, Giles coached the defensive line and served as a strength and conditioning coach at Southwest Texas State (now Texas State) in 1998. A four-year letterwinner at Texas (1987-90), Giles played defensive end and linebacker for the Atlanta Falcons and went on to play in the Canadian Football League from 1994-97 and helped the Toronto Argonauts win the Grey Cup Championship in 1996.

Texas was 10-2 and finished the year ranked 12th that year. Giles also helped the 1987 Longhorns to a No. 19 final ranking and a victory in the Bluebonnet Bowl. He led Texas in sacks in 1988 (6.5) and 1989 (7.0) and finished with 22 in his career (T-No. 10 on the UT all-time list). A semifinalist for the Outland Trophy and two-time GTE Academic All-SWC selection, his nine career fumble recoveries are tied for second on the UT all-time chart. Giles was awarded UT’s Tenacity Award twice during his collegiate career. A native of Palacios, Texas, Giles earned his Bachelor of Science degree in speech communications from Texas in 1991. Giles and his wife, Kim, have two daughters, Olivia and Kourtney.

Louisiana Tech head coach Skip Holtz announced on Dec. 24, 2012 that Jabbar Juluke has joined the football coaching staff as an assistant coach in charge of running backs. Now in his second season with the Bulldogs, Juluke helped lead Kenneth Dixon to multiple school, Conference USA and NCAA records as the junior running back became just the fourth Louisiana Tech player in school history to run for over 3,000 yards in his career. Under the direction of Juluke, Dixon surpassed Running Backs the 1,000-yard mark on the ground in 2014, making him just the third player in school history to record multiple seasons with 1,000 rushing yards. As a whole, @CoachJuluke Juluke’s tailbacks accumulated over 1,900 rushing yards and totaled 29 touchdowns in 2014. In Juluke’s first season, he helped guide Dixon to 917 rushing yards over 10 games played and over 1,900 yards among Tech’s tailbacks as a whole. Juluke came to Louisiana Tech after serving as head coach at Edna Karr High School in New Orleans the last nine years. While at Edna Karr, he compiled an 80-39 record (.672 winning percentage) capped off with a 14-0 mark and a Louisiana state championship in 2012. Over the past four years, Juluke has guided Edna Karr HS to a 49-8 mark (.860 winning percentage). “Jabbar has been a very successful high school coach in New Orleans, having played in the last three state championships,” Holtz said. “The thing that excited me the most about Jabbar when I had the opportunity to sit and talk to him was not just his X’s and O’s and his knowledge of the game but the way he relates to people. Growing up in the inner city of New Orleans and now building Edna Karr High School to what he has built it to, I think he is a tremendous addition and he gives us a great Louisiana flavor on this staff.” Juluke has guided Edna Karr to three consecutive state championship appearances along with winning seven of the past nine district championships with the other two years finishing as the district runner-up. Over his tenure, Edna Karr has signed over 70 players to collegiate football scholarships. “Growing up in New Orleans, he has been around high school football in New Orleans for a long time. He brings a vast knowledge of the area but also brings a relationship with the high school coaches in the New Orleans area,” Holtz continued. “Being the largest city in the state of Louisiana, that is definitely a place where we need to have a footprint for Louisiana Tech.” Prior to serving as head coach at Edna Karr, Juluke was the defensive coordinator for four years at Frederick Douglas High School in New Orleans and was a wide receivers coach at Brother Martin for one year before that. He got his start in coaching as a defensive backs coach and special teams coordinator at O.P. Walker High School in New Orleans where he spent one year before moving over to St. Augustine High School where he was a linebackers coach for two years. “I am extremely excited to join the Louisiana Tech staff,” Juluke said. “Coach Holtz is a very enthusiastic individual and I am looking forward to helping out the program as best I can. I am very humbled to have the opportunity to coach at the collegiate level as it has been a goal of mine for some time. I am very appreciative of the opportunity and I look forward to working very hard for the University to continue the success for this football program.” A native of south Louisiana, Juluke helped lead Southern to a Black National Championship in 1993 as a senior safety on the Jaguars and lettered in both football and basketball. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology from Southern in 1999. Juluke is married to the former Denise Smith. The couple has two children - Jahmad Juluke and Jamari Juluke while Denise has another son, Dyruius, whom Juluke is a stepfather to.

Louisiana Tech head football coach Skip Holtz announced on Jan. 16, 2013 that Tony Petersen has been named the team’s new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Now in his second season at the helm of LA Tech’s offense, the Bulldogs are among the nation’s leaders in most improved scoring in 2014 bases on points per game compared to last year. From the booth, Petersen has guided LA Tech’s offense to more fireworks and big plays this season, which has the Bulldogs Offensive Coordinator/ averaging 37.5 points per game compared to the 19.2 points Tech averaged in 2013. Quarterbacks Under the direction of Petersen, redshirt senior quarterback Cody Sokol @TonyPetersen17 has re-energized LA Tech’s offense and is currently ranked in the Top 10 in LA Tech’s single-season records for passing touchdowns (T6th-29) and passing yards (9th-3,189) enter the bowl game. Under Petersen’s guidance, Sokol was named Conference USA’s Newcomer of the Year after helping LA Tech double its win total from 2013 and win the C-USA West Division to earn a spot in the Conference USA Championship Game. A record-setting quarterback at Marshall, Petersen joined the Louisiana Tech Family after serving as the co-offensive coordinator at Marshall for three seasons in the second of two stints at his alma mater. He comes to Ruston with over 20 years coaching experience at the NCAA Division I level. “Tony comes from one of the most prolific offenses in the country this year and behind that he brings over 20 years of experience,” Holtz said. “He has had success as a coordinator in the Big Ten Conference and brings a background of wide open offenses and an exciting style of play. I am excited to have someone with such a strong background join my staff and continue the successful style of offense Louisiana Tech is nationally known for.” In his first season at Tech he inherited an offensive unit that lost eight starters to graduation with a quarterbacks group that had never taken a collegiate snap. That 2013 season saw four wins with another three games decided by 10 points or less. Petersen’s third season on Doc Holliday’s staff at Marshall proved to be his best as he mentored sophomore quarterback Rakeem Cato to an incredible 2012 campaign. The Herd’s signal-caller became the first underclassman in Conference USA history to earn its MVP honor and was the first Herd player to win the award since the school joined the league in 2005. Cato led the nation in completions/game (33.83) and passing yards/game (350.08) and finished third in TD passes (37), fourth in completion percentage (69.5) and fifth in total offense/game (352.67). He also led C-USA in pass efficiency (147.1). The Miami native’s 66.2% career completion mark (588-of-888) is currently a school record, just ahead of Herd legends Chad Pennington (65.1) and Byron Leftwich (63.4). As co-coordinator, Petersen’s offense led the league in scoring offense, passing offense, total offense, pass efficiency, third down conversions and first downs. In the latter two categories, Marshall ranked second nationally. “I am really excited to join the Louisiana Tech Family,” Petersen said. “This is a great program that has done well with a wide open offense. I am excited to continue the standard that has been set and to run a system that was similar to our style of play at Marshall. I look forward to doing everything I can to keep it rolling. I know we lost some senior playmakers but we also have a lot of players ready to take their spot. My goal is to keep this offense high in the national rankings like it has been.” Prior to his second stint at Marshall, Petersen spent the 2009 season as the assistant head coach and wide receivers coach at the University of South Dakota. He spent the previous two seasons as quarterbacks coach at Iowa State University. Under Petersen, Iowa State quarterback Bret Meyer finished his Cyclone career in 2007 with school record totals for passing yards and total offense. Prior to coaching at Iowa State, Petersen coached at the University of Minnesota. Petersen served as co-offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach and eventually the passing coordinator at Minnesota. Quarterback Bryan Cupito set the new all-time leading passing mark under Petersen. In 2006, the Gophers had a 2,000-yard passer for a fifth straight year, a school record. Petersen also played a crucial role in the progress of Asad Abdul-Khaliq at Minnesota as the quarterback rewrote the Gophers’ record books. During Petersen’s eight seasons in his first stint at Marshall, the Thundering Herd qualified for the postseason eight straight times, winning national championships in 1992 and 1996 and Mid-American Conference titles in both 1997 and 1998. Peterson served as wide receivers coach in 1992 and helped in the development of future three-time Super Bowl Champion Troy Brown. Peterson served as quarterbacks coach for five of his previous eight years at MU and worked as the offensive coordinator in 1998. In that capacity, he coached future NFL quarterbacks Chad Pennington and Byron Leftwich. As a player at Marshall, Petersen was named the 1988 Southern Conference Athlete of the Year and the Southern Conference Offensive Player of the Year in 1987. A free agent signee of the Minnesota Vikings in 1989, Petersen set 16 Southern Conference single-season and career records in passing and total offense, to go along with six Marshall single-season school marks. He threw a record 35 touchdown passes in 1987. Petersen also set NCAA records for most passes in a game without an interception (68) and for most regular season games (11) with more than 200 yards passing. Petersen also played for the Thundering Herd baseball program. Petersen went to Marshall after a stellar career at Delta Community College in Stockton, Calif. He was drafted by the Kansas City Royals after his first season at Delta C.C. Petersen earned his bachelor’s degree in 1988 and master’s degree in 1995, both from Marshall. He and his wife Beth have three children: Andy, Nikki Nelson and Taylor.

One of the most prolific quarterbacks in NCAA history and one of the most decorated in Louisiana Tech history joined Skip Holtz’ staff as eight-year NFL veteran Tim Rattay beginning in 2013 coaching the outside receivers. “Tim brings a vast experience around the game of football,” Skip Holtz said. “His father was a high school coach so he grew up around the game. He was a college player and then played 10 years professionally and has had the opportunity to coach at the professional level the last few years. He is a Louisiana Tech Outside Receivers guy; this is his school, this is where he played and this is where he wanted to be. I am really excited we have the opportunity to give him the chance to get into @CoachTimRattay college coaching at his home at Louisiana Tech.” Now in his second season on staff, Rattay has helped guide LA Tech to one of the nation’s most improved offenses with an average of 37.5 points per game. Following an 8-5 season that included an appearance in the 2014 Conference USA Championship Game, LA Tech enters the bowl game as just one of a few teams to have six or more players with 20-plus receptions this season with receivers Trent Taylor and Paul Turner leading the way with 814 and 476 receiving yards this season, respectively. In a 76-31 win over Rice, the Bulldogs accomplished a feat not seen in 11 years with three different receivers registering over 100 yards receiving - Paul Turner (122), Trent Taylor (120) and Carlos Henderson (114). Rattay joined the LA Tech staff in 2013 after spending the past two seasons as the wide receivers coach for the United Football League’s (UFL) Las Vegas Locomotives. He is a member of the Louisiana Tech Athletics Hall of Fame as he was enshrined as part of the Class of 2007. “I am super excited to get back to Louisiana Tech,” Rattay said. “It is a place that has given me so much and it is a program on the rise. So many good things have happened to Tech in the last 10 years and there are a lot of good things still to come for Louisiana Tech Football. I am just glad to be a part of it and I want to thank Skip Holtz for the opportunity to come back home.” Rattay returns to his alma mater where he rewrote the Louisiana Tech record books while permanently etching his name in the NCAA record books during his three-year career with the Bulldogs from 1997 through 1999. Spurned by most Division I programs due to his undersized stature, Rattay possessed an uncanny ability to dissect defenses with his pin-point accuracy and exploded onto the national scene in 1997 as he passed for 358 yards and three scores in the Bulldogs 30-23 win over Bowling Green. It was just the beginning of a three-year run in Ruston that saw Rattay earn two NCAA Total Offense titles while passing for 12,746 yards and 115 touchdowns. His collegiate career ended with him owning every LA Tech passing and total offense record while ranking No. 2 in NCAA history in total offense (12,618), No. 2 in passing touchdowns and No. 2 in passing yards. While the Phoenix, Arizona native led Tech to 23 wins, including memorable victories over Alabama (twice) and California, arguably his biggest moment came when he combined with Troy Edwards to embarrass the defending national champion Nebraska Cornhusker’s defense as he passed for 590 yards and four scores in the inaugural Eddie Robinson Classic in 1998. Following his collegiate career, the All-American was selected in the seventh round of the 2000 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers where he spent eight years in the league with the 49ers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Arizona Cardinals before retiring from the NFL in 2007. During his NFL career, Rattay recorded a number of impressive performances, including breaking the 49ers single game completions record with 38 in a 31-28 win over the Arizona Cardinals in 2004 (Joe Montana held the previous mark with 37). He also became the only player in NFL history to throw three consecutive passes all going for touchdowns, a feat he accomplished while with the Cardinals in 2007. He led the Buccaneers to the franchises biggest comeback ever. Trailing eventual NFC champion Chicago by 21 points in the third quarter on Dec. 17, 2006, he tossed three fourth quarter touchdowns to send the game into overtime where the Bears eventually won 34-31. Rattay is also one of only three 7th-round or undrafted quarterback since 1995 to pass for more than 400 yards in a game, joining Matt Cassel and Tony Romo. Following the completion of his NFL career, Rattay spent two seasons playing for the UFL’s Locomotives where he served as the backup in 2010 and the starter in 2011 before suffering a seasonending injury. In 2012 Rattay spent the year as the wide receivers coach for the franchise. Rattay earned his bachelor’s degree from Louisiana Tech in 2001. He is married to the former Allison Walker, who was a Louisiana Tech volleyball player during her college days. The couple has three kids: Riley, Taylor and Sloane.

Jonathan Patke joined the LA Tech Family in 2014 after serving as a graduate assistant at the University of Incarnate Word where he coached the linebackers, special teams and assisted with strength and conditioning efforts. UIW is Patke’s first experience with the coaching side of football and he began his association with Incarnate Word in the summer of 2011 working on the offensive side of the ball. Starting in 2012, Patke was on the defensive side of the ball devoting most of his time to the defensive line. With Brian Gamble taking over the Cardinal defense the following season, Patke made the transition Graduate Assistant (Defense) to working with linebackers, which is fitting for a former collegiate linebacker. Prior to joining UIW, Patke had been employed in the oil and gas industry while living in Houston, his hometown. Patke was a four-year player and a three-year starter at Stephen F. Austin State University. He worked his way from a first-year walk on to the starting job at linebacker while at SFA.

He was struck with a season-ending injury in the first quarter of the season-opener at Tulsa, putting an early end to a second consecutive season. In 2007, Patke completed a full season as a Lumberjack, without being hampered by injury, ending his season with 40 tackles. Against North Dakota State, the eventual #1 team in the country, he had a career high 11 tackles. Graduating from Stephen F. Austin in 2008, Patke received a Bachelor of business administration with a minor in finance.

GOVERNANCE

A PROUD HISTORY

Conference USA was formed in 1995 and quickly emerged as one of the nation’s top conferences. The conference unveiled its name, logo and commissioner April 24, 1995, in Chicago. The league’s charter members included Charlotte, Cincinnati, DePaul, Houston, Louisville, Marquette, Memphis, Saint Louis, Southern Miss, Tulane, UAB and USF. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participation in 1995, while Houston joined competition in the fall of 1996. The league’s headquarters were established in Chicago and, after nine years, relocated to the current office in Irving, Texas. Britton Banowsky was named Commissioner in October 2002, succeeding Mike Slive, the league’s first commissioner. C-USA added East Carolina (September, 1996) and the United States Military Academy (March, 1997) as football members. ECU began league competition in 1997; Army in 1998 and UAB began football play in 1999. The league added TCU and ECU (1999) for all sports and they began competition in 2001. USF started C-USA football in 2003. Marshall, Rice, SMU, Tulsa, UCF and UTEP became full-time Conference USA members for all sports in 2005. In 2013, charter member Charlotte returned to C-USA and was joined by new members FIU, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana Tech, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Old Dominion and UTSA. The membership is at 14 institutions with WKU joining the league on July 1, 2014.

Oklahoma 48, Louisiana Tech 16

DA LL A S I S BU L L D OG C OU NT RY

August 30, 2014 Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, Norman, Okla.

NORMAN, Okla. - Oklahoma entered Saturday night’s game ranked as high as No. 3 and the Sooners showed why, rolling up 436 yards of offense in a 48-16 win over Louisiana Tech in front of 85,063 at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman. In his first career start, LA Tech’s Cody Sokol threw for 191 yards and two touchdowns in a 22-for-36 performance, throwing only one interception. The Bulldogs ended up winning the turnover battle as Oklahoma’s Trevor Knight was intercepted by Houston Bates while Vontarrius Dora recovered an OU fumble. The Sooners were paced by five touchdowns scored on the ground by three Oklahoma running backs while Knight was 19-for-34 for 253 yards with one touchdown pass. Kentrell Brice led the Bulldog defense with nine total tackles (six solo, three assisted) while Le’Vander Liggins added seven solo tackles. The Sooners often controlled the line of scrimmage, racking up 183 yards on the ground while a tough defense held Tech’s talented running backs to a total 54 yards on 29 attempts on the ground. Oklahoma scored on its first drive of the game but needed a 4th down conversion to keep its initial drive alive. Keith Ford ran for a 22-yard score with 10:22 left in the first quarter after Trevor Knight’s pass to Dimitri Flowers bailed the Sooners out of a 4th-and-short situation in Tech territory. On its next possession, OU drove 54 yards in five plays in a drive that was capped off by a Sterling Shepard 16-yard touchdown catch from Knight to give OU the 14-0 lead. In his first field goal attempt on the collegiate level, LA Tech’s Jonathan Barnes had a 51-yard attempt blocked by Oklahoma as the Sooners ran it back to the Tech 42-yard line. That eventually set up a five-yard touchdown run by Ford to give OU the 21-0 advantage with 33 seconds left in the first half. A Sokol interception early in the second quarter gave Oklahoma the ball at midfield and the Sooners would drive to the Tech 22-yard line but a big hit by Xavier Woods at the line of scrimmage followed by an incomplete pass by Knight would force Oklahoma’s Michael Hunnicutt to kick a 39-yard field goal for the 24-0 Sooner lead. Near the end of the half, Oklahoma would drive down again and score, this time the touchdown coming off of a one-yard run by Alex Ross. Tech would finally get on the board with eight seconds left as Jonathan Barnes connected on a 36-yard field goal. Oklahoma struck quickly in the second half as Alex Ross scored on an eight-yard run. The Sooners reached the end zone in only 1:29, driving 75 yards in five plays. Tech’s defense had held OU to 4th-and-long with the Sooners set to punt but an illegal substitution flag on the Bulldogs gave OU 4th-and-3 instead of 4th-and-8. The short distance prompted Oklahoma to pull its punter off the field and the Sooners converted the fourth down. The Bulldogs would still hold OU to a field goal as Hunnicutt connected on a 37-yard kick, giving the Sooners the 41-3 lead. LA Tech mounted a nine-play, 59-yard drive in a four-plus minute time span that straddled the third and fourth quarters with Kenneth Dixon breaking a tackle and back flipping into the end zone for a touchdown with 14:49 left in the game. The Sooners would respond with Ross running the kickoff back 80 yards to set up the seven-yard touchdown run by Samaje Perine three plays later as OU extended its lead to 48-10. The Bulldogs added one more score as Trent Taylor caught a diving 22-yard touchdown pass from Sokol with less than a minute to go in the game while Oklahoma blocked Jonathan Barnes’ extra point attempt.

LAFAYETTE, La. - For Louisiana Tech, it was just another Louisiana Saturday Night. LA Tech (1-1) racked up 533 yards of offense and never trailed while Kenneth Dixon set a new Tech and Conference USA record for the longest rush as the Bulldogs ran by in-state rival Louisiana-Lafayette (1-1), 48-20, Saturday night in front of 25,607 fans at Cajun Field. The win extended Tech’s winning streak over ULL to seven games, the longest by either side in an in-state rivalry that dates back to 1910. Tech now leads the overall series, 47-33-6, in Louisiana’s second-longest standing rivalry among in-state teams. Dixon’s 99-yard touchdown run marked the first score in the game and the longest rush by any Louisiana Tech or Conference USA player in history. The junior running back would run for 184 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Cody Sokol was impressive behind center, passing for 295 yards and two touchdowns in a 22-for-33 performance. Overall, Louisiana Tech forced three turnovers with a pick-six by Xavier Woods and fumble recoveries by Le’Vander Liggins and Lloyd Grogan. C.J. Cleveland led the Bulldogs defensively with 14 total tackles, 10 unassisted and four assisted, while Bryson Abraham and Woods each had six total tackles to help lead LA Tech to a victory. With just over four minutes remaining in the first quarter, ULL pinned LA Tech deep on a punt, downing the ball on Tech’s one-yard line, but on the first play of the drive Dixon took the ball and raced 99 yards untouched to give the Bulldogs the 7-0 lead. Dixon’s run set a new school and Conference USA record for the longest rush. UL-Lafayette responded on its next drive as Alonzo Harris punched in the tying touchdown from six yards out on the first play of the second quarter. After trading possessions, Louisiana Tech’s Tony Johnson forced a turnover on downs as ULL attempted a 4th-and-1 conversion on LA Tech’s 39-yard line. Following that stop, the Bulldogs drove down the field for a score capped off by Hunter Lee’s 16-yard touchdown catch from Sokol as the Bulldogs took a 14-7 lead with 4:33 left in the first half. Lee was responsible for 45 yards receiving on four catches in that nine-play, 61-yard drive. The Bulldogs would add to their lead in the first half as Jonathan Barnes kicked a 28yard field goal with 10 seconds remaining in the second quarter giving Tech the 17-7 lead, the Bulldogs first halftime lead since a 36-13 win over Southern Miss in the Rivalry in Dixie last year in Ruston. On the second play from scrimmage in the second half, Sokol connected with Sterling Griffin for a 78-yard touchdown pass - a career-long mark for both players - as Tech took the 24-7 lead just 49 seconds into the half. Louisiana-Lafayette was mounting a drive in the third quarter before Woods picked off Terrance Broadway and ran it back 46 yards for a touchdown with 3:45 left in the third quarter. Dixon would not be done for the night as he would run for a touchdown from 32 yards out with 13:32 left in the game, giving the Bulldogs a 38-7 lead. After Grogan forced and recovered a fumble, the Bulldogs were set up for Barnes to kick a 42-yard field goal with 11:03 left in the game, edging Tech’s lead out to 41-7. ULL would finally strike back in the fourth quarter as Broadway found Effrem Reed for a 20-yard touchdown pass to cut LA Tech’s lead to 41-14 with 9:34 remaining in the game. Louisiana Tech continued to tack on points later in the fourth as the Bulldogs put together an 11-play, 75-yard drive, which resulted in a two-yard rushing touchdown by Jarred Craft to make it 48-14 in favor of LA Tech. The Ragin’ Cajuns completed the scoring for the night as ULL’s Brooks Haack connected with Gabe Fuselier for a four-yard touchdown as time expired to make it a 48-20 final score.

September 11, 2014 Apogee Stadium, Denton, Texas

DENTON, Texas - Cody Sokol threw five touchdown passes and Louisiana Tech’s offense came alive again as the Bulldogs showed their road grit for the second time in five days by rolling over North Texas, 42-21, in front of 16,998 at Apogee Stadium in Denton Thursday night. Sokol connected with eight different Bulldog receivers to claim the first Conference USA victory of the season as the senior was 20-for-31 on the night with 243 yards and five touchdowns, including two touchdown passes to Paul Turner, as LA Tech (2-1, 1-0 C-USA) never trailed North Texas (1-2, 0-1 C-USA) in the game. Sokol is the first LA Tech quarterback to throw for five touchdowns since Colby Cameron did so on Oct. 13, 2012 versus Texas A&M. “Offensively, we got off to a slow start, but Cody Sokol settled down after he got hit a couple time and came out here and played well,” head coach Skip Holtz said. “There are some guys that are making some plays on the perimeter and obviously there are some things we have to get better at as well, so we are still a work in progress. We have to continue to develop depth because it is a long season.” Turner ended the night with three receptions for 34 yards and two touchdown receptions, while Trent Taylor reeled in five receptions for 54 yards and a touchdown. In Carlos Henderson’s first action of the season, the wide receiver caught a team-high six passes for 40 yards. Hunter Lee also reached the end zone with three catches for 52 yards and a score. Kenneth Dixon ran the ball 19 times, good for 75 yards and a touchdown, which helped the tailback move up to ninth place all-time in LA Tech history with 222 career points. Dixon also cracked the top 10 in career rushing yards in school history, ranking 10th with a total of 2,412 career yards. On the defensive side of the ball, Nick Thomason led the Bulldogs with seven total tackles as LA Tech held North Texas to just two total yards of offense in the first quarter. Tech also held North Texas scoreless in the first half for the first time since the 2012 season. “We are pretty physical on defense and we can do a lot of things,” Holtz said of what he learned from his team tonight. “Right now, I think we can do a lot of things. The defense is playing with some energy and some pride. There is a lot that goes into this defense. I have been going up against it for 30 days and I still can’t figure it out.” Both teams were held scoreless in the first quarter before the Bulldogs would mount a 10-play, 60-yard drive on their first possession in the second frame as Josh Gaston caught his first collegiate pass - which just happened to be for a touchdown - on a four-yard gain in the red zone as Tech took the 7-0 lead. After holding North Texas to a three-and-out, Louisiana Tech quickly drove back down the field going 67 yards in four plays as Sokol found Hunter Lee for a 28-yard score. After another Mean Green three-and-out, Louisiana Tech went up 21-0 behind a 53yard drive that ended with Paul Turner’s first career touchdown catch on a five-yard reception in the end zone. NT would gain its first non-penalty first down of the half on its last drive of the second quarter, but would still be forced to punt as Tech held an opponent in the first half for the first time since blanking New Mexico State in the first half in 2012. Tech’s defense set up Dixon’s 37th career touchdown as Terrell Pinson forced and ran back a fumble to the North Texas two-yard line setting up Dixon’s run on the first and only play of the drive as the Bulldogs took the 28-0 lead. North Texas struck for the first time on its next drive as Josh Greer scored from fiveyards out with 4:15 left in the third quarter, cutting Tech’s lead to 28-7. UNT was aided by a big play on Greer’s pass to Carlos Harris, accounting for 23 of the 59 yards on the drive. Two big runs for Kenneth Dixon set up Turner’s second touchdown catch of the night as he reeled in a 21-yard pass from Sokol to give LA Tech the 35-7 advantage with 1:46 left in the third quarter. Tech recovered what is technically considered a fumble as Gerald Shouse’s punt ricocheted off a North Texas player. Beau Fitte recovered the football which set up Cody Sokol’s fifth touchdown pass of the game, this time a 12-yard strike to Trent Taylor on the first play of the drive, pushing Tech’s lead to 42-7. With under four minutes to go in regulation, North Texas running back Antoinne Jimmerson punched it in for a three-yard rushing touchdown for the Mean Green, which capped off a nine play, 71-yard scoring drive to cut LA Tech’s lead to 42-14. North Texas would reach the end zone one final time in the game as Erick Evans capitalized on a five play, 64-yard scoring drive with a nine-yard rushing touchdown with 34 seconds left to give LA Tech a 42-21 victory over the Mean Green.

DAL L A S I S BU L L D OG C OU N TRY

RUSTON, La. - Louisiana Tech committed five turnovers, including three in the fourth quarter, and Northwestern State capitalized each time, including Chris Moore’s 47-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Demons to a 30-27 upset win over the Bulldogs before 26,004 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium Saturday night. Moore’s game-winner split the uprights as Northwestern State won the 78th meeting ever between the two schools and the first in 20 years. The game-winning kick came after the Bulldogs (2-2) committed their fifth turnover of the night - and second in their final two offensive plays of the game - as Cody Sokol’s pass was tipped by Imoan Claiborne and intercepted by Adam Jones at the Tech 49 with 52 seconds to play in the game. Following the interception, NSU moved the ball down to the Tech 30 on two completions by Zach Adkins to Cody Jones, setting up the final play of the night. “We did things tonight that we haven’t done this year; the turnovers, the penalties,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “I said coming into this game it was all about us. I thought we competed; I didn’t have any issues with our effort. We simply made way too many mistakes. I give Northwestern State a lot of credit. They played extremely hard and took advantage of our mistakes.” Tech appeared poised to fight off the valiant effort by Northwestern State numerous times in the fourth quarter. Dixon’s five-yard touchdown run with 8:35 to play in the fourth quarter gave the Bulldogs a 27-17 lead, as the run capped a six play, 38-yard drive following a Kentrell Brice interception of Adkins. Northwestern State (2-2) immediately countered, driving 58 yards on 10 plays and scoring on De’Mard Llorens 14-yard run off the right side with 4:20 to play in the game. Moore’s extra point cut the Tech lead to 27-24. After NSU kicked off to the Bulldogs, LA Tech turned to the ground game and Dixon. Back-to-back runs by the junior tailback tallied nine yards and set up a third down and one play with less than three minutes to play. However, on the third down run, Dixon earned the first down but then fumbled the ball as NSU’s Marion Chapman recovered for the Demons on the Tech 35. Once again, NSU capitalized. Adkins drove the Demons down to the Tech 10 where the Bulldogs defense forced a Moore 29-yard field goal that tied the game at 27-27 with 1:05 to play, setting up the final sequence of events for the night. The game started out as many folks had predicted. Kenneth Dixon put the Bulldogs on the board early as he caught a 38-yard pass from Sokol and ran up the sideline into the end zone giving Tech the 7-0 lead. Dixon had another touchdown reception but the score was waived off as Tech was called for offensive pass interference. After being pushed back by consecutive penalties and failing to move the chains, Jonathan Barnes came on to hit a 38-yard field goal as Tech extended its lead to 10-0. With 6:15 left in the second quarter the Demons finally got on the board, intercepting Cody Sokol on the NSU 29-yard line then driving 47 yards to set up the 41-yard field goal by Chris Moore, cutting Tech’s advantage to 10-3. Penalties stalled another LA Tech drive late in the second quarter but Jonathan Barnes added to Tech’s lead as he kicked a 44-yard field goal with seven seconds left in the half, pushing Tech’s lead to 13-3. Garrett Atzenweiler would pull Northwestern State within a field goal with 4:20 left in the third quarter as he ran for a four-yard touchdown, capping off a 12-play, 54-yard drive to cut Tech’s lead to a 13-10 Bulldog advantage. The Bulldogs would respond with a 10-play, 60-yard drive capped off by a 3-yard run by Dixon to push the Bulldogs’ lead to 20-10. A muffed punt return by Trent Taylor would give the Demons the ball on the Tech 27yard line and it would take NSU only two plays to score, punching it in from 10-yards out on an Atzenweiler run to cut Tech’s lead to 20-17. Kenneth Dixon tied Arry Moody in Tech history with his 36th career rushing touchdown with 8:35 remaining in the game to push Tech’s lead back out to 10, this time scoring from 5-yards out. But that would be the last thing that would go Tech’s way. Northwestern State would respond with a touchdown off a 14-yard run by De’Mar Llorens and then a Dixon fumble would give the Demons the ball at the Tech 35-yard line. While the Bulldog defense would hold Northwestern State to a field goal to tie the game, 27-27, bad luck would still befall the Bulldogs. On the next drive, a Sokol pass would tip off the hands of Claiborne to eventually set up the winning field goal.

September 27, 2014 Jordan-Hare Stadium, Auburn, Ala.

AUBURN, Ala. - Louisiana Tech committed two costly turnovers that spotted No. 5/5 Auburn 14 points and the Bulldogs could not overcome the early miscues in a 45-17 loss at No. 5/5 Auburn Saturday afternoon in front of 87,451 at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Cody Sokol passed for 216 yards in a 20-for-35 performance with his lone interception coming off a pass tipped at the line of scrimmage by Auburn’s defensive line. Trent Taylor caught eight passes for 80 yards while Kenneth Dixon was responsible for 50 all-purpose yards with 29 rushing and 21 receiving while running for two touchdowns. LA Tech (2-3) was able to move the ball after a slow first quarter with 321 total yards on 68 plays while the Bulldogs held on to the ball for almost 32 minutes. Tony Johnson led a Tech defense that held Auburn to a 6-for-14 completion rate on third down as he tallied 10 tackles. Xavier Woods, Terrell Pinson and Kentrell Brice each added eight tackles. “I thought schematically, our defense played extremely well,” Louisiana Tech head coach Skip Holtz said. “I thought Manny Diaz had a great plan. I thought our players executed it. I thought our defense played their tails off. The same things that bit us in the toe this week is the same thing that bit us in the toe last week.” Auburn’s first score was set up courtesy of a Cody Sokol tipped pass that was intercepted by Montravius Adams and returned to the 5-yard line, setting up a five-yard touchdown run by Artis-Payne at the 8:28 mark in the first quarter. The Tech defense stood tall early in the second quarter as Auburn reached the red zone but failed to convert a first down after that, forcing the Tigers to kick a 25-yard field goal for the 10-0 lead with 11:49 remaining in the first half. Tech had a chance to pull within a touchdown with 5:48 left in the second quarter but Jonathan Barnes would miss a 37-yard field goal wide right marking Louisiana Tech’s first missed scoring opportunity in the red zone this year. Auburn’s Duke Williams made an acrobatic, one-handed catch on an 18-yard pass from Nick Marshall that was initially tipped by Tony Johnson giving the Tigers the 17-0 lead with 1:36 left in the second quarter. Louisiana Tech was driving down the field and Trent Taylor had made a first down catch but fumbled the ball away, giving Auburn the ball on Tech’s 37-yard line. The Tigers struck quick after a six-yard loss then a six-yard gain with a 37-yard touchdown pass from Nick Marshall to Quan Bray to extend the lead to 24-0 with 34 seconds remaining in the first half. The Bulldogs got the ball back with good field position as Carlos Henderson had a 27-yard kickoff return that was pushed even farther downfield due to a 15-yard personal foul called on Auburn. With five plays, LA Tech was able to drive 63 yards to set up a 25-yard field goal by Jonathan Barnes to get on the board as time in the first half expired, cutting Auburn’s lead to 24-3. Kenneth Dixon would leap over a pile for a one-yard touchdown run with 6:54 left in the third quarter to cut Auburn’s lead to 24-10 and LA Tech’s defense would hold Auburn scoreless in the third quarter - a first for the Tigers this season. Early in the fourth quarter, Quan Bray caught a 44-yard pass from Nick Marshall to push Auburn’s lead to 31-10. After the Tigers forced Tech to punt, Bray struck again with a 76-yard punt return for a touchdown. Dixon would score again, this time from nine-yards out to cut the lead to 38-17 before Auburn would drive down once again with Jeremy Johnson throwing a 15-yard touchdown pass to C.J. Uzomah giving the Tigers a 45-17 advantage. Score by Quarters Louisiana Tech Auburn

RUSTON, La. - Louisiana Tech dominated in every phase of the game for four quarters as the Bulldogs ran rough shot through UTEP, 55-3, Saturday night before 18,157 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium. The 52-point margin of victory was the largest by a Tech team since a 63-10 win over Mississippi Valley State in the season opener in 2000. It was also the largest margin of victory in a conference game since a 61-6 win over UL-Monroe in 1953. “This was by far our most complete game of the year,”said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. Maybe the understatement of the night. The Bulldogs defense held a Miners (2-3, 0-1 C-USA) team averaging over 30 points per game to only a field goal. UTEP running back Aaron Jones entered the game ranked seventh in the nation averaging almost 150 yards per game on the ground but managed only 63 yards on 18 carries. Tech forced five turnovers by a UTEP team that had committed only one all season. The Bulldogs also sacked quarterback Jameill Showers three times - he had only been sacked once all season. Offensively, Tech scored on nine of its first 12 possessions and outgained UTEP 443 yards to 224 - the Miners managed only 30 yards of total offense after halftime. Tech outrushed UTEP 256 to 81. Even the Bulldogs special teams were dominate, scoring a touchdown on a blocked field goal. Tech’s dominance started from the opening kickoff. Tech scored the first 28 points of the game and took a 28-3 lead into the halftime locker room. And unlike two weeks ago when the Bulldogs saw a smaller halftime lead evaporate in a loss to Northwestern State at home, this time the Bulldogs put the nails in the proverbial coffin in the third quarter. With the victory, Tech enters its bye week with a 3-3 overall record, but more importantly, with a 2-0 mark in Conference USA action. Tech sits atop the West Division standings alone as it will prepare to host UTSA Oct. 18. Louisiana Tech struck first as the Bulldogs marched 53 yards on their first possession following a UTEP punt, scoring in eight plays as Kenneth Dixon ran it in from four yards out. Six of the eight plays on the drive were rushes as the Bulldogs established the run game early. Early in the second quarter Xavier Woods picked off Jameill Showers for his third interception of the season. Only two plays later, Sokol faked a handoff to Dixon and ran around the right tackle untouched for 32 yards and a touchdown to push Tech’s lead out to 14-0. Another Woods’ interception set up another two-play scoring drive for the Bulldogs as this time Sokol connected with Carlos Henderson on a 69-yard touchdown pass to push the Bulldogs’ lead out to 21-0 with 9:39 remaining in the second quarter. Henderson ended the night with two catches for 100 yards while also adding one rush for 27 yards. Although Tech led by three touchdowns, UTEP tried to fight their way back into the game. The Miners marched 57 yards on 14 plays and appeared ready to put points on the board. However, a 28-yard field goal attempt by Jay Mattox was blocked by Lloyd Grogan and recovered by Adairius Barnes. Barnes then returned the ball 15 yards before lateraling it to Le’Vander Liggins who ran the final for 54 yards for a touchdown as Tech led 28-0 with 5:08 remaining in the quarter. UTEP was able to get on the board with 22 seconds left in the half as Mattox connected on a 36-yard field goal and the teams entered halftime with LA Tech leading, 28-3. Tech opened the second half with the football. It proceeded to take almost six minutes off the clock and added a 45-yard field goal by Jonathan Barnes to extend the Bulldogs’ lead to 31-3. The score capped a 13-play, 41-yard drive that ate 5 minutes and 53 seconds off the clock. On the ensuing possession Tech would turn another UTEP turnover into points as Tony Johnson forced and Houston Bates recovered a fumble to set up a one-play scoring drive as Sokol found Hunter Lee for a 20-yard touchdown pass, extending the Bulldog lead to 38-3. Barnes would connect on a field goal on Tech’s next drive, hitting a 39-yard kick to push Tech’s lead to 41-3. Another Miner turnover would set up a quick scoring drive for the Bulldogs as Tech pushed its lead to 48-3. Marcus Gaines made his first career catch a memorable one as he made an impressive one-handed catch in the end zone despite tight coverage for a touchdown. Tech added an 18-yard touchdown run by Jarred Craft with 3:20 to play in the game to finish the scoring. UTEP threatened to score late but as time winded off the clock Colby Brown intercepted Showers’ pass to complete the dominating performance, from start to finish. Sokol ended the night 6-of-16 for 173 yards and 3 touchdowns while Lee (3-55-1), Henderson (2-100-1) and Gaines (1-18-1) led the Tech receivers. Dixon finished with 86 yards and one score on the ground while Sokol (60 yards, 1 score) and Craft (44 yards, 1 score) helped pave the way.

Louisiana Tech 27, UTSA 20

October 18, 2014 Joe Aillet Stadium, Ruston, La.

RUSTON, La. - On a day where points were at a premium due to the stellar play of the two defenses, Louisiana Tech turned three third-quarter turnovers into 21 points as the Bulldogs held on for a 27-20 victory over UTSA 18,071 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium. With the win, Tech (4-3, 3-0 C-USA) maintains its lead in the West Division standings, heading into next weekend’s showdown at Southern Miss. Tech linebacker Terrell Pinson spearheaded the turnover barrage for the Bulldogs, returning a shotgun snap fumble two yards for a TD and then registering back-to-back interceptions which were also converted into scores. Pinson’s TD with 11:33 to play in the third quarter gave Tech (4-3, 3-0 C-USA) its first lead of the game as Jonathan Barnes point after attempt gave the Bulldogs a 13-10 advantage. On a third-down-and-12 play from the UTSA 15-yard line, freshman quarterback Austin Robinson had the shotgun snap sail through his hands. As the ball bounced towards the end zone, Pinson outraced Robinson, grabbed it on a bounce and hit paydirt. On UTSA’s ensuing possession, Pinson struck again. On a second-down-and-11 play from the Roadrunners 49-yard line, Pinson intercepted Robinson and returned it to the UTSA 40-yard line. The Bulldogs offense capitalized as Cody Sokol hit Sterling Griffin for a 19-yard TD down the middle of the field. Barnes PAT made the score 20-10 with 9:01 remaining in the third quarter. Griffin led Tech receivers with six catches for 70 yards and one score. The UTSA defense limited Sokol most of the day as the senior completed 14-of-31 passes for 157 yards and one touchdown. He was intercepted one time. Pinson recorded the turnover trifecta on the Roadrunners next possession, as Robinson’s pass sailed over the intended receiver’s hands and Pinson picked it out of the air, racing 19 yards to the UTSA 11-yard line. Tech running back Kenneth Dixon scored two plays later from three yards out as the Bulldogs led 27-10. Dixon finished the day with 121 yards and one score on 28 carries in the game. Tech scored the three touchdowns in a four-minute span. Thanks to the Tech defense, the Bulldogs offense only had to drive a total of 51 yards for the three touchdowns UTSA’s defense which only allowed 278 yards on the day continued to stand tall while the Roadrunners offense used a pair of big plays to close the gap. Late in the third quarter UTSA (2-5, 1-2 C-USA) faced a third down and 30 on their own 42 yard line, and it appeared as if the Bulldogs would force another punt. However, Robinson hit Jarveon Williams on a screen pass and Williams turned what appeared to be a five-yard gain into a 31-yard play as he reversed the field and raced to the Tech 27-yard line. The Bulldog defense eventually held as Sean Ianno booted a 27-yard field goal, cutting the deficit to 27-13 with 14:50 to play in the fourth quarter. Following a three-and-out by the Bulldog offense, UTSA marched to the Tech 35-yard line after converting a fourth-down-and-1. The Roadrunners then used some trickery as wide receiver Kam Jones caught a lateral from Robinson and then tossed it 35-yards downfield to a wide open Kenny Harrison for the score. Ianno’s PAT made it 27-20 with 11:17 to play. The Bulldogs defense stood tall on UTSA’s next possession and following a short punt from deep in its own end, Tech took over on the Roadrunner 43 with 8:09 to play. After picking up a couple of first downs, Tech’s offense eventually stalled as Jonathan Barnes came on with a chance to give Tech a double digit lead. However, Barnes’ 40-yard field goal attempt missed wide right as UTSA took over with 3:08 to play. Three first downs later, UTSA moved inside of Tech territory with a chance to tie. However, the Bulldogs defense continued to pressure Robinson, who was sacked three times on the day and who was harassed all day. On a fourth-down-and-10 play from the Tech 33, Robinson hit Josiah Monroe on a quick out. Monroe was tackled by Bryson Abraham five yards short of the first down, sealing the win for the Bulldogs and avenging last year’s 30-10 loss in San Antonio. The first two quarters saw more post-play action than in-game action. Numerous times following the completion of plays, officials were forced to separate players as multiple personal foul penalties were called. For the game Tech was penalized 10 times for 85 yards and UTSA eight times for 85 yards. UTSA built a 10-6 halftime advantage on an Ianno 23-yard field goal and a 53-yard touchdown run by Robinson on a busted play. Barnes hit field goals of 21- and 33-yards for Tech’s only points of the opening two quarters. For the game, UTSA outgained Tech 324-278. Four big plays accounted for 158 of UTSA’s total yardage as the Tech defense allowed only 166 yards on UTSA’s other 68 snaps. Freshman Russell Farris led Tech with nine tackles while Vernon Butler (8 tackles), Vontarrius Dora (7 tackles, 1 sack, 2.5 TFL) and Pinson (7 tackles, 1 FR, 2 interceptions) were also leaders on the defensive side of the football. Williams led UTSA on the ground with 10 carries 73 yards while Robinson added 49 yards and one score. Robinson completed 18-of-29 passes for 138 yards and zero touchdowns.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. - Louisiana Tech (5-3, 4-0 C-USA) defeated Southern Miss (3-5, 1-3 C-USA), 31-20, on Saturday afternoon for the Bulldogs’ first win in Hattiesburg since the 1982 season thanks to a 400-yard passing day by Cody Sokol and three total touchdowns by Kenneth Dixon. The C-USA victory also marked the first time LA Tech has recorded back-to-back wins over Southern Miss since the 1976-77 seasons. The Bulldogs defeated USM, 36-13, in Ruston last season. Sokol became the first quarterback since Colby Cameron in 2012 to pass for over 400 yards as the senior was 27-46 for 423 yards and three touchdowns, including a career-long 84-yard connection with Dixon for LA Tech’s first touchdown of the game to begin the second half. LA Tech had 453 total yards on offense in the win, as Dixon caught six passes for a career-high 124 yards and two touchdowns, as well as rushing for 41 yards and a touchdown. For the first time since 2009, LA Tech’s defense held Southern Miss to negative rushing yards as the Golden Eagles had -31 rushing yards in the game. The last time the Bulldogs did so was when they held Hawai’i to -7 yards on Sept. 30, 2009. A shanked punt by Logan McPherson gave Southern Miss a short field on USM’s second drive of the game, allowing the Golden Eagles to drive 41 yards in four plays for the first score off an 18-yard run by George Payne for a 7-0 USM lead. Early in the second quarter Louisiana Tech would drive down as close as the five-yard line but be unable to reach the end zone, prompting Kyle Fischer to kick a 23-yard field goal to cut the Southern Miss lead to 7-3. Louisiana Tech wasted no time getting on the board in the second half, scoring in less than a minute into the third quarter. Kenneth Dixon caught a short pass from Sokol, made a man miss and got help on a key Trent Taylor block to record the 84-yard touchdown reception - the longest catch of his career - to put LA Tech on top, 10-7. Midway through the third quarter, Southern Miss drove down and threatened to reach the end zone before back-to-back Tony Johnson sacks - the second of which aided by a dropped snap - forced the Golden Eagles to settle for a 44-yard field goal by Corey Acosta to tie the game, 10-10. Tech would give the ball to the reliable Dixon again with less than a minute remaining in the third quarter as he was wide open on a five-yard pass for his second receiving touchdown of the day. Southern Miss would drive down inside the 10-yard line again against LA Tech but the Bulldog defense again would stymie the Golden Eagle offense as USM would settle for a 26-yd field goal by Acosta, cutting Tech’s lead to 17-13 with 9:31 remaining. On LA Tech’s next drive, Carlos Henderson would go up in the end zone to haul in a 29-yard touchdown pass from Sokol to extend the Bulldogs’ lead to 24-13. LA Tech ended its scoring for the day with a five-play, 37 yard drive that resulted in a one-yard touchdown run by Kenneth Dixon for his third total touchdown of the afternoon to give the Bulldogs a 31-13 lead with just over four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Down by 18, the Golden Eagles responded by capping off a seven-play, 75 yard scoring drive with a 16-yard touchdown pass from Weeks to Michael Thomas to cut LA Tech’s lead to 31-20 with under three minutes remaining in regulation.

Louisiana Tech 59, WKU 10

November 1, 2014 Joe Aillet Stadium, Ruston, La.

RUSTON, La. - Louisiana Tech head coach Skip Holtz talked all week about a highpowered offense that puts up video game numbers playing at Joe Aillet Stadium Saturday. Little did he know, he was talking about his own team as a prolific outing by the Bulldog offense paired with a dominating performance by the defense resulted in a 59-10 rout over Western Kentucky. The win moves Louisiana Tech (6-3) to 5-0 in Conference USA play and keeps the Bulldogs atop C-USA’s West Division standings while also claiming bowl eligibility in Holtz’ second year with the program. WKU (3-5, 1-4) had entered the game ranked fifth in the nation in total offense but was held to season lows in passing (145 yards), total offense (297 yards) and points scored (10). Saturday marked the first time the Hilltoppers - which ranked fourth in the nation in scoring offense entering the game - had been held scoreless in a half this season. “This was an offense that was averaging 550 yards a game, 410 yards a game passing, scoring 40 some points, 53 percent, third down,” Holtz said after the game. “The numbers are video game type numbers. We threw them out in front of our team and said, `This is the challenge we have, but they still have to play us. They put up these numbers against everybody else, but we just have to go out there and play our game.’“ Tech’s dominating defense provided constant pressure to WKU quarterback Brandon Doughty, who entered the game with having thrown only four interceptions and left having thrown four more. The defense also added eight pass break-ups and 10 tackles for a loss of 40 yards, marking the fourth straight game Tech has registered at least 10 tackles for a loss. Of his four picks, two came at the hands of Le’Vander Liggins who pitched the ball to Xavier Woods on both plays to continue the play for a total of 56 yards. “We practice it every day,” said Liggins as he explained the pitches to Woods. “We practice tip balls, pitch backs. We just have to make sure if there’s one man to beat, let’s beat him.” Adairius Barnes also posted two interceptions in the game. The Bulldogs now have five different defensive backs on roster on six different occasions that have recorded two interceptions in a single game. Meanwhile LA Tech quarterback Cody Sokol provided the offensive fireworks fans were expecting to see out of one quarterback in the game, passing for five touchdowns and 335 yards in a 30-for-42 performance. He also ran a touchdown in from three yards out. Sokol became just the fifth quarterback in Louisiana Tech history to throw five touchdown passes in a single game and did so with two others watching; Tim Rattay is an assistant coach for the Bulldogs while Luke McCown was on hand for the game and was honored on the field during the second quarter. If Sokol was on fire it was because Trent Taylor was the ignition, catching nine passes for a career-high 113 yards and three touchdowns while Paul Turner had 84 yards receiving on nine catches with a touchdown of his own. “Trent was one of those guys that got here as a true freshman and he already had it,” Holtz said of the sophomore receiver. “I mean, he got it. He came in. His competitive nature, his balance, his hands, his ability to change direction, run routes. He’s smart. He’s intelligent. He sets routes up. I mean, he’s a student of the game. I mean, he has done a great job.” Sokol’s fifth touchdown pass went to Kenneth Dixon, who registered 49 yards receiving as well as 77 yards rushing and another score. Dixon’s touchdown reception was the first of three in the third quarter for Louisiana Tech, a period the Bulldogs have dominated in having now outscored opponents 118-27 in that period this season. It wasn’t just all offense and defense for Tech as Carlos Henderson found his way to the end zone, returning a kickoff 96 yards for the score, the 10th-longest kickoff return in school history. Henderson also caught two passes for 26 yards in the game. The Bulldogs got on the board first, converting an Adairius Barnes interception into seven points as Dixon had a 48-yard score, his first rushing attempt, less than four minutes into the game. Kyle Fischer kicked a career-long 51-yard field goal nearly 10 minutes later. Doughty would find Taywan Taylor for a 46-yard touchdown pass as time expired in the first quarter but WKU allowed Henderson to take it to the house as the second quarter began. Tech would never let its lead fall below 10 points again. Score by Quarters Western Kentucky Louisiana Tech

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Cody Sokol threw for 200 yards and two touchdowns and Kenneth Dixon ran for three scores as Louisiana Tech overpowered UAB, 40-24, Saturday morning at Legion Field. The win keeps Louisiana Tech (7-3, 6-0 Conference USA) in the race for the C-USA West Division crown while UAB (5-5, 3-3) fell to 0-5 against the Bulldogs all-time. Dixon’s three touchdowns and 79 rushing yards all came within the first half before he left with an undisclosed injury, pushing the junior into fourth all-time at Louisiana Tech with 2,948 career rushing yards. Sokol was 19-for-33 for 200 yards and two scores, finding eight different receivers for a catch throughout the game. His leading target, Trent Taylor, caught eight passes for 58 yards and a touchdown. Tech’s defense, which registered at least eight tackles for a loss for the seventh consecutive game, limited UAB to 326 total offensive yards as the Blazers averaging almost 450 yards per game in league entering the game. Tony Johnson led the defense with 10 total tackles and a fumble recovery while Xavier Woods blocked a kick, had a 34-yard interception return and registered five total tackles including one for a loss. Louisiana Tech scored on all but one possession in the first half while blocking a UAB field goal and holding the Blazers to 10 points at halftime. In the second half, UAB took advantage of a couple miscues by the Bulldogs on special teams with a fumble recovery on a punt return by Trent Taylor for a touchdown and had a chance to score again after recovering a Carlos Henderson fumble on the ensuing kickoff but Tech’s Vernon Butler would recover a Jordan Howard fumble to prevent a score in the red zone. After LA Tech was forced to punt on its next possession, UAB would fumble its punt return with Johnson recovering the ball. That would set up a seven-play drive that ended with Sokol’s 10-yard touchdown pass to Taylor. A bad snap led to a failed conversion attempt as the Bulldogs led, 30-17. After a Kyle Fischer 49-yard field goal and the teams trading punts, Woods’ interception return to the UAB nine-yard line set up a Sokol touchdown pass to Henderson for the 40-24 advantage. UAB would return the next kickoff for 100 yards for the Blazers’ final score of the game.

November 22, 2014 Foreman Field, Norfolk, Va.

NORFOLK, Va. - Kenneth Dixon ran for 106 yards and a touchdown and eclipsed the 3,000 yard rushing mark in his career, but the celebrations were muted in a 30-27 overtime loss at Old Dominion’s Foreman Field on Saturday. Louisiana Tech (7-4, 6-1 C-USA) dropped its first league game of the season as it struggled to contain Old Dominion’s Taylor Heinicke in the second half and overtime as the Bulldogs could not hold on to a 24-14 halftime lead. Heinicke, one of the top quarterbacks in the country, was 29-for-40 for 302 yards and two touchdowns but also threw four interceptions on the day including two to Tech’s Adairius Barnes. Old Dominion (5-6, 3-4 C-USA) kept its slim bowl chances alive with the win and prevented LA Tech from clinching Conference USA’s West Division. The Bulldogs now face Rice next Saturday with the winner advancing to the C-USA Championship Game opposite Marshall. Dixon was Tech’s main target in overtime, gaining 17 all-purpose yards, but a pass to Paul Turner in the end zone would fall incomplete, prompting Kyle Fischer to kick a 25-yard field goal for a 27-24 Bulldog lead. ODU responded with an eight-yard touchdown pass from Heinicke to David Washington to seal the comeback victory in the first meeting between the two schools. Dixon recorded his 15th game running for over 100 yards, while Trent Taylor led the receivers with 92 yards on five catches and a touchdown. Lloyd Grogan led the defense with seven total tackles while Barnes added six with his two interceptions. Tech’s defense registered 11 tackles for a loss of 36 yards on the Monarchs while Bryson Abraham and Kentrell Brice joined Barnes for a total of four interceptions. Abraham’s interception came with under a minute remaining in the fourth quarter as ODU had the chance to get a win in regulation, but LA Tech took over on its own five-yard line. The Bulldogs held a 24-14 lead at halftime as Dixon surpassed the 3,000 career rushing mark in the second quarter as the junior broke a 7-7 tie in the second quarter with a seven-yard touchdown run to give Tech a 14-7 lead. Marlon Seets scored nearly three minutes later as Tech led 21-7 before Heinicke found Washington for a 26-yard touchdown pass to cut the Bulldog lead to 21-14. As time expired, Tech’s Kyle Fischer converted a 43-yard field goal attempt. Trent Taylor had the first score of the game with a 10-yard touchdown pass from Sokol to give LA Tech a 7-0 lead with three seconds remaining in the first quarter. Louisiana Tech held the ball for less than two minutes in the entire third quarter but the Bulldog defense never yielded, allowing only a 46-yard field goal by ODU’s Satchel Ziffer to cut the Tech lead to 24-17.

DAL L A S I S BU L L D OG C OU N TRY

RUSTON, La. - Louisiana Tech scored the most points it ever has against a conference opponent and tallied 677 total yards as the Bulldogs clinched the Conference USA West Division in a 76-31 rout over defending C-USA Champion Rice Saturday in front of 18,029 at Joe Aillet Stadium. The win secures a spot in the Conference USA Championship Game for Louisiana Tech (8-4, 7-1 C-USA) opposite Marshall (11-1, 7-1) on Dec. 6 with the game location still to be determined by the league office. The win also marked career win No. 100 for LA Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “One hundred wins is huge,” Holtz said of his milestone. “This football team is really special to me because I do not know that I have had a football team that has had to overcome so much, with the schedule, new faces, new coaches and everything to make this year work. This group of guys is really special. They will always have a special place in my heart.” The win was secured when the Bulldogs scored 41 unanswered points after Rice (7-5, 5-3) cut the Tech lead to four 36 seconds into the second half off a Mario Hull touchdown catch. Tech put away Rice during that 41-point stretch that included two fumble recoveries for scores, two rushing touchdowns and two of Cody Sokol’s four touchdown passes on the day. Sokol threw for 387 yards and four touchdowns with one interception and found three different receivers - Paul Turner (122), Trent Taylor (120) and Carlos Henderson (114) for over 100 yards each. The redshirt senior quarterback’s 29 touchdown passes this season ties Luke McCown (2001) for sixth in the school’s single season charts. Sokol completed 20 passes on 32 attempts to six different receivers and did not take a sack in the game. Of his 20 completions, five were for 35 yards or more as Tech’s offense capitalized on big plays. Kenneth Dixon ran for 137 yards and three touchdowns and surpassed the 1,000-yard rushing mark on the year. He is only the third running back in school history (Ryan Moats, Daniel Porter) to tally multiple 1,000-yard seasons in his career after running for 1,194 in 2012. “It is a good feeling, but we are just focused on the next one and that is Marshall,” said Dixon of the win and the chance to play 14 games this season, the most Louisiana Tech has ever played as a member of the Football Bowl Subdivision. “The celebration is for Coach Holtz because he is such a great coach. He got to his 100th win this week. That is a great celebration and we were also celebrating the West [Division] Conference Championship. You know we were turnt up.” Louisiana Tech’s defense forced four turnovers against a Rice team that had only committed three through seven conference games this season. Colby Brown, Le’Vander Liggins and Terrell Pinson each recorded an interception while Beau Fitte’s fumble recovery was returned for a touchdown. After scoring 20 points off of three of Rice’s four turnovers, Louisiana Tech increased its national lead with 150 points off turnovers this season. The 677 yards of total offense Louisiana Tech racked up Saturday ranks seventh in school history while the 76 points is the second-most ever scored by a Conference USA team. The Bulldogs only trailed once, 3-0, after Rice’s James Hairston hit a 35-yard field goal just over five minutes into the game but Dixon would score the first of his three rushing touchdowns on the day on the next possession and Tech would not relent the lead for the remainder of the game. LA Tech had a 21-3 lead after the first quarter behind Henderson’s 72-yard touchdown catch and Turner’s 35-yard touchdown catch. Tech would head to the locker room with a 28-17 advantage after Dixon scored again after Rice reached the end zone twice in the second quarter. Then Hull would bring the Owls within four less than a minute into the second half on a three-play, 60-yard drive before the Bulldogs offense exploded. Overall, the Bulldogs outscored Rice 48-14 in the second half. The 45-point margin marks the first time since 1910 a Louisiana Tech team has beaten three opponents by at least 45 points with all three wins this season coming against conference opponents.

Marshall 26, Louisiana Tech 23

December 6, 2014 John C. Edwards Stadium, Huntington, W. Va.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Marshall’s touchdown in the final two minutes of the Conference USA Championship propelled the Thundering Herd past the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs for a 26-23 victory. The Bulldogs (8-5, 7-1 C-USA) never trailed until Marshall quarterback Rakeem Cato connected with Deon-Tay McManus for the game-winning touchdown, a five-yard catch with 1:50 to play. The LA Tech defense forced four turnovers against the Herd (12-1, 7-1 C-USA), and running back Kenneth Dixon made the most of those on the offensive side, scoring three touchdowns, two off Herd turnovers and one following a punt block. He rushed for 156 yards on 20 carries and now ranks second in Bulldog history for career rushing yards with 3,347, just five yards shy of the school record. The Bulldogs turned early Marshall miscues into scoring opportunities, jumping out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter. LA Tech capitalized on a pair of third-down penalties for the Herd en route to a 26-yard Jonathan Barnes field goal on the Bulldogs’ opening drive. LA Tech added to its lead later in the first quarter after DeAngelo Brooks recovered the first fumble of his career. On the first play from scrimmage, Dixon sprinted 33 yards for the touchdown, adding to the Bulldogs’ nation-leading 157 points off turnovers. Marshall responded with a six-yard touchdown to McManus, cutting LA Tech’s lead to 10-7 as the second quarter began. The Herd’s second turnover on a misplayed punt paved the way for Dixon’s 30-yard dash to the endzone to make it a 17-7 LA Tech lead. The forced turnover marked the nation-leading 38th of the season for the Bulldogs, while the touchdown marked the 58th of Dixon’s career, setting a new school record. Marshall’s Justin Haig nailed a pair of field goals late in the second quarter to bring the Herd within four at halftime, trailing 17-13. Haig would add another in the Herd’s opening drive of the second half to trim the Bulldogs’ lead to one. Momentum shifted back to the Bulldogs when Paul Turner blocked a punt, leading to Dixon’s third touchdown of the game. LA Tech took a 23-16 lead after missing the extra point. The two teams traded fumbles early in the fourth quarter before Haig added his fourth field goal of the contest to make it a 23-19 game with 8:34 remaining. The Bulldogs missed a 49-yard field goal with five minutes to go before McManus’ second touchdown of the day to put Marshall on top, 26-23. Following McManus’ touchdown, the Bulldogs began the drive at their own 25, but Cody Sokol’s interception on the first play from scrimmage sealed the victory for the Herd.

2011 San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl December 21, 2011 Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego, Calif.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tech used a high-powered passing attack and a stingy defense to defeat the favored University of Louisville, 2414, in the school’s first Division I bowl game appearance. Bulldog sophomore quarterback Keith Thibodeaux was named the game’s most valuable player, completing 19 of 39 passes for 287 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The Cardinals looked to take control of the game early when safety Kevin Miller returned a Bulldog punt 60 yards for the game’s first touchdown less than two minutes into the contest. However, that was the end of the road for Louisville as Thibodeaux proceeded to pick apart the Cardinal secondary. The Opelousas native drove the Bulldogs 68 yards to paydirt, tying the score. Running back Charlie Lewis capped the drive, punching it in from one yard out. Later in the first quarter Thibodeaux hooked up with receiver George Pree for a 41-yard scoring strike to give the Bulldogs a 13-7 lead. Tech never looked back, pushing its lead to 21-7 late in the first when Thibodeaux connected with tight end Larry McCartney from eight yards out and Lewis added the two-point conversion. Tech added a 21-yard Keith Swilley field goal in the second quarter. Louisville tried to climb back into the game in the third, scoring on a 13-yard run by Miller midway through the quarter. However, that was all the Bulldogs would allow. Tech forced three fumbles, an interception and held the Cardinals to only 11 first downs. The Louisville offense could muster only 100 yards rushing and an astonishing 61 yards through the air.

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 33yard Mark Carter field goal on its second possession after Gandy threw an interception deep in Bulldog territory. Two possessions later, following a blocked punt by Montana State, the Bobcats scored the game’s first touchdown as Kelly Bradley hit Joe Bignell for a 17-yard scoring strike. Carter’s extra point was wide left, but Montana State still led 9-0. Montana State’s defense held Louisiana Tech without a first down in the opening 15 minutes of play while forcing two Bulldog turnovers.

BULLDOG HISTORY

164

The names ring like a Who’s Who in the National Football League: Terry Bradshaw, Pat Tilley, Roger Carr, Mike Barber, Fred Dean, Matt Stover, Willie Roaf, Doug Evans, Tim Rattay and Troy Edwards. They are just a few of the many great players who have donned a Louisiana Tech Bulldog uniform over the past century, and their accomplishments at Tech are even more impressive. Starting with its very first game in 1901, Louisiana Tech has become a household name in collegiate football circles. And over the years Louisiana Tech has produced numerous conference titles, numerous all-American honors, numerous professional players and two national championship titles. This year’s players and coaches should only add to an already impressive resume. Although so much emphasis is placed on the present, with 108 seasons of Tech football in the record books, it’s important to remember so many great moments, so many great players and so many great coaches that have already made Tech’s history on the gridiron successful. From the very first team to last season’s squad, Tech football can be described with three words: TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE.

1901-1909

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.

1920-1929

Record: 38-34-8 (.475) Coaches: R.F. Clark (1920-1921); William Dietz (1922-1923); Phillip Arbuckle (1924); R.C. Kenney (1925); Hugh Wilson (1926-1927); F.A. Rockwell (1928-1929) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (1925-1929)/None Six different coaches led the Bulldogs of the 1920s as Tech posted a win-

Record: 20-13-4 (.541) Coaches: Edwin Barber (1901); Frank Singleton (1902); Unknown (1903); E.G. Pierce (1904); J.Y. Bragg (1905); Z.T. Young (1906); George Watkins (1907); A.L. Cornell (1908); Percy Prince (1909) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: N/A 1901: First Recorded Intercollegiate Football Game Louisiana Tech intercollegiate football history began with that 1901 season, as Edwin Barber — the first athletic coach employed by the young university — led the Bulldogs on the playing field. And although records of some of the first years in Tech history are incomplete, Barber’s team lost the only two games for which results do exist, falling to Louisiana State 57-0 and Arkansas 16-0. However, the Tech tradition had begun. The November 1902 Industrialist, the first student publication at Tech, reported that Coach Frank Singleton led the second team to “a fairly successful season,” although the record of that Bulldog squad is not known. 1904: First Recorded Intercollegiate Football Win Coach E.G. Pierce led the 1904 Bulldogs to the first recorded win in school history with a 6-0 victory against Louisiana State during a 1-3 season. The game not only marked the inaugural win in Tech history, but also the first shutout. Tech’s first winning season was posted in 1906 as Z.T. Young led the Bulldogs to a 2-1-3 record with wins over Ouachita Baptist and the Ruston Athletic Club. The following season, Coach George Watkins and the Bulldogs registered a 9-1 mark, which is still the most wins by a first-year head coach in Tech history. During that season, Tech outscored its opponents 248-37, with the lone setback coming against Louisiana State. It is not known where those first Bulldogs played their games, but beginning with the 1904 season, all Tech athletic events were held in an athletic park, with a grandstand, located next to Harper Hall and present-day Howard Auditorium.

1910-1919

Record: 24-22-5 (.471) Coaches: Percy Prince (1910-1915); A. Flack (1916); V.S. Pugh (1917); Percy Prince (1918-1919) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: N/A 1910: First perfect season (7-0) During this decade of Bulldog football, Prince coached Tech for seven seasons, including the school’s first perfect year in 1910 with a record of 7-0.

ning 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 Dietzled 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 multistate 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.

1930-1939

Record: 50-31-1 (.610) Coach: Joe Aillet (1940-1949) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Louisiana Collegiate Conference (1940-1947)/1941, 1945, 1947; Gulf States Conference (1948-1949)/1949 1940: Joe Aillet Era Begins It is no coincidence that the first 10 years of Joe Aillet’s tenure as football coach at Tech was one of the winningest decades percentage-wise 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).

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 UL-Lafayette 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.

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).

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.

1970-1979

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 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 AllAmerican 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.

TECH vs. THE TOP 25

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 ULLafayette, 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: 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 1993-1995. 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 wide-open 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.

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 AllWAC 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 Aillet 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, go-

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 fourth-most 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 sevenconsecutive 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 back-to-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. 2004: Tech faces Top 25 schedule; With one of the most aggressive and opportunistic defenses in the country, the Bulldogs won Conference USA’s West Division title despite being projected to finish fourth as Tech led the nation in turnovers gained (40), tied for the national lead in interceptions (25) and led the nation in points off turnovers (164), leading the team to a Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl bid opposite Illinois.

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

THE 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

@LATechFB

DAL L A S I S BU L L D OG C OU N TRY

Louisiana Tech University and President Les Guice share a rich history together that spans five decades and has produced family ties that are deeply rooted in a passion for the Bulldogs and Lady Techsters. From an architecture student stepping on the campus for the first time in 1972 to an appointment as Louisiana Tech’s 14th President in 2013, Dr. Guice has shown an unwavering commitment to leadership and service to his alma mater. One of Dr. Guice’s first achievements at Louisiana Tech was earning a bachelor of arts in architecture in 1976. Discovering a passion for engineering under the mentorship of Professor Jack Painter, Dr. Guice went on to earn a master’s degree in civil engineering from Tech in 1978. While working on his master’s degree, Dr. Guice also discovered a passion for teaching and education as a profession. Dr. Guice accepted a position as an assistant professor of civil engineering at Louisiana Tech in 1978 and was promoted to associate professor in 1981. A few short years after earning his Ph.D. in civil engineering from Texas A&M University in 1986, Dr. Guice was named the interim department head of civil engineering in Louisiana Tech’s College of Engineering in 1988 and earned the permanent department head position and full professorship in 1989. As department head, Dr. Guice initiated the formation of the Civil Engineering Advisory Board and the Civil Engineering Distinguished Alumni recognition program, both of which significantly enhanced alumni participation and significantly enhanced fund-raising for the department. Throughout the next decade, Dr. Guice would continue to distinguish himself as an academician, researcher, administrator and leader. His dedication to his students, his faculty and the university would lead to his appointment as Dean of Louisiana Tech’s College of Engineering and Science (COES) in 1999. As Dean, Dr. Guice continued to encourage and support innovations in the curricula. The College’s faculty became increasingly successful in securing external funding for the integrated curriculum which resulted in a transformative redesign of curricula throughout the College. Dr. Guice’s leadership and vision also reinvigorated the Engineering and Science Foundation to more effectively serve the needs of the College. He initiated a new integrated strategic plan, known as “COES 2010,” and capital campaign, “Tech’s BEST,” that led advancement of the college and to funding for an Eminent Scholar Chair, 15 Professorships, $500k Scholarship Fund, and several new laboratories and facilities. Dr. Guice leadership also helped to guide the Institute for Micromanufacturing (IfM) toward a focus on the emerging field of nanotechnology. With the hiring of key nanotechnology faculty in numerous disciplines, further expansion of research laboratories, establishment of an interdisciplinary engineering PhD program with a nanotechnology track, and initiation of a B.S. in Nanosystems Engineering, the IfM and COES established strong research and education nanotechnology programs that have received national recognition. In 2004, Dr. Guice’s performance and accomplishments as dean of the College of Engineering and Science led to his appointment as Louisiana Tech’s vice president for research and development. During his tenure as vice president and as executive vice president in 2012, Louisiana Tech has significantly increased patents, licenses/options, start-up companies, SBIR grants with affiliated companies, and has established strong industry partnerships for commercialization of technologies. Dr. Guice also led the establishment of Louisiana Tech’s first two technology incubators, the Rawle and Humana Enterprise Centers. With a focus on the future and a progressive vision for economic development, Dr. Guice has led the planning and development of the Louisiana Tech Enterprise Campus – a research park connecting the university and downtown Ruston. Enterprise Campus’ first building, Tech Pointe, was completed in 2012 and is now home for several companies and organizations, including an Air Force funded Cyberspace Research Laboratory. With the recent completion of Louisiana Tech’s new College of Business building and renovation to University Hall as

a home for interdisciplinary entrepreneurship and innovation activities, the first phase of Enterprise Campus is nearing completion. Dr. Guice’s reputation for exemplary leadership has not been bound by the campus or the region. Roles in statewide leadership have included election to serve as the founding Chair for the Louisiana Optical Network Initiative (LONI) Management Council, serving as Chair of the Louisiana EPSCoR Committee, and leading the development of a state-wide science and technology plan, called FIRST Louisiana. Dr. Guice currently serves as Chair of the Board of Regents Master Plan Research Advisory Council and as chair of the Louisiana Innovation Council. Among the many awards and recognitions Dr. Guice has earned during his career is the Robert E. Russ Award from the Ruston/Lincoln Parish Chamber of Commerce (2009), Outstanding Civil Engineer from the ASCE Louisiana Section (2008), Louisiana Tech University Civil Engineering Distinguished Alumnus (2007), Louisiana Engineering Society’s James M. Todd Technological Accomplishment Award (2007), Governor’s University Technology Leader of the Year Award (2006), and Louisiana Engineering Society A.B. Patterson Medal for an Engineer in Management (2004.) On December 4, 2012, during a special session of the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors, Dr. Guice was unanimously voted to serve as the 14th President of Louisiana Tech University. Dr. Guice officially took over as President on July 1, 2013. As President of Louisiana Tech, Dr. Guice is the chief executive officer of north Louisiana’s only Carnegie Foundation national research university and one of only two public universities from Louisiana recognized in the top tier of national universities in the U.S. News and World Report. Dr. Guice leads a university that most recently has been ranked #11 in the nation in a list of “Most Underrated Colleges In America” (Business Insider), #17 in the nation in a list of “Low Cost Colleges with High Starting Salaries for Graduates” (Affordable Colleges Online), and #21 in the nation for providing its graduates with the best returns on their investments (AdvisorOne.) Throughout his career, Dr. Guice has contributed to and played a central role in creating the culture and vision for the future of Louisiana Tech, and continues that commitment as President. Dr. Guice’s focus on campus-wide engagement, building and growing relationships, and leadership in forging a path toward advancement of the university’s academic and athletic programs, research and commercialization activities, and economic development efforts means that Louisiana Tech University’s best days are yet to come. Dr. Guice is a native of Monroe and grew up in Bastrop. He and his wife, Kathy, have three sons – Kyle, Chad, and Bret – and one grandson, Christopher.

TOMMY

McCLELLAND Director of Athletics

DA LL A S I S BU L L D OG C OU NT RY

@TMcClelland

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

changes in both women’s basketball and baseball. McClelland made a national splash with the hiring of Tyler Summitt to lead the tradition-rich Lady Techster basketball program. Summitt, son of legendary Tennessee Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt, is the youngest head coach of any Division I women’s basketball program. He also hired one of the rising stars in college baseball in Greg Goff, a 21year coaching veteran who recently led Campbell to its third straight 40-win season. The Camels joined LSU, Florida State, Oregon, Oregon State, Louisville, South Carolina and Rice as the only NCAA Division I baseball programs with at least 40 victories in each of the past three years. Goff led the program to this year’s NCAA Regionals. Prior to coming to Ruston, McClelland made a national name for himself after quickly elevating to the athletics director position at age 26. He earned high praise from a number of high-profile, experienced athletic administrators. “Tommy McClelland is an outstanding leader and one of the nation’s rising stars in intercollegiate athletics,” said Bubba Cunningham, athletics director at the University of North Carolina. “He has a demonstrated commitment to supporting and developing his coaches and student-athletes and has already become well-known among ADs for his leadership, vision and character. Tommy has also shown a dedication to lifelong learning and the application of his skills and talents to making his athletic programs better.” Prior to being named athletic director at McNeese State on March 19, 2008, McClelland served as interim athletic director and assistant athletic director of internal affairs at the university. In his time at McNeese, McClelland and his staff had numerous success stories when it came to increased revenue streams and the overall game-day experience in Lake Charles. He raised more than $3 million in private donations, and he was instrumental in increasing corporate sponsorships to nearly $1 million, while securing new clients and multi-year sponsorships. McClelland was also responsible for increasing football season ticket sales: the program eclipsed the 8,000 mark in 2008 with a high of 8,035 in 2009. In addition, he was instrumental in setting single-game attendance records in baseball, volleyball, softball, soccer, women’s basketball and women’s tennis. “Tommy is a rising star in the college athletics administration field and, in my view, the ideal leader to advance Louisiana Tech’s athletics program as it transitions into Conference USA,” said Ian McCaw, athletics director at Baylor University. “He possesses impeccable integrity and has an extraordinary work ethic. Moreover, his interpersonal and relational skills are outstanding and will enable him to quickly connect with Bulldog fans as well as campus and community leaders.” One of McClelland’s main goals was to improve the life of the studentathletes 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

MARY KAY

HUNGATE

Deputy Athletics Director/ Senior Woman Administrator Deputy Athletics Director and Senior Woman Administrator Mary Kay Hungate enters her 29th year as a member of the Louisiana Tech Athletics Department and has proven to be an integral part in the emergence of the University’s programs on the playing fields and in the classroom. Not only does Hungate serve as the sports administrator for softball, women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s track and field, and women’s bowling, but she is also in charge of NCAA compliance for all of the university’s 16 NCAA sanctioned programs. As one of the top two ranking administrators in the Tech Athletics Department, Hungate is part of a senior staff that was instrumental in helping the University earn an invitation to join Conference USA starting July 1, 2013. In addition, Hungate and the current senior staff have also garnered a number of national awards, including the 2010 Turnkey PRISM Award - which recognizes colleges for managerial excellence across four areas: marketing/branding; fan development; community relations; and customer/client service. The Tech athletics department also finished in the Top 10 three times in the Excellence in Management Cup, which recognizes the most efficient athletic departments in the nation. Hungate serves a vital role in the hiring of head coaches. She served as the point person in the hiring process of head women’s soccer coach Kevin Sherry. Sherry led the Lady Techster soccer team to four straight winning seasons (the first ones in program history), the program’s first ever WAC victories and its first

appearance in the WAC Tournament in 2010. She has also been involved in the hiring of a number of other highly successful coaches, including current Lady Techster basketball coach Tyler Summitt, son of legendary Tennessee coach Pat Summitt. Another of Hungate’s responsibilities includes overseeing the academic side of the Tech athletics department, another area which has improved drastically as proven by the fact LA Tech’s graduation rate continues to be one of the highest in the state (Federal Graduation Report). Louisiana Tech’s student-athletes continue to reach academic progress superlatives. For the sixth straight year the University recorded all-time highs in the most recent Federal Graduation Rate Report released by the NCAA last October. Tech’s student-athletes recorded a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 80 percent and a Federal Graduation Rate (FGR) of 59 percent, which both were improvements over last year’s numbers. Louisiana Tech’s 80 percent graduation success rate ranks as the second highest in the state among Division I football-playing public institutions, trailing only LSU (81). LA Tech’s graduation success rate is four percentage points higher than last year’s (76) and easily outdistances the state average of 66 percent among the other nine Division I football-playing public institutions in the state of Louisiana. Twelve out of 16 programs at LA Tech also saw an improvement in their single year Academic Progress Rates (APR) over the previous year’s scores, including men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s outdoor track and field, and women’s cross country. Thirteen of Tech’s athletic programs earned a single year rate above 930 for 2012-13 led by perfect 1000 scores by men’s basketball, men’s golf, women’s tennis and women’s bowling. The women’s bowling team also earned an NCAA Public Recognition Award last week after their multiyear APR (1000) ranked in the top 10 percent among all the women’s bowling programs in the nation. Hungate also plays an important role in LA Tech’s NCAA Certification process. As a member of the Steering Committee and the liaison between the athletic department and the University’s Self Study Committees, she provides the information needed for the committees to write their reports. Hungate joined the Louisiana Tech staff in 1985 as an assistant women’s basketball coach and remained in that role for five years. During that time, the Lady Techsters participated in four Final Fours and won the NCAA National Championship in 1988. In 1990, Hungate made a move out of coaching and became assistant athletics director for academics and compliance as well as senior woman administrator. One of Hungate’s early accomplishments as assistant director of athletics was the creation of the Louisiana Tech Athletic Academic Center program. Hungate has served terms on the NCAA Division I Academics/Eligibility/ Compliance Cabinet, the NCAA Division I Interpretations/Legislative Review Subcommittee, the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators Wade Trophy Selection Committee and as an NCAA Peer Reviewer. She has also served on the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Issues Committee since 2004. She served on the Western Athletic Conference Council, the Conferences’ Legislative Review Committee, the Finance Committee and the Code Book Committee. Along with Athletics Director Tommy McClelland, she represents the athletics department as an ex-officio member of the LA Tech Athletics Council. Hungate’s professional career began as Women’s Sports Coordinator and head volleyball, head basketball and head softball coach at Illinois’ Carl Sandburg Junior College. She spent four seasons at the college where she guided the basketball team to a mark of 80-22 which included an 11th place finish in the 1976 NJCAA national tournament. In 1978 Hungate took over the head coaching position at Richwoods High School in Peoria, Ill., and quickly compiled one of the top prep coaching records in the nation. During her seven seasons at Richwoods High School, Hungate’s team ran up an impressive record of 195-13, including a state-record 63 consecutive victories. Hungate was named the National Coach of the Year by USA Today in 1985. Before coming to Louisiana Tech, Hungate amassed a career coaching record of 275-35.

Conference championships in football (2007, 2009), soccer (2006, tournament; 2007, regular season), softball (2010, tournament; 2013, regular season), men’s basketball (2011, regular season), women’s basketball (2011, regular season; 2011 and 2012 tournament) and men’s cross country (2012). The women’s basketball program made its first appearances ever in the NCAA Tournament, and the men’s basketball program hosted the first round of the NIT postseason tournament (Boston College live on ESPNU). Even more impressive is the fact that while the Cowboy and Cowgirl programs were capturing titles on the fields, the University’s student-athletes were making tremendous strides in the classroom. In five of McClelland’s six years as athletics director, McNeese State led the Southland Conference in the number of student-athletes named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. In addition, McClelland guided the resurgence in APR success in Lake Charles. The number of athletic programs boasting the required APR score of 925 went from four in his first year to all 16 in his final year. The community service hours performed by the MSU student-athletes also tripled to more than 3,000 during his tenure. “Tommy has a great knowledge of college athletics and excels at helping his student-athletes balance and succeed in their commitments to academics and athletics,” said Warde Manuel, athletics director at the University of Connecticut. “Tommy has also proven his ability to work effectively with coaches and administrators to help his programs be successful.” McClelland earned his bachelor’s degree from Northwestern State in 2004 and completed his master’s degree in sports administration in 2005. He walked on with the Demons football team and eventually earned a scholarship; he also competed in the javelin for the NSU track and field team. The native of Basile, Louisiana served as a graduate assistant at Northwestern State in athletics and also worked at the Southland Conference office as an administrative intern, assisting with championship events. McClelland is also a 2012 graduate of the Executive Program of the Sports Management Institute and attended instruction at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler Business School and the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business. McClelland is married to the former Jessica Stokes of Garrison, Texas. They have two sons, Lawson (4) and Grayson (3).

WARREN

Assistant Athletics Director/ Athletic Development @Nate_Warren

Nate Warren begins his second year as the assistant athletic director for development where he oversees the fundraising efforts for the Louisiana Tech Athletic Department. Warren’s responsibilities at Louisiana Tech include identifying and securing private support with an emphasis on major gifts, cultivating and soliciting major gift societies, providing oversight for the Louisiana Tech Athletic Club, the Lettermen’s Club and the Director of LTAC. During his first year in his position, Warren teamed up with A.D. Tommy McClelland and the LA Tech Foundation to raise a record $10.9 million in total athletic gifts, nearly $6 million more than the previous year. Almost 1,300 individuals responded with financial gifts, including three separate major gifts of seven figures. A University of Tennessee and Kansas State alum, Warren came to Ruston after serving as the assistant director for development at K-State for more than two years. During Warren’s four-plus years at Kansas State which included two years as a graduate assistant, he oversaw the Ahearn Fund which experienced unprecedented growth from 5,454 members and $12.7 million in gifts to athletics when he arrived to 9,143 members and $25.8 million in gifts to athletics in fiscal year 2012. Much of the growth in the Ahearn Fund numbers was due to the increased focus on leadership annual giving of $10,000 and above, as well as increased focus in Kansas City, Kansas State’s largest alumni base. In his role as assistant director of development, he oversaw an active portfolio of over 150 Ahearn Fund members and prospects, primarily in Kansas City. In addition to his duties in Kansas City, he oversaw membership campaigns and special events, both in the Kansas City area and on campus for returning letter winners. Warren was also actively involved in fund raising for the West Stadium Center, the largest capital project in Kansas State University history both through philanthropic capital gifts and premium seat construction gifts. Some of his additional responsibilities at Kansas State included providing leadership in re-branding the Ahearn Fund across Kansas as well as nationally; fully overhauling the online signup process leading to a much more simple process for first time members to join the Ahearn Fund; helping implement and serving on the Marketing Task Force, a collaborative effort between the development and marketing departments, leading to more streamlined communications to both current and potential members; creating and running the R1SE UP member referral program, which led to over 300 new members via referrals from existing members; and soliciting and secured annual gifts from $50 to $15,000 and capital gifts up to $140,000. Warren earned his bachelor’s degree from Tennessee in sports management in 2008 while he completed his master’s degree in education administration and leadership from Kansas State in 2011.
