For the 17th straight year, the LA Tech Sports Network will team up with KXKZ-FM (107.5) Ruston as the flagship station for Tech Athletics. In addition to KXKZ, the LA Tech Sports Network will consist of KNBB-FM 97.7 (Ruston), KPCH-FM 99.3 (Ruston), WUBR-AM 910 (Baton Rouge), KRMD 1340 AM (Shreveport), KRMD 100.7 FM (Shreveport), KVCL-FM 92.1 (Winnfield), KJVC-FM 92.7 (Mansfield), KDBS-AM 1410 (Alexandria) and KTKC-FM 92.9 (Springhill).

This fall all of the Tech football broadcasts can be heard on the LA Tech Sports Network as Dave Nitz, Teddy Allen, Malcolm Butler and Bennie Thornell comprise the broadcast team. Nitz enters his 41st year of calling Bulldog football games as the legendary “Voice of the Bulldogs” has been calling games since 1974 along with Tech men’s basketball and baseball contests. Nitz, who was named the 2009 Louisiana Sportscaster of the Year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association, was also recognized in 2010 as he called his 2,000th Louisiana Tech sporting event. Allen enters his fifth season behind the mic as he will serve as the color commentator for all 12 contests. The 1982 Tech journalism graduate is a well-known, highly-read award-winning Louisiana journalist having covered local sports for Shreveport, Monroe and New Orleans dailies from 1984 until 1990. He has written columns for the News-Star and the Times for the past 23 years. Butler is in his 17th year at Louisiana Tech and this will mark his third season reporting from the sidelines at football games. The “Voice of the Lady Techsters” during basketball season, Butler finished second place (behind Nitz) in the LSWA College Radio Play-by-Play category in 2013 and in third place in 2015. He has broadcast more than 500 women’s basketball games – including 15 NCAA Tournmaent games. Thornell begins his 26th year as a member of the LA Tech Sports Network as he will serve as the statistician for the majority of Bulldog football games this year while also moving down to the sideline for a selected number of contests. A 1969 graduate of the Louisiana Tech marketing department, Thornell began his association with the LA Tech Sports Network in 1990 as the statistician before moving down to the sideline in 1996 where he has spent the majority of his time. The LA Tech Sports Network team will host a 90-minute pregame show prior to each kickoff and a 30-minute post-game show. Tech Gameday, a 90-minute pre-pregame show, will also air prior to each home contest at Joe Aillet Stadium live from Tailgate Alley.

PRESEASON HONORS

On tap this week for Louisiana Tech is the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl against Arkansas State. Of note for this week’s game, this is what is on the line if the Bulldogs win: Ź This Senior class would be the FIRST group in school history to record two bowl wins Ź This would be the fifth Bulldog team to win nine games in a season on the Division I-A/FBS level (1977, 1997, 2012, 2014) and only the fourth to do so in the last 30 years Ź This Senior class would have the most number of wins at Tech (31) on the Division I-A/FBS level and the second-most number of wins (31) since moving up to Division I overall in 1975 (includes I-AA years) Ź LA Tech would be one of only two teams in Conference USA to have won nine games in each of the last two seasons along with Marshall Ź A win would extend LA Tech’s winning streak over current Sun Belt schools to 10 consecutive wins Ź A win would mark LA Tech’s 10th win over Arkansas State in the last 11 meetings Ź A win would mark Louisiana Tech’s first program win in the city of New Orleans Ź A win would mark Conference USA’s first win in the New Orleans Bowl since 2008 (Southern Miss def. Troy, 30-27)

BRYSON ABRAHAM, CB Athlon Preseason All-Conference USA Fourth Team

NOLA MAKES EIGHT, ‘DOGS LOOK TO GO OVER .500 After accepting a bid to play in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl on Dec. 6, Louisiana Tech officially secured its eighth bowl game in the program’s Division I history. This will mark the first bowl game the Bulldogs will play east of its Ruston campus and the fifth in the school’s home state of Louisiana after four Independence Bowl appearances, but the first New Orleans Bowl appearance for the Bulldogs. Last year’s win over Illinois in the Heart of Dallas Bowl brought LA Tech up to a .500 record all-time in bowl games with a record of 3-3-1. The Bulldogs are looking for more than just another trophy this year but a chance to have a winning record in the postseason for the first time since 1977.

BULLDOGS THE HOME TEAM IN ALL EIGHT BOWL GAMES In a weird coincidence of fate, Louisiana Tech has been the home team in all seven previous bowl games with that streak continuing in 2015. The Conference USA representative to the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl - Louisiana Tech - is slated to be the home team.

BACK-TO-BACK BOWLS FOR FIRST TIME SINCE DISCO WAS KING (ON WZAZ)? By accepting a bid to play in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, Skip Holtz has guided this Bulldog program to something only achieved once before - back-to-back bowl appearances. The last (and only) time Tech was in back-to-back bowl games was in 1977 and 1978 when the Bulldogs played in a pair of Independence Bowls in Shreveport. Tech won the 1977 contest against Louisville, 24-14, then dropped the 1978 game to East Carolina, 35-13. Last season Louisiana Tech defeated Illinois, 35-18, in the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl. The Bulldogs reached bowl eligible status this year in a 42-17 win at Rice on Friday, Oct. 30. Additionally, Saturday’s bowl game also marks the 38th anniversary of Tech’s first Division I bowl game, an appearance in the Independence Bowl on Dec. 19, 1977.

BACK TO THE CRESCENT CITY The Bulldogs are back! Louisiana Tech is making its triumphant return to New Orleans - The Crescent City - with its first football game played in NOLA since 1998 when the Bulldogs face Arkansas State in the 2015 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. But with just the team’s second trip to New Orleans in 17 years the Bulldogs are looking for a better outcome. The last visit pitted LA Tech against No. 11 Tulane with the Green Wave winning, 63-30. That also marked Louisiana Tech’s only game played in the Superdome prior to this year’s bowl game.

THE BIG EASY New Orleans may be big but it is anything but easy for the Bulldogs. Saturday’s game in the New Orleans Bowl will mark Louisiana Tech’s ninth game in New Orleans and only its second since 1936 but Louisiana Tech will be looking for another program first on Saturday - a win in New Orleans. LA Tech has never won a game in The Big Easy in its 113-year history.

BULLDOGS VS. THE NATURAL STATE Entering this week’s R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl against Arkansas State, Louisiana Tech has posted a 57-33-6 record in its program history against teams from Arkansas. That includes a 25-12 record all-time against Arkansas State and a four-game winning streak against teams from Arkansas.

57-33-6

AULD LANG SYNE Loosely translated Auld Lang Syne means “times long past.” Fitting, considering it has been 17 years since Louisiana Tech last faced Arkansas State and 20 years since LA Tech and ASU last met as conference opponents. LA Tech and Arkansas State faced off for 29 consecutive seasons from 1970 through 1998 in a stretch that featured two different conference affiliations - the Bulldogs were members of the Southland Conference from 1971 to 1986 and then football-only members of the Big West Conference from 1993 to 1995. However the 2015 New Orleans Bowl will mark the first time the two teams will meet since that 1998 meeting. Over that 29 straight years the two teams faced each other Louisiana Tech recorded a 20-9 record over ASU.

DRISKEL BACK TO THE DOME While Louisiana Tech hasn’t played in the (Mercedes-Benz) Superdome since 1998, one Bulldog will be very familiar with his surroundings on Dec. 19. LA Tech quarterback Jeff Driskel, a fifth-year transfer, was the starting quarterback for the University of Florida before transferring to Louisiana Tech and guided the Gators to the 2013 Sugar Bowl, but is looking for a better outcome the second time around. Despite Florida scoring 13 unanswered points in the fourth quarter the Gators would fall short, 33-23, against Louisville. Driskel was 16-for-29 for 175 yards in that game with one touchdown pass and two interceptions. He ran for four yards on 10 attempts but that also includes three sacks for a loss of 33 yards.

‘DOGS IN DOMES Saturday’s game is far from from Louisiana Tech’s first game in a dome but it is the first time the Bulldogs will play in a dome multiple times in one season. Not only did LA Tech play at UTSA earlier this season - a game in which Jonathan Barnes kicked a gamewinning field goal with 10 seconds left - but this week’s game will mark the Bulldogs’ 11th game in a dome in program history. LA Tech is 5-5 all-time in games played indoors. This game will also mark Louisiana Tech’s second appearance in the Superdome all-time.

December, 1963 Oh what a night! Well, not in 1963 as Louisiana Tech did not play into the last month of that year but Franki Valli knows other years were a very special time for Tech as the Bulldogs have played 35 games in the month of December in program history, accumulating a 17-15-3 record. Saturday’s New Orleans Bowl will mark the team’s 36th game played in December.

KICKING INDOORS - DOES IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

1940s

During its previous 10 games played indoors, LA Tech field goal kickers have gone a combined 11-for-16 (.688) in field goal attempts. That compares with an average field goal percentage of .693 during the 24-year period (1991 - 2014) starting with the year LA Tech first played in a dome.

TONY PETERSEN NAMED BROYLES AWARD NOMINEE

1970s

The Rotary Club of Little Rock announced Wednesday that Louisiana Tech offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tony Petersen is one of 34 nominees for the Broyles Award, given annually to the nation’s top assistant coach. Petersen is the only coach from Louisiana and one of only two coaches from Conference USA up for the award. Currently in his third season with the Bulldogs, Petersen has helped guide a prolific offense to the top of Conference USA’s West Division, bowl eligibility for the second consecutive season and the best overall record (8-4) of any Football Bowl Subdivision team in the state of Louisiana. For the second consecutive season, Petersen has taken a fifth-year transfer quarterback and turned him into one of the nation’s best quarterbacks. This year it is Jeff Driskel, who joined the Louisiana Tech Family in March. It took only seven games in 2015 for Driskel to throw for more yards and more touchdowns than in any single season at Florida.

Following Louisiana Tech’s 43-14 win over Louisiana-Lafayette, the Bulldogs have now won nine straight games against current members of the Sun Belt Conference. The last time LA Tech lost to a current Sun Belt member was on Oct. 31, 2009 at Idaho, 35-34. But LA Tech’s success over the Sun Belt is not just recently achieved either. The Bulldogs have won 14 of the last 15 and 29 of the last 32 games against current Sun Belt teams and you have to go back to 1995-96 to find the last time the Bulldogs lost more than two consecutive games against current Sun Belt members. During this current nine-game winning streak over current Sun Belt members: Average margin of victory is 23.4 points. Eight of the nine wins have been by at least 13 points. LA Tech offense is averaging 45.3 points per game. LA Tech offense is averaging 537.6 total yards per game. LA Tech defense has recorded an interception in eight of the nine games. LA Tech defense is only allowing 21.9 points per game.

RATTAY FONDLY RECALLS THE RED WOLVES Louisiana Tech assistant coach Tim Rattay fondly recalls his playing days and history against the Red Wolves of Arkansas State, even if they were called the Indians at the time. As a former Louisiana Tech quarterback, Rattay faced Arkansas State twice including in the last meeting between the two teams, a 69-21 Bulldog win over ASU. Rattay isn’t the only former Bulldog great to find success against Arkansas State. Matt Dunigan, a CFL Hall of Fame QB whose son is on the 2015 Bulldog roster, went 3-1 against ASU with 645 yards passing over four years for Tech. TIM RATTAY VS.

‘DOGS WITH DEGREES Saturday, Nov. 21 marked an important day for eight members of the Louisiana Tech Football team, but for sheepskin instead of pigskin. That day was the University’s Fall Commencement date and eight Bulldogs graduated from Louisiana Tech while hitting the gridiron (the Bulldogs were in El Paso with a 17-15 win at UTEP), joining four other players that have already obtained their undergraduate degree. But the ceremoy of receiving their diploma will not be a missed opportunity as Louisiana Tech University President Dr. Les Guice hosted a special commencement ceremony on Friday, Nov. 27 so that those student-athletes and their families were able to experience the satisfaction of hard work paying off by participating in a commencement ceremony.

TRADING HELMETS AND JERSEYS FOR CAPS AND GOWNS, PIGSKIN FOR SHEEPSKIN While Fall Commencement for Louisiana Tech University may have been held on Nov. 21 when the Bulldog Football team was in El Paso, the honor of receiving a degree in person from the University President won’t be lost to LA Tech’s eight football players that graduated this fall quarter. University President Dr. Les Guice offered to host a special commencement ceremony for those eight players on Friday, Nov. 27 at the Davison Athletics Complex.

BULLDOG TRIO HEADED TO THE SENIOR BOWL Louisiana Tech matched another top program mark Tuesday as the Reese’s Senior Bowl announced that three Bulldogs -- Vernon Butler, Kenneth Dixon and Jeff Driskel -- have accepted invitations to the premier collegiate all-star game. The announcement marks just the second time in Louisiana Tech history that the Bulldogs have had three players selected for the Senior Bowl in a single year. The trio will become the 19th, 20th and 21st players to receive a Senior Bowl invitation, respectively, from Louisiana Tech. With the announcement, Louisiana Tech will now have 10 players representing the Bulldogs at the Senior Bowl since the 2010 season. The only other time Louisiana Tech had three players selected for the Senior Bowl came following the 2012 season as punter Ryan Allen, tackle Jordan Mills and wide receiver Quinton Patton played in the 2013 Senior Bowl. All three, as well as 2014 Senior Bowl invitees defensive tackle Justin Ellis and then-defensive end IK Enemkpali, are currently on NFL rosters. Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw was the first Bulldog to play in the Senior Bowl as he was invited for the 1970 allstar game along with tight end Larry Brewer.

Did you know that Kenneth Dixon’s six rushing touchdowns against North Texas on Nov. 7 should have been seven? When given the opportunity to reach the end zone one more time (and tie an NCAA single game record in the process) he told the coaches to let Blake Martin score. Martin, a redshirt senior that has battled injuries all season, reached the end zone on the play for his first touchdown of the year.

KENNETH DIXON ONE OF THREE WITH MULTIPLE 1,000-YARD RUSHING SEASONS

1,000-Yard Rushing Seasons in Tech History

Last season Kenneth Dixon became one of only three players in Louisiana Tech history to rush for 1,000 yards in multiple seasons during their Bulldog careers. Entering 2015, he has a chance to become the first player in school history to record three seasons of 1,000-plus rushing yards.

COULD BECOME THE FIRST BULLDOG WITH THREE 1,000-YARD CAMPAIGNS Kenneth Dixon has surpassed the 900-yard mark and is quickly approaching the 1,000-yard mark in rushing yardage this season. By surpassing the 1,000-yard mark his senior year Dixon will have achieved yet another first in Louisiana Tech history - the first running back in school history to run for 1,000 yards in three separate seasons. Entering this year, only nine other tailbacks in LA Tech history had run for 1,000 yards in a single year (with Dixon becoming the 10th in 2012) while two other backs in addition to Dixon have run for 1,000 yards in multiple seasons.

BOWL ELIGIBLE IN OCTOBER FOR JUST THE FOURTH TIME IN SCHOOL HISTORY With Louisiana Tech’s 42-17 win at Rice on Oct. 30, the 2015 Bulldogs became bowl eligible with the team’s sixth win. That marked just the fourth time in the program’s Division I-A/FBS history that LA Tech has reached bowl eligibility in the month of October. Only three three times prior to 2015 has a I-A/FBS Bulldog squad become bowl eligible in October: 1997 (Oct. 25), 1999 (Oct. 30) and 2012 (Oct. 20) but LA Tech did not compete in a bowl game in any of those years.

WHERE DOES THIS OFFENSE RANK IN SCHOOL HISTORY? This year’s offense may have one of the best starts in school history but how will it rank among the annals of Bulldog Football and where does it rank against final season averages? Below a chart breaks down some of the top offensive years for Louisiana Tech’s historically prolific offense.

400-PLUS YARD STREAK COMES TO AN END IN EL PASO Louisiana Tech’s offense has put up big numbers this season and the Bulldogs are doing so in a manner that is a first in program history. The 2015 season marks the first time in the 113-year history of the football program that Tech’s offense has recorded over 400 total offensive yards in 10 consecutive games. But that streak came to an end out in the West Texas town of El Paso as the Bulldogs struggled offensively but still managed a 17-15 win.

PASSING OFFENSE AMONG THE BEST IN SCHOOL HISTORY Louisiana Tech is known for great quarterbacks and potent offenses. That’s why the numbers that the 2015 Bulldogs are posting on offense - which are among the best in school history - are more impressive when compared to the program’s past than on a stand alone basis. In several offensive statistical categories the 2015 squad is close or has already reached top-10 single season performances. Category Passing Yards Passing TDs Total Yards Total Points

QUARTERBACK U. CHURNING OUT ANOTHER GRADUATE Quarterback U. - sometimes referred to as Louisiana Tech - seems to be churning out another graduate in its long line of great quarterbacks. This time it is former Florida gunslinger Jeff Driskel, who is finding renewed success - and fun - in Ruston. In Ruston, Driskel found his groove and in just one season (with one game still to go) he has thrown for more yards (3,575) and more touchdowns (24) than he did in the previous four years at Florida combined. This season through only seven games Driskel threw for more yards than in any single full season in his four years at Florida (previous season best was 1,646 in 12 games during the 2012 season at Florida) and more touchdowns in seven games than he did in any single full season with the Gators (previous season best was 12 during the 2012 season).

DRISKEL BUMPS BRADSHAW, MCCOWN Jeff Driskel has entered Louisiana Tech’s single-season top 10 charts for passing yards and in doing so, bumped out a pretty notable former Bulldog quarterback. Driskel entered the schools top 10 single season performance for passing yards during the team’s dominating 56-13 win over North Texas, taking over the 10th spot previously held by notable QB Terry Bradshaw. The Blond Bomber’s 2,890 passing ayrds in 1968 previously ranked 10th in school history. Entering this week with 3,575 passing yards this year, Driskel now has moved up to sixth and could overtake Luke McCown’s 3,665 passing yards from the 2001 season for fifth.

BECAUSE HE TAKES CARE OF THE FOOTBALL One of the major reasons LA Tech’s offense has found success is the focus of the quarterbacks. This year’s numbers marks only the fourth time since Louisiana Tech moved to Division I in 1975 that the Bulldog quarterbacks have thrown fewer than 10 interceptions in a season. Overall, the seven interceptions thrown this season by the Bulldog quarterbacks ties for the seventh-fewest in a single season. Driskel has been responsible for five interceptions while Ryan Higgins is responsible for two.

ABRAHAM FOR SIX IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE, WHO CARES IF HE’S ON DEFENSE? Louisiana Tech’s Bryson Abraham has been a frequent visitor to the end zone this season. That’s really not a surprise for a Tech player until you realize that Abraham plays on Tech’s defense, not offense. With four defensive touchdowns this season (three on interception returns, one on a fumble return), Abraham leads the nation’s individuals in defensive scoring and would rank tied for seventh among teams with four defensive touchdowns along with 12 others (Alabama, Appalachian State, Florida Atlantic, Houston, Iowa, Kent State, New Mexico State, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Syracuse, Tulsa, and Washington). Only six teams have more defensive touchdowns than Abraham including New Orleans Bowl opponent Arkansas State (8), Buffalo (7), Michigan State (5), Oklahoma State (5), Southern Cal (5) and Troy (5).

THE FUTURE IS NOW FOR FERGUSON Louisiana Tech defensive end Jaylon Ferguson has had quite the (redshirt) freshman season. Entering bowl week the St. Francisville, Louisiana native leads the #BowlDogs in both tackles for a loss and yards (14.0-64) and sacks (6.0-49) this season. Ranked 34th nationally and leading Conference USA in tackles for a loss per game (1.3), Ferguson is the only freshman in the country averaging over 1.25 TFLs per game. A big reason for that ranking is he has recorded a sack in every game he has started this season except for one. Impressive for just a freshman.

piling up a staggering 730 yards of offense in the process. Tim Rattay threw for 508 yards and seven touchdowns in a 33-for-42 performance with no interceptions. His long pass went for 78 yards to Troy Edwards for the second score of the game, a connection that would repeated early and often. Edwards finisehd the game with 13 catches for 191 yards and four touchdowns. ASU was led by Lamont Zachery’s 140 rushing yards and three touchdowns while signal-caller Cleo Lemon was 16-for-33 for 203 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions.

NATIONALLY RANKED, NO LONGER OVERLOOKED When wide receiver Trent Taylor had to make a decision on where to play college football, the decision was easy. The Shreveport, Louisiana native only had one college scholarship offer from any level - Louisiana Tech. Consider the find by Tech’s coaches a hidden gem. “We couldn’t even get Division II schools to offer Trent Taylor because of his height,” Taylor’s high school coach Byron Dawson told The Shreveport Times in November 2014. “Trent Taylor had one offer, and that was Louisiana Tech.” Entering this week’s game, the 5-foot-8 Taylor - a preseason Biletnikoff Award Watch List honoree - is ranked very high nationally in several categories. Also when breaking down Taylor’s numbers, it seems his production is even more impressive.

JONATHAN BARNES WITH THE HOT FOOT LA Tech has found consistency in its kicking game in the foot of Jonathan Barnes. In LA Tech’s 34-31 win over UTSA on Oct. 10, Barnes hit his first career game-winning field goal, a 32-yard kick with 10 seconds left in the game. That feat came a week after Barnes kicked a career-long 50-yard field goal in the second quarter of LA Tech’s blowout win over UL-Lafayette. Barnes was vital to the Bulldogs at Kansas State on Sept. 19 as his four field goals in Manhattan currently ranks third in the nation this year, second in school history and a career high. His 1.78 field goals made per game ranks seventh in the nation.

FREE FOOTBALL? NO THANKS. Overtime has not been kind to the Bulldogs. Following Louisiana Tech’s Sept. 19 triple overtime game at Kansas State, Tech is now 2-7 all-time in overtime games, 0-2 since the Bulldogs joined Conference USA in 2013. LA Tech has now lost four consecutive overtime games dating back to 2011 and is now 0-3 against Power 5 teams in overtime.

SEEING RED

Granted it is early but Louisiana Tech quarterback Jeff Driskel posted an impressive passing efficiency in his opening game a Bulldog. Driskel’s efficiency of 321.44 is currently the third-highest single game efficiency number in the nation. That number is higher than any quarterback threw in any single game last season as the 2014 NCAA single game high was 320.286 by Garrett Grayson (Colorado State) vs. Wyoming. The last FBS quarterback to post a single game efficiency that high (before this season) was Pitt’s Tyler Palko on Sept. 23, 2006 with a 320.54 efficiency wtih a 15-for-17 performance for 313 yards, 4 touchdowns and 0 interceptions against The Citadel (coincidental note: LA Tech SID Patrick Walsh was employed at The Citadel in 2006 and was at that game). There have only been 17 performances, including Driskel’s this year, with efficiency ratings over 300 since 2006.

The Sept. 26 game against FIU marked Louisiana Tech’s annual RED OUT game where the Bulldogs wear their red jerseys at home instead of their traditional home blue jerseys. Since instituting the RED OUT game promotion in 2009, Louisiana Tech has gone 4-3 in those games.

The numbers of Louisiana Tech’s secondary are notable (more on that below) but the Bulldog ball hawkers seem to have a knack for finding the ball multiple times in a single game. Louisiana Tech has three players - Bryson Abraham, Adairius Barnes and Xavier Woods - that have recorded multiple interceptions in a single game in their career. Even more impressive, Barnes has achieved this feat on three separate occassions.

The connection between LA Tech play-by-play announcer Dave Nitz and the Holtz family goes much farther back than Louisiana Tech. Several years decades ago, Nitz was the play-by-play announcer at William & Mary. During his time in Williamsburg, Va., Nitz called games when the head coach of the Tribe was Lou Holtz, the father of current Louisiana Tech head coach Skip Holtz. Nitz recently recalled a night when he and Lou drove up to Washington, D.C. from Williamsburg to see a Washington Senators game at RFK Stadium. Joining the two for the game was a seven-year old boy in the backseat named Skip.

A LONG TIME VOICE FOR THE RED AND BLUE For Louisiana Tech’s Dave Nitz the 2015 campaign will mark Nitz’s 41st consecutive season of proclaiming “Ya Gotta Love It!” during Bulldog broadcasts on the LA Tech Sports Network, a streak that is one of the longest active broadcast streaks in the nation. 1. 2. 3. 4. 6. 9.

Louisiana Tech’s Carlos Henderson is a big play threat whether he be lined up at receiver or returning kicks. One of the - if not the - fastest player in Conference USA, Henderson led the Bulldogs with an impressive 28 plays of over 20 yards last season (Trent Taylor was second on the team with 17). Of those big plays, three were longer than 65 yards (with Henderson reaching the end zone in all three plays). Henderson had one rush, two receptions and 19 kickoff returns for longer than 20 yards over the course of the 2014 season. The highlight (and longest) was a 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against WKU. He entered the year just outside of the top 10 in kickoff return yards after recording 826 return yards last year and is quickly moving up the charts. He needs only 366 return yards to break into the school’s top-five list. (See full list on P. 9)

Louisiana Tech led the nation in 2014 in interceptions, turnovers gained and passes defended. With three of the four starters returning in the secondary and two reserves with significant playing time, the 2015 defense will likely again rely on the ball hawking ability of the secondary.

Historically, Louisiana Tech has compiled a .500 or better record against eight of its 11 opponents the Bulldogs will be facing this season (with the exception of Southern, a team the Bulldogs have not faced prior to 2015) with even or winning marks against FIU, Louisiana-Lafayette, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Rice, UTEP, UTSA and Western Kentucky. Tech has compiled a 94-89-7 (.513 winning percentage) all-time record against its 11 opponents.

CHANGE HAS BEEN THE ONLY CONSTANT ON OFFENSIVE LINE Change seems to be the only constant on Louisiana Tech’s offensive line over the past few years. Each of the last three years, LA Tech’s offensive line has started at least three players in their final year of eligibility. That trend continues in 2015. The challenge in that turnover for new offensive line coach Robert McFarland is tasked with putting the best five players up front.

TWENTY-ONE THE MAGIC NUMBER Dating back to the 1998 season, history has shown that when the Louisiana Tech offense struggles the team tends to struggle. Since 1998 the Bulldogs have compiled a 5-63 record when scoring less than 21 points. Before the Bulldogs won the 2008 Independence Bowl vs. Northern Illinois 17-10, the last victory for Tech when scoring less than 21 points was in 2003 against Michigan State when the Bulldogs upset the then ranked Spartans, 20-19. Tech added a win to that tally on Sept. 4, 2010 when the Bulldogs defeated Grambling State, 20-6 but dropped a 45-20 decision at Mississippi State on Oct. 17, 2015. Then Tech edged out UTEP, 17-15, on Nov. 21, 2015.

OR IS IT 20?

2014 MARKED 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 11th (with Fresno State) among all current FBS programs - but had never reached a championship game until last season. 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. Tech fell at Marshall, 26-23, in the 2014 C-USA Championship Game.

HOLTZ THE FIRST TO TAKE TWO TO C-USA CHAMPIONSHIP GAME When Louisiana Tech faced Marshall on last season 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 CUSA Championships in 2008 and 2009, defeating Tulsa (27-24 in 2008) and Houston (38-32 in 2009) in those appearances.

NOW ABOVE .500 IN TEXAS While Louisiana Tech has posted a winning record against teams from the state of Texas, the Bulldogs went over the .500 winning percentage mark when playing in Texas with the team’s 34-31 win at UTSA and added to it with wins at Rice (42-17) and UTEP (17-15). Following that UTEP game, LA Tech is now 39-361 all-time when playing in the Lone Star State.

SUCCESS BREEDS SUCCESS

The athletic success of Louisiana Tech - both past and present - is easy to see (particularly in this release) but did you know Louisiana Tech is one of the top academic schools in the state and region?

LOUISIANA TECH’S ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT:

Ź Louisiana Tech is ranked as a Tier One National University

according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2016 Best Colleges Report. Ź Louisiana Tech is north Louisiana’s only Carnegie RU/H “High

Research” and SREB Four-Year Doctoral 2 Research University. Ź Louisiana Tech is the highest ranked university in Louisiana and

No. 13 in the nation for return on investment (ROI) for graduates (PayScale.com’s 2014-15 College Salary Report). Ź Louisiana Tech is ranked as one of the nation’s 25 Most Affordable

Colleges (for both in-state and out-of-state students) by Newsweek and The Daily Beast.

Ź completed the $22 million south end zone facility, named the Davison Athletics Complex, which is set to open in late August with the 302-seat Club Level sold out. Ź set a record 1,100 donors that donated $1,150,000 to LTAC last fiscal year while a total of $1.5 million unrestricted dollars were donated. Ź

saw a big jump in overall ticket sales for men’s and women’s basketball which increased by 73 percent and 50 percent, respectively.

Ź rolled out the blue carpet for the inaugural TECHSPY Awards held at Howard Auditorium, an ESPY-like event to help celebrate the past year’s athletic achievements.

ON THE PLAYING FIELDS:

Ź Louisiana Tech is ranked highest in Louisiana and No. 21 in the

nation for providing its graduates with the best returns on their investments (ROI) in their college educations (AdvisorOne). Ź Louisiana Tech is ranked highest in the state of Louisiana and No.

11 in the nation on list of “25 Most Underrated Colleges in America” from Business Insider. Ź Louisiana Tech is ranked No. 1 in the nation among public national

universities for least amount of student debt at graduation.

BEYOND THE HASH MARKS Success for the Bulldog Football program extends beyond the playing field and even outside the classroom. Recently, Ź LA Tech student-athletes annually volunteer more than 2,000

hours of community service each school year with all 16 Division I sanctioned programs involved in some aspect of giving back to the community. Ź At the program’s last Pigskins & Pearls Women’s Clinic and

Luncheon, over $2,100 was raised for the Boys’ & Girls’ Club of North Central Louisiana. Ź Over the summer, the losing team from the program’s annual

Spring Game hosted a charity car wash, raising several hundred dollars for the Boys’ & Girls’ Club of North Central Louisiana. Ź Tech’s football program also sponsors Bulldogs Tackling Breast

Cancer each season with a game dedicated to those who are fighting or have fought breast cancer. Special commemorative hats are sold with all proceeds going towards a local charity, Wiggin’ Out, that purchases wigs, lymphatic sleeves and prosthetic bras for those fighting cancer that cannot afford them. www.WigginOut.org

NEW N EW ORLEANS ORLEANS BOWL BOWL MEDIA MEDIA GUIDE GUIDE

SUMMA CUM LAUDE TECH

Men’s Basketball won the C-USA regular season title, the third straight league title for the program and the first outright title since 1999, and advanced to the NIT quarterfinals for a second straight year which included a victory at Texas A&M. Soccer head coach Kevin Sherry and star player Kathryn Sloan earned Louisiana Coach and Player of the Year honors in light of the team posting a 13-6-3 record and winning their first ever postseason match which advanced them to the C-USA Tournament semifinals. Baseball registered 10 more wins than the previous year under the direction of first-year head coach Greg Goff, an improvement that was the seventh most in program history, while also tying a Bulldog record with a 12-game non-conference winning streak. Golfer Victor Lange was named Conference USA’s Golfer of the Year while also earning a bid to the NCAA Regionals for a second straight year, finishing in the top 25 during the three-round event. Football won the Conference USA West Division title and accepted a bid to play in the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl where they defeated Illinois, 35-18, to post the program’s first bowl victory since 2008. Indoor track and field star Jarvis Gotch recorded the eighth longest jump in the world for the season and set the school record with a mark of 26-7.75 (8.12m) at the Vanderbilt Indoor Invitational. Outdoor track and field sprinter Charla Craddock (200m) and long jumper Jarrett Samuels received honorable mention All-America honors for their top-20 finishes at the NCAA Championships. Women’s basketball received a flood of national media coverage, including feature pieces by 60-Minute Sports, USA Today, SI.com, ESPN.com, NBC Nightly News, ESPN SportsCenter, New York Times, CNN.com, and more in Tyler Summitt’s first year as head coach. Softball head coach Mark Montgomery guided the Lady Techsters to a 31-win season, the most victories since 2008, and came three outs away from defeating WCWS participant LSU in Baton Rouge.

“It’s a privilege to welcome Coach Holtz and his family to Louisiana Tech and to the Louisiana Tech SKIP Family.” Holtz was hired following a national search led by then Louisiana Tech President-Elect Dr. Les Head Coach Guice. “Coach Holtz is a @LATechSHoltz talented coach with a solid record of success and experience,” said Guice. “He Skip Holtz is currently in his third year as the has great knowledge of the head coach at Louisiana Tech after former Louisiana game, tremendous character, exceptional leadership Tech University President Dr. Dan Reneau introduced abilities, and a professional approach that will serve former University of South Florida coach Skip Holtz as him well as head coach at Louisiana Tech. the 33rd head football coach of the Bulldogs during a Holtz has participated in 16 postseason games press conference on Friday, Dec. 14, 2012 in the Jarrell in his coaching career, including eight as a head coach Room of the Charles Wyly Athletic Center. and eight as an assistant coach.

APR of 973 in Holtz’s final year ranked 25th in FBS and 15th among public, non-military academy institutions in the FBS. Holtz went to USF after five seasons at East Carolina, where he won back-to-back Conference USA Championships in 2008 and `09 and finished with a 38-27 record. Holtz also spent five years as head coach at Connecticut, where he amassed a 34-23 record. Holtz led ECU to unprecedented heights, including four-straight winning seasons, a quartet of bowl game appearances and the back-to-back league crowns. A once-proud program, Holtz quickly revived the Pirates, which had stumbled to record just three wins in a 25-game period in the two-plus seasons prior to his arrival in 2005. He promptly instilled a sense of pride, commitment, character and discipline into a Pirate team that went on to reward its loyal and passionate fan base with the school’s first-ever run of four consecutive bowl invitations and the program’s first four-year streak of winning seasons since the 1970s. The drastic turnaround at ECU, which included a 7-6 finish in 2006, an 8-5 ledger in 2007, a 9-5 mark in 2008 and another nine-win campaign in 2009, coincided with dramatic school-record attendance increases at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. While the initial success in 2005 relied heavily on a wide-open offensive assault, it was a nononsense 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 runstopping, ball-hawking defense to lead East Carolina to its highest Conference USA win total in school history at that time. The Pirates ended up just one victory shy of earning a berth in the league championship game, despite playing one of the toughest schedules in program history, which was loaded with four Bowl Championship Series members. In addition to guiding ECU to its first postseason win since 2000 with a 41-38 victory over No. 24 Boise State in the Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl, Holtz fine-tuned the efforts of running back Chris Johnson, who was college football’s national statistical champion in allpurpose yards. Johnson also became the program’s second first-round draft choice (first since 1992) when the Tennessee Titans selected him with their initial pick in April, 2008. Johnson went on to be named the 2009 NFL Offensive Player of the Year. In 2008, Holtz earned Conference USA Coach of the Year honors, while leading the Pirates to a spot in the Conference USA Championship game. ECU defeated Tulsa to claim the program’s first conference title in 32 years, earning a bid to the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. During that season, Holtz led the Pirates to a No. 14 ranking in the polls and victories over No. 17 Virginia Tech and No. 8 West Virginia. Holtz continued his success at East Carolina in 2009, leading the Pirates to a second consecutive Conference USA Championship. They became the first team in C-USA Championship game history to post consecutive victories. Prior to his time in Greenville, Holtz spent six seasons at South Carolina. He wore several hats during his tenure with the Gamecocks, coaching the quarterbacks his first four seasons, before handling the tight ends in 2003 and then returning to guide the signal-callers in `04. He displayed his 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

(36.6 points per game). During Holtz’s two seasons as offensive coordinator at Notre Dame, the Irish offense averaged nearly 37 points per game. Holtz has also served on the coaching staffs at Florida State and Colorado State. While serving on Bobby Bowden’s FSU staff in 1987 and `88, the Seminoles rolled to a 22-2 record, captured the Sugar and Fiesta Bowl titles and earned a No. 2 and No. 3 national rank, respectively. In all, he has been involved in eight New Year’s Day bowl games during his coaching career. Prior to his stint at South Carolina, the overall record of teams he had been associated with as an assistant coach was an impressive 67-15-2.

Carolina to 17 victories in his last 23 starts, including back-to-back Outback Bowl wins over Ohio State in 2001 (24-7) and `02 (31-28). Holtz came to South Carolina after a successful five-year stint as head coach at fellow BIG EAST school, Connecticut. While at UConn, he led the Huskies to their best season in school history, up to that point, in 1998 and was recognized as one of the top young coaching talents in the country. Holtz has been credited for developing highpowered and prolific offenses throughout his coaching career. During his last season at Connecticut, he led the Huskies to a then-school-record 10 victories and an appearance in the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs. His team ranked 11th nationally in scoring offense and averaged nearly 36 points per game. 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

NEW N EW ORLEANS ORLEANS BOWL BOWL MEDIA MEDIA GUIDE GUIDE

After joining the Louisiana Tech family on Jan. 16, 2013, Tony Petersen is now in his third season with the Bulldogs as the team’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. A record-setting quarterback at Marshall, Petersen joined the Louisiana Tech TONY Family after serving as the co-offensive coordinator at Marshall for three seasons in the second of two stints at his alma mater. He came 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 Offensive Coordinator/ a coordinator in the Big Ten Conference and brings a background of wide open ofQuarterbacks fenses 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 @TonyPetersen17 is nationally known for.” In 2015, Petersen led a LA Tech offensive attack that ended the regular season ranked in the top 10 in school history in five different offensive categories, including total yards, points scored, rushing touchdowns, touchdown passes and passing yards. The Bulldogs’ offensive efforts this season led to Petersen being named a nominee for the Broyles Award, given annually to the nation’s top assistant coach. As the quarterbacks coach for the Bulldogs, Petersen helped guide senior Jeff Driskel to eight different top 25 national rankings in 2015, including total offense, passing yards and passing touchdowns. LA Tech ended the regular season ranked 16th in the NCAA in passing offense and 21st in scoring offense with 36.8 points per game, as the Bulldogs posted an 8-4 overall record and 6-2 mark in Conference USA. In 2014, Petersen guided an offense that was ranked fifth in the nation in most improved scoring offense with 37.4 points per game as LA Tech captured the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl with a 35-18 victory over Illinois at the Cotton Bowl. Under Petersen’s offensive guidance, the Bulldogs compiled a 9-5 overall record and Conference USA West Division title. Transfer quarterback Cody Sokol helped the Bulldogs become the 13th best scoring offense in the country, while Petersen helped lead the senior slinger to national rankings of 11th in passing touchdowns and 20th in passing yards. In his first season at Tech, Petersen inherited an offensive unit that lost eight starters to graduation with a quarterbacks group that had never taken a collegiate snap. That 2013 season saw four wins with another three games decided by 10 points or less. Peterson’s third season on Doc Holliday’s staff at Marshall proved to be his best as he mentored sophomore quarterback Rakeem Cato to an incredible 2012 campaign. The Herd’s signal-caller became the first underclassman in Conference USA history to earn its MVP honor and was the first Herd player to win the award since the school joined the league in 2005. Cato led the nation in completions/game (33.83) and passing yards/game (350.08) and finished third in TD passes (37), fourth in completion percentage (69.5) and fifth in total offense/game (352.67). He also led C-USA in pass efficiency (147.1). The Miami native’s 66.2% career completion mark (588-of-888) is currently a school record, just ahead of Herd legends Chad Pennington (65.1) and Byron Leftwich (63.4). As co-coordinator, Petersen’s offense led the league in scoring offense, passing offense, total offense, pass efficiency, third down conversions and first downs. In the latter two categories, Marshall ranked second nationally. “I am really excited to join the Louisiana Tech Family,” Petersen said. “This is a great program that has done well with a wide open offense. I am excited to continue the standard that has been set and to run a system that was similar to our style of play at Marshall. I look forward to doing everything I can to keep it rolling. I know we lost some senior playmakers but we also have a lot of players ready to take their spot. My goal is to keep this offense high in the national rankings like it has been.” Prior to his second stint at Marshall, Petersen spent the 2009 season as the assistant head coach and wide receivers coach at the University of South Dakota. He spent the previous two seasons as quarterbacks coach at Iowa State University. Under Petersen, Iowa State quarterback Bret Meyer finished his Cyclone career in 2007 with school record totals for passing yards and total offense. Prior to coaching at Iowa State, Petersen coached at the University of Minnesota. Petersen served as co-offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach and eventually the passing coordinator at Minnesota. Quarterback Bryan Cupito set the new all-time leading passing mark under Petersen. In 2006, the Gophers had a 2,000-yard passer for a fifth straight year, a school record. Petersen also played a crucial role in the progress of Asad Abdul-Khaliq at Minnesota as the quarterback rewrote the Gophers’ record books. During Petersen’s eight seasons in his first stint at Marshall, the Thundering g 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 eterson served as wide receivers coach in 1992 and helped in the development of future three-time Super Bowl Champion Troy Brown. Peterson served as quarterbackss 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 arterbacks Chad Pennington and Byron Leftwich. As a player at Marshall, Petersen was named the 1988 Southern Conference ce Athlete of the Year and the Southern Conference Off fensive Player of the Year in 1987. A free agent signee of the Minnesota Vikings in 1989, Petersen set 16 Southern Conference singleseason and career records in passing and total offense, to go along with six Marshall shall single-season school marks. He threw a record 35 touchdown passes in 1987. Petersen also set NCAA records for most passes in n a game without an interception (68) and for most regular season games (11) with more than 200 yards passing. Petersen also played yed for the Thundering Herd baseball program. Petersen went to Marshall after a stellar career at Delta Community Collegee 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, 95, both from Marshall.

Louisiana Tech head football coach Skip Holtz announced in early 2015 that Rick Petri has joined the staff as the team’s new defensive line coach. Petri joined the LA Tech family after holding the same position at Duke the last four years. In 2015, Petri led a LA Tech defensive line that ranked 10th in the NCAA in rushing defense and held opponents to the fewest amount of rushing yards since 2008. Rick The Bulldog defense held teams to the fewest amount of total rushes and secondfewest rushing yards allowed per game since the 1991 season. Tech’s defensive line included senior Vernon Butler, who registered 48 tackles (10 tackles for loss), three sacks, eight quarterback hurries and a fumble recovery on his way to accepting an invitation to the Reese’s Senior Bowl, the premier collegiate all-star game. Defensive Line This marks Petri’s second stint at Louisiana Tech after serving on the Bulldogs staff in 1992, the program’s fourth season in Division I-A (now FBS). That season LA @CoachPetriDL Tech opened the season with a 10-9 win at Baylor and finished the year with an undefeated record at home. “It is exciting to come back to Louisiana Tech,” Petri said. “My wife and I both have fond memories of our time here - even though a few years have passed - and it is always exciting to come back and see a place where you have been, to see how it has changed for the better and you can easily see the good things that are happening. The staff has been very welcoming and Coach Holtz is obviously one of the best in the business. I am excited to spend some time with him and learn from him because you are always learning and adding to what you do and what you believe in. It is an exciting time for both my wife and me.” Petri joins the Louisiana Tech staff after spending the last four seasons as the defensive line coach at Duke where he helped the Blue Devils to 28 wins over four seasons including the 2013 ACC Coastal Division title and three bowl game appearances. “Rick brings such a wealth of experience with a number of years coaching in the Southeastern Conference,” Holtz said of Petri’s arrival in Ruston. “He has turned out numerous players in the NFL and brings a lot of experience that will help many of our upperclassmen continue to elevate their game but, at the same time, help bring along some of our freshmen that we are going to need to contribute as we go forward. I could not be more excited about being able to make this work and have Rick join the LA Tech Family.” A college coaching veteran of over 30 seasons, Petri has made coaching stops at Ole Miss, Miami, South Carolina and Kentucky among others throughout his career. He joins a LA Tech program that is coming off an appearance in the Conference USA Championship Game and a Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl win over Illinois. In both 2012 and 2013, Duke’s defensive front that was guided by Petri was spearheaded by ends Kenny Anunike and Justin Foxx. Anunike, who led the Blue Devils in sacks in each of his final three seasons, was a two-time All-ACC pick while Foxx, who served as a captain of Duke’s ACC Coastal Division championship team in 2013, finished his 45-game career with 152 tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss and 11.5 sacks. Anunike, one of just two players in Duke history to lead the Blue Devils in sacks three consecutive seasons, went on to sign a free agent contract with the NFL’s Denver Broncos in May of 2014. In 2011, Petri mentored a youthful Blue Devil defensive front that included just one senior in nose guard Charlie Hatcher, who completed his career with a 30-tackle, two-sack campaign. Petri also tutored Anunike, who was leading the ACC in both sacks and tackles for loss through the first three weeks of the season before suffering a season-ending knee injury in Duke’s win over Tulane in late September. Petri served on Cutcliffe’s staff at Ole Miss from 1998-04, helping the Rebels to a 44-29 record and four bowl victories. In 2003, Ole Miss went 10-3, captured a share of the SEC Western Division title and defeated Oklahoma State, 31-29, in the Cotton Bowl. While with the Rebels, Petri coached the defensive tackles and tutored a pair of first team All-SEC selections in Kendrick Clancy and Jesse Mitchell. Clancy went on to be a third round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2000 NFL Draft. Petri went to Durham after spending the 2010 campaign at ACC member Miami. That year, the Hurricane defensive unit ranked among the league’s leaders in pass defense (1st), pass defense efficiency (1st), opponent third down percentage (2nd), opponent first downs (2nd) total defense (3rd), sacks (3rd), and scoring defense (5th). Under Petri’s guidance, senior Allen Bailey earned All-ACC honors after leading the Hurricanes in quarterback sacks. From 2005-09, Petri was on the staff at Kentucky where he helped the Wildcats to four consecutive bowl game appearances that included victories over Clemson (2006 Music City Bowl), Florida State (2007 Music City Bowl) and East Carolina (2009 Liberty Bowl). In Lexington, Petri coached three future draft picks in Myron Pryor (6th round, New England, 2009), Jeremy Jarmon (3rd round, Washington, 2010) and Corey Peters (3rd round, Atlanta, 2010). A native of St. Louis, Mo., Petri got his start in coaching at Pittsburg State (1977-78). He then spent 10 years on the staff at Arkansas State before a three-year (198991) stint at Ole Miss under head coach Billy Brewer (a former Louisiana Tech head coach). During his first stint in Oxford, Petri coached Kelvin Pritchett, who was a first round choice of the Dallas Cowboys in 1991 and spent 14 seasons with the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars. After one season at Louisiana Tech (1992), he enjoyed three seasons at Miami (1993-95) as the Hurricanes went 27-7, won two BIG EAST championships, finished all three seasons ranked in the Associated Press national poll and played in both the Fiesta and Orange Bowls. In addition, Petri coached three future first round NFL draft choices in Warren Sapp (Tampa Bay, 1995), Kenard Lang (Washington, 1997) and Kenny Holmes (Houston, 1997). Sapp went on to earn NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors in 1999. In 1994, the Hurricanes led the nation in both scoring defense and total defense. From 1996-98, Petri tutored the defensive ends at South Carolina where he helped develop John Abraham, a first round pick of the New York Jets in the 2000 NFL Draft and multi-year Pro Bowl honoree. Petri is a 1976 graduate of the University of Missouri-Rolla. He and his wife, Marsha, have two sons, Brad and Kory.

RATTAY

NEW N EW ORLEANS ORLEANS BOWL BOWL MEDIA MEDIA GUIDE GUIDE

One of the most prolific quarterbacks in NCAA history and one of the most decorated in Louisiana Tech history joined Skip Holtz’s staff in 2013 as eight-year NFL veteran Tim Rattay is currently in his third season coaching the outside receivers. “Tim brings a vast experience around the game of football,” Skip Holtz said. TIM “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 guy; this is his school, this is where he played and this is where he wanted to be. I am really excited Outside Receivers we have the opportunity to give him the chance to get into college coaching at his home at Louisiana Tech.” @CoachTimRattay In 2015, Rattay helped guide the Bulldogs to an 8-4 overall record and 6-2 mark in Conference USA, while LA Tech is set to appear in the team’s second straight bowl game for just the second time in program history. The Bulldogs ended the regular season ranked 16th in passing offense and 21st in scoring offense with 36.8 points per game. The 2015 LA Tech offense also ended the regular season ranked in the top 10 in school history in five different offensive categories, including total yards (4th), points scored (4th), touchdown passes (9th) and passing yards (9th). In his second season, Rattay helped lead the Bulldogs to a Conference USA West Division title and the 2014 Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl championship following a 35-18 win over Illinois at the Cotton Bowl. LA Tech ended the season 9-5 and Rattay helped the Bulldogs to a No. 13 ranking nationally in scoring offense, while Tech was also fifth in the country in most improved scoring offense with 37.4 points per game in 2014. Rattay joined the LA Tech staff after spending the prior 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 e 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 meback 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 e into overtime where the Bears eventually won 34-31. Rattay is also one of only three 7th-round or undrafted ed 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 pent two seasons playing for the UFL’s Locomotives where he served as the backup in 2010 and the starter in 2011 before suffering ring a season-ending injury. In 2012 Rattay spent the year as the wide receivers coach for the franchise. Rattay earned his bachelor’s degree from Louisiana Tech in 2001. He is married to the former Allison Walker, who was a Louisiana Tech volleyball player during her college days. The couple has three kids: Riley, Taylor and Sloane.

Safeties Scott joined the LA Tech family after spending the previous three seasons at Southeastern Louisiana where he coached the linebackers and was promoted to de@iamcoachscott fensive coordinator for the 2014 season. “Karl is a young and energetic coach with a very bright future,” Holtz said of the addition. “He has worked his way up and is a rising star in this field. We are fortunate that he chose to join us at Louisiana Tech as a position coach a year after he led his team to the top defense in their league as defensive coordinator. He has such a bright future and I am excited he is joining the LA Tech family.” Scott recently completed his third season as an assistant on the Southeastern Louisiana University staff and his first as defensive coordinator after spending the previous four seasons as an assistant at Tusculum (Tenn.) College. Prior to taking over as defensive coordinator, the Houston, Texas native coached the Lion linebackers while also serving as the team’s travel coordinator. In 2014 as defensive coordinator of Southeastern Louisiana, Scott led a unit that finished the year leading the Southland Conference in total defense while ranking seventh in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). Scott’s defense was 11th in the nation in turnovers gained (28), fifth in the nation in red zone defense (.667 percentage) and eighth in the nation in scoring defense (17.7 ppg).

Corbett and Miller were joined on the All-Southland Conference team by fellow SLU defenders Denzel Thompson, Jacob Newman, Tyler Stoddard, A.J. Bowen, Drew Misita, Jordan Batiste and Micah Eugene. Scott’s linebacker corps was a key factor in Southeastern’s 2013 Southland Conference championship campaign. Leading the way was Cqulin Hubert, who was named Southland Conference Defensive Player of the Year after posting a team-high 90 tackles (including 11 for loss) for a Lion defense that led the league in scoring defense. In addition, juniors Corbett (league-high 16 TFL, seven sacks) and Justin Church (8 TFL, five sacks) earned All-Southland Conference honors, while Misita contributed 80 tackles. Scott led an active group of linebackers in 2012 that featured one of the leading tacklers in the Southland Conference (Kaleb Muse) and one of the top pass rushers in the league (Devan Walker). Muse led Southeastern with 80 tackles on the season with Hubert (60), Walker (46) and Misita (43) among a group of eight players with 40 or more stops. Walker, who played his final season at linebacker after three seasons at defensive end, finished as the Lions’ top player in tackles for loss (12.5) and sacks (7) while garnering All-Southland Conference honors and being invited to compete in the Texas vs. Nation Collegiate All-Star Game. Before he arrived in Hammond, Scott served as recruiting coordinator, defensive backs coach and linebackers coach in his four-year stint with Tusculum, a Division II school. In five years in collegiate coaching at Tusculum and Delta State University, Scott was associated with programs that won two conference championships, made a pair of trips to the NCAA Division II Playoffs and earned two national rankings. In his first two years at Tusculum, he was responsible for the linebacker corps. Scott made an immediate impact in his first Tusculum campaign, mentoring two All-Conference and All-Region linebackers in Justin Scott and Jarvis Littlejohn. Both players each recorded over 100 tackles as the Pioneers won the South Atlantic Conference championship. Scott garnered All-America recognition, while establishing school season (22) and career (51) marks for tackles for loss. Justin Scott also finished his career with seven recovered fumbles, a new school best. Prior to Tusculum, Scott spent one season at Delta State, where he served as a graduate assistant coach for the Statesmen in 2007. In his lone season at DSU, he helped the Statesmen to a 10-2 record and a Gulf South Conference championship, while advancing to the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs and earning a No. 10 national ranking. Scott helped orchestrate one of the top defenses in the nation, while mentoring All-American linebacker Michael Eubanks. Eubanks was a national finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy, which recognizes the National Player of the Year in Division II. Eubanks, who finished third in the Harlon Hill balloting, ended his collegiate career as the NCAA II leader in sacks (39) and third all-time in career tackles for loss (67.5). He also coached all-conference standouts Lardester Hicks and Anthony King in 2007, while serving on the coaching staff for DSU head coach and former Tusculum defensive coordinator Ron Roberts. The Statesmen led the nation in pass efficiency defense (77.9) and was second in the country in total defense (227.4 yards per game), scoring defense (13.9 points per game) and team pass sacks (4.0 sacks per game). DSU was also third in the land in rushing defense, allowing just 67.3 yards per contest on the ground. Scott played his collegiate career at McMurry University in Abilene, Texas, where he graduated in 2007 with a degree in Exercise and Sports Studies. Following his graduation from McMurry, he served on the coaching staff at HardinSimmons University in Abilene where he coached the linebackers.

SUCCESS OFF THE FIELD C-USA institutions are among the nation’s best in academic performance of student-athletes, bolstered by the fact that student-athletes at league schools have a higher graduation rate than the general student population. Among C-USA’s 5,000 student-athletes, there are champions off the playing field as well. In 20 years, nearly 30,000 student-athletes have been named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll or received the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom.

C-USA ON TV C-USA enjoys significant television exposure through partnerships with FOX Sports Media Group, CBS Sports Network, ESPN and American Sports Network (ASN). The multi-tiered selection process that is rooted in partnering with all four networks has substantially increased the number of national and regional appearances for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and all other conference sports.

In its first year, 1,164 events were streamed live and 8,126 videos were posted and available on the C-USA Digital Network, and those numbers have more than doubled. Monthly and yearly subscriptions provide fans access to events offered on all of the C-USA member institution’s athletic websites as well as C-USA network programming.

C-USA in the community The conference’s current footprint is concentrated with 14 members in 10 states and a combined area population of more than 30 million. With a commitment to community involvement, the conference developed several initiatives to maintain strong ties in C-USA cities, as well as with fans and alumni across the country. C-USA schools also place a priority on giving back to their communities through volunteer service with local and national organizations. Individually, studentathletes are recognized each season through the Spirit of Service award.

RUSTON, La. - Jeff Driskel threw four touchdowns and Kenneth Dixon scored twice to lead Louisiana Tech to a season-opening 62-15 win over Southern before the second largest crowd in Joe Aillet Stadium history Saturday night. Driskel, the Florida fifth-year transfer, was 12of-15 for 274 yards and the four scores while playing only a quarter and a half as 27,905 fans witnessed the former Gator signal caller torch the Jaguars defense. “It was a great atmosphere and I want to praise Southern and their fan base and our fans,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “I cannot credit the seniors and leadership on this football team enough. I say this all the time, but I love this team. I love their character and their work habits. I think we have a group of young men who are fun to be around and to coach. I am really proud of them and the way they handled themselves. I thought it was impressive the way they came out. “It was a game that we are supposed to win. We went out there in the first quarter with our ones and they went in and put their foot down and said this game was about us and the standard that we have. We certainly did not play perfect tonight. I thought there were a lot of bright spots and a lot of positives.” With the Tech offense clicking on all cylinders and the Bulldog first team defense keeping Southern out of the endzone, the Bulldogs built a 52-8 halftime advantage. Even the Tech special teams units got into the scoring action when West Monroe product Paul Turner returned a punt 45 yards for a score midway through the first quarter. Dixon tied former Wisconsin Badger Ron Dayne for 10th place in NCAA history in touchdowns scored with 63, scoring on a 55-yard pass from Driskel for the games first TD and then racing 65 yards untouched early in the second quarter. Dixon recorded his 18th career 100-yard rushing game, totaling 106 yards on only nine carries. Driskel also connected on TD passes to Trent Taylor for 22 yards, Marcus Gaines for 27 yards and Paul Turner for 58 yards while also scoring on a six-yard keeper with 6:33 to play in the second quarter, giving Tech the 52-8 advantage. Holtz then pulled the vast majority of his starters as the Tech second and third teamers played the final two and a half quarters. After the opening kickoff was delayed nine minutes due to a lightning strike that chased both teams into their locker rooms during pregame warmups, the Bulldogs came out and created their own lightning strikes with big play after big play. Tech (1-0) took a 24-0 lead 14 minutes into the game, which included a 34-yard Jonathan Barnes field goal. Barnes also connected on a 43-yarder late in the fourth quarter for the final points for either team. Southern’s special teams then struck when Willie Quinn returned a kickoff 100-yards, cutting the Tech advantage to 24-8. The Bulldogs then responded by scoring four straight touchdowns within a seven-minute span to put the game out of reach. The second half saw Southern score first on a 1-yard TD run by Lenard Tillery. Tech added a 22-yard TD pass from Ryan Higgins to Marlon Watts and Barnes’ 43-yard FG. Higgins finished 8-of-11 for 76 yards, one score and two interceptions. Red-shirt freshman QB Price Wilson saw his first college action, hitting 1-of-3 passes for 30 yards. Twelve different Bulldog receivers caught passes, including eight different receivers that had at least one catch of 20 or more yards. Tech outgained Southern 587-300, including 207 yards rushing and 380 yards passing. Defensively, Tech was led by Lloyd Grogan (6 tackles), Michael Mims (5 tackles) and Secdrick Cooper (5 tackles) while Xavier Woods and Nick Thomason both registered interceptions. Tyler Porter and Vontarrius Dora each recorded a sack in the game. The win marked the seventh straight season openers at home, dating back to 1995.

Houchens-Smith Stadium Bowling Green, KY. BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - Louisiana Tech fought back from a two touchdown deficit and pulled within three on an improbable touchdown catch by Paul Turner but the Bulldogs couldn’t get over the hump in a 41-38 loss at WKU Thursday night. Turner’s improbable catch came as the snap to quarterback Jeff Driskel went awry, sending the Bulldog signal caller scrambling. Driskel picked up the ball, rolled left and flung it to the back left corner of the end zone where Turner caught it before falling out of bounds. With multiple WKU players rushing him, Driskel saw the score on the videoboard at Houchens-Smith Stadium. Driskel finished the night with a career-best 357 yards in a 28-for-48 performance. Trent Taylor (9 catches, 119 yards, 1 TD) and Paul Turner (seven catches, 109 yards, 1 TD) led the Bulldogs (1-1, 0-1 Conference USA) in receiving. Kenneth Dixon ran for 168 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries marking his 19th career game with 100 yards or more on the ground. The need to rally for the Bulldogs was due to a slow start as WKU scored on its opening drive and rushed out to a 21-3 lead. The Hilloppers had a chance an even greater lead early but fumbled going into the end zone which was recovered by Kentrell Brice. Louisiana Tech fought back and pulled within a touchdown on Dixon’s six-yard touchdown run with 4:26 left in the half before a Garrett Schwettman extended the lead to 10 with a 25-yard field goal before halftime. But the ability to bounce back gave the Bulldogs hope entering the second half. Dixon and Driskel would each score on a one-yard run but Louisiana Tech could never overcome the early deficit in full. Brandon Doughty threw for 441 yards and one touchdown for the Hilltoppers (2-0, 1-0) a year after getting picked off four times against the Bulldogs. He did not commit any turnvoers in the game, ending LA Tech’s streak of 10 consecutive games with an interception

BULLDOGS Bill Snyder Family Stadium Manhattan, Kan.

39 33 3OT

MANHATTAN, Kan. - Jonathan Barnes converted a career-high four field goals and Trent Taylor registered a career-high 148 receiving yards but a 4th-and-10 pass to him fell to the ground as Louisiana Tech fell at Kansas State, 39-33, in triple overtime Saturday afternoon in Manhattan, Kansas. The game marked the longest in Louisiana Tech history as the Bulldogs (1-2) pushed the Wildcats (3-0) to the brink in front of 53,540 in the third-largest crowd in Bill Snyder Family Stadium history. “It is tough,” Louisiana Tech quarterback Jeff Driskel said. “It is a disappointed locker room. We expected to win the game, the whole game. Coming into the game we expected it, during the game we expected it and in overtime we expected it. It is tough to come out with a loss like that. I am proud to be a part of this program, to be with these guys. We just have to bounce back.” Taylor ended the day 148 receiving yards on 12 catches - both career bests for the junior - and caught the lone touchdown pass of the day for Louisiana Tech which came in the first overtime period. Driskel was 30-for-51 passing for 314 yards with no interceptions, but was sacked five times. Driskel ran for 42 yards and two touchdowns in the game, the first marking the first touchdown Kansas State has allowed this season. “Jeff (Driskel) played an amazing game,” Taylor said of his quarterback. “You could not ask for much more. He is just fire out there. He is a guy that you love to have on your team. He gives 110 percent effort.” Barnes converted field goal attempts from 25, 39, 45 and 32 yards but missed a 33-yard attempt in the first quarter as his plant foot slipped on the FieldTurf. Nick Thomason led the Bulldog defense with eight total tackles (seven solo, one assisted) and registered two tackles for a loss of four yards. Deldrick Canty and Vontarrius Dora also were responsible for two tackles for a loss each. “I have great respect for Coach Snyder and I congratulated him and his team,” Louisiana Tech head coach Skip Holtz said after the game. “I thought they did the things they needed to do to win the football game. I am just really proud of the way we competed. I thought the defense played really well outside of that last play - the third down and 16, where they gave up the touchdown, but I thought they played their tails off today.” Kansas State was led by tailback Justin Silmon’s 114 rushing yards while quarterback Joe Hubener passed for 195 yards and three touchdowns in a 15-for-26 performance. Louisiana Tech held a 20-13 lead over K-State after Driskel’s eight-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter but the Wildcats took the three-point lead after Charles Jones’ two-yard run and Jack Cantele’s 20-yard field goal. Jones’ touchdown that tied the game at 20-20 came as K-State set its scoring drive up with a 58-yard punt return by Dominique Heath. Jones would score on the second play of the drive as the Wildcats needed to only move the ball seven yards to reach the end zone. After Cantele’s field goal - one of four on the day for the K-State kicker - put the Wildcats up 23-20 with under three minutes left in regulation, LA Tech would struggle to move the ball gaining only one yard in three plays. Tech would punt the ball away and the defense would hold K-State to a three-and-out, aided by one of Thomason’s tackles for a loss. After a 47-yard punt by Kansas State, Louisiana Tech started the last drive of regulation on its own 12 yard line, driving 60 yards in 11 plays with Barnes kicking the game-tying 45-yard field goal as time expired to force overtime. LA Tech and Kansas State would trade touchdowns in the first overtime period and field goals in the second. The Wildcats had the ball first in the final overtime period, scoring on a 31-yard touchdown pass by Hubener to Kody Cook while the two-point conversion attempt, a requirement starting in the third overtime, failed. Driskel’s four pass attempts in Tech’s final bid to extend or win the game all were incomplete as Kansas State escaped with the win.

Joe Aillet Stadium Ruston, La. RUSTON, La. - Senior Kenneth Dixon scored three touchdowns for the 11th time in his career while leading Louisiana Tech to a 27-17 win over FIU before 20,010 fans in Conference USA action at Joe Aillet Stadium Saturday afternoon. Dixon scored on runs of 63 and 14 yards and hauled in an acrobatic 23-yard scoring pass from quarterback Jeff Driskel, moving him up to second in the NCAA for most games with three or more touchdowns. He also climbed in the NCAA record books to sixth in career overall touchdowns (68) and 10th in career rushing touchdowns (58). Dixon ended up rushing for 169 yards on a season-high 25 carries, his 20th career 100yard rushing performance. “Kenneth Dixon is special,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “I think we are going to look back at his career and realize how lucky we were to have him on our team. I’ve coached a lot of great players in my time, but I don’t know if I’ve ever coached a guy who loves to compete like Kenneth does.” Coming off back-to-back heartbreaking road losses at WKU and Kansas State the past two weekends, Louisiana Tech (2-2, 1-1 C-USA) knew it needed to overcome the disappointment of those results. It didn’t take Dixon long to get his teammates - and the red-clad Bulldog faithful energized as he took a handoff on the fifth offensive play of the game, cut to the left side and dash 63 yards for a score, giving Tech the 7-0 lead. Dixon’s run was aided by a great block by sophomore wide receiver Carlos Henderson on a FIU defensive back, while Dixon left the Panthers safety in his tracks on a cut-back that ultimately separated him from the pack. FIU (2-2, 0-1 C-USA) scored its first points of the game early in the second quarter on a 44yard field goal by Austin Taylor, cutting the Tech advantage to 7-3. With Tech struggling to add to its lead, it took another highlight play by Dixon to break the offensive drought. On a third down and 1 play from the FIU 23, Dixon ran a wheel route and Driskell led him down the left sideline with the pass. Dixon leaped high into the air to catch the pass and then had the instinct to get one foot down in the end zone before his momentum led him out of bounds. It was Dixon’s eighth career touchdown reception and Jonathan Barnes extra point gave Tech a 14-3 advantage. The scoring drive of 6 plays covering 81 yards was highlighted by a 21-yard connection to Trent Taylor and a 32-yard run by Driskell, who finished 18-of-32 passes for 226 yards and one score. Tech’s defense continued to keep FIU at bay. A Barnes 39-yard field goal with 2:19 remaining in the second quarter ended the first half scoring as the Bulldogs took a 17-3 lead into the halftime locker room. “We came into halftime and I looked around and we looked mentally spent,” Holtz said. “Not physically, but mentally. We talked all week about making sure we put the two tough losses behind us and coming out and playing hard. I thought we did that. I think mentally it took something out of us.” FIU wouldn’t go away quietly. The Panthers opened the second half with an impressive drive, orchestrating a 13-play, 75-yard drive that culminated with a 10-yard scoring pass from Alex McGough to tight end Ya’Keem Griner with 8:44 to play in the third quarter. Taylor’s extra point made the score 17-10. With the game still in doubt, Dixon came to Tech’s rescue once again. Early in the fourth quarter with Tech holding the seven-point lead, Dixon took a handoff at the 14-yard line and bounced outside. A host of FIU players appeared to have the Strong, Arkansas native stopped at the five-yard line, but Dixon shook off the would-be tacklers and powered into the end zone for is third touchdown of the day. After another defensive stop by Tech on FIU’s ensuing possession, Tech drove 65 yards on

Any chance of any type of Ragin’ Cajun comeback was doused at the start of the third quarter. On the third play of the second half, Driskel hit Gaines on an inside receiver screen and Gaines raced untouched 72 yards to paydirt, giving Tech a 36-7 lead. Driskel completed 20-of-33 passes for 290 yards and two scores without throwing an interception. Both teams added a touchdown. ULL scored late in the third quarter on a five-yard run by Nixon following a Tech turnover while Dixon scored on a six-yard run mid-way through the fourth quarter.

RUSTON -- Make it two years in a row for Skip Holtz and Co. Louisiana Tech overcame an early UL-Lafayette touchdown, reeling off 36 straight points and dominating the Ragin’ Cajuns for the second straight year, this time by the score of 43-14 before 26,910 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium Saturday night. UL-Lafayette came into the contest with a gameplan to stop Kenneth Dixon on the ground, one year after Dixon dismantled the Ragin’ Cajuns with almost 200 yards rushing in last season’s 48-20 Tech win. The Ragin’ Cajuns were successful with their attack, limiting Dixon to a season low 59 yards on 22 carries. However, it was the only phase of the game UL-L succeeded in as Tech scored on offense, defense and special teams in improving to 48-33-6 all-time against the Ragin’ Cajuns and winning for the eighth straight time in the series. “They came out tonight to stop Kenneth Dixon,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “They loaded the box to stop him on the ground. If I had to play this game again, I might put Jeff (Driskel) in the shotgun and let him throw in 70 times. He could have had 700 yards of offense but this wasn’t a game about stats. It was a game about getting the lead and managing the game. I thought our guys did a pretty good job of that for the most part.” Early on it appeared as though Tech (3-2, 1-1 C-USA) would have its hands full. ULL quarterback Jalen Nixon led the Ragin’ Cajuns on a five-play, 80-yard drive that culminated in a 49-yard touchdown pass to running back Elijah McGuire. Less than two minutes into the contest, ULL had a 7-0 lead. It would be the last lead of the night. “Defensively, outside of the first drive of the game, our defense played a great football game,” said Holtz. “The only points they gave up outside of the opening drive, when we lost leverage on a screen pass, was when we fumbled and they only had 15 yards to go to score a touchdown. That was the only points they scored in the second half. I thought it was a dominant performance by our defense. I thought they did a great job.” Tech responded on its first possession. Driskel methodically drove Tech down the field and found Trent Taylor on an eight-yard scoring pass in the right corner of the end zone, tying the game. Taylor, who finished the game with five catches for 78 yards and the score, made a diving catch for the TD. On Tech’s next possession, the Bulldogs started on their own four-yard line. This time Tech drove 96 yards on 10 plays and scored on a 19-yard TD run by Driskel. On the scoring drive, Driskel completed passes to Taylor for 18 yards and Marcus Gaines for 10 yards. It was a career night for Gaines, the sophomore wide out. With speedster Carlos Henderson sidelined with a nagging injury, Gaines stepped in and made the most of his opportunities, recording career highs in receptions (8) and yards (165). Tech’s special teams struck next. Leading 14-7, senior wide receiver Paul Turner broke free on a punt rush and blocked a ULL punt through the end zone for a safety, increasing the lead to 16-7. Jonathan Barnes then did his part, splitting the uprights on field goals of 50 and 41 yards in the second quarter as the Bulldog lead increased to 22-7. Following the second field goal, UL-Lafayette took over possession on its own 28-yard line with only 10 seconds to play in the half. Instead of kneeling on the ball and going to the locker room, the Ragin’ Cajuns called back-to-back pass plays. It proved costly. After an incompletion on the first one, Tech pressured Nixon on the final play of the half, forcing an off-balance pass that was intercepted by Bryson Abraham at midfield. Abraham then raced down the UL-Lafayette sideline and dove into the endzone for a touchdown, giving Tech a 29-7 lead and all the momentum heading into halftime. “I told Blake Baker that I thought they would just kneel on it,” Holtz said. “We got into a base defense. They throw an incompletion on the first play and I told him again, I thought they would just kneel on it. I thought it was a beautiful way to end the half.”

Alamodome San Antonio, Texas SAN ANTONIO, Texas - For the last two years, Skip Holtz has searched for a consistent kicking game that could deliver in the clutch. He may have finally found it. Jonathan Barnes hit two field goals, including a 32-yard chip shot with 10 seconds left in the game, as Louisiana Tech (4-2, 2-1 Conference USA) edged UTSA (1-5, 1-1), 34-31, Saturday evening at the Alamodome in front of 24,392 fans. That game-winning field goal, the first of Barnes’ career, capped a dramatic fourth quarter in which UTSA tied the game on a 57-yard touchdown pass from Dalton Sturm to JaBryce Taylor. Sturm finished the game with 227 yards passing and four touchdowns. Jeff Driskel led scoring drives of 75, 70, 76 and 62 yards as he threw for 351 yards and a touchdown in the game but was picked off twice -- both times in the first half. Driskel now has 1,812 passing yards on the year, the most he has accrued through any single season in his career (surpassing the 1,646 yards he passed for at Florida over 12 games in 2012). Trent Taylor had a career-high 13 catches for 143 yards while Carlos Henderson added 88 yards receiving on four catches. In his first career start, Jarred Craft ran for 72 yards and a touchdown while also catching a touchdown pass in the game. LA Tech’s road victory, the first road win the last five tries, marked the first time the road team has won in the new, but dramatically close, series between Louisiana Tech and UTSA. The Bulldog defense registered a season-high 12 tackles for a loss of 39 yards and two interceptions returned for 55 yards, one for a touchdown and one returned deep inside the red zone. Both resulted in points for the Bulldogs. After a 24-10 halftime lead, Louisiana Tech would withstand a Roadrunner rally in the second half, scoring only 10 points after the intermission with a Ricky Jones three-yard run and Barnes’ game-winner. In the first half, Louisiana Tech’s defense made several big plays highlighted by Bryson Abraham’s second consecutive game with an interception returned for a touchdown. That put Tech ahead early, 7-0, just over three minutes into the game. Tech’s defense registered five sacks in the first half alone, after entering the game with only six sacks to its credit through the previous five games. After both teams traded field goals, UTSA would drive 15 yards on three plays to reach the end zone. Both of UTSA’s scores in the first half came off Driskel interceptions but the first came on a controversial call. Initially the interception was called back due to a flag for pass interference on UTSA but after a lengthy discussion among the officials, the flag was picked up and the interception stood. The Roadrunners’ field goal came off another interception, one where Driskel’s pass bounced off the hands of a receiver and was brought down by UTSA’s Michael Egwuagu. Following that score, Tech would engineer two long scoring drives -- both of 70 yards or more -- to take a 24-10 lead into halftime. The second one, a two-yard Driskel pass to Craft, went 70 yards in only 56 seconds while the previous touchdown was a 1-yd Craft run.

Davis Wade Stadium Starkville, Miss. STARKVILLE, Miss. - Louisiana Tech jumped out to a 14-0 lead but miscues and big plays for Mississippi State turned the tide as LA Tech fell, 45-20, in front of 61,651 at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville Saturday. Mississippi State (5-2) was buoyed by a blocked punt recovered on the LA Tech two yard line and five plays of 20 yards or more -- including a 73-yard interception return for a touchdown -- along with scoring 21 unanswered points overlapping halftime to pull away from Louisiana Tech (4-3). Trent Taylor led Louisiana’s Bulldogs with 130 yards receiving and a touchdown on 10 catches for his sixth career game of 100-plus receiving yards, the fourth of the season for the junior from Shreveport, Louisiana. Jeff Driskel was 25-for-41 for 303 yards and two touchdowns in the game but gave up an interception that was returned for a touchdown. Meanwhile Mississippi State’s Dak Prescott threw for 347 yards in a 30-for-43 performance with three touchdowns and extended his unblemished streak of no interceptions on the season. For the Magnolia State’s Bulldogs, Donald Gray blocked the punt of Gerald Shouse to set up a two-yard score late in the first half while Brandon Bryant’s 73-yard interception return for a touchdown sealed the outcome. Boston Scott led LA Tech with a career-best 55 rushing yards on 10 carries while Jarred Craft recorded 96 all-purpose yards (40 rushing, 56 receiving). Xavier Woods and Nick Thomason each registered 10 total tackles and a pass break-up for Tech with Woods credited for 1.5 tackles for a loss of three yards and Thomason with one tackle for a loss of three yards. A week after being named Louisiana’s Defensive Player of the Week Jaylon Ferguson -- in his second career start - led Tech with 2.5 tackles for a loss of eight yards including a solo sack for a loss of four yards along with three quarterback hurries. LA Tech jumped out to a 14-0 lead early on Mississippi State as Driskel orchestrated a pair of long drives -- both over 70 yard. The first score was a Paul Turner 21-yard touchdown catch from Driskel to cap an 80-yard drive in eight plays for the first score of the game. After forcing a Mississippi State punt, Tech drove back down the field with Trent Taylor making an acrobatic, toe-tapping touchdown catch on a 16-yard reception for the 14-0 lead. Miss. State responded with 2:30 left in the first quarter with a two-yard run as the Magnolia State Bulldogs moved the ball 82 yards in 1:49 to pull within a score of Tech. State would add three points to its tally with a 26-yard field goal by Westin Graves less than four minutes into the second quarter before Tech would respond with a field goal of its own, a 33-yard kick by Jonathan Barnes. Another long drive by Mississippi State netted seven points with De’Runnya Wilson’s fiveyard catch from Prescott to tie the game at 17-17 with 2:53 left in the first half. Pinned back deep in its own territory on the next series, Tech allowed Mississippi State to block Gerald Shouse’s punt attempt with State recovering the ball on Tech’s two-yard line. Prescott would run it in on the first play of the drive as Mississippi State took a 24-17 lead into half. Mississippi State extended its run to 21 consecutive points scored in tehi third quarter as Prescott found Wilson again, this time for a 20-yard touchdown pass, as State extended its lead to 31-17. Louisiana Tech would get back on the board with 4:44 left in the third quarter as Barnes would hit a 27-yard field goal, cutting State’s lead to 31-20. But State would respond with 1:30 left in the quarter as Prescott threw his third touchdown pass of the day -- this time a 12-yard pass to Fred Brown -- pushing State’s lead to 38-20. State’s final score was the interception return for a touchdown by Bryant with 7:10 left in the game.

Middle Tennessee

Joe Aillet Stadium Ruston, La. RUSTON, La. - When it rains, it pours. It must have felt like a monsoon to Middle Tennessee. Kenneth Dixon scored four times and Louisiana Tech (5-3, 2-1) never trailed, recording 470 yards of total offense in a 45-16 over the Blue Raiders (3-5, 2-2) in constant rainfall at Joe Aillet Stadium in Ruston Saturday afternoon. Dixon only ran for 66 yards on 14 carries but reached the end zone three different times on the ground -- and surpassing the 4,000 career rushing yard mark -- in the game but added another score and 52 yards receiving on two catches in the game. “I thought he did a really nice job,” Louisiana Tech head coach Skip Holtz said. “He had a couple of really nice runs. On his first couple of runs the linebacker and center went the wrong way on an inside zone play. The inside linebacker was waiting in the hole and Kenneth made him miss. On the touchdown run he broke three or four tackles. He made some things happen. It is great to have him back there.” Jeff Driskel threw for 294 yards and two touchdowns in an 18-for-24 performance with no interceptions. He connected with eight different receivers in the game, led by Trent Taylor’s eight catches for 97 yards. Meanwhile, LA Tech’s defense allowed several yards but few points in the game. Brent Stockstill threw for 381 yards and two touchdowns in a 36-for-56 performance but was intercepted twice and sacked three times with one fumble lost. Stockstill, son of Middle Tennessee head coach Rick Stockstill, fell prey to Bryson Abraham’s third pick-six of the season while Beau Fitte registered his first interception of the year. But the passing game was practically Middle’s offense in its entirety as the Blue Raiders were held to just 33 yards rushing in the game, a season low. For that, credit a defensive front that allowed only 1.4 yards per carry and registered five tackles for a loss of 40 yards, including the three sacks for a loss of 33 yards. Nick Thomason led that defensive effort with 11 total tackles (five solo, six assisted) with a solo stop for a loss of two yards while Fitte added six tackles. Jaylon Ferguson, in just his third start of his career, was credited for two sacks for a loss of 23 yards. “Defensively, I continue to be proud of the front seven and the job that they are doing,” said Holtz. “We have to shore some things up in the passing game. They threw for 381 yards and only rushed for 30 or 40 yards. The front is really doing a nice job but we have to continue to get better with our coverage. When you get a lead, people are going to start throwing the ball on you. Our defense did what they had to do to keep them out of the end zone. They were able to minimize the big plays. I think that was the difference in the game. We had a couple of big plays for points. They had a lot of yards passing, but we were able to keep them out of the end zone for the most part and held them to 16 points.” Coming into the game, Louisiana Tech head coach Skip Holtz was concerned about the tempo Middle Tennessee could establish but early on the tables were turned. Tech scored in just 1:04 on its second possession on a four-play drive where Dixon punched it in from the five-yard line. After the Blue Raiders responded, Tech’s next possession and score came on a big play as Driskel connected with Carlos Henderson for a 55-yard touchdown pass. In fact, quick strikes were the name of the game for the Bulldogs as five of the team’s six touchdowns were scored in 1:15 or under. Those quick strikes allowed LA Tech to turn a 14-10 game into a 35-10 game in just over four minutes of game action. That included two Dixon scores -- one rushing, one receiving -- and Abraham’s 34-yard interception return for a touchdown. To the Bulldogs’ credit, Tech did not turn the ball over while forcing three changes of possession at Middle’s expense. But most of the fireworks ended at halftime. Neither team scored in the third quarter with Dixon reaching the end zone for the fourth -- and final -- time early in the fourth. The teams would

Rice Stadium Houston, Texas HOUSTON - Jeff Driskel threw for 320 yards, Carlos Henderson and Trent Taylor each had over 100 yards receiving and a pair of scores and the Bulldogs became the #BowlDogs Friday night with a 42-17 win at Rice. The Conference USA win for Louisiana Tech (6-3, 4-1) keeps the Bulldogs in control of their own destiny in the league’s West Division and made the team bowl eligible for the fourth time in the last five years. One more win would all but guarantee a chance to play in back-toback bowl games for the second time in school history. “We’ve never won here,” Louisiana Tech head coach Skip Holtz said following the win. “To come here as two teams tied for first in the C-USA West, and to be able to come out on top with a win, I feel really grateful.” History continued to be made with the 25-point win over Rice (4-4, 2-2) as it marked the first time in school history a Louisiana Tech team has posted over 400 offensive yards in nine consecutive games. It also marked the first time Louisiana Tech has won a game at Rice Stadium as the Bulldogs posted 455 yards of offense in 60 plays Friday evening at Rice Stadium in front of an announced crowd of 18,010, averaging 7.6 yards per play. Driskel threw for 320 yards and four touchdowns in a 17-for-26 performance with a pair of touchdown passes to Taylor and Henderson. Taylor caught five passes for 142 yards with a careerlong 63-yard reception while Henderson registered 115 yards receiving on six catches in addition to a 57-yard kickoff return. In fact in that drive (including the long return), Henderson touched the ball twice -- the return and then a 14-yard touchdown reception, the first for Henderson on the evening and the second for the Bulldogs. Rice struggled with penalties (eight flags for 62 yards) and a handful of dropped passes that muted quarterback Driphus Jackson’s numbers to 14-for-28 for 180 yards and two touchdowns. Neither team committed a turnover and LA Tech’s win marked the first time in five tries the visiting team has won in the series. The Owls entered the game ranking 37th nationally in rushing offense averaging 195 yards per game but were limited to just 101 yards rushing on 33 attempts Friday evening. Meanwhile LA Tech averaged 18.8 yards per completion, only committed two penalties and did not turn the ball over in the contest. Taylor scored the first touchdown of the night for LA Tech with what was a career-long 47yard catch only to best that in the second quarter with a 63-yard catch that eventually set up a four-yard run by Kenneth Dixon, one of his two touchdowns in the game. The first came on Tech’s previous possession - a two-yard run -- as the Bulldogs would take a 28-7 lead into halftime. Henderson’s second score came on a drive that was practically bookended by a pair of 24yard passes to the New Orleans native. After a Dixon nine-yard run started the half, Driskel connected with Henderson for a 24-yard gain. Five plays later Driskel found Henderson again for a 24-yard gain, but this time it was in the end zone. Taylor’s second score came early in the fourth quarter, a 10-yard pass that was the first throw of the drive. With Tech leading 35-10, Driskel divvied up handoffs to Dixon, Jarred Craft and Ricky Jones before finding Taylor in the end zone on a 3rd-and-9 situation. After tying the game at 7-7 in the first quarter, the Owls would go scoreless until late in the third quarter when Hayden Tobola kicked a 40-yard field goal. Rice’s final score came with under four minutes remaining in the game. Jaylon Ferguson continued to impress with three of his five solo tackles registering for a loss of eight yards including a sack for a loss of six yards. He also was credited with a quarterback hurry. Kentrell Brice led all players with seven total tackles.

Joe Aillet Stadium Ruston, La. RUSTON, La. - Kenneth Dixon set a Conference USA single game record with six rushing touchdowns to lead Louisiana Tech to a 56-13 win over North Texas before a rain-soaked homecoming crowd at Joe Aillet Stadium Saturday afternoon. Dixon tied his own single game Louisiana Tech record set his freshman season against Idaho and the six rushing touchdowns were the most scored by a player in Football Bowl Subdivision action this year. He now has 81 career touchdowns scored, and needs only three more to pass former Wisconsin running back Monte Ball for NCAA record. With the win, Tech (7-3, 5-1) pulled a half-game ahead of Southern Miss in the Conference USA West Division standings. The Bulldogs will have a bye week this coming Saturday before traveling to UTEP Nov. 21. Southern Miss plays at Rice next weekend and hosts Old Dominion the following weekend. If both LA Tech and USM win out, it will set up a showdown for the West Division title on Nov. 28 in Ruston. Tech is 5-0 at home this season following Saturday’s lopsided win over the Mean Green (1-8, 1-5), who were coming off their first win of the year. Any confidence North Texas might have brought to Joe Aillet Stadium was gone by the end of the first quarter as the Bulldogs built an early 21-0 lead. Dixon got his night started off with a 1-yard plunge, capping a five-play, 73-yard drive, the highlight play of the drive being a 55-yard scamper by Dixon to put the Bulldogs deep into North Texas territory. Jonathan Barnes’ extra point made it 7-0. North Texas stalled on their second offensive possession of the night and then special teams disaster struck. On fourth down and 18, North Texas’ deep snapper snapped the ball five feet over the head of the NT punter. Tech corner Bryson Abraham scooped up the loose ball and returned it 26 yards, giving Tech a 14-0 lead. Tech’s defense -- which forced four turnovers on the night -- struck next. On second day and 10, NT running back DeMarcus Smith was stripped by Jaylon Ferguson and Beau Fitte recovered on the Mean Green 18 yard line. Two plays later, Dixon hit paydirt for the second time -- this time from seven yards out and the Bulldogs were rolling up 21-0. Dixon added a one-yard run in the second quarter -- the only scoring of the frame -- and Tech took a 28-0 advantage into the locker room. Nothing changed coming out of the locker room. Dixon continued his assault on the record books, scoring on a highlight reel 40-yard run and then added another impressive 14-yard score. Tech led 42-0 at the end of three. Dixon found paydirt one more time in the fourth quarter, scoring from three yards out with 13:41 to play for his sixth rushing touchdown of the night. He ended the night with 195 yards and six scores on only 22 carries, his 21st career 100-yard rushing game. UNT added a pair of TDs midway through the fourth quarter. Senior running back Blake Martin scored his first TD of the season from three yards out for Tech following an 89-yard kickoff return by Boston Scott to finish the scoring. Jeff Driskell had another impressive night for Tech, completing 17-of-26 passes for 295 yards, including five for 162 yards to Carlos Henderson. Defensively, the Bulldogs were stellar. North Texas ended the night with 316 yards on 81 plays while turning the football over four times. Fitte (8 tackles, 1 FR) and Xavier Woods (6 tackles, 2 TFL, 2 FF) paced the way for Tech.

Sun Bowl Stadium El PAso, Texas EL PASO, Texas - Special teams determined the outcome of a Louisiana Tech game again this season but in a manner very different than 10 weeks ago. A booming punt by Gerald Shouse and a missed 32-yard field goal by UTEP’s Jay Mattox allowed Louisiana Tech to escape El Paso with a 17-15 win Saturday afternoon at the Sun Bowl. But even Mattox’s missed field goal with 2:38 left in regulation didn’t clinch the game. Tech would go three-and-out on its next possession but relied on Shouse’s 61-yard punt to flip the field, his second punt of the game over 60 yards. Then Tech’s defense took over with constant pressure on UTEP quarterback Ryan Metz and a bend but don’t break attitude on the Miners’ final drive. A struggling Bulldog offense put the onus on securing a win on the two other facets of the game for Louisiana Tech (8-3, 6-1 Conference USA). The Blake Baker-led defense held its fifth straight opponent to under 17 points. Vontarrius Dora led the defense with 11 total tackles while Nick Thomason, in his first game returning from an injury sustained on Oct. 30 at Rice, tallied 10 total tackles including one for a loss. Vernon Butler was a force up front with two of his three solo tackles coming for a loss. Tech’s offense did have two flashes of its usual self when Jeff Driskel connected with Carlos Henderson twice for scores. The first, a 16-yard pass, ended up sending the game to halftime tied at 10-10 and the Bulldogs taking their final lead of the game early in the third quarter on a 54-yard Driskel-to-Henderson play. UTEP (4-7, 2-5) would get a safety after tackling Kenneth Dixon for a loss in the end zone and then Mattox would hit a 27-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter. But his 32-yard attempt that would have given UTEP the lead -- and likely the win -- missed wide left. Dixon would finish the day with 39 rushing yards on 19 carries. Tech would only register 307 total offensive yards, the first time all season the Bulldogs have not recorded over 400 yards in a game.

Joe Aillet Stadium Ruston, La. RUSTON, La. - Louisiana Tech running back Kenneth Dixon tied an NCAA record but the fanfare was overshadowed by a season-high seven turnovers in the Bulldogs’ 58-24 loss to Southern Miss Saturday afternoon at Joe Aillet Stadium in Ruston. Dixon scored twice as he tied Montee Ball (Wisconsin, 2009-12) and Keenan Reynolds (Navy, 2012-Present) with an NCAA record 83 career overall touchdowns. However both scores came off receptions as Louisiana Tech (8-4, 6-2) struggled to establish a running game, rushing for negative yardage in a game for the first time since 1999. Southern Miss (9-3, 7-1) took advantage of LA Tech’s season-high seven turnovers as the Golden Eagles scored 30 points off turnovers including 20 points off three Tech turnovers in a 45-second span. The loss, which came on the 80th anniversary of the first meeting between the two teams, snapped Louisiana Tech’s nine-game home winning streak. Jeff Driskel was 27-for-44 for 355 yards and three touchdowns but was also intercepted three times. Trent Taylor notched 11 catches for 102 yards and one touchdown while Paul Turner registered six catches for 112 yards in the game. Dixon was the team’s third-best receiver with five catches for 81 yards but finished with negative-four yards rushing. Beau Fitte led the Louisiana Tech defense as he tallied a career-high 15 total tackles including one for a loss of three yards and an interception. That would be Southern Miss quarterback Nick Mullens only interception as the USM signal caller threw for 386 yards and three touchdowns in a 24-for-37 performance while Ito Smith ran for three scores of his own on 169 yards rushing. Michael Thomas caught seven passes for 162 yards for Southern Miss including one touchdown. Louisiana Tech now awaits an announcement of which bowl game the Bulldogs will be invited to with that decision to be made by Dec. 6. Conference USA has seven guaranteed bowl commitments this season including the NOVA Home Loans Arizona, Gildan New Mexico, Miami Beach, Popeyes Bahamas, R+L Carriers New Orleans, St. Petersburg and Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas. The league also has a secondary agreement with the Independence Bowl.

O’Toole threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Jon Davis early in the second quarter. He was 24 of 39 for a season-high 295 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Taylor Zalewski kicked a 27-yard FG in the first quarter for Illinois, which committed eight first-half penalties for 53 yards and missed two field goals attempts and an extra point. Sokol, who began his collegiate career in the Big Ten at Iowa, completed 14 of 28 passes for 247 yards and one touchdown. On Woods’ interception, the pass was thrown ahead of Dudek, whose uniform appeared to be held by Tech’s Bryson Abraham just before Woods made the grab. “Reilly threw the ball where I was supposed to be,” Dudek said. “Which I probably would have been had I not been held, but the ref didn’t call it.”

DALLAS (AP) - Louisiana Tech’s Houston Bates had a career day against his former team - his 4 1-2 sacks in the Heart of Dallas Bowl matched the number he had in three seasons at Illinois. Bates, who graduated and transferred to finish his eligibility closer to home was chosen MVP of the game after the Bulldogs beat the Illini 35-18 on Friday. “It wasn’t Houston Bates vs. Illinois. It was Louisiana Tech vs. Illinois,” Bates said. Kenneth Dixon scored one of his two touchdowns on an 80-yard reception and Xavier Woods scored on a 69-yard interception. The Bulldogs (9-5) also got touchdown runs of 16 yards from Jarred Craft and 28 yards from Blake Martin on a dark, overcast day at the Cotton Bowl stadium. Illinois (6-7) struggled early with penalties and missed field goals, but got within three points on David Reisner’s 43yard field goal early in the fourth quarters. But Dixon scored his second TD from one yard out with six minutes left to make it 28-18 and the Illini couldn’t answer. Illinois appeared to have gotten a break when LaKeith Walls sacked Cody Sokol, causing him to fumble. Jihad Ward returned it 19 yards before Dixon forced a fumble and Sokol recovered. That drive was capped by Dixon’s TD. “The way the guys played, Kenneth and Cody and throughout the whole season, it’s truly outstanding,” Bates said. “It’s something I’m going to live for the rest of my life. And if I die tomorrow, my life would be complete.” Tech coach Skip Holtz then asked Bates to skip the humble answer and say what it really meant to him to win. “Unbelievable,” Bates added with a huge smile. “I know it’s been an emotional week for him,” Holtz said, “and I know it’s been an emotional week to see him go out and do the things that he did.” Bates had an additional sack in the closing minutes negated when a teammate couldn’t get off the field in time and the Bulldogs were penalized for having 12 players on the field. Dixon became Louisiana Tech’s career leader in yards rushing, finishing with 63 for a total of 3,410 in three seasons. He is also the only FBS player with both a run and a reception of at least 80 yards this season. Louisiana Tech went into the game tied for first place among FBS schools with 25 interceptions and first with 40 total turnovers forced. With Monday’s two Illini turnovers, Tech converted turnovers into 198 points this season. “I was just not giving up on the play,” Dixon said. “I mean, he got the ball. He was running. I got behind him and just tried to do my best to get the ball back.” “I saw Kenneth coming and, what went through my head?” Holtz said. “`Get ìm, Kenneth! Get ìm! Get ìm! Get ìm!’ And he got there. Great strip on the ball.” “That’s the game of football to me,” Illinois coach Tim Beckman said of the turnovers. “I think they’ve been very opportunistic in what they’ve done this year. We need to become that better, our defense. No question those were big, huge plays.” Tech led 21-9 lead at halftime after Reilly O’Toole’s pass was returned for a touchdown by Woods midway through the second, but Illinois responded with a 3-yard scoring run by Donovonn Young. The 2-point conversion failed, though, but Reisner banked in a field goal to cut the Bulldogs’ lead to 3.

2011 San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl Qualcomm Stadium San Diego, Calif. SAN DIEGO - Fifteenth-ranked TCU scored two fourth quarter touchdowns to complete a 31-24 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 23-yard field goal with 8:30 to play in the first quarter gave Tech a 3-0 lead. The score capped a 13-play, 65-yard drive by Tech which was highlighted by a 28-yard pass from Cameron to Quinton Patton that took the Bulldogs down to the TCU 12-yard line. However, Tech was unable to get into the endzone on six plays inside the TCU red zone, forcing the field goal attempt. Following a Hunter Lee fumble inside the TCU 35-yard line late in the first quarter, the Horned Frogs drove deep inside Tech territory and tied the game on a Ross Evans 25-yard field goal with 14:11 to play in the second quarter. Tech countered immediately with a seven-play, 59-yard drive that was capped by Cameron’s two-yard strike to Patton - a play that was initially ruled as an incompletion but that was overturned after instant replay. Nelson’s extra point made it 10-3. The drive was highlighted by a 26-yard toss from Cameron to Taulib Ikharo that took the ball down to the TCU four-yard line. The Bulldogs appeared to have all the momentum heading into half until TCU corner Greg McCoy intercepted a Cameron pass with just over two minutes to play and returned it to the LA Tech 25-yard line. Four plays later, Ed Wesley tied the game on a seven-yard run with only 55 seconds to play in the half. The two teams entered the locker room tied despite the fact Tech ran 21 more offensive plays than the Horned Frogs and outgained TCU 266-144. TCU took its first lead of the contest on their opening drive of the second half as Matthew Tucker scored from one-yard out, ending an 11-play, 55-yard drive. Trailing 17-10, Tech was forced to punt on its next possession but the Bulldogs special teams came up big as Josh Cuthbert recovered a muffed punt by Brandon Carter inside the TCU red zone. Three plays later, Lee hit paydirt from two yards out and the game was tied again at 17-17. After neither team was able to move the ball on their next possessions, the Bulldog defense came up with a turnover as Quinn Giles intercepted Paschall on the Tech 39-yard line. On a thirddown-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.

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.

ball on the Tech 8-yard line. However, little did anyone know that would be the last of the scoring for either team. Over the last five offensive possessions of the game for NIU, the Tech defense held the Huskies to only 103 yards and NIU ventured past midfield only once -- the Bulldogs defense held on a fourth-down-and-five play on its own 46 yard line with less than two minutes to play. The Bulldogs on the other hand had a couple of opportunities to add on to their total as Patrick Jackson fumbled inside the NIU 15-yard line after a 34-yard gain on a screen pass from Ross Jenkins midway through the fourth quarter. Tech also failed to capitalize after Brown intercepted Harnish at the Huskies 37-yard line with 6:25 to play. The Bulldogs lost five yards on their three offensive plays and were forced to punt. The eight wins is the most by a Bulldog team since the 1999 Tech squad posted an 8-3 mark and the bowl win was the first since the 1977 Independence Bowl.

SHREVEPORT, La. - It’s no surprise that Louisiana Tech turned to its defense and special teams against Northern Illinois Sunday night at the 33rd Independence Bowl at Independence Stadium. Those units were instrumental all season in leading head coach Derek Dooley and Co. to its first post-season appearance since 2001 and only its third since the program joined the Football Bowl Subdivision in 1989. On Sunday night in Shreveport, once again, they came through leading Tech to a 17-10 win over the Huskies. Phillip Livas, the offensive MVP of the game, got the game started for Tech with a 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the first quarter and then the Bulldogs defense stiffened the rest of the way. After allowing a NIU touchdown on only its second possession, the Tech defensive unit limited the Huskies to three points over the final three quarters of play. Senior defensive back Weldon Brown, playing before a home crowd -- Brown prepped at Bossier High School -- , earned defensive MVP honors after recording a career-high 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 11yard 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

2001 Humanitarian Bowl BRONCO Stadium BOISE, IDAHO 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 injury-riddled 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.

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

1978 Independence Bowl State Fair Stadium Shreveport, La. SHREVEPORT, La. - Tech’s return trip to the Independence Bowl was quite different from the first as East Carolina defeated the Bulldogs 35-13. The Pirates forced four fumbles and intercepted Bulldogs quarterback Eric Barkley three times en route to the victory. ECU took control of the game early, scoring twice in the first quarter. The Pirates pushed their lead to 21-0 on a touchdown run early in the second quarter. The Bulldogs answered less than two minutes later with a 32-yard touchdown strike. Tech cut the lead to 21-10 with a 36-yard field goal less than a minute before the end of the half. The second half was virtually all East Carolina. Swilley booted another 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.

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

Montana State 19, Louisiana Tech 6 December 15, Charleston, S.C. After an impressive run in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs, Louisiana Tech struggled in the 1984 National Championship game as Montana State defeated the Bulldogs 19-6. After scoring 131 points in its three previous playoff wins to advance to the title game, the Bulldog offense sputtered all afternoon long in large part because of the stellar play of the Bobcats defense, which sacked Tech quarterback Kyle Gandy 11 times. Montana State opened the game with a 33-yard Mark Carter field goal on its second possession after Gandy threw an interception deep in Bulldog territory. Two possessions later, following a blocked punt by Montana State, the Bobcats scored the game’s first touchdown as Kelly Bradley hit Joe Bignell for a 17-yard scoring strike. Carter’s extra point was wide left, but Montana State still led 9-0. Montana State’s defense held Louisiana Tech without a first down in the opening 15 minutes of play while forcing two Bulldog turnovers. The second quarter started better for the Bulldogs as Tech marched down to the Montana State 27-yard line before Gandy fumbled and the Bobcats recovered, ending the Tech scoring threat. Montana State upped its advantage to 16-0 as it drove 80 yards, capped by a Bradley to Bignell 33-yard scoring strike. Carter added a 48-yard field goal right before the half as the Bobcats took a commanding 19-0 lead into the locker room. After gaining only 62 total yards of offense in the first half, Tech had a little more success in the final two quarters of play. However, Gandy’s 10-yard touchdown pass to Mike Sherman with only 0:48 remaining in the game was too little too late as Montana State won the 1984 Division I-AA National Championship. Gandy finished the afternoon, completing 24 of 38 passes for 287 yards and the one score but was intercepted four times by the Bobcats defense. Bradley posted stellar numbers for Montana State, completing 32 of 57 passes for 334 yards and two scores while Bignell registered 10 receptions for 130 yards and two touchdowns.

In Terry Bradshaw’s final appearance as a Bulldog, he completed 20 passes for 299 yards, but he was sacked 12 times for 143 yards in losses as the Bulldogs fell 34-14 to East Tennessee in the 1969 Grantland Rice Bowl. The Buccaneers got on the scoreboard first with a touchdown in the first quarter to take an early 6-0 lead. East Tennessee extended its lead to 13-0 in the second quarter on a 37-yard halfback pass for a touchdown and took that lead into the locker room at the half.

The Buccaneers added a third-quarter touchdown before the Bulldogs pulled within 20-14 on a 19-yard touchdown pass from Bradshaw to Tommy Spinks. That was as close as Louisiana Tech got in the game though, as East Tennessee iced the game with two last stanza scores. 1 6 0

BULLDOG HISTORY

1910-1919

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

Record: 24-22-5 (.471) Coaches: Percy Prince (1910-1915); A. Flack (1916); V.S. Pugh (1917); Percy Prince (1919) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Louisiana Intercollegiate Athletic Association (1915-1924)/1915, 1921

1901-1909

1910: First perfect season (7-0) During this decade of Bulldog football, Prince coached Tech for seven seasons, including the school’s first perfect year in 1910 with a record of 7-0. Prince was the first coach at Tech to coach for multiple seasons, finishing his career with a record of 24-16-5. His 1911 and 1915 teams also posted winning records, recording marks of 4-2-1 and 3-1-2, respectively. 1916: First Recorded Game at Independence Stadium In 1916, Coach A. Flack took over for Prince, but the Bulldogs struggled, going 2-4 with wins over Ouachita and Northwestern State. V.S. Pugh took over the coaching duties in 1917 and led Tech to a 2-3 season. However, Prince came back and coached Tech for one last season in 1919 as Tech lost to Henderson State and Northwestern State in the only two recorded games.

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

1940-1949

Record: 38-34-8 (.475) Coaches: R.F. Clark (1920-1921); William Dietz (1922-1923); Phillip Arbuckle (1924); R.C. Kenney (1925); Hugh Wilson (1926-1927); F.A. Rockwell (1928-1929) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (1925-1929)/None

Record: 50-31-1 (.610) Coach: Joe Aillet (1940-1949) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Louisiana Collegiate Conference (1940-1947)/1941, 1945, 1947; Gulf States Conference (1948-1949)/1949

Six different coaches led the Bulldogs of the 1920s as Tech posted a winning mark of 38-34-8 during the decade. Coach R.F. Clark helped start the 1920s right for Tech fans as his two Bulldog teams registered winning records of 5-1 and 6-0 in1920 and 1921. After Clark’s 1920 team lost the first game of the season 12-0 to Northwestern State, he proceeded to win 11 consecutive contests over the span of the next two years. William Dietz picked up where Clark left off in 1922 and 1923 as the 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. 1928: New Football Field Built Then, in the fall of 1928, a new Tech athletic field was built immediately adjoining the men’s gymnasium on the current site of A.E. Phillips Laboratory School. The field was dedicated on Homecoming day Nov. 5, before the game with UL-Lafayette (UL-Lafayette won 45-6).

1940: 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).

1920-1929

1930-1939 Record: 47-42-4 (.505) Coaches: George Bohler (1930-1933); L.P McLane (1934-1938); Ray Davis (1939) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (1930-1938)/None; Louisiana IntercollegiateConference (1939)/None The nickname Bulldogs and school colors of red and blue were decided upon sometime during the early years of the university. However, T.J. “Cotton” and Henry Matthews, two Tech freshman brothers from Bossier City, donated Tech’s first live bulldog in 1930. On the playing field, Coach George Bohler led Tech into the 1930s as the Bulldogs posted a 3-6 season in 1930 before rebounding to record the school’s third perfect season at 7-0 in 1931. 1935: 5,000 Seat Football Stadium Built In 1934, according to The Tech Talk, the Louisiana Legislature appropriated $25,000 for a concrete stadium to be built beginning in January 1935. The stadium seated 3,000, and wooden bleachers holding an additional 2,000 were built on the east side of the field. Again, Tech — under the guidance of Coach L.P. McLane — and 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.

Amazingly, Joe Aillet’s second decade as the Bulldogs’ head coach was more successful as his teams won an incredible 70 percent of their games during the 1950s while claiming six Gulf States Conference titles. Tech registered 10 winning seasons during the 1950s, never losing more than four games in a year. Tech captured its first GSC title of the decade during 1952, when the Bulldogs went 6-1-2, including wins over Florida State and Memphis State. Aillet also led Tech to Gulf States titles in 1953 (6-3), 1955 (9-1), 1957 (6-4), 1958 (7-3) and 1959 (9-1). During the era, Tech had 33 players earn All-Gulf States Conference honors including the family foursome of Tommy (three times), Pat (twice), Bobby and Joe Hinton (twice). Nine of Aillet’s players were named All-American during the 1950s, including Charles Anderson, Gordon Brown, Joe Hinton, Pat Hinton, Tommy Hinton, Jerry Hudson, Russell Rainbolt, Leo Sanford and Jess Storts.

1960-1969 Record: 57-38 (.600) Coaches: Joe Aillet (1960-1966); Maxie Lambright (1967-1969) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Gulf States Conference(1960-1969)/ 1960, 1964, 1969 The 1960s saw plenty of change for Louisiana Tech late in the decade. However, early on it was the same old winning ways for Joe Aillet and his Bulldogs as Tech opened the era with yet another Gulf States Conference title and an 8-2 record. After recording marks of 5-4, 4-4 and 6-3 over the next three seasons, the Bulldogs captured another GSC title in 1964 with a 9-1 record. A 14-7 loss at the hands of Southern Mississippi kept the Bulldogs from obtaining the perfect record. Following another 4-4 season in 1965, the change began. Aillet’s 1966 squad, his last at Tech, fell to 1-9, breaking a streak of 21 consecutive years of non-losing seasons under the Tech legend. Aillet’s 26-year tenure as the Bulldogs head coach was over after 152 wins and 12 conference titles. 1967: Maxie Lambright Era Begins In 1967, Tech hired Maxie Lambright to take over the duties and after posting a 3-7 record in his first season, the Bulldogs resumed their winning ways in 1968 with a 9-2 record, thanks in large part to a young quarterback named Terry Bradshaw. 1968: First Game played in Joe Aillet Stadium During the 1968 season, the Bulldogs also moved into a new home, the 23,000-seat present-day facility named Tech Stadium, which was renamed Joe Aillet Stadium on Nov. 11, 1972, in memory of the Tech coach who had passed away the previous year. Lambright, Bradshaw and the Bulldogs ended the decade claiming the 1969 Gulf States Conference title with an 8-2 mark, the school’s last GSC championship. Forty-eight Bulldogs earned All-Gulf States Conference honors during the 1960s, while Bradshaw, Tom Causey, Jerry Griffin, Joe Hinton, John Williamson, and Mickey Slaughter all earned All-American honors. 1969: Grantland Rice Bowl Appearance Bradshaw was selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft following his 1969 senior year.

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

1987: Tech begins its move to I-A Tech played in the Southland Conference for the final time during the 1986 season as university President F. Jay Taylor’s goal was to leave what he called “mandated mediocrity” — Division I-AA. The Bulldogs competed as a Division I-AA independent in 1987 and 1988 during the “Movin’ Up” campaign. During those two seasons, the Bulldogs fought an uphill battle, playing road games against the likes of Baylor, Mississippi State, Texas A&M, Houston, Wyoming, Kansas State, Southern Mississippi and Florida State in an effort to meet Division I-A scheduling requirements. Another 6,000 seats were added to Joe Aillet Stadium as part of meeting those same requirements to move up to the next level. 1989: Tech gains I-A status Finally on Jan. 20, 1989, the call came from the NCAA, and at the football banquet that evening, the official acceptance into Division I-A football was announced by Tech President Dan Reneau. Tech officially began competing in the NCAA’s highest classification with the 1989 season opener at UL-Lafayette, a contest the Bulldogs won 40-14 on their way to a 5-4-1 record.

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.

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

Another building block at Louisiana Tech was Maxie Lambright. Lambright coached the 1972 Bulldogs to a 12-0 record as Louisiana Tech won the National Football Foundation national title with a 35-0 win over Tennessee Tech in the Grantland Rice Bowl. The following season, Lambright’s Bulldogs claimed the Division II national title defeating Western Kentucky 34-0 in the championship game. During his 12 years on the Tech sideline, Lambright amassed a mark of 95-36-2 while winning seven conference titles.

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.

2000-2009

1990-1999

Louisiana Tech finished its last season as a Division I-A Independent in 2000 with a 3-9 record. During the season, the Bulldogs played perennial powers such as Kansas State, Penn State, Auburn and Miami. Despite playing a difficult schedule, the Bulldogs were still one of the top offensive teams in the country, finishing 7th in the nation for passing offense.

Record: 60-49-3 (.536) Coaches: Joe Raymond Peace (1990-1995): Gary Crowton (1996-1998); Jack Bicknell (1999) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Division I-A Independent (1990-1992, 1996-1999)/none; Big West Conference (1993-1995)/none 1990: Independence Bowl Appearance Louisiana Tech football opened and closed the 1990s with a bang as the 1990 Bulldog team earned an Independence Bowl berth while the 1999 team earned the school’s first ever Associated Press Top 25 ranking. The 1990s also proved to be the decade for quarterbacks at Tech as the program produced two of the top signal callers in Bulldog history in Jason Martin and Tim Rattay. Coach Joe Raymond Peace led the 1990 Bulldogs, in only the school’s second year as Division I-A Independent, to an 8-3 record during the regular season and an invitation to the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La. The Bulldogs tied Maryland 34-34 in front of over 48,000 fans in one of the most exciting bowl games of the year. 1993: Tech joins Big West Conference The following season, the Peace-led Bulldogs dropped the opening game and then proceeded to win eight and tie two the rest of the year. After a 5-6 season in 1992, Tech joined the Big West Conference in an effort to help scheduling and secure a bowl tie. However, the Bulldogs’ three seasons in the conference never yielded much success as Peace’s squads compiled a 10-23 mark from 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.

2001: Tech joins Western Athletic Conference; Humanitarian Bowl Appearance The Bulldogs made a splash in their new conference by going 7-1 in league play and claiming the 2001 WAC Championship. Louisiana Tech overcame an early conference loss to win its last six conference games to take the WAC title. The championship earned the Bulldogs a berth in the 2001 Humanitarian Bowl, the school’s first bowl appearance since the 1990 Independence Bowl. Despite a 49-24 loss to Clemson in the Humanitarian Bowl, the season was still a success and proved that Louisiana Tech would be a foe to be reckoned within the Western Athletic Conference. Tech began the 2002 season by defeating eventual Houston Bowl participant and Big 12 foe Oklahoma State to open the season in a thrilling last minute 39-36 contest. However, Tech’s early non-conference schedule proved brutal with road losses to Clemson, No. 15 Penn State and No. 24 Texas A&M. For the seventh straight season the Bulldogs ranked in the nation’s top 10 in passing offense while senior running back Joe Smith earned first team All-WAC honors, becoming the first Tech player since 1994 to rush for over 1,000 yards. The 2003 season started with a nationally televised home contest against defending national champion Miami at Independence Stadium in Shreveport as a Bulldog home record crowd of 43,279 witnessed the historic event. And although the 2003 season didn’t go as planned with Tech finishing 5-7, the Bulldogs did have plenty of bright moments topped by Tech’s 20-19 come-from-behind road win over Michigan State, a team that went on to earn a Top 25 ranking and eventually earned a spot in the Alamo Bowl against Nebraska. Individual highlights included senior kicker Josh Scobee becoming Louisiana Tech’s second all-time scoring leader with 339 points. Senior quarterback Luke McCown finished his career ranked in the top 5 in NCAA Division I history in passing yards and total offense. 2004: Tech faces Top 25 schedule; Pulls upset over Fresno State Tough wouldn’t describe Louisiana Tech’s schedule in 2004 as the Bulldogs played seven games against eventual bowl-bound teams and six games against teams ranked in the Top 25 at one point of the season. And although Tech’s 6-6 record fell one game short of being bowl eligible, it was still an accomplishment. The biggest moment of 2004 came in Tech’s 28-21 win over No. 17 ranked Fresno State Oct. 2 at Joe Aillet Stadium. Running back Ryan Moats rushed for 236 yards and four scores and the Tech defense intercepted two passes late in the game to seal the victory. Moats shattered the school record with 1,774 yards rushing and 18 touchdowns before declaring himself eligible for the 2005 NFL Draft (third round, Philadelphia Eagles). 2008: Bulldogs Claim Independence Bowl Championship Title Louisiana Tech opened its season with a visit from Southeastern Conference foe Mississippi State, the first SEC team to ever come to Joe 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, going 7-5 in the regular season and 5-3 in the WAC which was good enough for a second place finish. Included in the seven regular season wins was a 21-0 shutout victory at San Jose State, the first shutout by a Tech team since 1996 and the first road shutout since 1988.

2010-Present Record: 35-28 (.556) Coaches: Sonny Dykes (2010-2012), Skip Holtz (2013-Present) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Division I-A/FBS Western Athletic Conference (2010-2012/One (2011); Conference USA (2013-Present)/ C-USA West Division (2014) Louisiana Tech began the Sonny Dykes era with high hopes for a high octane offense. The engine finally shifted gears midway through Dykes first season with a high offensive output in six of the team’s last seven games, including 683 total offensive yards against Idaho, then the 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. 2014: Bulldogs Claim C-USA West, Heart of Dallas Titles In the program’s second year as a member of Conference USA, Skip Holtz guided the Bulldogs to a C-USA West Division title and an appearance in the CUSA Championship game while moving on to the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl where Tech registered a 35-18 win over Illinois.

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 – 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 reentered the smoke-filled house in an apparent attempt to rescue him, not realizing the boy had escaped in a different direction. After the fire was extinguished and smoke had finally cleared, the boys went inside to see if the dog had indeed made it out to safety. But when they entered they found the lifeless bulldog lying in an unburned corner of one room. He had died from the smoke and the heat. Naturally, the young men were shaken due to the death of their new friend. So they picked him up and carried him to the place they had found him the previous day. They then dug a grave and wrapped him in two jackets – one red and the other blue. When the boys returned to school and related their story, the entire campus mourned the death of the homeless dog. The dog with no name had found a place in the hearts of Tech students. Two years later, Tech organized a football team and decided the team needed not only school colors, but a mascot. A unanimous decision was reached as the bulldog, the first hero of Tech, was given the honor and the red and blue blankets he was buried in were made the school colors.

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

TOMMY

MCCLELLAND Director of Athletics @TMcClelland Louisiana Tech boasts one of the rising young stars in the industry in Athletics Director Tommy McClelland, who enters his third 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 two years in north Louisiana have been successful ones. 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 $22 million Davison Athletics Complex located in the south endzone of Joe Aillet Stadium - the centerpiece of the University’s Quest for Excellence capital campaign. McClelland completed the fundraising needed for the project, and the new facility opened in August of 2015. The three-story facility, 70,000-plus square foot building benefits all of Louisiana Tech’s student-athletes; it includes a new state-of-the-art strength and conditioning complex utilized by all 16 of the University’s athletic programs. The building also houses 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. It will generate an additional $500,000 annually in revenue. Another marquee addition to the Louisiana Tech athletic facilities during McClelland’s tenure is the $1.2 million Paul Millsap Vision presented by Community Trust Bank, a high definition video display board in the Thomas Assembly Center. The project also included a customized sound system for the Thomas Assembly Center and a video board control room, which will be utilized for both football and basketball. These two major facility improvements and additional smaller scale projects were made possible through a pair of record-setting years in fundraising. During the 2013-14 fiscal year, McClelland spearheaded the efforts in raising more than $10.8 million through both LTAC and Quest for Excellence; more than double any previous year in Tech Athletics history. Included in the record total were five, seven-figure gifts. The 2014-15 fiscal year saw record totals in Louisiana Tech Athletic Club (LTAC) unrestricted donations -- both in dollar figures and in total number of donors. It also included increases in ticket sales in football, men’s and women’s basketball. Tech had plenty of success stories on the playing fields during the past two years, led by the Bulldog basketball team winning back-to-back Conference USA regular season titles and advancing into the NIT with impressive road wins over SEC foe Georgia (2014) and Texas A&M (2015). The Dunkin’ Dawgs tied the program single season wins record (29) in 2014 and totaled 56 wins during the two year span. On the gridiron, the Bulldog football team captured the Conference USA West Division title in 2014, recording a 9-5 overall record and barely falling to Marshall in the C-USA title game. Tech earned an invitation to the Heart of Dallas Bowl and promptly defeated Big 10 foe Illinois 35-18. In addition to the men’s basketball and football successes, 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. Firstyear 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 and Lubbock region the past two years. 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 brought instant national notoriety back to the program and led a senior-laden to a winning record in year No. 1 while beginning the process of changing the culture. Summitt and the Techsters were featured by national outlets such as CBS 60-Minute Sports, NBC Nightly News, USA Today, ESPN.com, ESPN SportsCenter, New York Times, Sports Illustrated and more. 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. In year No. 1 at Tech, Goff guided the Bulldogs to within one game of a .500 record, which was a 10-game improvement in the win column over the previous season. Prior to coming to Ruston, McClelland made a national name for himself after quickly elevating to the athletics director position at age 26. He earned high praise from a number of high-profile, experienced athletic administrators. “Tommy McClelland is an outstanding leader and one of the nation’s rising stars in intercollegiate athletics,” said Bubba Cunningham, athletics director at the University of North Carolina. “He has a demonstrated commitment to supporting and developing his coaches and student-athletes and has already become well-known among ADs for his leadership, vision and character. Tommy has also shown a dedication to lifelong learning and the application of his skills and talents to making his athletic programs better.” Prior to being named athletic director at McNeese State on March 19, 2008, McClelland served as interim athletic director and assistant athletic director of internal affairs at the university. In his time at McNeese, McClelland and his staff had numerous success stories when it came to increased revenue streams and the overall game-day experience in Lake Charles. He raised more than $3 million in private donations, and he was instrumental in increasing corporate sponsorships to nearly $1 million, while securing new clients and multi-year sponsorships. McClelland was also responsible for increasing football season ticket sales: the program eclipsed the 8,000 mark in 2008 with a high of 8,035 in 2009. In addition, he was instrumental in setting single-game attendance records in baseball, volleyball, softball, soccer, women’s basketball and women’s tennis. “Tommy is a rising star in the college athletics administration field and, in my view, the ideal leader to advance Louisiana Tech’s athletics program as it transitions into Conference USA,” said Ian McCaw, athletics director at Baylor University. “He possesses impeccable integrity and has an extraordinary work ethic. Moreover, his interpersonal and relational skills are outstanding and will enable him to quickly connect with Bulldog fans as well as campus and community leaders.” One of McClelland’s main goals was to improve the life of the student-

HUNGATE Deputy Athletics Director/ Senior Woman Administrator

Deputy Athletics Director and Senior Woman Administrator Mary Kay Hungate enters her 30th 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. 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 appearance in the WAC Tournament in 2010 and the program’s first postseason win in the 2014 Conference USA Tournament. She has also been involved in the hiring of a number of other highly successful coaches, including current Lady Techster basketball coach Ty-

ler 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 seventh 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 81 percent and a Federal Graduation Rate (FGR) of 60 percent, which both were improvements over last year’s numbers. Louisiana Tech’s 81 percent graduation success rate ranks as the second highest in the state among Division I football-playing public institutions. LA Tech’s graduation success rate is one percentage points higher than last year’s (80) and easily outdistances the state average of 69 percent among the other nine Division I football-playing public institutions in the state of Louisiana. Tech also recorded the second highest federal graduation rate of any Division I football-playing public institution in the state at 60 percent, which also bests last year’s mark of 59 percent. The success of Louisiana Tech’s student-athletes in the classroom was across the board as 14 of the 16 Division I sanctioned athletic programs recorded at least a 70 percent GSR led by men’s golf, women’s basketball and women’s tennis with 100 percent scores. The Lady Techster basketball team’s GSR ranked first in the state (tied with Tulane and Centenary) and first in C-USA (tied with Rice and Middle Tennessee). One of the most impressive numbers in comparison to program’s across the country was posted by the Bulldog football team which recorded a 77 percent GSR, which ranks first in the state of Louisiana among public institutions and fourth among all Conference USA programs (behind only Rice, UTSA and Middle Tennessee). Hungate also plays an important role in LA Tech’s NCAA Certification process. As a member of the Steering Committee and the liaison between the athletic department and the University’s Self Study Committees, she provides the information needed for the committees to write their reports. In 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 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. In addition, 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.

athletes and increase the game-day experience for the McNeese State fan base. One of the most effective ways to accomplish these goals was by improving the facilities. During his time at McNeese State, he oversaw a combined total of over $11 million dollars in facility renovation and new construction. The combination of increased revenue streams, renovations and new construction, and a highly-involved fan base led to plenty of success stories on the playing fields. During his tenure as athletic director, McNeese won Southland Conference championships in football (2007, 2009), soccer (2006, tournament; 2007, regular season), softball (2010, tournament; 2013, regular season), men’s basketball (2011, regular season), women’s basketball (2011, regular season; 2011 and 2012 tournament) and men’s cross country (2012). The women’s basketball program made its first appearances ever in the NCAA Tournament, and the men’s basketball program hosted the first round of the NIT postseason tournament (Boston College live on ESPNU). Even more impressive is the fact that while the Cowboy and Cowgirl programs were capturing titles on the fields, the University’s student-athletes were making tremendous strides in the classroom. In five of McClelland’s six years as athletics director, McNeese State led the Southland Conference in the number of student-athletes named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. In addition, McClelland guided the resurgence in APR success in Lake Charles. The number of athletic programs boasting the required APR score of 925 went from four in his first year to all 16 in his final year. The community service hours performed by the MSU student-athletes also tripled to more than 3,000 during his tenure. “Tommy has a great knowledge of college athletics and excels at helping his student-athletes balance and succeed in their commitments to academics and athletics,” said Warde Manuel, athletics director at the University of Connecticut. “Tommy has also proven his ability to work effectively with coaches and administrators to help his programs be successful.” McClelland earned his bachelor’s degree from Northwestern State in 2004 and completed his master’s degree in sports administration in 2005. He walked on with the Demons football team and eventually earned a scholarship; he also competed in the javelin for the NSU track and field team. The native of Basile, Louisiana served as a graduate assistant at Northwestern State in athletics and also worked at the Southland Conference office as an administrative intern, assisting with championship events. McClelland is also a 2012 graduate of the Executive Program of the Sports Management Institute and attended instruction at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler Business School and the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business. McClelland is married to the former Jessica Stokes of Garrison, Texas. They have two sons, Lawson (5) and Grayson (4).
