RUSTON*- Louisiana Tech will look for its first 3-0 home start since 2019 when the Bulldogs host Southern Miss at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Origin Bank Field at Joe Aillet Stadium. Both teams enter the matchup with 2-1 records after convincing wins last weekend. The game will air on ESPN+.

Go Tech! Beat those Mustard Buzzards!
Off to a good start! First TD on the board.
About time they got 84 more involved. He's like two feet taller and a foot wider than most of the defenses we're facing.
(Exaggerated for effect.)
If anyone there is here, does the ref's mic work?
Why in the HELL can't Tech officials get the "white hat" ref's mic to work? This is another one of those STUPID things we face every damn week. Tech officials need to get the mic fixed or go get a job someone else.
Nice pick 6! Terrible PAT.
I’ve watched high school games with one camera do a better productionQuote:

Nice to see some big plays and consistency in the Dawgs’ play. No letup please.
Everybody at Tech is playing good football so far. No turnovers, no killer penalties, no huge mistakes........we need a 2nd half just like the first one.Quote:

LOL!! It’s funny you say that, because I was just telling my son about that game. I remember us going up 34-7 with 8 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter, only to lose 35-34.Quote:

I put my favorite Tech cap under the tire of our car before we drove off that night after the game. I was young and had already experienced way too much heartbreak for a football fan lol.Quote:

Tech has a 26-yd punt.
We was snapping the ball with 20+ seconds on the play clock EVERY PLAY so Dykes could reach his 100 play threshold that he said was necessary to win.Quote:

I noticed too that we need to do a better job covering receivers down field and especially #9.
Looks like we playing in Nam thanks to all the fireworks
Did Cumbie decide to takeover coaching the game?
I guess LA Tech has forgotten about Finley.
It's SO SILLY to be shooting fireworks at halftime. Who comes up with this shit? Seriously?Quote:

The old Tech that we all know has decided to reappear in the second half.
They’ve done this since nsu loss with fireworks afterQuote:

Great D there!!! Don’t let up!
Need a couple of first downs to give the defense a little rest
I can’t understand a word Madison says on those sideline reports. It just sounds like squawk, squawk, squawk.
PBP guy’s voice is not strong.
McCown comes through loud and clear. He should give lessons to the others.
Our PxP guy is not one.
Anytime someone says "we got them now" I bring up this exact game. Horrible to witness in personQuote:

WTF did Cumbie do to everyone during halftime?
If we don't score on this drive I'm predicting a So. Miss comeback. Losing momentum, rivalry game, and So. Miss owns us.
I'm just wondering why we have so many players "slipping" tonight? It's been happening all night. You would think these guys were playing on black ice.
The Bulldogs need to score. We keep ending drives early. Defense is playing well but they cannot win the game by themselves.
The Holtz effect is happening but maybe it’s too weak to take over.
Whatever this is, it's even worse.Quote:

Our HC acting a fool on the 4th down stop by the defense. So embarrassing.
First half was wonderful. Second half was pitiful. Defense did great, even with numerous mistakes. Offense was terrible. Two first downs in second half. TWO.
Offense is fine but needs work. Defense has won every game so far
USM beating us 10-0 in the second half.
Typhoid Teddy tries the jinx the Dawgs talking about USM’s crazy comeback. Thanks a lot. Good thing Techs controls the onside.
Victory over USM!
It’s nice to be winners again.
Another notch in the Rivalry in Dixie! Ya gotta love it
30-20 Tech
I’ll take it. Unexpected, and lucky the second half offense no-show didn’t bite us.
Glad to get the win 30-20 but where was the offense in the second half? Look forward to being conference mates with USM. This will be the hardest game of the year going forward.
I’ve seen enough to up my prediction for the season to 7-5 or 8-4. We’re stuck with Cumbie for a while folks.

Our schedule is incredibly weak. I know LSU is first, but USM might turn out to be the second-best team we face all year. WKU is pretty good, as is Delaware. But Washington State sucks big time and that is a very winnable game even on the road. UNT smoked WSU 55-9. Right now, our next opponent, UTEP, is getting smoked by ulm. CUSA is very, very weak.
But, the defense can only do so much. They are bound to have at least one WTF game, and maybe another sub-par game due to fatigue! The offense has to come out for the 2nd half too.
Any "W" is a good "W" especially against USM.
Go Dawgs!
Our defense is the real deal. I thought our offense was very decent in the 1st half, but it looked like we just put it in cruise control for the whole second half. We can't just depend on defense and stop playing aggressively.
Yes. Like with Holtz, we didn't "step on their neck". Using the RPO in the 4th quarter when it was being read EVERY play was crazy. Take the option away from the QB or risk losing him with an injury.Quote:

Why don"t I feel great about beating the Mustard Buzzards? The answer is, that second half brought back too many memories of the last 6 years! We go into the locker room at half and decided to become a totally different team.....both defensively and offensively, although the defense was shaky in the passing game in the first half as well.
Not to be any kind of comfort, but NLU pulled a Tech last night as well. They bombed in the second half against UTEP after being in control and almost lost! We need Gary Crowton back!
I'm convinced that when it was obvious that LA Tech was going to win, Sonny Cumby decided to make the game as ugly as possible so Tech fans couldn't enjoy it and won't want to come back. I'm telling you, it was THAT UGLY in the 2nd half. I think we had 6 straight punts? :icon_roll:. Folks, that's ugly!Quote:

What other explanation is there for all the games when Tech was doing so well and then mysteriously they weren’t and the games that were essentially won until they were lost in the end in the most inexplicable was?
