Bulldogs Showing Their Bark
The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs are looking to bounce back after losing last week to the LSU Tigers on the road, 23-7. The offense is struggling as they are averaging 15.5 points per game up to this point. Quarterback Trey Kukuk has not done too much passing the football as he completed 26-of-37 (70.3%) of his passes for 180 yards with a passing touchdown. He ran the ball well with 21 rushes for 33 yards (3.0 yards per carry) without any rushing touchdowns. The team needs to figure out how to run the ball more effectively as running back Clay Thevenin has 13 carries for 83 yards (6.4 yards per attempt) with one rushing touchdown.
The defense has dominated as they are giving up 11.5 points per game so far this season. The defense recorded seven sacks, three interceptions, three forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery. If the offense can wake up, this team could take a massive step forward.

Over/Under Pick for New Mexico State Aggies vs. Louisiana Tech Bulldogs
- Under 43.5 (4 units)
The juice is on the over, but again, Louisiana Tech’s offense has failed to really do much of anything consistently. The Bulldogs were able to look sharp defensively though last week as they faced a significantly superior program in the LSU Tigers and were not embarrassed. Both teams have not hit the over this season, so the offenses are not going to be lighting the world on fire. Take under 43.5 total points as the better option with these defenses leading the way.
