Why Louisiana Tech Will Win
Louisiana Tech has had a rough run, with postponed/cancelled games and COVID concerns keeping the program from getting its season going.
As bad as things have been for the promising Bulldog program, at least it didn’t start out like Southern Miss.
The Golden Eagles got rolled at home by South Alabama, was sucking wind by the third quarter, couldn’t get the running game working, lost, and then head coach Jay Hopson resigned. It’s now Scotty Walden’s thing to fix.
The Southern Miss defensive front did nothing against South Alabama, and the offensive line had major issues for the ground game. The Bulldogs have the passing game to get off to a hot start, but …
Why Southern Miss Will Win
The Louisiana Tech lines are going to be an early issue.
It wasn’t all that great in pass protection last year, and now it has to replace three starters. The defensive line has to undergo an overhaul, too, and has to find new parts for all the lost top tacklers. It’s going to be a bit to restock the Louisiana Tech shelves.

What’s Going To Happen
Louisiana Tech has way, way too many new parts getting their first starts.
Southern Miss might be ragged, and the lines aren’t going to all of a sudden be magical a few weeks after the debacle to start the season, but the passing game will be terrific against the revamped Louisiana Tech secondary in a rough game with neither side looking great.
