Louisiana Tech vs Stephen F. Austin Game Preview

Why Stephen F. Austin Will Win

It’s been a bit of a rough start for the Lumberjacks with a blowout loss to Jacksonville State to start the season and with a struggle to get by Alcorn State.

They’re better than this.

They’ve got a good defense with a great pass rush that should start to show up more effectively this week – at least that’s the hope – and on the other side they need to keep doing a decent job of controlling the clock.

They had the ball for close to 37 minutes against Alcorn State, overcoming a mediocre day from the D with plenty of third down stops, and now …

– CFN Expert Picks, Week 2

Why Louisiana Tech Will Win

Yeah, Louisiana Tech couldn’t slow down Missouri in the 52-24 loss, but the offense showed glimpses of what’s coming in the Sonny Cumbie era.

The quarterbacks combined to throw for 336 yards and three scores, the big plays and explosion were there, and this is all going to work with a little bit of time and seasoning. That’s what this game is for.

Stephen F. Austin should have a decent defense, but it didn’t do anything to stop either team from running in the first two games. That’s not Louisiana Tech, but it needs to at least give it a shot.

– Week 2 Schedule, Predictions, Game Preview

What’s Going To Happen

Can the Stephen F. Austin team that pushed Texas Tech really, really hard last year in a 28-22 loss show up here?

Not if it played like it did in the first two games.

The running production will be there for the taking, but the Bulldogs will end up throwing and throwing some more as the Cumbie attack starts to roll. The Lumberjacks will put up a few points, but the home side will pull away late in the third quarter.

Missouri vs Louisiana Tech Game Preview

Why Louisiana Tech Will Win

Here comes the offense.

New head coach Sonny Cumbie will get hs offense to throw and throw some more – former TCU transfer Matthew Downing and Texas Tech transfer Parker McNeil are still battling for the high-profile starting quarterback gig – with the receiving corps good enough to give the Tiger secondary problems.

The Louisiana Tech offensive line spent last year rebuilding, and now the payoff should come with a slew of potential Conference USA all-stars up front. Missouri has the talent on defense, but it has to be far better than the 2021 version. However …

– Week 1 Expert Picks, Thursday & Friday

Why Missouri Will Win

The Louisiana Tech defense has a long, long way to go to be just okay.

The offense will be fine. It might take a little bit – the Mizzou pass rush and defensive front should be a problem for the Bulldogs – but other side of the ball will be all about the pass rush.

The new Louisiana Tech coaching staff will turn everyone loose to get into the backfield, and that means the big plays should be there for the taking. As long as QB Brady Cook gets a little bit of time, he’s got the dangerous playmakers who should get down the field.

– Week 1 Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews, Thursday & Friday

What’s Going To Happen

Louisiana Tech has the parts and experience in place to make this interesting. If the passing game clicks right away, look out.

This might not be the close call the Bulldog 35-34 loss to Mississippi State game to open last year turned out to be, but everyone will be entertained.

The Mizzou lines should be able to do enough to force a win with two good scoring drives in the second half and two big defensive stops, but it’s going to be more of a fight than the SEC side might like.

Conference USA Preseason Predictions For Every Game: Preview 2022

Conference USA preseason predictions for every game, predicted order of finish, and lookahead to the 2022 season.

Just how much does it hurt Conference USA to lose Marshall, Old Dominion, and Southern Miss to the Sun Belt this season?

The league had to quickly scramble this offseason to change up its schedule, it’s having to do even more to keep the business going with Charlotte, FAU, North Texas, Rice, UAB and UTSA bolting in 2023 – Liberty, New Mexico State, Sam Houston and Jacksonville State will enter the fun – and all of that will likely be the main focus of the 2022 season.

And then UAB, UTSA and WKU should be the stars of the conference again.

Where’s the big surprise going to come from?

The problem is that too many schedules have too many tough non-conference games, but it should be entertaining as several teams will likely be fighting for bowl eligibility over the final few weeks.

Knowing there’s going to be a crazy outlier to screw this all up, here are the 2022 Conference USA preseason predictions.

Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Preview 2022

Now we get to see what the master coordinator can do running his own show.

Sonny Cumbie did what he could last year at Texas Tech, stepping in for the fired Matt Wells late in the season and did enough to lead the way to a bowl appearance and win. Now he gets his first full-time head coaching gig, and now Louisiana Tech is going to have a whole lot of fun.

At least the offense is going to be a whole lot of fun.

It might take a little while for the high-octane passing style to find its groove, but in a rebuilding year Louisiana Tech took its lumps at several positions and now has enough veterans and good players to build around to make this all go.

There hasn’t been a conference championship since 2011, just that one since 2001, and just those two since 1984. There was success over the years under Skip Holtz, but the program couldn’t get over the hump even though it got to two Conference USA championship games.

How do you turn around a 3-9 team fast? You crank up the pressure on both sides of the ball.

The offense is going to attack, the defense is going to attack, and this is going to be one of those teams that makes everyone else in the conference worry.

Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Preview 2022: Offense

Again, 2021 was supposed to be a bit of a rebuilding year, but it wasn’t supposed to be so much of a struggle. The defense was the bigger problem, but the offense didn’t consistently do enough to help the cause.

The O got relatively decent blocking, but the running game wasn’t good enough, the passing attack wasn’t efficient enough, and there were WAY too many turnovers. There are going to be changes, but first …

It would help if the Bulldogs had a quarterback who was ready to be THE GUY. Parker McNeil is a big bomber who started at Troy and spent last year as a backup at Texas Tech – Cumbie knows what he can do.

Former Georgia Bulldog and TCU Horned Frog Matthew Downing at least has a wee bit of experience. Andrew Brister – Bubby’s kid – is on the roster. Someone has to grab the gig in fall camp.

The quarterback situation might be up in the air, but the receivers are there. Smoke Harris is a 5-6 baller who led the way with 71 catches and six scores, Tre Harris is a 6-2 deep threat who caught 41 passes, and Griffin Herbert is a good veteran who fits the new attack.

The offensive line is a plus. The all-star combination of Joshua Mote at one guard spot and Abraham Delfin at center is a great place to start in the interior, and Dakota White is a good-looking tackle on one side.

The passing game might be the star of the offense, and leading rusher Marcus Williams is done, but Greg Garner should be solid with more work and former Vanderbilt transfer Keyon Henry-Brooks should be more of a factor.

Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Preview 2022: Defense

The defense might need to go several miles to merely be okay, but at least this bunch will be turned loose to try to make a whole lot of big plays. New defensive coordinator Scott Power comes in from Stephen F. Austin where his defense lived behind the line and came up with a whole lot of takeaways.

Experience is going to mean something here – and there’s all-star power to work around – from a group that was 106th in the nation in total defense 114th in scoring D.

There wasn’t enough of a pass rush last season, but again, the new coaching staff is going to go out of its way to make sure the D gets into the backfield. Leading sacker Ben Bell might be in the transfer portal, but he only came up with 3.5 sacks.

301-pound Keivie Rose is a good one on the nose, Mykol Clark earned all-star honors at one end, and the back seven is going to help make big things happen, too, starting with …

Linebacker Tyler Grubbs led the team in tackles and tackles for loss. He’s the best of the bunch with new parts filling in for second-leading tackler Trey Baldwin and the speedy Ezekiel Barnett.

The secondary has a good playmaker in safety BeeJay Williamson and a returning starter in corner Cedric Woods. Expect more out of this group if the pass rush really does rise up.

Oklahoma offers 2023 4-star DL Johnny Bowens, a former Texas A&M commit

Oklahoma offers four-star defensive line prospect Johnny Bowens out of Converse, Texas, who recently decommitted from Texas A&M.

Oklahoma is picking up some serious momentum on the recruiting trail and they look to capitalize on it in any way they can. While they might have started slow, the Sooners have a plan and are content to let that plan manifest itself. Aside from quarterback, every position group could very well use another commitment or two in the Sooners’ 2023 recruiting class.

There is currently no defensive line commits for 2023 but Oklahoma continues to recruit and reach out to prospects almost daily. The latest defensive line prospect they issued an offer to was four-star DL Johnny Bowens. Bowens hails from Judson High School in Converse, Texas.

Bowens was previously committed to Texas A&M but backed off the commitment on June 28th. The Sooners swooped in with the offer on June 29th.

At 6-foot-2 and 265 pounds, Bowens was a Texas 27-6A first-team all-district selection at DE as a junior. He plays multiple spots along the defensive front lining up with his hand in the ground, rushing standing up, and playing in the interior as well. That versatility will serve him well in college as modern defenses love positional flexibility from their defensive linemen.

While the Sooners are getting a late start, they have a chance here. They also have the added bonus of having already seen Bowens before as they’ve scouted his high school well considering they are also recruiting his high school teammate wide receiver Anthony Evans. The Sooners are looking for a rare two recruits from one high school in the same class. It won’t be easy but the next step is getting Bowens on campus

It’s a new world for Conference USA with the loss of Marshall, Old Dominion, and Southern Miss over to the Sun Belt. There are still plenty of good teams still around, but the league is hanging on through the expansion process.

Can 2021’s star teams keep it all going? UTSA and WKU won’t be quite as good, UAB should be strong, and UTEP might just keep on stunning.

If Florida Atlantic can rise up after a down season, and if North Texas and Middle Tennessee can be bowl-worthy again, it should be a fun run.

The rankings are based on how good the teams should be and not the final projected records. Keeping in mind that this all could/might/will change when we make the final calls in August …

Devonta Lee revealed his transfer destination on Saturday

Devonta Lee announced that he won’t be going far.

Devonta Lee was just one of five wide receivers that were looking to transfer from the LSU football program.

Lee entered the transfer portal on Jan. 14, 2022. Just two weeks later he announced his destination. The 2019 signee will be staying in Louisiana as he chose to head to Louisiana Tech. The Bulldogs have a new head coach with former Texas Tech offensive coordinator Sonny Cumbie taking the reigns of the program. The long-time assistant is getting his first chance to run his own program.

Cumbie is getting a big-time receiver in Devonta Lee. He might not have played much in Purple and Gold but he is talented. Coming out of Amite, Louisiana, Lee was a four-star prospect and the No. 8 athlete in the country. He will get a clean slate with his new team.

Devonta Lee shared his decision on Twitter.

It is possible that Lee could be receiving passes from former Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Matthew Downing. Downing announced he would be joining the Bulldogs on Dec. 17, 2021. It appears that new head coach Sonny Cumbie is starting off his first year as a head coach with some weapons at his disposal.

How to watch, listen, stream LSU vs Louisiana Tech

How to tune in for LSU-LA Tech on Saturday

The No. 19 LSU Tigers take Lousiana Tech on Saturday night. It will be the toughest test for the unbeaten Tigers this season. Lousiana Tech is 8-2 early in the season.

LSU has been winning with tough defense; right now, they have one of the top defenses in the country. In years past, LSU was known for offense and mediocre defense. They only allow teams to shoot 25.7% from beyond the arc. Tari Eason and Darius Days lead the Tigers in scoring. Eason is averaging 15.8 and Days 14.6 points per game.

The Bulldogs come into the game lacing, size, which hurts them on the boards and rebounding. But Louisana Tech does an excellent job of not turning over the ball. The Bulldogs will need to make this a fast-paced game to have a chance.

Lousiana Tech is led by Kenneth Lofton Jr., the son of former baseball player Kenny Lofton. The younger Lofton averages 19.1 points and 11.1 rebounds per game. He will need to have a huge game to pull off the upset.
