Conference USA enjoys a far-reaching fan base with its 14 members: Charlotte, FIU, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana Tech, Marshall, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Old Dominion, Rice, Southern Miss, UAB, UTEP, UTSA and WKU.

The league promotes the scholar-athlete ideal, honoring outstanding achievement with numerous conference-sponsored academic awards, including the Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Commissioner’s Academic Medal as well as sport-specific All-Academic teams.

C-USA annually awards $4,000 postgraduate scholarships, along with the Sport Academic Awards, Scholar-Athletes of the Year and the Institutional Aca-demic Excellence Award.

C-USA ON TVC-USA enjoys significant television exposure through partnerships with FOX Sports Media Group, CBS Sports Network and ESPN. The multi-tiered

selection process that is rooted in partnering with all three networks has substantially increased the number of national and regional appearances for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and all other conference sports.

C-USA membership include institutions within eight of the Top 40 media markets and four in the Top 25 according to Nielsen. C-USA home markets this year will include more than 13 million TV households, a 30 percent increase from two years ago.

C-USA DIGITAL NETWORKThe C-USA Digital Network officially launched in August of 2011. Network programming includes live streaming of non-televised events, video on

demand, a weekly C-USA studio show, podcasting, regular-season and championship event highlights, and conference-produced feature stories. 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 COMMUNITYThe conference’s current footprint is concentrated with 14 members in 10 states and a combined area population of nearly 30 million. With a com-

mitment 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 organiza-tions. Individually, student-athletes are recognized each season through the Spirit of Service award.

GOVERNANCEConference USA has significant representation in the NCAA governance structure. The presidents of the member institutions serve as the league’s

Board of Directors.

A PROUD HISTORYConference USA was formed in 1995 and quickly emerged as one of the nation’s top conferences. The conference unveiled its name, logo and com-

missioner April 24, 1995, in Chicago. The league’s charter members included Charlotte, Cincinnati, DePaul, Houston, Louisville, Marquette, Memphis, Saint Louis, Southern Miss, Tulane, UAB and USF. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participation in 1995, while Houston joined competition in the fall of 1996.

The league’s headquarters were established in Chicago and, after nine years, relocated to the current office in Irving, Texas. Britton Banowsky was named Commissioner in October 2002, succeeding Mike Slive, the league’s first commissioner.

C-USA added East Carolina (September, 1996) and the United States Military Academy (March, 1997) as football members. ECU began league com-petition in 1997; Army in 1998 and UAB began football play in 1999. The league added TCU and ECU (1999) for all sports and they began competition in 2001. USF started C-USA football in 2003. Marshall, Rice, SMU, Tulsa, UCF and UTEP became full-time Conference USA members for all sports in 2005.

In 2013, charter member Charlotte returned to C-USA and was joined by new members FIU, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana Tech, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Old Dominion and UTSA. The membership is at 14 institutions with WKU joining the league on July 1, 2014.

Oklahoma 48, Louisiana Tech 16August 30, 2014

Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, Norman, Okla.

NORMAN, Okla. - Oklahoma entered Saturday night’s game ranked as high as No. 3 and the Sooners showed why, rolling up 436 yards of offense in a 48-16 win over Louisiana Tech in front of 85,063 at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman.

In his first career start, LA Tech’s Cody Sokol threw for 191 yards and two touchdowns in a 22-for-36 performance, throwing only one interception. The Bulldogs ended up winning the turnover battle as Oklahoma’s Trevor Knight was intercepted by Houston Bates while Vontarrius Dora recovered an OU fumble.

The Sooners were paced by five touchdowns scored on the ground by three Okla-homa running backs while Knight was 19-for-34 for 253 yards with one touchdown pass.

Kentrell Brice led the Bulldog defense with nine total tackles (six solo, three assisted) while Le’Vander Liggins added seven solo tackles.

The Sooners often controlled the line of scrimmage, racking up 183 yards on the ground while a tough defense held Tech’s talented running backs to a total 54 yards on 29 attempts on the ground.

Oklahoma scored on its first drive of the game but needed a 4th down conversion to keep its initial drive alive. Keith Ford ran for a 22-yard score with 10:22 left in the first quarter after Trevor Knight’s pass to Dimitri Flowers bailed the Sooners out of a 4th-and-short situ-ation in Tech territory.

On its next possession, OU drove 54 yards in five plays in a drive that was capped off by a Sterling Shepard 16-yard touchdown catch from Knight to give OU the 14-0 lead.

In his first field goal attempt on the collegiate level, LA Tech’s Jonathan Barnes had a 51-yard attempt blocked by Oklahoma as the Sooners ran it back to the Tech 42-yard line. That eventually set up a five-yard touchdown run by Ford to give OU the 21-0 advantage with 33 seconds left in the first half.

A Sokol interception early in the second quarter gave Oklahoma the ball at midfield and the Sooners would drive to the Tech 22-yard line but a big hit by Xavier Woods at the line of scrimmage followed by an incomplete pass by Knight would force Oklahoma’s Michael Hunnicutt to kick a 39-yard field goal for the 24-0 Sooner lead.

Near the end of the half, Oklahoma would drive down again and score, this time the touchdown coming off of a one-yard run by Alex Ross.

Tech would finally get on the board with eight seconds left as Jonathan Barnes con-nected on a 36-yard field goal.

Oklahoma struck quickly in the second half as Alex Ross scored on an eight-yard run. The Sooners reached the end zone in only 1:29, driving 75 yards in five plays.

Tech’s defense had held OU to 4th-and-long with the Sooners set to punt but an il-legal substitution flag on the Bulldogs gave OU 4th-and-3 instead of 4th-and-8. The short distance prompted Oklahoma to pull its punter off the field and the Sooners converted the fourth down. The Bulldogs would still hold OU to a field goal as Hunnicutt connected on a 37-yard kick, giving the Sooners the 41-3 lead.

LA Tech mounted a nine-play, 59-yard drive in a four-plus minute time span that straddled the third and fourth quarters with Kenneth Dixon breaking a tackle and back flip-ping into the end zone for a touchdown with 14:49 left in the game.

The Sooners would respond with Ross running the kickoff back 80 yards to set up the seven-yard touchdown run by Samaje Perine three plays later as OU extended its lead to 48-10.

The Bulldogs added one more score as Trent Taylor caught a diving 22-yard touch-down pass from Sokol with less than a minute to go in the game while Oklahoma blocked Jonathan Barnes’ extra point attempt.

Louisiana Tech 48, UL-Lafayette 20September 6, 2014

Cajun Field, Lafayette, La.

LAFAYETTE, La. - For Louisiana Tech, it was just another Louisiana Saturday Night. LA Tech (1-1) racked up 533 yards of offense and never trailed while Kenneth Dixon set a new Tech and Conference USA record for the longest rush as the Bulldogs ran by in-state rival Louisiana-Lafayette (1-1), 48-20, Saturday night in front of 25,607 fans at Cajun Field.

The win extended Tech’s winning streak over ULL to seven games, the longest by either side in an in-state rivalry that dates back to 1910. Tech now leads the overall series, 47-33-6, in Louisiana’s second-longest standing rivalry among in-state teams.

Dixon’s 99-yard touchdown run marked the first score in the game and the longest rush by any Louisiana Tech or Conference USA player in history. The junior running back would run for 184 yards and two touchdowns.

Quarterback Cody Sokol was impressive behind center, passing for 295 yards and two touchdowns in a 22-for-33 performance.

Overall, Louisiana Tech forced three turnovers with a pick-six by Xavier Woods and fumble recoveries by Le’Vander Liggins and Lloyd Grogan.

C.J. Cleveland led the Bulldogs defensively with 14 total tackles, 10 unassisted and four assisted, while Bryson Abraham and Woods each had six total tackles to help lead LA Tech to a victory.

With just over four minutes remaining in the first quarter, ULL pinned LA Tech deep on a punt, downing the ball on Tech’s one-yard line, but on the first play of the drive Dixon took the ball and raced 99 yards untouched to give the Bulldogs the 7-0 lead. Dixon’s run set a new school and Conference USA record for the longest rush.

UL-Lafayette responded on its next drive as Alonzo Harris punched in the tying touch-down from six yards out on the first play of the second quarter.

After trading possessions, Louisiana Tech’s Tony Johnson forced a turnover on downs as ULL attempted a 4th-and-1 conversion on LA Tech’s 39-yard line. Following that stop, the Bulldogs drove down the field for a score capped off by Hunter Lee’s 16-yard touchdown catch from Sokol as the Bulldogs took a 14-7 lead with 4:33 left in the first half. Lee was re-sponsible for 45 yards receiving on four catches in that nine-play, 61-yard drive.

The Bulldogs would add to their lead in the first half as Jonathan Barnes kicked a 28-yard field goal with 10 seconds remaining in the second quarter giving Tech the 17-7 lead, the Bulldogs first halftime lead since a 36-13 win over Southern Miss in the Rivalry in Dixie last year in Ruston.

On the second play from scrimmage in the second half, Sokol connected with Ster-ling Griffin for a 78-yard touchdown pass - a career-long mark for both players - as Tech took the 24-7 lead just 49 seconds into the half.

Louisiana-Lafayette was mounting a drive in the third quarter before Woods picked off Terrance Broadway and ran it back 46 yards for a touchdown with 3:45 left in the third quarter.

Dixon would not be done for the night as he would run for a touchdown from 32 yards out with 13:32 left in the game, giving the Bulldogs a 38-7 lead.

After Grogan forced and recovered a fumble, the Bulldogs were set up for Barnes to kick a 42-yard field goal with 11:03 left in the game, edging Tech’s lead out to 41-7.

ULL would finally strike back in the fourth quarter as Broadway found Effrem Reed for a 20-yard touchdown pass to cut LA Tech’s lead to 41-14 with 9:34 remaining in the game.

Louisiana Tech continued to tack on points later in the fourth as the Bulldogs put to-gether an 11-play, 75-yard drive, which resulted in a two-yard rushing touchdown by Jarred Craft to make it 48-14 in favor of LA Tech.

The Ragin’ Cajuns completed the scoring for the night as ULL’s Brooks Haack con-nected with Gabe Fuselier for a four-yard touchdown as time expired to make it a 48-20 final score.

Louisiana Tech 42, North Texas 21September 11, 2014

Apogee Stadium, Denton, Texas

DENTON, Texas - Cody Sokol threw five touchdown passes and Louisiana Tech’s of-fense came alive again as the Bulldogs showed their road grit for the second time in five days by rolling over North Texas, 42-21, in front of 16,998 at Apogee Stadium in Denton Thursday night.

Sokol connected with eight different Bulldog receivers to claim the first Conference USA victory of the season as the senior was 20-for-31 on the night with 243 yards and five touchdowns, including two touchdown passes to Paul Turner, as LA Tech (2-1, 1-0 C-USA) never trailed North Texas (1-2, 0-1 C-USA) in the game. Sokol is the first LA Tech quarterback to throw for five touchdowns since Colby Cameron did so on Oct. 13, 2012 versus Texas A&M.

“Offensively, we got off to a slow start, but Cody Sokol settled down after he got hit a couple time and came out here and played well,” head coach Skip Holtz said. “There are some guys that are making some plays on the perimeter and obviously there are some things we have to get better at as well, so we are still a work in progress. We have to continue to develop depth because it is a long season.”

Turner ended the night with three receptions for 34 yards and two touchdown recep-tions, while Trent Taylor reeled in five receptions for 54 yards and a touchdown. In Carlos Henderson’s first action of the season, the wide receiver caught a team-high six passes for 40 yards. Hunter Lee also reached the end zone with three catches for 52 yards and a score.

Kenneth Dixon ran the ball 19 times, good for 75 yards and a touchdown, which helped the tailback move up to ninth place all-time in LA Tech history with 222 career points. Dixon also cracked the top 10 in career rushing yards in school history, ranking 10th with a total of 2,412 career yards.

On the defensive side of the ball, Nick Thomason led the Bulldogs with seven total tackles as LA Tech held North Texas to just two total yards of offense in the first quarter. Tech also held North Texas scoreless in the first half for the first time since the 2012 season.

“We are pretty physical on defense and we can do a lot of things,” Holtz said of what he learned from his team tonight. “Right now, I think we can do a lot of things. The defense is playing with some energy and some pride. There is a lot that goes into this defense. I have been going up against it for 30 days and I still can’t figure it out.”

Both teams were held scoreless in the first quarter before the Bulldogs would mount a 10-play, 60-yard drive on their first possession in the second frame as Josh Gaston caught his first collegiate pass - which just happened to be for a touchdown - on a four-yard gain in the red zone as Tech took the 7-0 lead.

After holding North Texas to a three-and-out, Louisiana Tech quickly drove back down the field going 67 yards in four plays as Sokol found Hunter Lee for a 28-yard score.

After another Mean Green three-and-out, Louisiana Tech went up 21-0 behind a 53-yard drive that ended with Paul Turner’s first career touchdown catch on a five-yard recep-tion in the end zone. NT would gain its first non-penalty first down of the half on its last drive of the second quarter, but would still be forced to punt as Tech held an opponent in the first half for the first time since blanking New Mexico State in the first half in 2012.

Tech’s defense set up Dixon’s 37th career touchdown as Terrell Pinson forced and ran back a fumble to the North Texas two-yard line setting up Dixon’s run on the first and only play of the drive as the Bulldogs took the 28-0 lead.

North Texas struck for the first time on its next drive as Josh Greer scored from five-yards out with 4:15 left in the third quarter, cutting Tech’s lead to 28-7. UNT was aided by a big play on Greer’s pass to Carlos Harris, accounting for 23 of the 59 yards on the drive.

Two big runs for Kenneth Dixon set up Turner’s second touchdown catch of the night as he reeled in a 21-yard pass from Sokol to give LA Tech the 35-7 advantage with 1:46 left in the third quarter.

Tech recovered what is technically considered a fumble as Gerald Shouse’s punt rico-cheted off a North Texas player. Beau Fitte recovered the football which set up Cody Sokol’s fifth touchdown pass of the game, this time a 12-yard strike to Trent Taylor on the first play of the drive, pushing Tech’s lead to 42-7.

With under four minutes to go in regulation, North Texas running back Antoinne Jimmerson punched it in for a three-yard rushing touchdown for the Mean Green, which capped off a nine play, 71-yard scoring drive to cut LA Tech’s lead to 42-14.

North Texas would reach the end zone one final time in the game as Erick Evans capitalized on a five play, 64-yard scoring drive with a nine-yard rushing touchdown with 34 seconds left to give LA Tech a 42-21 victory over the Mean Green.

Northwestern State 30, Louisiana Tech 27September 20, 2014

Joe Aillet Stadium, Ruston, La.

RUSTON, La. - Louisiana Tech committed five turnovers, including three in the fourth quarter, and Northwestern State capitalized each time, including Chris Moore’s 47-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Demons to a 30-27 upset win over the Bulldogs before 26,004 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium Saturday night.

Moore’s game-winner split the uprights as Northwestern State won the 78th meeting ever between the two schools and the first in 20 years.

The game-winning kick came after the Bulldogs (2-2) committed their fifth turnover of the night - and second in their final two offensive plays of the game - as Cody Sokol’s pass was tipped by Imoan Claiborne and intercepted by Adam Jones at the Tech 49 with 52 seconds to play in the game.

Following the interception, NSU moved the ball down to the Tech 30 on two comple-tions by Zach Adkins to Cody Jones, setting up the final play of the night.

“We did things tonight that we haven’t done this year; the turnovers, the penalties,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “I said coming into this game it was all about us. I thought we competed; I didn’t have any issues with our effort. We simply made way too many mis-takes. I give Northwestern State a lot of credit. They played extremely hard and took advan-tage of our mistakes.”

Tech appeared poised to fight off the valiant effort by Northwestern State numerous times in the fourth quarter. Dixon’s five-yard touchdown run with 8:35 to play in the fourth quarter gave the Bulldogs a 27-17 lead, as the run capped a six play, 38-yard drive following a Kentrell Brice interception of Adkins.

Northwestern State (2-2) immediately countered, driving 58 yards on 10 plays and scoring on De’Mard Llorens 14-yard run off the right side with 4:20 to play in the game. Moore’s extra point cut the Tech lead to 27-24.

After NSU kicked off to the Bulldogs, LA Tech turned to the ground game and Dixon. Back-to-back runs by the junior tailback tallied nine yards and set up a third down and one play with less than three minutes to play. However, on the third down run, Dixon earned the first down but then fumbled the ball as NSU’s Marion Chapman recovered for the Demons on the Tech 35.

Once again, NSU capitalized. Adkins drove the Demons down to the Tech 10 where the Bulldogs defense forced a Moore 29-yard field goal that tied the game at 27-27 with 1:05 to play, setting up the final sequence of events for the night.

The game started out as many folks had predicted. Kenneth Dixon put the Bulldogs on the board early as he caught a 38-yard pass from Sokol and ran up the sideline into the end zone giving Tech the 7-0 lead.

Dixon had another touchdown reception but the score was waived off as Tech was called for offensive pass interference. After being pushed back by consecutive penalties and failing to move the chains, Jonathan Barnes came on to hit a 38-yard field goal as Tech ex-tended its lead to 10-0.

With 6:15 left in the second quarter the Demons finally got on the board, intercepting Cody Sokol on the NSU 29-yard line then driving 47 yards to set up the 41-yard field goal by Chris Moore, cutting Tech’s advantage to 10-3.

Penalties stalled another LA Tech drive late in the second quarter but Jonathan Barnes added to Tech’s lead as he kicked a 44-yard field goal with seven seconds left in the half, pushing Tech’s lead to 13-3.

Garrett Atzenweiler would pull Northwestern State within a field goal with 4:20 left in the third quarter as he ran for a four-yard touchdown, capping off a 12-play, 54-yard drive to cut Tech’s lead to a 13-10 Bulldog advantage.

The Bulldogs would respond with a 10-play, 60-yard drive capped off by a 3-yard run by Dixon to push the Bulldogs’ lead to 20-10.

A muffed punt return by Trent Taylor would give the Demons the ball on the Tech 27-yard line and it would take NSU only two plays to score, punching it in from 10-yards out on an Atzenweiler run to cut Tech’s lead to 20-17.

Kenneth Dixon tied Arry Moody in Tech history with his 36th career rushing touch-down with 8:35 remaining in the game to push Tech’s lead back out to 10, this time scoring from 5-yards out.

But that would be the last thing that would go Tech’s way. Northwestern State would respond with a touchdown off a 14-yard run by De’Mar Llorens and then a Dixon fumble would give the Demons the ball at the Tech 35-yard line. While the Bulldog defense would hold Northwestern State to a field goal to tie the game, 27-27, bad luck would still befall the Bulldogs.

On the next drive, a Sokol pass would tip off the hands of Claiborne to eventually set up the winning field goal.

Auburn 45, Louisiana Tech 17September 27, 2014

Jordan-Hare Stadium, Auburn, Ala.

AUBURN, Ala. - Louisiana Tech committed two costly turnovers that spotted No. 5/5 Auburn 14 points and the Bulldogs could not overcome the early miscues in a 45-17 loss at No. 5/5 Auburn Saturday afternoon in front of 87,451 at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Cody Sokol passed for 216 yards in a 20-for-35 performance with his lone interception coming off a pass tipped at the line of scrimmage by Auburn’s defensive line. Trent Taylor caught eight passes for 80 yards while Kenneth Dixon was responsible for 50 all-purpose yards with 29 rushing and 21 receiving while running for two touchdowns.

LA Tech (2-3) was able to move the ball after a slow first quarter with 321 total yards on 68 plays while the Bulldogs held on to the ball for almost 32 minutes.

Tony Johnson led a Tech defense that held Auburn to a 6-for-14 completion rate on third down as he tallied 10 tackles. Xavier Woods, Terrell Pinson and Kentrell Brice each added eight tackles.

“I thought schematically, our defense played extremely well,” Louisiana Tech head coach Skip Holtz said. “I thought Manny Diaz had a great plan. I thought our players execut-ed it. I thought our defense played their tails off. The same things that bit us in the toe this week is the same thing that bit us in the toe last week.”

Auburn’s first score was set up courtesy of a Cody Sokol tipped pass that was inter-cepted by Montravius Adams and returned to the 5-yard line, setting up a five-yard touch-down run by Artis-Payne at the 8:28 mark in the first quarter.

The Tech defense stood tall early in the second quarter as Auburn reached the red zone but failed to convert a first down after that, forcing the Tigers to kick a 25-yard field goal for the 10-0 lead with 11:49 remaining in the first half.

Tech had a chance to pull within a touchdown with 5:48 left in the second quarter but Jonathan Barnes would miss a 37-yard field goal wide right marking Louisiana Tech’s first missed scoring opportunity in the red zone this year.

Auburn’s Duke Williams made an acrobatic, one-handed catch on an 18-yard pass from Nick Marshall that was initially tipped by Tony Johnson giving the Tigers the 17-0 lead with 1:36 left in the second quarter.

Louisiana Tech was driving down the field and Trent Taylor had made a first down catch but fumbled the ball away, giving Auburn the ball on Tech’s 37-yard line. The Tigers struck quick after a six-yard loss then a six-yard gain with a 37-yard touchdown pass from Nick Marshall to Quan Bray to extend the lead to 24-0 with 34 seconds remaining in the first half.

The Bulldogs got the ball back with good field position as Carlos Henderson had a 27-yard kickoff return that was pushed even farther downfield due to a 15-yard personal foul called on Auburn. With five plays, LA Tech was able to drive 63 yards to set up a 25-yard field goal by Jonathan Barnes to get on the board as time in the first half expired, cutting Auburn’s lead to 24-3.

Kenneth Dixon would leap over a pile for a one-yard touchdown run with 6:54 left in the third quarter to cut Auburn’s lead to 24-10 and LA Tech’s defense would hold Auburn scoreless in the third quarter - a first for the Tigers this season.

Early in the fourth quarter, Quan Bray caught a 44-yard pass from Nick Marshall to push Auburn’s lead to 31-10. After the Tigers forced Tech to punt, Bray struck again with a 76-yard punt return for a touchdown.

Dixon would score again, this time from nine-yards out to cut the lead to 38-17 before Auburn would drive down once again with Jeremy Johnson throwing a 15-yard touchdown pass to C.J. Uzomah giving the Tigers a 45-17 advantage.

Louisiana Tech 55, UTEP 3October 4, 2014

Joe Aillet Stadium, Ruston, La.

RUSTON, La. - Louisiana Tech dominated in every phase of the game for four quar-ters as the Bulldogs ran rough shot through UTEP, 55-3, Saturday night before 18,157 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium.

The 52-point margin of victory was the largest by a Tech team since a 63-10 win over Mississippi Valley State in the season opener in 2000. It was also the largest margin of victory in a conference game since a 61-6 win over UL-Monroe in 1953.

“This was by far our most complete game of the year,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz.Maybe the understatement of the night.The Bulldogs defense held a Miners (2-3, 0-1 C-USA) team averaging over 30 points

per game to only a field goal. UTEP running back Aaron Jones entered the game ranked seventh in the nation averaging almost 150 yards per game on the ground but managed only 63 yards on 18 carries. Tech forced five turnovers by a UTEP team that had committed only one all season. The Bulldogs also sacked quarterback Jameill Showers three times - he had only been sacked once all season.

Offensively, Tech scored on nine of its first 12 possessions and outgained UTEP 443 yards to 224 - the Miners managed only 30 yards of total offense after halftime. Tech out-rushed UTEP 256 to 81.

Even the Bulldogs special teams were dominate, scoring a touchdown on a blocked field goal.

Tech’s dominance started from the opening kickoff.Tech scored the first 28 points of the game and took a 28-3 lead into the halftime

locker room. And unlike two weeks ago when the Bulldogs saw a smaller halftime lead evaporate in a loss to Northwestern State at home, this time the Bulldogs put the nails in the proverbial coffin in the third quarter.

With the victory, Tech enters its bye week with a 3-3 overall record, but more impor-tantly, with a 2-0 mark in Conference USA action. Tech sits atop the West Division standings alone as it will prepare to host UTSA Oct. 18.

Louisiana Tech struck first as the Bulldogs marched 53 yards on their first possession following a UTEP punt, scoring in eight plays as Kenneth Dixon ran it in from four yards out. Six of the eight plays on the drive were rushes as the Bulldogs established the run game early.

Early in the second quarter Xavier Woods picked off Jameill Showers for his third inter-ception of the season. Only two plays later, Sokol faked a handoff to Dixon and ran around the right tackle untouched for 32 yards and a touchdown to push Tech’s lead out to 14-0.

Another Woods’ interception set up another two-play scoring drive for the Bulldogs as this time Sokol connected with Carlos Henderson on a 69-yard touchdown pass to push the Bulldogs’ lead out to 21-0 with 9:39 remaining in the second quarter. Henderson ended the night with two catches for 100 yards while also adding one rush for 27 yards.

Although Tech led by three touchdowns, UTEP tried to fight their way back into the game. The Miners marched 57 yards on 14 plays and appeared ready to put points on the board. However, a 28-yard field goal attempt by Jay Mattox was blocked by Lloyd Grogan and recovered by Adairius Barnes. Barnes then returned the ball 15 yards before lateraling it to Le’Vander Liggins who ran the final for 54 yards for a touchdown as Tech led 28-0 with 5:08 remaining in the quarter.

UTEP was able to get on the board with 22 seconds left in the half as Mattox con-nected on a 36-yard field goal and the teams entered halftime with LA Tech leading, 28-3.

Tech opened the second half with the football. It proceeded to take almost six min-utes off the clock and added a 45-yard field goal by Jonathan Barnes to extend the Bulldogs’ lead to 31-3. The score capped a 13-play, 41-yard drive that ate 5 minutes and 53 seconds off the clock.

On the ensuing possession Tech would turn another UTEP turnover into points as Tony Johnson forced and Houston Bates recovered a fumble to set up a one-play scoring drive as Sokol found Hunter Lee for a 20-yard touchdown pass, extending the Bulldog lead to 38-3.

Barnes would connect on a field goal on Tech’s next drive, hitting a 39-yard kick to push Tech’s lead to 41-3.

Another Miner turnover would set up a quick scoring drive for the Bulldogs as Tech pushed its lead to 48-3. Marcus Gaines made his first career catch a memorable one as he made an impressive one-handed catch in the end zone despite tight coverage for a touch-down.

Tech added an 18-yard touchdown run by Jarred Craft with 3:20 to play in the game to finish the scoring.

UTEP threatened to score late but as time winded off the clock Colby Brown inter-cepted Showers’ pass to complete the dominating performance, from start to finish.

Sokol ended the night 6-of-16 for 173 yards and 3 touchdowns while Lee (3-55-1), Henderson (2-100-1) and Gaines (1-18-1) led the Tech receivers. Dixon finished with 86 yards and one score on the ground while Sokol (60 yards, 1 score) and Craft (44 yards, 1 score) helped pave the way.

Louisiana Tech 27, UTSA 20 October 18, 2014

Joe Aillet Stadium, Ruston, La.

RUSTON, La. - On a day where points were at a premium due to the stellar play of the two defenses, Louisiana Tech turned three third-quarter turnovers into 21 points as the Bulldogs held on for a 27-20 victory over UTSA 18,071 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium.

With the win, Tech (4-3, 3-0 C-USA) maintains its lead in the West Division standings, heading into next weekend’s showdown at Southern Miss.

Tech linebacker Terrell Pinson spearheaded the turnover barrage for the Bulldogs, returning a shotgun snap fumble two yards for a TD and then registering back-to-back inter-ceptions which were also converted into scores.

Pinson’s TD with 11:33 to play in the third quarter gave Tech (4-3, 3-0 C-USA) its first lead of the game as Jonathan Barnes point after attempt gave the Bulldogs a 13-10 advan-tage. On a third-down-and-12 play from the UTSA 15-yard line, freshman quarterback Aus-tin Robinson had the shotgun snap sail through his hands. As the ball bounced towards the end zone, Pinson outraced Robinson, grabbed it on a bounce and hit paydirt.

On UTSA’s ensuing possession, Pinson struck again. On a second-down-and-11 play from the Roadrunners 49-yard line, Pinson intercepted Robinson and returned it to the UTSA 40-yard line. The Bulldogs offense capitalized as Cody Sokol hit Sterling Griffin for a 19-yard TD down the middle of the field. Barnes PAT made the score 20-10 with 9:01 remaining in the third quarter. Griffin led Tech receivers with six catches for 70 yards and one score.

The UTSA defense limited Sokol most of the day as the senior completed 14-of-31 passes for 157 yards and one touchdown. He was intercepted one time.

Pinson recorded the turnover trifecta on the Roadrunners next possession, as Robin-son’s pass sailed over the intended receiver’s hands and Pinson picked it out of the air, racing 19 yards to the UTSA 11-yard line.

Tech running back Kenneth Dixon scored two plays later from three yards out as the Bulldogs led 27-10. Dixon finished the day with 121 yards and one score on 28 carries in the game.

Tech scored the three touchdowns in a four-minute span. Thanks to the Tech defense, the Bulldogs offense only had to drive a total of 51 yards for the three touchdowns

UTSA’s defense which only allowed 278 yards on the day continued to stand tall while the Roadrunners offense used a pair of big plays to close the gap.

Late in the third quarter UTSA (2-5, 1-2 C-USA) faced a third down and 30 on their own 42 yard line, and it appeared as if the Bulldogs would force another punt. However, Robinson hit Jarveon Williams on a screen pass and Williams turned what appeared to be a five-yard gain into a 31-yard play as he reversed the field and raced to the Tech 27-yard line.

The Bulldog defense eventually held as Sean Ianno booted a 27-yard field goal, cut-ting the deficit to 27-13 with 14:50 to play in the fourth quarter.

Following a three-and-out by the Bulldog offense, UTSA marched to the Tech 35-yard line after converting a fourth-down-and-1. The Roadrunners then used some trickery as wide receiver Kam Jones caught a lateral from Robinson and then tossed it 35-yards down-field to a wide open Kenny Harrison for the score. Ianno’s PAT made it 27-20 with 11:17 to play.

The Bulldogs defense stood tall on UTSA’s next possession and following a short punt from deep in its own end, Tech took over on the Roadrunner 43 with 8:09 to play. After pick-ing up a couple of first downs, Tech’s offense eventually stalled as Jonathan Barnes came on with a chance to give Tech a double digit lead. However, Barnes’ 40-yard field goal attempt missed wide right as UTSA took over with 3:08 to play.

Three first downs later, UTSA moved inside of Tech territory with a chance to tie. How-ever, the Bulldogs defense continued to pressure Robinson, who was sacked three times on the day and who was harassed all day. On a fourth-down-and-10 play from the Tech 33, Robinson hit Josiah Monroe on a quick out. Monroe was tackled by Bryson Abraham five yards short of the first down, sealing the win for the Bulldogs and avenging last year’s 30-10 loss in San Antonio.

The first two quarters saw more post-play action than in-game action. Numerous times following the completion of plays, officials were forced to separate players as multiple personal foul penalties were called. For the game Tech was penalized 10 times for 85 yards and UTSA eight times for 85 yards.

UTSA built a 10-6 halftime advantage on an Ianno 23-yard field goal and a 53-yard touchdown run by Robinson on a busted play. Barnes hit field goals of 21- and 33-yards for Tech’s only points of the opening two quarters.

For the game, UTSA outgained Tech 324-278. Four big plays accounted for 158 of UTSA’s total yardage as the Tech defense allowed only 166 yards on UTSA’s other 68 snaps.

Freshman Russell Farris led Tech with nine tackles while Vernon Butler (8 tackles), Von-tarrius Dora (7 tackles, 1 sack, 2.5 TFL) and Pinson (7 tackles, 1 FR, 2 interceptions) were also leaders on the defensive side of the football.

Williams led UTSA on the ground with 10 carries 73 yards while Robinson added 49 yards and one score. Robinson completed 18-of-29 passes for 138 yards and zero touch-downs.

Louisiana Tech 31, Southern Miss 20October 25, 2014

M.M. Roberts Stadium, Hattiesburg, Miss.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. - Louisiana Tech (5-3, 4-0 C-USA) defeated Southern Miss (3-5, 1-3 C-USA), 31-20, on Saturday afternoon for the Bulldogs’ first win in Hattiesburg since the 1982 season thanks to a 400-yard passing day by Cody Sokol and three total touchdowns by Kenneth Dixon.

The C-USA victory also marked the first time LA Tech has recorded back-to-back wins over Southern Miss since the 1976-77 seasons. The Bulldogs defeated USM, 36-13, in Ruston last season.

Sokol became the first quarterback since Colby Cameron in 2012 to pass for over 400 yards as the senior was 27-46 for 423 yards and three touchdowns, including a career-long 84-yard connection with Dixon for LA Tech’s first touchdown of the game to begin the sec-ond half.

LA Tech had 453 total yards on offense in the win, as Dixon caught six passes for a ca-reer-high 124 yards and two touchdowns, as well as rushing for 41 yards and a touchdown.

For the first time since 2009, LA Tech’s defense held Southern Miss to negative rushing yards as the Golden Eagles had -31 rushing yards in the game. The last time the Bulldogs did so was when they held Hawai’i to -7 yards on Sept. 30, 2009.

A shanked punt by Logan McPherson gave Southern Miss a short field on USM’s sec-ond drive of the game, allowing the Golden Eagles to drive 41 yards in four plays for the first score off an 18-yard run by George Payne for a 7-0 USM lead.

Early in the second quarter Louisiana Tech would drive down as close as the five-yard line but be unable to reach the end zone, prompting Kyle Fischer to kick a 23-yard field goal to cut the Southern Miss lead to 7-3.

Louisiana Tech wasted no time getting on the board in the second half, scoring in less than a minute into the third quarter. Kenneth Dixon caught a short pass from Sokol, made a man miss and got help on a key Trent Taylor block to record the 84-yard touchdown recep-tion - the longest catch of his career - to put LA Tech on top, 10-7.

Midway through the third quarter, Southern Miss drove down and threatened to reach the end zone before back-to-back Tony Johnson sacks - the second of which aided by a dropped snap - forced the Golden Eagles to settle for a 44-yard field goal by Corey Acosta to tie the game, 10-10.

Tech would give the ball to the reliable Dixon again with less than a minute remain-ing in the third quarter as he was wide open on a five-yard pass for his second receiving touchdown of the day.

Southern Miss would drive down inside the 10-yard line again against LA Tech but the Bulldog defense again would stymie the Golden Eagle offense as USM would settle for a 26-yd field goal by Acosta, cutting Tech’s lead to 17-13 with 9:31 remaining.

On LA Tech’s next drive, Carlos Henderson would go up in the end zone to haul in a 29-yard touchdown pass from Sokol to extend the Bulldogs’ lead to 24-13.

LA Tech ended its scoring for the day with a five-play, 37 yard drive that resulted in a one-yard touchdown run by Kenneth Dixon for his third total touchdown of the afternoon to give the Bulldogs a 31-13 lead with just over four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

Down by 18, the Golden Eagles responded by capping off a seven-play, 75 yard scor-ing drive with a 16-yard touchdown pass from Weeks to Michael Thomas to cut LA Tech’s lead to 31-20 with under three minutes remaining in regulation.

Louisiana Tech 59, WKU 10November 1, 2014

Joe Aillet Stadium, Ruston, La.

RUSTON, La. - Louisiana Tech head coach Skip Holtz talked all week about a high-powered offense that puts up video game numbers playing at Joe Aillet Stadium Saturday. Little did he know, he was talking about his own team as a prolific outing by the Bulldog offense paired with a dominating performance by the defense resulted in a 59-10 rout over Western Kentucky.

The win moves Louisiana Tech (6-3) to 5-0 in Conference USA play and keeps the Bulldogs atop C-USA’s West Division standings while also claiming bowl eligibility in Holtz’ second year with the program.

WKU (3-5, 1-4) had entered the game ranked fifth in the nation in total offense but was held to season lows in passing (145 yards), total offense (297 yards) and points scored (10). Saturday marked the first time the Hilltoppers - which ranked fourth in the nation in scoring offense entering the game - had been held scoreless in a half this season.

“This was an offense that was averaging 550 yards a game, 410 yards a game passing, scoring 40 some points, 53 percent, third down,” Holtz said after the game. “The numbers are video game type numbers. We threw them out in front of our team and said, ̀ This is the chal-lenge we have, but they still have to play us. They put up these numbers against everybody else, but we just have to go out there and play our game.’ “

Tech’s dominating defense provided constant pressure to WKU quarterback Brandon Doughty, who entered the game with having thrown only four interceptions and left having thrown four more. The defense also added eight pass break-ups and 10 tackles for a loss of 40 yards, marking the fourth straight game Tech has registered at least 10 tackles for a loss.

Of his four picks, two came at the hands of Le’Vander Liggins who pitched the ball to Xavier Woods on both plays to continue the play for a total of 56 yards.

“We practice it every day,” said Liggins as he explained the pitches to Woods. “We prac-tice tip balls, pitch backs. We just have to make sure if there’s one man to beat, let’s beat him.”

Adairius Barnes also posted two interceptions in the game. The Bulldogs now have five different defensive backs on roster on six different occasions that have recorded two interceptions in a single game.

Meanwhile LA Tech quarterback Cody Sokol provided the offensive fireworks fans were expecting to see out of one quarterback in the game, passing for five touchdowns and 335 yards in a 30-for-42 performance. He also ran a touchdown in from three yards out.

Sokol became just the fifth quarterback in Louisiana Tech history to throw five touch-down passes in a single game and did so with two others watching; Tim Rattay is an assistant coach for the Bulldogs while Luke McCown was on hand for the game and was honored on the field during the second quarter.

If Sokol was on fire it was because Trent Taylor was the ignition, catching nine passes for a career-high 113 yards and three touchdowns while Paul Turner had 84 yards receiving on nine catches with a touchdown of his own.

“Trent was one of those guys that got here as a true freshman and he already had it,” Holtz said of the sophomore receiver. “I mean, he got it. He came in. His competitive nature, his balance, his hands, his ability to change direction, run routes. He’s smart. He’s intelligent. He sets routes up. I mean, he’s a student of the game. I mean, he has done a great job.”

Sokol’s fifth touchdown pass went to Kenneth Dixon, who registered 49 yards receiv-ing as well as 77 yards rushing and another score.

Dixon’s touchdown reception was the first of three in the third quarter for Louisiana Tech, a period the Bulldogs have dominated in having now outscored opponents 118-27 in that period this season.

It wasn’t just all offense and defense for Tech as Carlos Henderson found his way to the end zone, returning a kickoff 96 yards for the score, the 10th-longest kickoff return in school history. Henderson also caught two passes for 26 yards in the game.

The Bulldogs got on the board first, converting an Adairius Barnes interception into seven points as Dixon had a 48-yard score, his first rushing attempt, less than four minutes into the game. Kyle Fischer kicked a career-long 51-yard field goal nearly 10 minutes later.

Doughty would find Taywan Taylor for a 46-yard touchdown pass as time expired in the first quarter but WKU allowed Henderson to take it to the house as the second quarter began. Tech would never let its lead fall below 10 points again.

Louisiana Tech 40, UAB 24November 8, 2014

Legion Field, Birmingham, Ala.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Cody Sokol threw for 200 yards and two touchdowns and Ken-neth Dixon ran for three scores as Louisiana Tech overpowered UAB, 40-24, Saturday morn-ing at Legion Field.

The win keeps Louisiana Tech (7-3, 6-0 Conference USA) in the race for the C-USA West Division crown while UAB (5-5, 3-3) fell to 0-5 against the Bulldogs all-time.

Dixon’s three touchdowns and 79 rushing yards all came within the first half before he left with an undisclosed injury, pushing the junior into fourth all-time at Louisiana Tech with 2,948 career rushing yards.

Sokol was 19-for-33 for 200 yards and two scores, finding eight different receivers for a catch throughout the game. His leading target, Trent Taylor, caught eight passes for 58 yards and a touchdown.

Tech’s defense, which registered at least eight tackles for a loss for the seventh con-secutive game, limited UAB to 326 total offensive yards as the Blazers averaging almost 450 yards per game in league entering the game. Tony Johnson led the defense with 10 total tackles and a fumble recovery while Xavier Woods blocked a kick, had a 34-yard interception return and registered five total tackles including one for a loss.

Louisiana Tech scored on all but one possession in the first half while blocking a UAB field goal and holding the Blazers to 10 points at halftime.

In the second half, UAB took advantage of a couple miscues by the Bulldogs on spe-cial teams with a fumble recovery on a punt return by Trent Taylor for a touchdown and had a chance to score again after recovering a Carlos Henderson fumble on the ensuing kickoff but Tech’s Vernon Butler would recover a Jordan Howard fumble to prevent a score in the red zone.

After LA Tech was forced to punt on its next possession, UAB would fumble its punt return with Johnson recovering the ball. That would set up a seven-play drive that ended with Sokol’s 10-yard touchdown pass to Taylor. A bad snap led to a failed conversion attempt as the Bulldogs led, 30-17.

After a Kyle Fischer 49-yard field goal and the teams trading punts, Woods’ intercep-tion return to the UAB nine-yard line set up a Sokol touchdown pass to Henderson for the 40-24 advantage. UAB would return the next kickoff for 100 yards for the Blazers’ final score of the game.

Old Dominion 30, Louisiana Tech 27 (OT)November 22, 2014

Foreman Field, Norfolk, Va.

NORFOLK, Va. - Kenneth Dixon ran for 106 yards and a touchdown and eclipsed the 3,000 yard rushing mark in his career, but the celebrations were muted in a 30-27 overtime loss at Old Dominion’s Foreman Field on Saturday.

Louisiana Tech (7-4, 6-1 C-USA) dropped its first league game of the season as it struggled to contain Old Dominion’s Taylor Heinicke in the second half and overtime as the Bulldogs could not hold on to a 24-14 halftime lead.

Heinicke, one of the top quarterbacks in the country, was 29-for-40 for 302 yards and two touchdowns but also threw four interceptions on the day including two to Tech’s Adairius Barnes.

Old Dominion (5-6, 3-4 C-USA) kept its slim bowl chances alive with the win and prevented LA Tech from clinching Conference USA’s West Division. The Bulldogs now face Rice next Saturday with the winner advancing to the C-USA Championship Game opposite Marshall.

Dixon was Tech’s main target in overtime, gaining 17 all-purpose yards, but a pass to Paul Turner in the end zone would fall incomplete, prompting Kyle Fischer to kick a 25-yard field goal for a 27-24 Bulldog lead.

ODU responded with an eight-yard touchdown pass from Heinicke to David Wash-ington to seal the comeback victory in the first meeting between the two schools.

Dixon recorded his 15th game running for over 100 yards, while Trent Taylor led the receivers with 92 yards on five catches and a touchdown.

Lloyd Grogan led the defense with seven total tackles while Barnes added six with his two interceptions.

Tech’s defense registered 11 tackles for a loss of 36 yards on the Monarchs while Bryson Abraham and Kentrell Brice joined Barnes for a total of four interceptions. Abraham’s interception came with under a minute remaining in the fourth quarter as ODU had the chance to get a win in regulation, but LA Tech took over on its own five-yard line.

The Bulldogs held a 24-14 lead at halftime as Dixon surpassed the 3,000 career rush-ing mark in the second quarter as the junior broke a 7-7 tie in the second quarter with a seven-yard touchdown run to give Tech a 14-7 lead.

Marlon Seets scored nearly three minutes later as Tech led 21-7 before Heinicke found Washington for a 26-yard touchdown pass to cut the Bulldog lead to 21-14. As time expired, Tech’s Kyle Fischer converted a 43-yard field goal attempt.

Trent Taylor had the first score of the game with a 10-yard touchdown pass from So-kol to give LA Tech a 7-0 lead with three seconds remaining in the first quarter.

Louisiana Tech held the ball for less than two minutes in the entire third quarter but the Bulldog defense never yielded, allowing only a 46-yard field goal by ODU’s Satchel Ziffer to cut the Tech lead to 24-17.

Louisiana Tech 76, Rice 31November 29, 2014

Joe Aillet Stadium, Ruston, La.

RUSTON, La. - Louisiana Tech scored the most points it ever has against a conference opponent and tallied 677 total yards as the Bulldogs clinched the Conference USA West Divi-sion in a 76-31 rout over defending C-USA Champion Rice Saturday in front of 18,029 at Joe Aillet Stadium.

The win secures a spot in the Conference USA Championship Game for Louisiana Tech (8-4, 7-1 C-USA) opposite Marshall (11-1, 7-1) on Dec. 6 with the game location still to be determined by the league office. The win also marked career win No. 100 for LA Tech head coach Skip Holtz.

“One hundred wins is huge,” Holtz said of his milestone. “This football team is really special to me because I do not know that I have had a football team that has had to over-come so much, with the schedule, new faces, new coaches and everything to make this year work. This group of guys is really special. They will always have a special place in my heart.”

The win was secured when the Bulldogs scored 41 unanswered points after Rice (7-5, 5-3) cut the Tech lead to four 36 seconds into the second half off a Mario Hull touchdown catch. Tech put away Rice during that 41-point stretch that included two fumble recoveries for scores, two rushing touchdowns and two of Cody Sokol’s four touchdown passes on the day.

Sokol threw for 387 yards and four touchdowns with one interception and found three different receivers - Paul Turner (122), Trent Taylor (120) and Carlos Henderson (114) - for over 100 yards each. The redshirt senior quarterback’s 29 touchdown passes this season ties Luke McCown (2001) for sixth in the school’s single season charts.

Sokol completed 20 passes on 32 attempts to six different receivers and did not take a sack in the game. Of his 20 completions, five were for 35 yards or more as Tech’s offense capitalized on big plays.

Kenneth Dixon ran for 137 yards and three touchdowns and surpassed the 1,000-yard rushing mark on the year. He is only the third running back in school history (Ryan Moats, Daniel Porter) to tally multiple 1,000-yard seasons in his career after running for 1,194 in 2012.

“It is a good feeling, but we are just focused on the next one and that is Marshall,” said Dixon of the win and the chance to play 14 games this season, the most Louisiana Tech has ever played as a member of the Football Bowl Subdivision. “The celebration is for Coach Holtz because he is such a great coach. He got to his 100th win this week. That is a great cel-ebration and we were also celebrating the West [Division] Conference Championship. You know we were turnt up.”

Louisiana Tech’s defense forced four turnovers against a Rice team that had only com-mitted three through seven conference games this season. Colby Brown, Le’Vander Liggins and Terrell Pinson each recorded an interception while Beau Fitte’s fumble recovery was re-turned for a touchdown.

After scoring 20 points off of three of Rice’s four turnovers, Louisiana Tech increased its national lead with 150 points off turnovers this season.

The 677 yards of total offense Louisiana Tech racked up Saturday ranks seventh in school history while the 76 points is the second-most ever scored by a Conference USA team.

The Bulldogs only trailed once, 3-0, after Rice’s James Hairston hit a 35-yard field goal just over five minutes into the game but Dixon would score the first of his three rushing touchdowns on the day on the next possession and Tech would not relent the lead for the remainder of the game.

LA Tech had a 21-3 lead after the first quarter behind Henderson’s 72-yard touch-down catch and Turner’s 35-yard touchdown catch. Tech would head to the locker room with a 28-17 advantage after Dixon scored again after Rice reached the end zone twice in the second quarter. Then Hull would bring the Owls within four less than a minute into the second half on a three-play, 60-yard drive before the Bulldogs offense exploded.

Overall, the Bulldogs outscored Rice 48-14 in the second half. The 45-point margin marks the first time since 1910 a Louisiana Tech team has beaten three opponents by at least 45 points with all three wins this season coming against conference opponents.

Marshall 26, Louisiana Tech 23December 6, 2014

John C. Edwards Stadium, Huntington, W. Va.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Marshall’s touchdown in the final two minutes of the Confer-ence USA Championship propelled the Thundering Herd past the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs for a 26-23 victory.

The Bulldogs (8-5, 7-1 C-USA) never trailed until Marshall quarterback Rakeem Cato connected with Deon-Tay McManus for the game-winning touchdown, a five-yard catch with 1:50 to play.

The LA Tech defense forced four turnovers against the Herd (12-1, 7-1 C-USA), and running back Kenneth Dixon made the most of those on the offensive side, scoring three touchdowns, two off Herd turnovers and one following a punt block. He rushed for 156 yards on 20 carries and now ranks second in Bulldog history for career rushing yards with 3,347, just five yards shy of the school record.

The Bulldogs turned early Marshall miscues into scoring opportunities, jumping out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter. LA Tech capitalized on a pair of third-down penalties for the Herd en route to a 26-yard Jonathan Barnes field goal on the Bulldogs’ opening drive.

LA Tech added to its lead later in the first quarter after DeAngelo Brooks recovered the first fumble of his career. On the first play from scrimmage, Dixon sprinted 33 yards for the touchdown, adding to the Bulldogs’ nation-leading 157 points off turnovers.

Marshall responded with a six-yard touchdown to McManus, cutting LA Tech’s lead to 10-7 as the second quarter began.

The Herd’s second turnover on a misplayed punt paved the way for Dixon’s 30-yard dash to the endzone to make it a 17-7 LA Tech lead. The forced turnover marked the na-tion-leading 38th of the season for the Bulldogs, while the touchdown marked the 58th of Dixon’s career, setting a new school record.

Marshall’s Justin Haig nailed a pair of field goals late in the second quarter to bring the Herd within four at halftime, trailing 17-13. Haig would add another in the Herd’s opening drive of the second half to trim the Bulldogs’ lead to one.

Momentum shifted back to the Bulldogs when Paul Turner blocked a punt, leading to Dixon’s third touchdown of the game. LA Tech took a 23-16 lead after missing the extra point.

The two teams traded fumbles early in the fourth quarter before Haig added his fourth field goal of the contest to make it a 23-19 game with 8:34 remaining.

The Bulldogs missed a 49-yard field goal with five minutes to go before McManus’ second touchdown of the day to put Marshall on top, 26-23.

Following McManus’ touchdown, the Bulldogs began the drive at their own 25, but Cody Sokol’s interception on the first play from scrimmage sealed the victory for the Herd.
