Key Storylines
Was the turnover-heavy performance against UTEP an outlier, or a sign of a deeper issue for the Bulldogs?
Prior to their trip to El Paso on September 27, Louisiana Tech had committed just one turnover all season. But against UTEP, the script flipped—Tech’s offense gave the ball away four times, allowing the Miners to hang around well into the fourth quarter.
With the Bulldogs’ defense playing at such a high level, offensive turnovers are especially costly.
Blake Baker and the Louisiana Tech offense will need to return to their efficient, mistake-free form Saturday night at Kennesaw State to keep their momentum rolling.
Just how much will losing Kolbe Fields impact Louisiana Tech’s defensive dominance?
It’s a fair question. With the injury to Kolbe Fields, the Bulldogs didn’t just lose their top defensive player—they lost their emotional leader on and off the field.
There’s no question that Alonzo Jackson Jr., Jadon Mayfield, and Zheric Hill have the talent to fill the void, but they’re still relatively young. For Louisiana Tech’s defense to maintain its high level of play, that trio will need to prove they can deliver consistent, four-quarter performances week in and week out.
