Key Storylines
Can the Bulldogs rise to the occasion and bounce back in the face of adversity?
Let’s be honest — Louisiana Tech’s loss to Kennesaw State was the first truly unexpected setback of the 2025 season.
The Bulldogs entered the game riding a three-game winning streak, all by double digits, but struggled in every phase against the Owls. It was a performance that fell short of the standard Tech had been building in recent weeks.
As they turn their focus to Western Kentucky, one thing is clear: Conference USA remains wide open. No team has pulled away in the standings, nor has anyone emerged as a clear favorite by the eye test. The opportunity is there — but that also makes Tuesday night’s matchup all the more critical.
With 12 days to regroup and prepare, the expectation is that the Bulldogs return sharper, more focused, and ready to seize the moment.
Where can Tech turn for consistent production on offense?
It’s no secret — and it’s been well-documented — that Louisiana Tech’s offense has shown flashes of promise, but it’s also dealt with a lot of inconsistency.
While stats don’t tell the whole story, a six-game sample size offers a fairly accurate snapshot. So far, the Bulldogs don’t have a single skill player averaging more than 43.5 total yards per game. For this offense to take the next step, someone — or ideally a few players — need to emerge as true playmakers that opposing defenses have to account for.
Consistency won’t come from one player alone. It’s going to require a full-team effort, with all 11 guys pulling in the same direction.
