WAC Conference - Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Preview
Louisiana Tech Bulldogs finished last season with wins in five of their last six games, including a huge win over Fresno State that killed the Bulldogs' chance at a WAC Championship. The hot streak led to a contract extension for HC Jack Bicknell III. He brings back a talent-filled roster but one without many starters from 2005. But eight return to an Offense that features a pair of strong RB prospects. The Bulldogs will rely on the rush behind an adequate O-Line until Bicknell and Co. feel okay with their new QB throwing the ball. A dilapidated Defense (only two starters returning) will have new faces across the D-Line and at three of four starting LB spots.

But 50 per cent of Tech's secondary depth returns from last season, although it loses its top 1st Team WAC CB so pass defense could be a problem. WAC scoring and FG per game leader K Danny Horwedel is back, as are stellar return men Weldon Brown and Jackson. This unit could very well be a strong point for the Bulldogs early. This is an inexperienced Bulldogs team very much in rebuilding mode. They have a harsh schedule, especially non-conference, and have to play at Boise and Hawaii. And then there's November 24: a visit by Fresno, with revenge on their minds.
