Louisiana Tech vs South Alabama Game Preview
Why Louisiana Tech Will Win
The Bulldogs battled well against Clemson in a 48-20 loss, the passing attack was fine against Missouri, and the ground game rolled in the win over Stephen F. Austin. This is the first game against someone who’s truly their own size.

It’ll be the USA running game that takes over and helps the O keep the ball for well over 35 minutes.
