LSU will welcome the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs to Baton Rouge for the 15th time. The Tigers look to keep the momentum going.
Louisiana Tech Bulldogs
Louisiana Tech is coming off of a week 1 shutout of Southeastern Louisiana. The offense is led by junior quarterback Trey Kukuk. Kukuk is a JUCO transfer. He had a solid career. The dual threat quarterback will look to keep the Tiger defense on its heels. The backfield is led by JUCO transfer Clay Thevenin. Thevenin had nearly 1000 all purpose yards at Navarro College last season. The leading pass catchers are Eli Finley and Marques Singleton, Jr., Finley is on multiple preseason award watchlists. Singleton, Jr. put together an impressive JUCO career, scoring 20 TDs. This Bulldog defense is led by Kolbe Fields, Amari Butler, and Emmanuel Oguns. Fields is an LSU transfer. Butler and Oguns are JUCO transfers.
LSU Tigers
LSU is coming off of a huge week 1 victory. The Tigers will have to get pumped up for this one and try to avoid the hangover. Garrett Nussmeier needs to get this team up. Caden Durham and this offensive line need to keep the positive momentum going. Chris Hilton, Jr., needs to get his confidence up. Look for Chris to get some big touches in this one. The defense needs to continue playing smash mouth Tiger football. The leaders need to get this unit up.
KEYS TO THE GAME
- Can the Tigers keep the foot on the pedal?
- Can the Tigers shut down this dual threat quarterback?
- Can the Tigers get the studs out early to get other guys valuable playing time?
This Bulldog team has nothing to lose. The Tigers need a dominant performance.
Fun Fact: LSU placekicker Sean Perret and Louisiana Tech offensive lineman Ervin Smith were teammates at Catholic High School in Baton Rouge.

A quick share helps us a lot!
The Saints may have a new era underway, with new coaches and players, but the feeling sitting in many fans’ stomachs is eerily familiar.
The NFL Regular season is here, and so is the new era of New Orleans Saints football. Led by new head coach Kellen Moore, the Saints host the Arizona Cardinals in a Week 1 matchup that both teams need to take advantage of.
