Best of luck to our C-USA brothers at La. Tech

Face Illinois at noon in HOD on ESPN. Would be a nice win for the conference.

[emmitt01]

This game DESPERATELY needs North Texas in it. We equalled what both teams have brought here today...perhaps more.

[Christopher Walker]

More importantly, let's get CUSA to 4-1 in the post-season, Ruston chaps!

Dallas looks wet; kicker slipped while planting for the kickoff.

But, but, Dallas is "bulldog country."

Tech 7-0

Bulldogs uniforms look like New England Patriots throwbacks

Things I've noticed so far.

#9, Vernon Butler, the Junior run clogger at nose tackle for La Tech. 6'3" 309 lb, from Mississippi, straight out of the heart of SEC country.

Early on Illinois can't stop Dixon. La Tech should feed him all day.

Big 10 football looks slow compared to the southern boys IMO.

I can tell you when TC played there a little over a month ago the grass was garbage (compared to what it normally is). There was a big concert there where they basically ruined a giant portion of the turf and had to pay 30,000 to re turf the field. You can see where they did that on the screen.

14-3 La Tech

Like I said, Illinois can't stop Dixon

La techs Offense is explosive. They hit the jack pot with Sokol or however you spell his name. He lifted the program this year, wonder what happens to them next year.

[FirefightnRick]

Two more La Tech run cloggers on their D Line drawing double teams in their rotation so far.

#96, Tyler Porter, 5'11" 318, from Loisiana

#90 DeAngelo Brooks, 6'0" 301 lbs Tyler JUCO)

Illinois can't seem to run between the tackles so far.

I wonder why that is?

Anyone seen La Techs new club level seating in the end zone? Pretty slick. Makes me appreciate Apogee! What a beautiful facility we have.

[FirefightnRick]

14-9 tech.

When tech runs Dixon, they score. When they go all Dodgeball, they punt.

La Tech playing with 4 backup OL , right ?

One of the sweetest touchdowns this early bowl season.

Way to go Dawgs.

Rick, as much as you are loving the La Tech D-Linemen, the SEC is more about speed. 300lb'ers aren't going to be setting any land speed records.

Illinois coming on strong late. Their depth starting to wear down Tech. 21-15 Tech hanging on with 6:04 left in 3rd.

[Harry]

Sokol is a stud. Big time difference maker.

[Harry]

Illinois now shutting down Dixon...this game could go down to the wire.

[techdawg88]

TD Dixon

Tech 28-18

TD Dixon

Tech 28-18

That was huge!

[techdawg88]

Dixon already has the program rushing record and the most TDs in a career with one season of eligibility left

Way to represent La. Tech! Nice win for C-USA!

[NM Green]

I am loving watching La Tech outmuscle and abuse this Big 10 team.

Way to go La Tech.

Way to go CUSA!
