Through 3 Quarters
Fans are certainly getting their money’s worth as the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs and the Southeastern Louisiana Lions have combined for 73 points three quarters in. Neither squad has the matchup in the bag, but Louisiana Tech leads 38-35. A win for the Bulldogs would counteract both their recent defeat and Southeastern Louisiana’s recent victory.
Louisiana Tech has a habit of keeping things close this season; the team played one games decided by three or less. Maybe they will pull away, but we predict a narrow margin.

What to Know
The Southeastern Louisiana Lions will take on the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs at 7 p.m. ET Saturday at Joe Aillet Stadium. Southeastern Louisiana will be strutting in after a victory while Louisiana Tech will be stumbling in from a loss.
It was all tied up 14-14 at the half for Southeastern Louisiana and the North Alabama Lions last week, but Southeastern Louisiana stepped up in the second half for a cozy 49-28 win.
Meanwhile, Louisiana Tech and the Mississippi State Bulldogs were almost perfectly matched up last week, but Louisiana Tech suffered an agonizing 35-34 defeat. Louisiana Tech was up 31-14 at the end of the third quarter but couldn’t hold on to the lead. QB Austin Kendall put forth a good effort for the losing side as he passed for two TDs and 269 yards on 36 attempts in addition to rushing for one TD and 68 yards. One of the most memorable plays of the matchup was Kendall’s 59-yard touchdown rush in the second quarter.
Louisiana Tech’s defense was a presence as well, as it collected one interception and three fumbles. LB Trey Baldwin picked up that interception and then proceeded to rub salt in the wound by taking it back the other way for a touchdown.
Louisiana Tech’s defeat took them down to 0-1 while Southeastern Louisiana’s victory pulled them up to 1-0. We’ll see if Louisiana Tech can steal Southeastern Louisiana’s luck or if Southeastern Louisiana records another win instead.
