Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Narrowly Outscored at Joe Aillet Stadium in Football Showdown

The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs, with a 3-6 record, faced off against the New Mexico State Aggies, who held a 6-3 record. The game ended in a close score of 27-24 in favor of the visiting team.

At Joe Aillet Stadium, the home crowd witnessed the Bulldogs amass a total of 371 yards over the course of play. The offense was particularly effective through the air with their quarterback achieving an impressive rating of 160 and completing passes at a rate of 74 percent for 238 yards. One passing touchdown was recorded on their stats sheet with their longest pass completion stretching to 47 yards.

The rushing game also contributed significantly to Louisiana Tech's offensive efforts. They ran for a total of 133 yards and crossed into the end zone twice via ground attacks. Despite two lost fumbles, they managed to maintain possession for just over half an hour during gameplay.

Special teams had mixed results; while they successfully converted one field goal from beyond forty yards, another attempt from similar distance did not find its mark. Kickoff duties were well-handled as four out of five resulted in touchbacks.

Defensively, Louisiana Tech forced no turnovers but managed to keep pressure on New Mexico State's offense by limiting them to fewer than four hundred total yards and recording two tackles for loss.

On special teams play, Louisiana Tech's kick return unit showed promise as they accumulated ninety return yards across three attempts with their longest being forty-five yards. Their punting unit performed efficiently too; both punts landed inside the twenty-yard line without any being returned or blocked.

Despite these efforts by Louisiana Tech Bulldogs' players and coaches throughout four quarters filled with hard-fought football action under Ruston lights, it was ultimately not enough to secure victory against New Mexico State Aggies who took home a win scoring twenty-seven points against twenty-four by the home team.
