LA Tech vs Kennesaw State Prediction
I’ll lean toward Louisiana Tech. Probably not touching this one, though. The Bulldogs are coming off a tough road game against a decent Arkansas team, but this weekend’s matchup should be much easier. Louisiana Tech posted just 229 yards in that loss (190 passing) with 16 first downs and a 4-of-19 success rate on third-down conversions. I’d like to see the offense find its stride here; the Bulldogs have been at 14 points or below in four of the last five outings.
As for Kennesaw State, they finished strong against FIU, ultimately posting 358 yards (186 passing) and 20 first downs. The Owls have had mixed results in their last four games with 17 or fewer points in two of those (27 or more in the other two). If LA Tech can keep the Owls offense mostly in check, the Bulldogs should cruise here.
