The Bulldogs encountered yet another scare Oct. 29, but narrowly survived to keep their bowl hopes alive going into their Homecoming showdown against North Texas this Saturday.
Louisiana Tech (4-4, 2-2) traveled to Rice (1-7, 1-3) in a game that was too close for comfort but concluded with a 42-28 Tech victory.
Tech was outgained by 17 total yards in the contest but made up for the yardage by forcing Rice into committing four turnovers, including a game-clinching pick six by junior cornerback Trey Spencer to make it 42-28 with 36 seconds remaining.
