Opponent preview: Louisiana Tech finally returns a starting QB

The Hilltoppers will close the regular season Nov. 24 in Ruston, La., at Conference USA foe Louisiana Tech. Kickoff from Joe Aillet Stadium is set for 11 a.m., with the game to be broadcast on CBS Sports Network.

FRISCO, Texas – Breaking in a new quarterback seems an annual ritual at Louisiana Tech. The Bulldogs have enjoyed success despite turnover at the position, winning four straight bowl games under coach Skip Holtz.

Now, for the first time since 2010, La Tech has the same player directing the offense two years in a row.

2017 starter J’Mar Smith is back for the Bulldogs this fall.
