Well, check it out... another 3-9 non-conference opponent for Nebraska. Louisiana Tech has had back-to-back nine-loss seasons under second year head coach Sonny Cumbie, perhaps best known around here as Texas Tech’s quarterback in 2004. In that infamous 70-10 disaster for Nebraska, Cumbie completed 44 of 56 passes for 436 yards and half of the Red Raiders’ ten touchdowns that sad evening.
Last season, Louisiana Tech went through quarterback injuries, and like Northern Illinois, had to depend on a walk-on quarterback to finish the season. For 2023, Cumbie added Boise State transfer Hank Bachmeier (6’1” 210 lbs.) to take over.
