Faced with the task of obtaining bowl eligibility on the road, Charlotte’s hopes of clinching a spot in the postseason on Saturday were dashed away in a statistical juggernaut of a game, dropping their fourth road contest of the season by a score of 42-32 at Joe Aillet Stadium in Ruston.
Entering the day with a 2-7 record competing for pride and pleasure alone, the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs were able to snap a streak of five consecutive losses, the program’s worst streak as such since 2009. Flipping the script to the opposite sideline, Charlotte dropped to .500 in league play, having been beaten by two possessions or more in all five of their losses in 2021.
