Louisiana Tech soldiers on through strange season as UTEP looms

The Louisiana Tech football team heads into Saturday’s game against UTEP facing some adversity after a 45-14 loss at Brigham Young dropped it to 2-1.

That’s not particularly good news for anyone facing the Bulldogs, because this is a team that three weeks ago faced the highest mountain of adversity and found its way over the top.

If the unprecedented 2020 season needs a game to epitomize it, Louisiana Tech’s 31-30 miracle at Southern Miss on Sept. 19 could be it.

A week and a half after the Bulldog football team was scattered by Hurricane Laura, they returned to receive 30 positive COVID-19 tests that led to cancelling a game with Baylor.
