Louisiana Tech will replace Marshall as the opponent for Army in the Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl, it was announced Saturday.

The announcement comes after Marshall officials notified Bowl officials that the Thundering Herd wouldn't be able to participate, sources told ESPN, after a wave of players recently entered the transfer portal in the wake of a coaching change.

"It is unfortunate that Marshall determined they won't be able to compete in the bowl in a couple of weeks," Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl executive director Missy Setters said in a statement.
