COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Army enters at 2-1 with a 34.7-point scoring average and a dominant ground attack led by 355.7 rushing yards per game, while its defense has limited opponents to 16.0 points per game. Louisiana Tech is 1-2, but it has been more productive through the air than on the ground, averaging 37.7 points and 220.7 passing yards per game. The problem for the Bulldogs is defensive consistency, as they have allowed 29.0 points and 358.3 yards per game. Army’s run game against Louisiana Tech’s run defense is the key matchup, and it gives the Black Knights a strong chance to control scoring on their side.
Army’s rushing efficiency and scoring balance give it the cleaner path to production in this matchup, while Louisiana Tech’s defense has been too loose to inspire confidence in stopping drives consistently. Louisiana Tech can score enough to keep the game competitive, but Army’s ground game should generate enough sustained success to push its team total past the number. I project Army Black Knights 27, Louisiana Tech Bulldogs 23, with Army’s offense doing just enough to separate late.
