FROM COACH DOW
"It should be fun for the fans in the area as we renew the series with Louisiana Tech. I've gotten to know Scott and Brooke Stoehr extremely well the last couple of years. I have a ton of respect for them. They're doing a great job over there under some tough circumstances and they're in a rebuilding situation as well. They gave LSU a run for their money this year, just like we did last year. I am familiar with some of their personnel. We've seen some of those kids when we've been out recruiting. They may be fairly young, but they're still extremely talented. I know that one of the things that Scott and Brooke will have them doing is playing hard. Our main focus will be getting things cleaned up."
UP NEXT
-The Warhawks will hit the road again to play against Northwestern State on Sunday afternoon. They then travel to Ole Miss on December 10 before returning home to face McNeese on December 13 and Rice on December 18.
