Kennesaw State Owls Soar, Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Struggle in CUSA Showdown
9 Oct
Summary
- Two new CUSA teams ineligible for title game, conference in rebuilding mode
- Louisiana Tech defense forces turnovers, Kennesaw State offense aims to protect the ball
- Crucial matchup between Louisiana Tech and Kennesaw State with conference implications
As of October 10th, 2025, Conference USA is facing a challenging season. Two of the conference's top teams, Delaware and Missouri State, are new additions and ineligible to compete for the CUSA title or a bowl game. This has left the conference in a state of rebuilding, with Louisiana Tech and Kennesaw State poised to capitalize on the opportunity.
The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs have been thriving on their defensive prowess, leading the nation in takeaways with 13 turnovers forced so far. Their secondary has been particularly dominant, intercepting 11 passes. Meanwhile, the Kennesaw State Owls have been finding success with their fast-paced offense, though they have struggled with penalties and turnovers in recent games.
On October 9th, the two teams will face off in a crucial CUSA matchup at Fifth Third Stadium in Kennesaw, Georgia. The Bulldogs' stifling run defense, which has allowed just 106 yards per game, will be put to the test against the Owls' consistent ground game. However, the Owls' passing attack may struggle against Louisiana Tech's opportunistic secondary, potentially leading to turnovers that the Bulldogs can capitalize on.
This game promises to be a hard-fought battle, with both teams vying for a chance to establish themselves as the new powerhouses in the conference.
