Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Aiming to Plus Up Winning Streak with Victory over North Texas

The Bulldogs are off to a successful start, having won two of their first three games and both of their home games. With an average of 30 points per game, their offense has been impressive. A positive factor for the game against North Texas is their defense, giving up close to 300 rushing yards per game and over 40 points per game in its first two games. On the other hand, the Mean Green have played well offensively, averaging 30 points per game, they have a good passing game; yet, their ground game won't pick up a lot of yards against Louisiana Tech's defense, giving up less than 170 passing yards per game. Louisiana Tech's difficulty stopping teams from running against them is certainly a factor, yet they should still have the edge over North Texas in this game, so Louisiana Tech is favored to cover the spread.
