Scouting UL Monroe QB Aidan Armenta
Louisiana Tech @ Louisiana MonroeWe’re truly spoiled to get ULL and ULM in consecutive weeks. These past few weeks have shown why the move to the Sun Belt was essential to the health of the program. Speaking of program health, ULM is not in a great spot. After a notable 5-7 first season for Bryant Vincent in 2024, the Warhawks have won just 3 games since Ahmad Hardy departed for Missouri. The Bulldogs *should* absolutely roll the Warhawks, but it is college football, so what we think should happen often does not happen. A win for Tech reasserts its dominance over the UL schools, but a loss wou...

Nine Straight, and Lafayette Wants to Talk About Its Name Tag
ULL blew a 12-point fourth-quarter lead in Ruston. Then it blamed the letterhead. Let’s start with the only number that matters: nine. That’s how many times in a row Louisiana Tech has beaten UL-Lafayette. Kids who weren’t born the last time Lafayette won this game are now old enough to be in grad school. Some of them are probably in grad school *at* Lafayette, still waiting. Saturday night should have been the one. Tech, playing its first Sun Belt game ever, spent three and a half quarters trying to hand it over: Eight penalties for 81 yards, two offensive fumbles, zero points off three takea...

Loyola’s Ty Walsworth has meal disrupted by recruiting offer
Loyola Prep wide receiver Ty Walsworth was eating a hamburger at Louisiana Tech on Sunday during a recruiting visit when his life took a dramatic turn. The junior speedster and gold medalist in the 100-meter during the spring’s LHSAA Track and Field Championships was surprised when Tech’s director of scouting Justin Apodaca and receivers coach Lorenzo Joe sat down for a chat. They offered the Flyer a full ride, his first at a Division I university. “Coach sits down next to me, and we were talking about football and then he hit me with that, and offered me on the spot right there. I couldn’t finish my food I was so happy,” Walsworth said. “To receive that offer means a whole lot to me and for it to be that school was just really amazing. I’ve always loved Tech and it’s really cool that it’s just an hour away from home.” The stepbrother of Loyola quarterback Bryce Restovich and cousin of former Byrd lineman Carson Bruno , who played at Tech and TCU, is going to take a wait-and-see approach to his recruiting before deciding.

Frustrated UL head coach addresses debate over disappointing finish
UL coach Michael Desormeaux knows the pain his players, coaches and fans have felt ever since his Ragin' Cajuns lost a heartbreaking 32-31 game at Louisiana Tech on Saturday. "Losing sucks," said Desormeaux, whose Cajuns will play against Troy at 4 p.m. Saturday at Our Lady of Lourdes Stadium. "Losing in the manner we lost makes it even worse. It's always difficult, but it's certainly a tough pill to swallow to give up a two-possession lead late in the fourth. You essentially feel like you let one slip."
