New Louisiana Tech blog: Rare WAC road win big for progressing ...
One thing Louisiana Tech football coach Derek Dooley noticed early on during the 2007 was the lack of his team's defensive front four to rush the quarterback in non-blitz situations.The Tech coach said that hurt the team because the Bulldogs had to blitz in order to pressure the quarterback, and blitzes usually leave an opening somewhere else.Openings often exploited by opposing defenses.

Although conditions this summer have not yet duplicated the severity of the historic hypoxic event of 2006, the outlook for the remainder of the summer and early fall is uncertain.
Measurements taken by the OSU scientists in late June mirrored those of last year, but a shift to a southerly wind pattern in mid-July pushed the mass of low-oxygen water away from the shoreline.
