The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (4-1) will square off against a familiar Conference USA foe when they hit the road to face the Kennesaw State Owls (3-2) on Thursday, October 9, 2025, at Fifth Third Stadium.
The Bulldogs have enjoyed a strong start to the season, dropping just one of their opening five matchups, a 23-7 setback against powerhouse LSU on September 6. Outside of that stumble, Louisiana Tech has looked sharp, delivering a 24-0 shutout of Southeastern Louisiana, dismantling New Mexico State 49-14, and taking care of business against Southern Miss with a solid 30-20 victory.
On the other side, Kennesaw State has had a rockier road. The Owls began their campaign with a heart-breaking 10-9 loss to Wake Forest, followed by a humbling 56-9 drubbing at the hands of Indiana. But they've turned things around since, finding their rhythm with a 27-13 win over Merrimack and following it up with a gritty 28-21 triumph over Arkansas State on September 20.
