Louisiana Tech Shuts Out Old Dominion 26-0 with 6 Sacks
Old Dominion ran the ball 22 times and finished with negative 13 yards. That is a real number, and it is why Louisiana Tech won 26-0 without ever being threatened.
Louisiana Tech scored first and never stopped leading. Blake Baker ran in from 4 yards at 8:41 of the first quarter, Trey Kukuk added a 5-yard run at 3:27, and Hunter Rioux's 49-yard field goal made it 17-0 in the second. Eli Finley's 2-yard catch from Baker made it 23-0 in the third (the two-point try failed, or this would have been a 27-0 game), and Kaegan Kent's 25-yard field goal at 9:03 of the fourth closed the scoring.
Old Dominion finished with 141 total yards, 154 of them through the air, and threw one interception. Louisiana Tech had 438, threw no interceptions and sacked Old Dominion six times. Baker did the work, completing 28 of 34 passes for 303 yards, and Finley caught 10 for 128 and the score.
Kent's field goal at 9:03 of the fourth was the last scoring play, and Old Dominion never got on the board. Its leading receivers were Leon Haughton Jr. with four catches for 45 yards, Josh Rodriguez with four for 43 and Kendall Harris with four for 38, a spread-out line for an offense that finished with 141 yards. Andrew Burnette carried 20 times for 63 yards for Louisiana Tech. Louisiana Tech was the better team in every column here, including the one that matters.
Louisiana Tech is 5-2 and Old Dominion is 2-6. Finley's 28.8 points were the best of the game, and that is what a tight end with 10 catches does for you.
