After back-to-back distressing losses to Army (66-14) and Southern Mississippi (34-7) at home, the Miners will travel on the road to face one of the top Conference USA West Division opponents, Louisiana Tech, on Saturday, Oct. 1.
The Miners (1-3, 0-1 C-USA) are not in the ideal situation they would like going into Saturday’s league play matchup. They are in distress on offense, with a question mark surrounding the quarterback position.
Although he is the heart of the offense, standout tailback Aaron Jones has been getting banged up left and right by other teams’ defenses. And, even though the defense delivers physicality and makes stops, there is no offensive production to put points on the board.
