If Louisiana Tech can get off to a fast start the Bulldogs should have a great chance to win. FIU ranks 120th nationally in points per game.

Both defenses have really struggled throughout the season. Are we in for a shootout?

Finally, FIU is +3 in the turnover margin this season. Tech can't afford to lose the turnover battle Friday night and expect to win on the road.

The Bulldogs are looking for their first road win since December 3, 2020.
