Louisiana Tech survived a scare Saturday afternoon when it defeated Grambling 20-14 to move to 1-1 in 2019.
While Tech jumped out to a 20-0 lead at the half, the second half was quite sluggish and at time, uninspiring.
In this article we will take a look at how the Bulldogs performed on an individual basis.
Up first, the offense.
While Jaqwis Dancy only played 12 snaps, he was certainly effective while he was in there. The senior tailback looks poised to be big time piece for the Bulldogs come conference play.
One key for Tech going forward will be getting Adrian Hardy going on the outside at receiver. Hardy has just 6 catches for 69 yards through the first two games.
Now let's shift to the defense. La Tech gave up over 450 yards of total offense and was on the field for 91 plays Saturday.
Ezekiel Barnett is a player that continues to show up week in and week out. While undersized, Barnett continues to be a consistent contributor at outside linebacker. Barnett picked up his first sack of the season on Saturday.
Courtney Wallace played 70 of 91 snaps at nose guard on Saturday and did it well. Wallace is a space eater inside but did manage to collect five tackles in the win.
Willie Baker is a player that many had high expectations for entering 2019, getting him going as a pass rush will be key for Bob Diaco's defense going forward.
