Louisiana Tech (1-0) opened its 2024 season with a 25-17 victory over Nicholls (0-1) on Saturday night.

The Bulldogs were forced to play three different quarterbacks in the win due to Jack Turner going down in the first quarter due to injury.

Hayden Christman, although he didn't start, saw the most action at offensive tackle for the Bulldogs.

Landon Nelson and Zarian McGill played a pretty even amount of snaps at the center position.
