The College Football Experience (@TCEonSGPN) on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network continues its 138 college football team preview series with the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs 2026 Season Preview. Pick Dundee aka (@TheColbyD) & Ryan McIntyre (@Moneyline_Mac) break down the 2026 Louisiana Tech Bulldogs roster and what to expect in the Sun Belt this season. Was Sonny Cumbie's 8-5 breakthrough and Independence Bowl win the real deal, or a product of a down Conference USA? Can the Bulldogs handle the jump up to the Sun Belt in year five under Cumbie?
Can new offensive coordinator Nathan Young keep an offense that ranked 7th nationally in rushing humming in his first year calling plays? Is Blake Baker fully back from his torn ACL, and how does Trey Kukuk factor into the quarterback room? Can a defense that finished 121st against the pass hold up against a more physical Sun Belt slate? How does a brutal non-conference draw at LSU, at Baylor and home against Army shape the season? Which rivalry road trips against Louisiana and ULM swing the year? And where's the betting value on the Louisiana Tech win total, Sun Belt odds and College Football Playoff chances? We talk it all and more on this episode of The College Football Experience.
