RIVALRIES: Louisiana Tech Bulldogs IGNITE Sun Belt Drama, Sonny Cumbie and Eli Finley LEAD Charge

Louisiana Tech Bulldogs officially join the Sun Belt, igniting fresh rivalries and high expectations. Can Head Coach Sonny Cumbie’s squad translate Conference USA defensive dominance into Sun Belt success? Quarterback Blake Baker gets the nod, but watch for dynamic threats from both him and Trey Kukuk, plus the versatile, all-everything tight end Eli Finley—who just might pull off a few trick plays. Host Dave Schultz sits down with Cumbie, linebacker Kolbe Fields, and Finley for exclusive insights on team chemistry, offensive identity, and aggressive defensive strategies. Hot topics include the Bulldogs’ streamlined travel, the rekindled rivalry with the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns, and the players’ personal journeys—Fields’ transfer from LSU and commitment to Ruston, and Finley’s remarkable shift from soccer to football star. Can LA Tech’s stingy defense hold Sun Belt powerhouses under 21 points, or will scoring battles define their inaugural season?
