Calwise Jr. powers offense, Jackson Jr. leads defense in Louisiana Tech’s 41-17 win over Troy

Marcus Calwise Jr. led Louisiana Tech's offense with nine receptions for 137 yards and a touchdown in their 41-17 victory over Troy on Saturday. The Bulldogs dominated from the start, scoring on each of their first three drives and four of the first five, taking a 20-10 halftime lead. Kaegan Kent contributed with 28-yard and 45-yard field goals, while Calwise added a 28-yard receiving score and Sergio Snider scored from the 7-yard line.

The defense also played a key role, holding Troy to only seven points and forcing three turnovers. Alonzo Jackson Jr. was the standout defensive player, recording 11 total tackles, two sacks, and a 66-yard scoop-and-score with 1:05 left in the game. Troy managed to catch up early in the third quarter after a fumble recovery touchdown by Jackson, but Louisiana Tech maintained their lead for the remainder of the game. The Bulldogs will next host Southern Miss next Saturday.
