Clay Thevenin, Blake Baker propel Louisiana Tech to 55-14 victory over Sam Houston

Clay Thevenin rushed for 143 yards and three scores, Blake Baker had a touchdown pass and a touchdown run and Louisiana Tech breezed to a 55-14 victory over Sam Houston

NOVEMBER 1 • Associated Press

Devin Gandy - Catches TD Gandy caught two passes for 78 yards and a touchdowns versus Sam Houston on Friday.

Impact The touchdown is nice, but Gandy isn't a frequent source of offense for this team. Through eight games he has 19 receptions and this is his season high in yards.

Andrew Burnette - Rushes for long TD Burnette ran three times for 72 yards and a score against Sam Houston on Friday.

Impact That's back-to-back games with a touchdown for Burnette. Of course, you can't get too excited about a guy who only got three carries. He's the third-string back, but he broke off a 66-yard score in the fourth quarter of a blowout win. That's the long and short of it.

Omiri Wiggins - Rushes for 136 yards Wiggins ran 14 times for 136 yards and a score Friday against Sam Houston.

Impact Wiggins has had an up-and-down season, but these are good numbers. However, Clay Thevenin actually outdid him with 143 yards and three touchdowns. If you're thinking, "Wow, that's a lot of run production," it is worth noting Sam Houston has truly an atrocious defense.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Clay Thevenin - Rushes for three TDs Thevenin ran 11 times for 143 yards and three touchdowns but lost a fumble Friday against Sam Houston.

Impact You can get away with a fumble when you have numbers like this. Thevenin really bolstered his numbers given that he came into this game with 296 yards and three scores on the ground. It's impressive, to be sure, but Sam Houston may be the worst FBS team.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Blake Baker - Two TDs, INT Baker went 17-for-21 for 221 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against Sam Houston on Friday. He also ran seven times for 42 yards and a touchdown.

Impact This is pretty much par for the course for Baker. He's yet to throw for more than one touchdown in a game, but he does some damage with his legs and has three rushing scores. Really Baker's job is to keep the offense moving, and the Bulldogs are now one win away from bowl eligibility.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Marques Singleton Jr. - Available vs. Sam Houston Singleton (undisclosed) isn't listed on Louisiana Tech's injury report ahead of Friday night against Sam Houston.

Impact Singleton logged only two snaps in the Bulldogs' Week 9 loss to Western Kentucky, but the wideout is available once again. Singleton has 17 grabs for 108 yards and one score this season.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Drew Henderson - Questionable Friday night Henderson (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for Louisiana Tech against Sam Houston.

Impact Henderson missed Week 9, and he remains questionable for the Bulldogs against Sam Houston. If he can't go, expect John Hoyet Chance to be the starting kicker for Louisiana Tech.

OCTOBER 29 • Data Skrive

Devin Gandy - Returns kick for TD Gandy had four catches for 56 yards and returned a kick for a touchdown Tuesday against WKU.

Impact The kick return touchdown is impressive, but of course those are hard to rely on. This represents a season high in both receptions and receiving yards for Gandy, who has a single receiving touchdown this season. Although, weirdly, it came against LSU.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Drew Henderson - Expected to return vs. Beakats Henderson (undisclosed) is expected to return to action in Week 10 against Sam Houston on Friday night, per Matt Belinson of the Ruston Daily Leader.

Impact Henderson missed Week 9 against Western Kentucky but is expected to return to action Friday night, limiting his missed action to just one game. If he does indeed return, this would send place-kicker John Hoyet Chance back to the bench.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Marques Singleton Jr. - Logs two snaps Singleton (undisclosed) logged just two snaps during Tuesday's 28-27 loss to Western Kentucky.

Impact Singleton was held without a counting stat on the day, appearing on the field for just two snaps against the Hilltoppers. The 5-foot-8 receiver had previously been moderately involved within the Louisiana Tech passing attack, recording 17 catches for 108 yards and a touchdown through the team's first six games, so his exclusion from the gameplan is definitely concerning and could point to an injury. His status will be worth keeping an eye on moving forward as the Bulldogs prepare for next week's Halloween matchup against Sam Houston.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Mike Jackson - Gets over 100 yards Jackson had six catches for 103 yards versus WKU on Tuesday.

Impact This is certainly an outlier of a game for Jackson. He came into this one with 135 receiving yards on the season, and his previous high for a campaign was 222 receiving yards.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Andrew Burnette - Rushes for TD Burnette ran 11 times for 32 yards and a touchdown against WKU on Tuesday.

Impact The touchdown is nice, but Burnette is, at best, the number-four option in the run game. At least, that is the case when Blake Baker is healthy and under center, as he was in this one.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Clay Thevenin - Big day through the air Thevenin ran 12 times for 35 yards and had six catches for 52 yards against WKU on Tuesday.

Impact The receiving yards are nice, but there are some concerns about Thevenin on the ground. He's averaged 3.5 yards per carry against FBS opponents.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Blake Baker - Throws TD, INT Baker went 31-for-45 for 340 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against WKU on Tuesday. He also ran 10 times for 49 yards.

Impact Baker bounced back, and then some, after getting banged up. He's only thrown four touchdowns against two picks, but he wasn't starting for the entirety of the season. Plus, he's added 219 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Drew Henderson - DNP for Week 9 Henderson (undisclosed) did not play during Louisiana Tech's 28-27 loss Tuesday against Western Kentucky.

Impact In place of Henderson, John Hoyet Chance attempted each of Louisiana Tech's point-based kicks. As for Week 10, the Bulldogs' game is both scheduled Oct. 31 and against Sam Houston.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Drew Henderson - Questionable vs. Hilltoppers Henderson (undisclosed) is listed as questionable vs. Western Kentucky on Tuesday night.

Impact Henderson has yet to miss a game this season. The kicker, who's 3-for-4 on field goal attempts and 16-for 17 on extra points this year, may have to give way to Kaegan Kent if he can't go Tuesday night.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Jay Wilkerson - Will miss rest of season Wilkerson (undisclosed) is out for the rest of the 2025 season.

Impact Wilkerson isn't a regular in the passing game for LA Tech, so his absence won't make a significant impact in fantasy.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Blake Baker - Available vs. Western Kentucky Baker (undisclosed) is off Louisiana Tech's injury report ahead of Tuesday night against Western Kentucky.

Impact Baker was considered day-to-day as of last Friday, but the starting quarterback is good to go against the Hilltoppers. Baker has tossed for 659 yards, three touchdowns and one interceptions while completing 61.0 percent of his passes.
