Impact Thevenin usurped Omiri Wiggins' position as the lead back for the Bulldogs. While he did find the end zone, averaging 3.6 yards per carry against UTEP isn't exactly inspiring of confidence.

Clay Thevenin - Steps into lead role Thevenin ran 19 times for 68 yards and a touchdown versus UTEP on Saturday.
Omiri Wiggins - Done has top back? Wiggins ran nine times for 37 yards versus UTEP on Saturday.
Impact Wiggins began the season atop the depth chart, but he's struggled, as his 3.7 yards per carry show. In this game, Clay Thevenin got 19 carries, so it seems like the pecking order at running back has changed.

Blake Baker - Turnovers raise concerns Baker went 18-for-26 for 137 yards, one touchdown, and one pick against UTEP on Saturday. He also lost two fumbles.
Impact Louisiana Tech looks legit this year, and Baker has been at the helm for the last few games. However, three turnovers, even in a win, is concerning. With a bye coming up, the Bulldogs staff will probably think long and hard about returning Trey Kukuk to the starting role.

Jay Wilkerson - Not on injury report Wilkerson (undisclosed) is not on the injury report for Saturday's game at UTEP.
Impact Wilkerson has yet to play this season, but at least he's no longer on the injury report. The wideout should add another piece for the passing attack.

Trey Kukuk - Not on injury report Kukuk (undisclosed) is not on the injury report and will be available to face UTEP on Saturday.
Impact Kukuk was questionable to play in this Week 5 matchup, but the signal-caller is not only off the injury report, but he could also recover his starting role. Kukuk's return should send Blake Baker to a backup role.

Luke Seib - Plays a single snap in Week 4 Seib played one snap in Louisiana Tech's 30-20 win over Southern Mississippi in Week 4 ,per Pro Football Focus.
Impact Seib was questionable heading into Week 4, and while he only managed one snap, he at least managed to take the field. The tight end will look to be more involved in Week 5 against UTEP.

Eli Finley - Over 150 yards Finley caught six passes for 155 yards versus USM on Saturday.
Impact Finley had a 73-yard catch that, surprisingly, didn't result in a touchdown. This is a big day for anybody, much less a tight end, and Finley now has three games with at least four catches.
SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Clay Thevenin - Scores on the ground Thevenin ran seven times for 11 yards and a touchdown against USM on Saturday. He also had one catch for 17 yards.
Impact Averaging 1.6 yards per carry isn't good, but Thevenin is in a secondary role so there isn't much reason to sweat it. He's primed to get a handful of touches per game as a backup but in the way where anything positive he does for the team is a bonus.
SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Omiri Wiggins - Rushes for TD Wigging ran 12 times for 49 yards and a touchdown Saturday against USM.
Impact Wiggins has gotten double-digit carries each of the last two weeks, but Blake Baker seems primed to stick around under center, and he also rushes the ball. However, Wiggins does have a touchdown against every La Tech opponent aside from LSU.
SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Blake Baker - Rushes for TD Baker went 15-for-21 for 239 yards and ran 13 times for 29 yards and a score against USM on Saturday.
Impact Even though Trey Kukuk (undisclosed) was healthy enough to play, Baker saw every snap under center. He was efficient through the air, and the Bulldogs picked up their third win of the season. Expect Baker to be the guy going forward.
SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Kukuk - DNP for Week 4 Kukuk (undisclosed) did not play during Louisiana Tech's 30-20 win Saturday against Southern Miss.
Impact In place of Kukuk, Blake Baker impressed. He logged 15 completed passes for 239 yards and a rushing touchdown Saturday, impressively all without any turnovers. Currently, Louisiana Tech's next game is Sept. 27 at UTEP.
