SMU vs. Louisiana Tech updates: Live NCAA Football game scores, results for Saturday

Live scores, highlights and updates from the SMU vs. Louisiana Tech football game

The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs will head out on the road to face off against the SMU Mustangs at 12:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Gerald J. Ford Stadium.

Looking back to last season, Louisiana Tech struggled throughout, finishing with a less-than-stellar 3-9 record. On the other hand, SMU finished a solid 7-6 in the regular season last year, but they're hoping to make up for the 24-23 loss they were dealt in the New Mexico Bowl.

Louisiana Tech will need to dig deep on Saturday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. For those looking to play the spread, bear this in mind: they haven't played as the underdogs yet this season.

That disadvantage in the odds might be especially worrying for Louisiana Tech considering the team was a sub-par 1-7 as the underdog last season. While their fans probably aren't happy about it, betting on the team to lose was the smart play last year, and bettors who put $100 on that outcome every game finished the season up $1,064.04. SMU will open their season as the favorite, and the team was 7-0 as such last season.
