Louisiana Tech played and won the bowl game in 2015. It will be Georgia Southern’s first appearance in the New Orleans Bowl.

Adrian Hardy has 440 receiving yards and four touchdowns.

Louisiana Tech linebacker Tyler Grubbs has 84 tackles and Bee Jay Williams is leading with three interceptions.

Georgia Southern finished the regular season 7-5 and finished third in their division in third Sun Belt Conference. Quarterback Shai Werts led the team in passing (936) and rushing yards (649). He has 15 total touchdowns this season. The Eagles don’t have much of a passing game which is going to be a problem against the Bulldogs.
