ULM Football Will Face LA Tech in Shreveport on Nov. 21

Football Aug 07
MONROE, La. – ULM will face I-20 rival Louisiana Tech in Shreveport's Independence Stadium on Nov. 21, 2020. The Warhawks (Arkansas) and Bulldogs (Vanderbilt) each replace road games previously scheduled on that date against Southeastern Conference opponents.
 
Louisiana Tech is the designated home team, and the game time is to be determined.
 
"We're excited to add Louisiana Tech to our 2020 football schedule," ULM Athletics Director Scott McDonald said. "Tommy McClelland and I began discussions last week and given the scheduling challenges both programs were facing due to COVID-19, it made perfect sense to schedule a neutral site game in Shreveport. This game gives both passionate fan bases something to look forward to in November."
 
"I'm sure our players will be thrilled to see Louisiana Tech has been added to this season's schedule," ULM head football coach Matt Viator said. "Obviously, I have a great deal of respect for Tommy McClelland (former athletics director at McNeese State), Skip Holtz and the Louisiana Tech football program. It also will be exciting for our players to have an opportunity to play at Independence Stadium in Shreveport."
 
It will mark the first meeting between the Warhawks and Bulldogs in 20 seasons. ULM and Louisiana Tech played each other for 39 consecutive seasons from 1953-91. After a five-year break in the series, the Warhawks and Bulldogs met for four-straight years from 1997-2000. LA Tech leads the all-time series, 30-13, including eight consecutive victories. ULM won seven out of eight meetings from 1980-97, including five in a row from 1983-87.
 
Ticket information for the Nov. 21 ULM-LA Tech match-up will be announced at a later date. Top priority will be given to ULM season-ticket holders while processing requests for this game.
