RUSTON, La. – Conference USA officials announced on Tuesday that Louisiana Tech will have a pair of football games moved to Friday night this fall, including one home contest.

“We know this is a non-traditional date, but we are excited about the chance to be on national television,” said LA Tech Director of Athletics Tommy McClelland. “We have already started working with our local community to make this an exciting night.
