Cupcake Saturday: LaTech RB goes 99-Yards for TD

Safe to say, Saturday September 6th won't go down as a day of amazingly competitive college football.

Yeah, sure, there were a few good games (USC/Stanford, Oregon/Mich. St, Ohio St/VaTech), but most of the games...were blowouts.

There were a few amazing plays and a lot of dull ones.

One of the best: How about Kenneth Dixon of Lousiana Tech....he lines up deep in his own end zone, takes the pitch, makes two moves and goes untouched...99 yards for the TD.

Tech would beat the Ragin' Cajuns 48-20...

Who Is Kenneth Dixon And Why Does He Keep Scoring...???

((HT: KSLA-TV Shreveport))

The short answer is: Because Louisiana Tech head coach Sonny Dykes tells QB Colby Cameron to hand the ball off to the talented freshman...

Dixon scored six TD's in last night's 70-28 win over Idaho.

"It was good to see the way the team came out and played after a tough loss last week," Dykes said post-game. "We wanted to come out and get off to a good start after not doing that last week against Texas A&M."

Safe to say, they did...

Louisiana Tech picked up 839 total yards of offense, a single game record and the most by a Division I team this season. The Bulldogs rushed for 408 yards and passed for another 431 yards in the win.

The 70 points were the most by Tech since they scored 77 in a win over UL-Lafayette in 1998. Tech entered the game the top-ranked team in the country in scoring offense and, also tied a WAC single game record with 56 first half points.

Here's the wrap from Joe Aillet...
