A Conference USA battle is on tap on Saturday as the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs will host the FIU Panthers to start their respective 2023 campaigns. Kickoff is scheduled at 9:00 p.m. ET on August 26th at Joe Aillet Stadium.

Looking back to last season, FIU struggled throughout, finishing with a less-than-stellar 4-8 record. Similarly, Louisiana Tech finished with a dismal 3-9 record.

FIU will need to dig deep on Saturday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. They finished last season with a 5-7 record against the spread.

FIU beat Louisiana Tech 42-34 in their previous matchup last October. The rematch might be a little tougher for FIU since the squad won't have the home-turf advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
