Vandals have tough going in Louisiana

College football: It’s been a rough couple of trips to Louisiana for the Idaho Vandals.

Just weeks after losing 63-14 at LSU, the Vandals returned to the Deep South on Saturday and were hounded 70-28 by the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs at Ruston, La.

Louisiana Tech amassed 839 yards in total offense.

Kenneth Dixon rushed for 232 yards and six touchdowns for the Bulldogs and Colby Cameron was 29 of 37 for 400 yards and two touchdowns passing.

Dixon’s six TDs broke Arry Moody’s 36-year-old single-game school record of five set against Northeast Louisiana in 1976. He has rushed for 16 TDs this season.
