American college football season
The 2024 Louisiana Tech Bulldogs football team represents Louisiana Tech University in Conference USA (C-USA) during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Bulldogs are led by Sonny Cumbie in his third year as the head coach. The Bulldogs play their home games at Joe Aillet Stadium, located in Ruston, Louisiana.
The Bulldogs finished their regular season with an overall record of 5–7 (4–4 in conference), and initially were not selected for post-season play. However, on December 14, Louisiana Tech was selected to replace Marshall in the Independence Bowl, after Marshall withdrew from that contest.
