PROVO, Utah-BYU Director of Athletics Tom Holmoe, per a Monday statement, announced an addition to the 2020 football schedule.

This game will be against Louisiana Tech Friday October 2 at LaVell Edwards Stadium.

The Cougars and the Bulldogs have never met on the gridiron.

Louisiana Tech joined Conference USA in 2013 and advanced to what is now known as NCAA FBS Football in 1975.

Prior to this, the Bulldogs won three NCAA Division II national championships, in 1972, 1973 and 1974.

The Bulldogs, who will commence their season Saturday at Southern Miss, are in their eighth season under Skip Holtz, who is 56-36 (.609) at the helm at Ruston, La.

The Bulldogs were coached by one-time BYU football head coach Gary Crowton, who was 21-13 (.618) from 1996-1998 at Louisiana Tech. Crowton later went 26-23 (.531) at BYU from 2001-2004.
