  10/26/22 - QB Matthew DowningrSr/2025, Elon

  Louisiana Tech football is at a crossroads with the quarterback position. Late in the first quarter, Parker McNeil went down. With less than a minute left in the game with a game-tying touchdown on the line, Matthew Downing went down. Landry Lyddy, a freshman, stepped up and took the Bulldogs (2-5, 1-2 Conference-USA) into overtime but a failed two-point conversion cost them the game in a 42-41 heartbreaker. Louisiana Tech football coach Sonny Cumbie has a decision to make- who will start against Florida International on Friday. "I'm excited about the challenge with whomever walks out there," Cumbie said. Unfortunately, Downing is out of the race with a season-ending a knee injury, Cumbie said.

Prior the injury Downing had completed 12-of-24 passed for 159 yards, two TDs and one interception alongside 40 rushing yards. "It's a tough deal for (Downing), it's a tough deal personally, for the team and anybody who goes through and injury in football," Cumbie said. "I think when you care about your players, when you care about their wellbeing its a difficult deal." The typical starter at quarterback this season, McNeil, is being monitored daily to see if he is able to come back for Friday night. With Downing out for the season, sophomore Jack Turner rises into the conversation. Turner has yet to see game action this season. As the week progresses, Cumbie said Turner and Lyddy will be taking more reps during practice. - Monroe News Star
