The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs shut out the Miami Hurricanes, 14-0, in the Walk-On's Independence Bowl on Thursday.
The Bulldogs got an 8-yard touchdown run from J'Mar Smith late in the fourth quarter to close out the scoring.
Louisiana Tech had the first score when Smith passed 26 yards to Israel Tucker for a second-quarter touchdown. Bailey Hale's kick gave the Bulldogs a 7-0 lead.
Tech drove 91 yards in 13 plays for the score. The Bulldogs got runs of 13 and 12 yards from Justin Henderson in the drive.
Both teams had opportunities in the first quarter, but were unable to produce any points.
On its first possession, Smith connected with Malik Stanley for a 39-yard gain to the Miami 32-yard line. But two sacks and a 15-yard penalty for a chop block effectively ended the Bulldogs' drive with a punt.
Then, later in the first quarter, Miami's K.J. Osborn returned a punt 33 yards to the Tech 48-yard line. The Hurricanes faced a fourth-and-5 from the Tech 32-yard line. Quarterback Jarren Williams scrambled for what would have been a first down, but a personal foul on the Hurricanes wiped out the first down.
