The game will benefit tornado relief efforts on the Louisiana Tech campus and the Ruston area which was hit by an EF-3 tornado in the early morning of April 25.

Many athletic facilities including the softball, baseball, soccer and tennis complexes all suffered extensive damage on the Tech campus.

The time for the game will be announced at a later date. Both the Tigers and Bulldogs have open dates in football on Nov. 2. Tickets are available through Louisiana Tech. Tickets are on sale now for $15 for lower bowl reserve (red seating) and $10 for upper bowl general admission (blue seating). Tickets can be purchased by calling the LA Tech Ticket Office at (318) 257-3631 or by visiting LATechSports.com/tickets.

“This is what we do in Louisiana,” said LSU Coach Will Wade. “When someone needs help, we all pitch in.
