Louisiana Tech Bulldogs football statistical leaders

The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs football program in various categories,[1] including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Bulldogs represent Louisiana Tech University in the NCAA's Conference USA.

Although Louisiana Tech began competing in intercollegiate football in 1901,[1] the school's official record book does not generally include records from before the 1950s, as records from before this period are often incomplete and inconsistent.

These lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons:

  • Since the 1950s, seasons have increased from 10 games to 11 and then 12 games in length.
  • The NCAA didn't allow freshmen to play varsity football until 1972 (with the exception of the World War II years), allowing players to have four-year careers.
  • Bowl games only began counting toward single-season and career statistics in 2002.[2] The Bulldogs have played in five bowl games since this decision, giving many recent players an extra game to accumulate statistics.

These lists are updated through the end of the 2016 season.
