Looking for some leadership?

The Louisiana Tech football team decided on Wednesday who will lead them into battle against the mighty Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday.

Senior tight end Anthony James, senior safety Dez Abrams, senior wide receiver Eric Newman, junior nose tackle Josh Muse and junior linebacker Brannon Jackson were elected team captains in a vote by the squad members.

All five of those guys have exhibited the work ethic necessary to draw respect from their teammates. The Bulldogs may not upset the Huskers on Saturday, but with this group of student-athletes leading them, they should make a respectable showing.
