Louisiana Tech is two days away from playing Navy in the Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth, Texas. Both of these teams go into this bowl game on two game losing streaks.

For the second straight season, no one from the Saints is on the initial Pro Bowl roster.

Defensive end Cam Jordan is another injury replacement possibility. Jordan has 6.5 sacks this season.
