Louisiana Tech has hit the pause button on football workouts.
According to Pete Thamel, the Bulldogs paused all football activities after the program received five sets of positive test results for coronavirus. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
Louisiana Tech has paused football practice after 5 positive COVID -19 tests and 13 additional players under contact tracing, the school said. La Tech doesn’t open until Sept. 12, which gives them flexibility in training. Remaining players will lift in small groups.

The hits just keep coming, folks. The hits just keep coming one after another when it comes to the world of sports and coronavirus.
With every passing day, it seems like more and more negative news comes out. We’re on the brink of the season being canceled, and Louisiana Tech has no suspended workouts.
Is there any good news out there at all? It certainly doesn’t feel that way.

As I always say, the key is making sure that sick players just stay away from the rest of the team. Let them heal up and they can return once they test negative.
The last thing you need to have is a locker room getting decimated by players returning with the virus and infecting everyone.

Hopefully, the Bulldogs can bounce back sooner than later. We’ve already had enough bad news in the world of college football. We don’t need more.
