War Hawks look to build a winner in 2013

The War hawks are coming off one of the more impressive seasons in recent history and will benefit from the additional practices they had during their preparation for the Independence Bowl. This year they are returning 17 starters (tied for most in Sun Belt), and will have a shot at double digit wins.

He will have his hands full this season as Louisiana Tech is only returning seven starters across the board.

But this year, expectations could be low for the bulldogs as they will have a tough time in a Conference USA.
