Bryson Daily Leads No. 19 Army to 27-6 Victory Over Louisiana Tech in the Independence Bowl
SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) — Bryson Daily broke the FBS record for touchdowns by a quarterback in a season with 32, running for three scores in No. 19 Army’s 27-6 victory over Louisiana Tech in the Independence Bowl on Saturday night.
Daily ran for 127 yards on 27 carries and was 2-of-9 passing for 65 yards to help Army set a program victory record at 12-2. Daily broke the FBS quarterback record for touchdowns in a season set by Navy’s Keenan Reynolds in 2013.
“I’m really proud of this senior class, the way we came together to have this season,” Daily said. “To have two six-win seasons in a row, to turn it around and get 12, just extremely proud of the guys.”
Hayden Reed added 114 yards rushing and a TD on 20 carries.
Army entered the game with a nation-best 298.9 yards rushing per game and punished the Bulldogs (5-8), a late replacement for Sun Belt champion Marshall.
“They responded from a very emotional and difficult loss (to Navy) two weeks ago with a great effort,” Army coach Jeff Monken said.
Army set an Independence Bowl record with a 21-play drive, going 75 yards in the second quarter to take a 21-3 lead. Daily scored on an 8-yard run to end the drive that had two third-down conversions and three fourth-down conversions.
“It felt like we were out there forever,” Reed said.
Drew Henderson made field goals of 27 and 44 yards for Louisiana Tech. Tru Edwards, who has entered the transfer portal, had eight catches for 92 yards.
Takeaways
Army: The Black Knights were able to wash away some of the “bad taste” that lingered from a loss to Navy two weeks ago.
Louisiana Tech: The Bulldogs hired a new offensive coordinator, Tony Franklin, after the regular season.

MONROE, La. (KNOE) – The winter storm took a toll on North Louisiana, leaving debris scattered across roadways and yards.
Contracted debris removal for the storm began on Feb. 9, 2026, and has been mostly completed.
To ensure all hazards on the rights-of-way are picked up, crews will be doing one final pass to remove any final debris.
Crews will be going along state routes in the following parishes:
- East Carroll
- West Carroll
- Richland
- Morehouse
- Jackson
- Madison
Louisiana DOTD stresses that this pass is only for naturally occurring debris from the winter storm.
“We really don’t want people going into their backyards and finding debris to put out there. That’s not really the purpose of this, really is supposed to be naturally occurring storm debris. So, you know, don’t put your household debris and waste and things out on the right of way” said Erin Buchanan, Public Information Officer, Louisiana DOTD.
Crews will not be passing through local or parish-owned roads.
If you are unsure what the rights-of-way is on a state route, the best rule of thumb is to place it on the roadside of the utility pole.
Buchanan says she hopes the final pass will be finished by the end of April.
Any debris placed on state roadways after the completion of final pass will have to be removed through normal waste management means or by the property owner.
If you want to find out if your route is part of the final pass, Louisiana DOTD asks you to call their hotline at 850-849-6726.

V. Elaine Thompson, associate professor of history and undergraduate coordinator for the School of Human Inquiry at Louisiana Tech University, has received the Garnie W. McGinty Lifetime Meritorious Service Award from the Louisiana Historical Association.
The prize honors Garnie McGinty, a longtime professor of history at Louisiana Tech University, and is the organization’s highest honor. The honor is awarded annually to those who have made significant contributions to scholarship in Louisiana history, to the historical profession in Louisiana or to the association.
Samuel Shepherd, professor emeritus at Centenary College of Louisiana, praised Thompson’s lifelong dedication in his nomination of her for the award.
“Louisiana history has radiated through Dr. Thompson’s entire life,” Shepherd said. “Her passion about the state’s past has been matched by her extensive knowledge and deep understanding of it. She has enriched the minds of students and scholars, as well as the general public, and stimulated them to discover more about Louisiana and its people. She richly deserves her McGinty honor.”
Thompson’s honor completes a trio of distinctions within the Louisiana Historical Association, as she has also served as president and been elected to the Company of Fellows.
“It has been my privilege to serve the members of the LHA, my colleagues, and my students during the past two decades,” Thompson said. “ I’m honored and delighted to be recognized for my efforts, and I look forward to many more years of diligent work in researching, teaching, and promoting Louisiana history. I’m so grateful to the Louisiana Historical Association and to the McGinty Trust for this award.”
Thompson, who grew up in Clinton, has been a member of the Louisiana Tech faculty since 2004.
BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) – The Louisiana House passed a bill that would hold parents financially responsible when their children threaten schools.
House Bill 137 would allow courts to fine parents up to $5,000 if a child under 14 is convicted of making a school threat. The bill now heads to the Senate.
The convicted children could also face a mental health exam, up to a year of probation or six months in juvenile detention, and mandatory counseling in a back on track youth program.
Supporters say the measure will deter threats, while critics call it a dangerous precedent.
The proposal is making its way through the legislature as part of the 2026 Regular Legislative Session, which must adjourn no later than 6 p.m. on Monday, June 1.
